silence ... silence...silence greeted the curly haired one as he walked towards the camp...no lights..no celebration..no music...no one...another figure followed him..dark , taller..decked with the infamous peacock feather in silence the two men proceeded towards the camp..there was silence between the two of them...which was strange ... these two together silent...meant only mischief...but it wasnt mischief in their faces..the taller one looked expressionless...while the other confused... both slightly wounded and injured due to their own wars..which wasnt restricted to the battlefield alone..the owner of the peacock feather placed his hand on the others shoulder squeezing it in a mode of comfort ... the latter dint seem to notice...Arjun slowly turned to face madhav..did i do something wrong he whispered .. madhav closed his eyes..pain flashing through them..he opened the again to meet the big hazel orbs of his soul mate...no madhav whispered you havnt done anything wrong..its fate..arjun looked confused..but madhav you yourself told me and panchali just the other day that fate is never wrong..its we who decide it..madhav looked at parth..it was no secret from anyone how much he loved him...for the first time in his life the lord of the universe was afraid..did he have the guts to tell arjun the truth ??? he averted his eyes and turned away saying yes... i did ..but today the kaurav sena have decided the fate of the pride of the pandavas...arjun felt a cold fear grip his heart..brushing past madhav arjun rushed to the tent where they generally held their meetings..silence at the entrance..arjuns legs trembled as he walked forward his eyes looking for the familiar forms of his brothers...all of them were safe .. unharmed... arjun sighed in pure relief rushing forward to hug his brothers pulling back from bheems bone crushing hug..arjun said with a happy smile i was soo worried about you all..i was terrified for some reason but you all are okay..unscathed...so what big mistake did i do that even abhimanyu dint come to see me today ??
there was dead silence in the room...wheres abhi ?? arjun asked the smile slowly fading...abhi is sleeping yudhishtir said.. oh ! arjun felt upset his childs happy face always manged to lift his spirits however low they maybe and abhi usually waited for him with eager eyes..his childlike voice telling him of his exploits made arjun want to scream out to the whole world how perfect his child was.. for madhav panchali and satya it was amusing as to how much he pampered the child ... arjun was conveniently deaf dumb and blind to any criticism of him being too much a doting father ... okay ill just go see him and tell him ... he wont wake said a quite voice...arjun swung around...what do u mean dhrish ?? what do you mean he wont wake ?? he has gone to sleep that knows no awakening said dhrish standing in front of him...arjuns heart refused to accept ... i will wake him up arjun said his voice desperate and chocked he always listens to me...yudhishtir walked toward arjun standing beside him said we tried our best arjun but we couldnt protect your son...he said placing his hand on his shoulder arjuns eyes blazed with anger none of them had ever seen shrugging off yudhishtirs hand arjun almost ran to the entrance...YOUR LYING he screamed ALL OF YOU , MY SON CANT BE KILLED IN A FAIR FIGHT he screamed he felt rather than saw madhav moving to his side ...they're not lying he whispered...arjun felt like someone had lit a fire beneath him...a fire which would neither burn him nor give him warmth..just cause him unbearable agony..his legs swayed madhavs protective arms grabbed hold of his waist preventing him from hitting the ground his cool arms trying to quench the fire consuming arjun...arjuns eyes fluttered he heard voices calling out to him in the distance a man saying sorry for all his mistakes a woman...panchali...just holding his hand in utter silence he could feel her fire mixing with his own...the musical tune of another woman..you cant leave me too said the voice of his dearest ... innocent subhadra..nakul and sahdev are bringing medicine bheem said ... madhavs arms still held me in a firm grip refusing to let go..his cool skin calming the fire burning him...madhav bent down ... placing a soft kiss on his forehead...the fire died out...and blackness surrounded the father of abhimanyu...
(a/n : arjun becomes unconscious in shock after hearing about abhis death...so i just gave a try to what would've gone around this characters head who i happen to find the most complicated character of mahabharat second only to krishna)
