ARJUN'S POV GUYS

Bratha yudi was staking everything left and right and I couldn't stop him.. I had failed I couldn't stop him.. my breath was coming in short gasps now and my hands were shaking ... I STAKE SAHDEV my body froze...NO !!! NO!! NOT MY BROTHER !!! arjun wasn't going to stay silent anymore he was about to get up ... he felt bheem's large hand close around his small wrist ... he shook his head .. arjun wasn't going to listen to his elders for once he tried to wrench his hand from bheem's iron clad grasp but failed...he felt tears of frustration sting his eyes..sahdev he moaned bheem shook his head again and pulled him down..jesht lost sahdev ...NAKUL !! he bit his lip...bratha yudhi was crying now and so was brath bheem...but he couldn't afford to loose strength he was always the strength of the family..but madhav was his strength...but right now...madhav he moaned help me...save me...for once there was no immediate miraculous protection for him...he knew what was coming next .. and to his own surprise he was ready..I STAKE ARJUN !! his name reverberated around the hall..and he heard a soft strangled moan..no one else noticed..he looked at angaraaj who had his face covered with his palms...karn small show of support gave suprising strength to parth as he slowly stood up amidst loud laughter.. they played and jesht lost him...bheem took a protective stance in front of him blocking him from the view of the sabha...he closed his eyes ... "a great calamity will fall upon the kuru dynasty..and at that time more than anything else ..you shouldn't lose your courage...your born for much greater purposes don't fall in the pit of grief..remember who you are parth and act accordingly" the gentle muscal tone floated away he had asked madhav then what calamity was going to fall upon them , but madhav had smiled sadly hugged him as though trying to give him strength through the hug and left... snapping back to reality arjun placed his hand gently on his elder brothers shoulder..the whole hall was in dead silence..maybe they expected him to protest to this craziness..he thought of madhav again.. " give me strength my lord" arjun whispered mentally as he said in a whisper though but he knew each and every person in the sabha heard him... "IM DEVRAAJ INDRA'S SON AND A LITTLE GAME CANT MAKE ME A SLAVE" he looked at the sabha at large... without my acceptance..you could here a pin drop he looked at karn and was stunned to see him cryinghe was doing so silently that arjun knew karns life was a story of silent tears ... his heart went out to the man ... as compassion filled his heart he turned and looked at his guilty eldest brother... "I ACCEPT" he walked making sure that his long robes sweeped the ground powerfully and gracefully...he wiped his robes near dhuryodhan's face for extra measure ... a memory reached his mind ... "DRAMA QUEEN" karn's laughing voice had addressed him.. a small smile lit his face up..he looked up at angaraaj as he stood in between the other slaves ...dhuryodhan was saying something.. " mitr..im gifting you a slave today...arjun" karn forced out a laugh...and arjun couldn't help but roll his eyes...karn looked at him ..arjun was sure he was remembering one of their days in the mountains..the hadn't stayed for all the ten days they had come back in six days time arjun had got a fever...and madhav had come and told them both to return and they had.. he mentally shivered the climate really had been very very cold that night ... angaraaj had done all he could but arjun had cocooned himself in his blankets only letting his very red nose out for air...and then madhav had come and the next day they had left...madhav had always been there for him .. even when he was facing the slightest trouble..he'd stop this madness too ??? right ??????
