At last the after 13th year's end at last Arjun came back to Dwarka. Everyone in Dwarka knew about that but None cared to send the news To Rochanagarbha who was busy in playing with Asanga. Arjun was in Dwarka gate where he was welcomed by the rain of flowers created by arrows of Abhimanyu. His heart was filled in with the pridehere in another part of Dwarka a 13 years old boy was hitting his target by arrows quite attentively, from a distance a 10 years old boy was watching him carefully. It looked like thee boy with arrows was trying to do something but is failing. His face was filled with disappointment yet determination. "Garbha bhrata calls other boy, "i think you are doing it all wrong""no Asanga, i had seen Abhi bhrata to follow these steps only while teaching Shrutakarma bhrata" says Garbha without removing eyes from arrow
"bhrata, why don't you ask Abhi bhrata himself to teach you this skill?" asked Asanga
"Because he thinks i am too small for advanced archery, he is more busy to teach karma bhrata" says garbha sadly.
"but what wrong if you practice with them?" asks Asanga
"Abhi bhrata says that he and karma bhrata and all other upapandav bhrata are going to take part in the war, where i am not going to take part. So there will be ample time for me to get trained later." sighs Garbha his voice was filled with pain.
" pitashree and all my bhrata too say the same thing to me, wish i could be few years older, then i could participate in war." says Asanga
" but you will see i am going to participate in the war, for sure." Rochanagarbha releases arrow by saying the word, the arrow gathered flowers from branches of tree and rained flowers over Asanga.
" seems you are going to be king" smiled he proudly , he looked same a teenager version of his father.
"bhrata both are impossible"laughs Asanga, "neither anyone will allow you to take part in war nor i am going to be king in ever my life,my pitashree is just a minor clan leader and i have 10 older brothers."
"situation changes, mata and mamashree always say that, to Satyama whenever she remembers pitashree. and i am sure that i am going to take part in war,however it is." says Rochanagarbha determinedly.
"okay will see bhrata, now wont you go to palace? Its late."
Asanga's question makes Rochanagarbha un mindful "i don't think anyone is waiting for me in palace,Satyama too is busy nowadays for some decorations, heard pitashree is coming soon."
"are you not waiting for your pitashree?" asks Asanga.
Asanga's question made Rochanagarbha thoughtful.from childhood he had heard about Arjun's valor,Arjun is like a hero but a distant one. All says brother Abhimanyu possesses father's skills. People seems to forget that he too is Arjun's son, he too cant think like that. Brother Abhimanyu is caring to him, but being away from father made Abhimanyu a responsible person, he behaves like not just a brother but as a father figure to Rochanagarbha, hence garbha cant become normal with Abhi, neither he gets time to spend with mother, neither as Abhi he gets Krishna's company, Satyama always says he looks like his father and then gets lost with memory of her friend and forgets about Rochanagarbha's existence in front her, so whatever garbha listens about Arjun from maids and commoners it seems a myth to him, he can't get to think about Arjun as father. So he doesn't know how he is going to face his father.
" i don't know Asanga if pitashree will recognize me, and then after meeting bhrata Abhimanyu will he have time for me? Bhrata will ofcourse talk about Karma bhrata before me, so i don't know if pitashree will even want to meet me" says Rochanagarbha in unsure tone.
"you two are here, and i am searching all over Dwarka" both the boys turned to the sweet girl around 11 who is looking dissatisfied with them."
"didi, see garbha bhrata is raining flowers to me."says Asanga. Bhrata show it to didi too."
Garbha nods and releases arrow before the girl could understand flowers were showered on her."
"sathi you like white flowers so i showered only white ones on you."smiled garbha
the girl Sathilekha is only daughter of Satyaki and elder to Asanga. She is also a friend to Asanga and Rochanagarbha. She smiles swetly
"yes Kumar, i can see you are becoming skilled archer day by day, tritiya pandav will be proud of you." says Sathi trying to be mature
"is it? I don't think i could aquire any such skill ever" garbha sounds unsure still.
"leave the discussion here, i need to collect some sea shells to make a beautiful garland for Charulata didi, (Krishna-Rukmini's daughter)i promised her before her marriage, hence i need to collect those, also Shashirekha didi (Balram's daughter) had asked for one long ago, she is coming to Dwarka i heard,also will make one for Sutanu didi (Yudhisthi-Draupadi's daughter), she is going to get married to Kumar Bhanu after the big war i heard, are you going to come with me" without waiting for answer the girl started walking to sea shore.
"wait Sathi don't go alone" Rochanagarbha followed her and Asanga too joined them.
