The Fateful Evening Arjun Draupadi OS .. Thread 2 - Page 70

Arjun expressed his displeasure without mincing words." Why did you follow me not thinking of the rain? Luckily Sahadev took away Pragati otherwise she would have been struck here. On top of it you let the chariot go empty? Krishnaa sometimes you act on impulse."

Panchali got angry at his counter attack. She let go of her composure and fired." You should have councilled your daughter not to follow her wanderer father everywhere and anywhere.I prevented her but she insisted on pursuing you. I only asked Arya Sahadev to follow us on horseback.You and your daughter never let me be with peace."

Panchali tried to cover herself with her veil but in vain. She then took her long Pallu and rounded her shoulders with it. By then she started shivering and muttered under her breath." Two times heard Govind's nectar like Gita and Anugita. Still reluctant to leave his mother's lap.He Govind! You only should tackle him. I can't."

Arjun observed her state and approached her. He then pushed her back where the dry leaves are in heaps and did not let the water take over that place. Panchali tried to get herself out of his grip but he did not give in. The lightening brightened up the hut and Arjun stared at her lotus like face that made him wonder is there anything else more captivating?

The thunder and rain got intensified making Panchali regret obliging Pragati to follow him.

I should teach her sensible things now otherwise she is becoming uncontrollable.You are enough for me to test my patience but now Pragati? Your mother spoiled her a lot." Panchali grumbled.

Arjun did not say anything.He left her and gathered the dry leaves together and closed his eyes as if changing a prayer. The fire rose high making the hut pervaded by yellowish brightness.

Panchali side glanced her husband whose face is resplendent due to the power of Agneya mantras.

Arjun finished his evening Sandhya prayers and chanted Rudra mantras . The mrittika ling ( clay) made by him before the fire got worshipped by him with rain water.

Panchali felt an unknown feeling of peace and tranquility. She folded her hands and prayed." Govind let my husband reconcile with his mother's exile. He is shattered. I am helpless. I can't convince him at all. Be with your Parth."

Arjun observed the rain and said." May be within half an hour it will subside."

Panchali exclaimed." Half an hour? By now the dinner must be served. Pragati and your brother must have informed about us. Why didn't the chariot come yet? I am worried. "

Parth smiled and taunted." Now who look apprehensive tell me? You only not me."

Panchali retorted." It is because your Chitra will scrutinise our movements and she has this habit of saying anything on face.She will definitely ask why I followed you'

Arjun laughed throwing his head back. He teased her." Come on Yajnaseni.till how long you let Chitra corner you ? It is high time you stop Chitra or any one from taking advantage."

Panchali confronted him." What do you mean by that? What should I do?"

Arjun controlled his smile and stated." You should tell her that your love for me will dictate your movements and you can't help it."

Panchali's face turned red,She moved back and said." I am going."

Arjun clasped her waist from behind. He kissed her earlobe and whispered.' You don't know how you pull me out of my depressions. You rub your love and energy on me and make me forget my grievances. Don't stop quarrelling with me. I enjoy so much."

Panchali felt the warmth of his soul and body and closed her eyes. Arjun turned her to him and asked in his husky voice." Too chilled weather. Can I request my fire born to help me get her warmth into me? " Arjun hugged her closely and made Yajnaseni blush like his new bride.

the way ardi are behaving they are

remanding me initial days of their marriage

there cute nok jhok just loved it

and yes draupdi is right citra is super irritating always

jealous of draupdi and try to mock her

it's high time some teach a lesson to chitra also 😆😆

Nakul taunted Bheem." Bhrata, We are in Hastinapur. Not in the forest. Bhrata Arjun must have been waiting for the rain to subside.Panchali will safely return.Dont worry."

Sahadev assured Bheem." The chariot driver will start as soon as the downpour stops. Or else he will go and fetch them anyway."

Pragati felt bad. Due to her Zid her parents have to suffer in rain.

Subhadra softly councilled Pragati." Putri. Don't try to follow your father. He is a wanderer. He likes roaming. But your mother is struck unnecessarily. The weather is not good."

Ulupi Chitra who came there just then understood the situation.Chitra remembered the day at Indraprasth when they went to see the grand constructions of Maya. That time also it was Panchali who stayed back with him in the moonlight. She said in a low voice." She is lucky. See how chilled the weather is.opportunities fall in her lap to have good time with him."

Ulupi smiled and added." Nothing can compensate her separation and suffering Chitra.when she was the new bride with golden dreams he went away for twelve years. Then followed the dice game and forest life not to forget incognito. The war took away her sons, Abhi and Iravan. She is broken inside. I hope she will get time to spend with him and get solace."

