It was a bright day the silver palace of Dwaraka decked with emeralds emitted golden light .Satyaki stood at the entrance and viewed entire palace a midst the hustle and bustle of Yadavas who were excited."The grandeur of this after wedding ceremony should surpass the festival of Raivatika organised by Akrura."
Away from the pomp among the saughandhika flowers of Prabhasavana sat Satyabhama who was tying the bow string of her self carved bow.She began tying the string beyond the fletching at the nock.
A small hand held her arm it was Bhanuman (satyabhama's son) and charumati (Rukmini's daughter) followed him...
She looked at both of them and caressed Charumati's head.Bhanuman said "I am hungry but none pay heed to me so is sister charu "
Satya gave a serious look followed by that of dismissal to all her maids.
One of the maid exclaimed "Strangely her highness Satyabhama hasnt spoken a word since the news of Madhusudhana 's wedding with Mitravinda has been announced"
"This is the silence before the storm" said satya's hair dresser.
Satyaki left no stone unturned to make the post wedding ceremony a grand success.He was very well acquainted by the fact that in Satyabhama's absence Keshava would dismiss the ceremony.
Satyaki tried all possible things from queen Rukmini to charumati everyone tried to convince her but she hasn't spoken a word.
The sounds of trumpets and drums echoed in the entire palace.
The grand marriage procession advanced towards gates of Dwarka and was headed by a mighty tall and dark warrior in white robes.A smile of amusement was seen on Satyaki's face.He quickly went ahead and acknowledged the warrior "Welcome kaunteya Arjuna"
The mighty Dhananjaya gave a know it all smile held Satyaki's arm and advanced towards Prabhasavana.
Few steps away from Satya who was loathing on an obvious reason stood Dhananjaya nd Satyaki..
Arjuna said in a loud tone "Satyaki It was tiring Swayamwara .My aunt Rajadhidevi(mother of Mitravinda) is a perfect host .
Satyaki looked confused .He kept looking at Arjuna.
"My sister Mitravinda is a beautiful girl .She is a master of all arts and weapons."
"Madhava is very much impressed and adores her"
Satya remained calm.
"Yuyudhana all I am trying to say is I cursed my destiny for not meeting her before .She is a master of all arts and weapons. It is quite rare to have such women."
"The best quality of hers which I admire the most is her simplicity .I am glad I finally found a companion who is more like me and can understand me"
Satya for once took up sword nearby and advanced towards Arjuna
She held her head high and said" Prince Arjuna you will breathe your last breath the moment you would dare to give my place to any other woman" placing the sword on his neck.
Arjuna gave a petrified expression.
He questioned "Her highness could you please revel your identity I donot know you .I am searching for my friend Satya could you please help me in finding her she is quite popular mostly because she lashes my cousin Madhava
When ever he ties a wedding knot"
"Respected lady seems you know me so let me tell you she acknowledges me as phalguni .She is a warrior princess and if you find her please convey a message ."
Satya put down the sword and gave a questioning look..
Arjuna continued writing on parchment which read " O slayer of demon Narakasura the beloved wife of Varshineya Sauri you are much more alluring than elegant queen of Indraprastha Paanchali ."
Satyabhama grabbed the parchment from his hand and had a smile after reading it.
" I am glad my wish of being acknowledged so has been fulfilled after ages".
Arjuna said "I actually forgot to mention apparently my friend Satya is a stooge and do also tell her that this friend of Mitravinda will organize a special ceremony for the later in Dwaraka"
Satya caught Arjuna's ear and said " I will make sure this friend of Mitravinda will repent for getting such thoughts in first place"
Arjuna gave a pleading expression and took up the self carved bow of Satya and tied the string below the fletching above the nock.
Satya bit her tongue and said "I am better than you in archery Phalguni"
Satyaki breathe a sigh of relief and thought "Only Arjuna can convince Satya no wonder she adores him so much .Their friendship is unique."
Meanwhile Arjuna narrated the sequences of Swayamwara and said " Though my brothers I wanted to slay Anuvinda for insulting Keshava we battled the Army of Avanti but Madhava stopped me from Slaying Anuvinda asking me to wait for right time"
Satya heard him talk.
Meanwhile Madhava entered the garden .Looking at Madhava Arjuna suddenly said "Satya seems your beloved husband is enticed by Mitravinda in our journey back to Dwaraka from Avanti he said Mitravinda that she has beautiful eyes also he promised to name one of her son's Harsha as a token of appreciation to her ever smiling nature.
Satya fumed and looked at Achyuta.
Paartha winked looking at Madhava went near him and said " You are my mentor Keshava .I finally won ."
Madhava said " Paartha Satyaki and Uddhava are having a verbal duel for us .You better solve it"
Paartha nodded a yes and took leave.
Madhava held the parchment with Paarth's writing and smiled at his victory.
Happy friendship day To all the members of Mahabharath forum..
