Chamber scene from Parva as promised. The remainder is not very nice, so I cut it off where it was still nice
😳"One day Arjuna came to the palace where I resided. As usual Dharma was busy, as it was before noon, administering justice in the assembly hall. The servants got up and left the chamber, carrying with them the children who were playing at the time. Arjuna sat facing me.
I was sitting with a lowered head. Neither of us spoke. Was there really need for any words between us? We understood each other without the help of words. After a while, he broke the silence, by saying, Panchali'. I raised my head and looked at his face. My breathing was unsteady, and my forehead sweating. Moving closer, he took my face in his hands. He said,
'Didn't you hear me?' I bent my head again. Immediately he got up and shut the door. Then he lifted me and carried me to the bed nearby.😳
