The Fateful Evening Arjun Draupadi OS .. Thread 2 - Page 51

Arjun should take care of her

Now again she has to take yajna Diksha with Eldest for Aswamedha. Till he returns with the horse his Krishnaa should follow rigid rules in diet and survive. He remembered how hard it was for her during Rajasuya.Then she had her sons, Abhi and Kirti by her side. Now she has none except Pragati and Pari. Panchali felt his looks on her and raised her head.She knew this togetherness is short lived. He will go for treasure.

Arjun lied back and made her lie on his heart. He is silent.He just hugged her and closed his eyes.

Will he ever be able to do justice to her by being with her sharing her joys and sufferings? His destiny will never let him be.Her wait for him looks endless ..Madhav says they have to bear with destiny as they came to the earth for a special purpose.

Panchali broke the silence and asked." How is my Indraprasth?"

Arjun placed her properly beside him and turned to her." Exactly as we left it. They maintained it so well. Duryothan never visited I was told.

Panchali's face bore a sad expression. For what purpose Duryothan did so much and lost his life and became the cause of destruction. The terrible war swept away her sons,Abhi, her father...

Arjun understood what is going on in her mind.He shook her shoulder and bent nearer." You know some one asked me why I did not bring you there.Panchali questioned him with her lotus eyes.

The jasmines and our jhoola. Arjun admitted.

Panchali could not understand first but when she did her face turned red.Arjun savoured the beauty of her face and felt elated.

Panchali tried to avoid his gaze and asked." What did Govind instruct you there?

Arjun replied straightly." The reality of life and death"

Draupadi asked" You are too lucky to hear his discourses How did you feel then?

Arjun admitted" I felt like running away from every one.

I just want to meditate and lead ascetic life.

Panchali ran her hand in his thick curly hair and looked into his hazel eyes.l

Then why did you come back? She asked .

Arjun smiled in his charming way and answered." Actually I decided to go to Gandhamadhan and Badarivan.Sage Narad said me and Krishna had our ashram there in our previous birth.I want to continue my penance.But I heard my Krishnaa's voice within my heart asking me not to leave her

Panchali turned away from him and said." I know you are a liar. You came back not because of Krishnaa but because of Krishna. He is the one who brought you back"

Arjun turned her to him and confessed." Believe it or not. I can never leave you and pursue my path. I know you came to this world for me. Then how could I be selfish and pursue my destination? I know you have to bear so much stress now for Aswamedha I feel for you Krishnaa

Panchali looked at him defiantly" Panchali and stress go with each other. Nothing new. Arjun your Eldest asked you not to kill any one not to take army help. How would you be able to do that?

I feel he expects too much Arjun "

Arjun laughed heartfully. Her concern for him always turns the tide against Eldest.He tried to explain" Eldest is right. We can't afford loss of lives now.We should try and achieve our purpose without bloodshed. Don't you have confidence in me? He questioned.

Panchali got up and folded her hands." Rajkumar Arjun bear with my imprudence. How could Dharmaraj Yudhishtir ever be wrong? Another opportunity to prove your loyalty. Go ahead.

Arjun pulled her back to him and pressed her on his heart." Years passed. But my fireborn never changes.See how beautiful you look in anger.He caressed her curly locks lovingly.

Panchali bit her lip and muttered" So clever and smart. Change the topic when no answer is there.

Arjun could not control his laugher and enjoyed the warmth of his Krishnaa's love.

after long time they are together

spending there time

Yudhishtir is reluctant." Hastinapur's treasury is empty. The war took away all the wealth and prosperity.Now we have to endeavour rigorously. Is it right to use Brahmin's gold? He looked at Krishna for answer.

Krishna did not mince his words." That is the best way to get the treasury filled up.Otherwise Vedvyas would never have advised you to bring that."

Ved Vyas folded his hands." I am blessed to hear such words from you" he said.

Bheema looked at Dhritarashtra and fumed." Eldest! Duryothan is the root cause of our sufferings. He lavishly spent everything including that which was collected by Arjun during our Rajasuya.He is a fool not to think of the future of Hastinapur"

Dhritarashtr's face became pale.He clutched his fingers on to the handle of his Asan. Yudhishtir looked at him with a worried face.He knew Bheem won't leave a chance to cause pain to Dhritarashtr by blaming Duryothan.

Arjun walked to Bheema and placed his hand on his shoulder." Bhrata Bheem Leave the old achievements. We should yearn for new ones.How exciting it is to go to snowy peaks and bring gold right under the nose of Yakshas and supernatural elements.If Duryothan left the treasury full we would have missed the adventure.Let us do it together ."

Bheem patted Arjun and hugged him." I will always be with you since birth. History never forget to take our names together Arjun as Maharaj Pandu's two invincible warrior sons. Tell me when to start."

Krishna smiled at Arjun. His Parth will win hearts just with his charm.He suddenly turned his eyes to Draupadi who is endearingly looking at her Arjun's winning ways.He stood and asked " Shall we fix the day to start for treasure may be day after tomorrow?" So saying he sideglanced Draupadi who fixed her looks on his face as if indicating her feelings.

Krishna smiled mischievously and pulled Arjun to him" Parth make your preparations I will start for Dwaraka and you for Himalayas.But don't go to Badarivan. We will go together I promise."

Ved Vyas raised his hand and sought attention." Yudhishtir! We will start after fifteen days on Panchami day.Arjun make preparations. We need sixty thousand camels thousand chariots Five thousand elephants . You need fifteen days to make preparations.I hope you will finish by that time.

Arjun admitted." I need ten days. Enough for me.If you want to start early.

Draupadi bit her lower lip."Great. Always on the move. Go wander over the snowy peaks. She muttered under her breath. Krishna smiled and declared." Let us start on the day fixed by Vyasa.not before not later."

At dinner the discussions continued further. Arjun already started his planning.His confidential officers are present even at dinner seriously listening to his instructions.

Satya expressed her displeasure before Krishna" Swami still fifteen days are there. Why is your Parth into it already? Let us go to Brindavan first."

Krishna was in shock." Satya Dear? Let us go somewhere else.Not Brindavan."

Satya looked at his serious face and looked at Draupadi who warned her with her eyes not to argue on Brindavan

Krishna observed Satya and smiled his winning smile." Satya dear I will take you to such a place which is more beautiful than Brindavan.Is it fine with you?He asked.

Before Satya could answer Arjun came and took a sweet from Krishna's Thali.

Krishna alerted Draupadi." See your husband is too hungry.Serve him now."

Draupadi arranged a Thali and said." When are you leaving? Day after tomorrow? I have to look after your things that is why asking.

Arjun laughed uncontrollable and got tears in his eyes.

poor ardi can't spend time with each other
