CHAPTER-21
WHICH WAY BETTER, DESTINY OR WILL?
"What a news we got, Bhrata? Haan!" Nakul said punching Arjun's arms.
" Shut up please!"
" Now why are you telling us to shut, Bhai??" Sahadev said with a glint of naughtiness in his eyes.
" Now is this my fault that Maharaj Drupad begot a daughter for me?" Arjun said with irrtation.
" Surely it's not your fault, my Anuj! But this this news is surely a Pandora box for us!!" Bheem said laughing. And the twins high-fived.
" Bhratashri, remember all your life long pranks, and pray to Mahadev!!"
" What the!!" Arjun's mouth was opened.
" Bhai, shut your mouth, flies will enter!!" Sahadev exclaimed. And Arjun immediately shut his mouth to save from further teasings.
" Okay, we should give this news to Mata as quick as possible! Hain na!" Nakul winked.
" No no no! Don't tell it to Mata! She'll get over excited and end up revealing our disguise. You know Mata; how she'a after me for my marriage. And if she end up doing something wrong, Jyeshth will blame me. So better not tell her!!"
" Okay okay we'll not say anything to her."
" We should as soon as possible go from here."
" Stop talking and let's go from here!"
" Okay..." Nakul and bheem said in chorus and stopped. Sahadev nodded his head seeing his brother's follishness saying, " Bhai, what a fool you are!!"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" Okay, Nilanjana, you tell me, what do you think, will raajkumar Arjun come? Draupadi asked while swinging in the swing to Nilanjana who is making flower garlands.
" But why are you thinking about him? Didn't Maharaj said you'll marry to Parth? "
" But who is Parth?"
" Who knows?" Nilanjana gave a sheepish smile.
" You know, you all are conspiring!! Tell na, who is he?"
" Maybe any big warrior! Who knows!"
" Uffo! Again same dialogue! This is frustrating!!!"
" Wait is the biggest medicine. Just wait..." Nilanjana winked.
" Now what is left to do!!" Draupadi sighed thinking who could be the person...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" Mata! We are home!" The five brothers came together. Yudhishtira later joined the four brothers.
" Why you all are late!"
" Mata, I went for Sandhya snaan. When I was coming back, I saw letter written by Parth. That's why I came with them."
" And what about you four? Did you all fogot home seeing again comedy of any joker?"
" No no Mata! This time it was a messenger!" Bheem said proudly thinking that maybe Kunti will forgive them.
" Hm... So which type of messege you all got? Haan? Let me listen also!" Kunti pulled Bheem and nakul's ears with her two hands.
" Fooling your mother! And Parht , didn't I tell you to bring them back quickly?"
" Mata, the the thing is... that..woh..." Arjun stammered and scrated his head sensing his mistake.
"Mata, we are not fooling you! Can we dare it! The news was such!"Sahadev answered.
" What was the news now?"
" Umm... News of swayamvara..." Sahadev replied.
" Whose Swayamvara?"
" Umm.. Panchal Kumari Draupadi's Swayamvara..." Bheem said.
" And you know Mata, that Raj..." Sahadev was about spill the beans, but Arjun hold him.
" Shadev, no! Don't you remember what I said! Why do you want to kill me! Arjun whispered.
" Okay, okay, I'm not telling..."
" Swayamvara means danger for us, Putron!"
"But why, Mata?" Yudhishtira asked.
" I'm saying it because many kings will now come. If Duryodhan comes, then he'll surly recognize all of us. If Madra Raaj Shalya comes, then he'll recognize Nakul and Sahadev. And if Krishna or Balarama comes, the he'll recognize me. And we can't let it do. So Putron, did you understand me? We need to go from here as quick as possible."
" Sure, Mata. You are right. We should go from here quickly."
" It seems it still have time as it's not revealed or declared publicly as of now. There are only rumors. So we can surely stay for some more time. " Sahadev said.
" Yes, your're right, Sahadev. We can go after declaration or before arrival of Kings and Princes."
" Till then we can choose place to go."
" So okay for now." The four pandavs and Kunti discussed in themselves. But Arjun did not utter a word. He was in confusion and dilemma. Where to stay and where to go! Which is destination? He knew, Destiny can't be defeated, but what to do now except wait and see the unique play of destiny! Did he know what was to happen now?
TBC...
Okay... a very very happy new year to all of you!!!!🥳