Chitra bit her lip and pretended to hit Ulupi." Done for today. I hope he will return in time and let us enjoy the cool weather. " Ulupi laughed at her and pacified her." You also deserve his time. You hardly spent quality time with him. I will certainly help you in this regard."

Arjun helped Draupadi ascend the chariot. The rain still is severe but Arjun decided to get into the chariot that just came to fetch them.He got into that and made his wife sit properly. We will reach in half an hour since it is dark and downpour is there."

Panchali shivered with cold. Half of her hair is wet and she started sneezing.Arjun took her close and pushed her curls back He said sounding sincere." Now onwards refrain from following me .I promised you I won't leave you after Aswamedha was done. I will stand by my word."

Panchali smiled into his hazel eyes and pouted." I hope so" she said with confidence.

Arjun hugged her close and whispered." These are our cherished moments Krishnaa. Exclusively ours. None can claim right over them.Let us experience the ultimate bliss time and again. "

Panchali got down at her mansion,changed her garments and went to dining room. Her co wives are too curious to question her of her rain experience.

Subhadra asked with concern." Pragati landed you in trouble. I hope you are fine."

Panchali nodded her head and admitted." It was not planned.She instantly called the chariot and got into it. I was forced to follow her."

Ulupi expressed her relief." Thank god. You reached safe. Otherwise there is no respite from the rain and you have to spend night with inconvenience."

Chitra countered Ulupi" why should she feel inconvenient? She has the best of the Warriors at her disposal.He must have taken care." Panchali felt embarrassed and kept quiet.

Arjun entered then and became the centre of attention.Bhim scolded him,Nakul teased him but Yudhishtir advised him not to go on impulse as it may land him in trouble.

Arjun silently nodded his head and signalled Pragati to come nearer." Do you want to enjoy rain pour ? I will take you tomorrow." He said with a smile. Pragati jumped in glee while Panchali and Subhadra together protested " Don't spoil her that much"

uff chitra is so jealous

every time ullupi makes her understand

but I loved it every time she feels jealous of panchali

love the way arjun again make his krishnaa understand

that he will not break his promise and go away from her this time

An unexpected messenger came from Dwaraka and handed over a letter to Arjun and it is from his Madhav.Arjun went to his chamber,closed the doors and opened the letter. His vision blurred due to his tears and he let the tear drops fall down by closing his eyes.After a while he got back his composure and opened the letter. Krishna expressed his love and affection in his inimitable way." Attending duties. Staying with father trying to fulfill the expectations. Satya quarrels with me and says" You are not looking like your own self. You are just being here in body not in soul. You proved again. You love your Parth. You are a cheater." No amount of cajoling or pampering is working in my favour.

Heard that Kunti Bua is leaving with the old couple.Dont stop your mother. She should pursue her goal through detachment. It is essential.

Subhadra and Uttara with Parikshit will come to Dwaraka for a brief period. Father Vasudev wishes to bless his Abhimanyu's son.Make arrangements for their journey. Satyaki will escort them whenever you inform him.

After ten days Satya and myself come to attend her brother's marriage at Ahichatr. I want you to come over and spend quality time with us. Don't forget to bring Sakhi with you. Leave your inhibitions and let her enjoy with Satya,me and Ofcourse her Arjun. I don't think another opportunity will enable us to come together. May be for the last time...

Arjun's heart melted on reading the last line. Why is he saying so? Will every thing come to an end? He wondered.But how could he take Krishnaa away from Hastinapur? He has no clue at all.

Arjun reached Kunti's chamber as she she sent a message." What happened? Why did you call me? He asked.Kunti showed him another patr from Krishna." Subhadra and Uttara with Pari are starting in four days. Satyaki is on his way. Now send Pragati with them." She said.

Arjun knitted his eyebrows." She just returned from Kashi. Let her be here." He said. Kunti tried to explain." I want Pragati to be away when I go on exile. Try to understand."

Arjun stayed silent. Yes. It is better to send Pragati. She may not bear separation with her grandmother. Kunti ruffled his hair and said." Be bold Phalgun. Reconcile with life."

Arjun looked into her eyes and said in a low voice." Till now that only I did. You know lMaata.

Kunti avoided looking into his eyes. She knew the inherent meaning. She sighed and said." Gandhari Didi and me wish to take leave of your guru mata. Let Panchali also come with us."

Arjun got an idea. He can take his Krishnaa to his Madhav. Ahichatr is not far away from Gurukul."

Panchali observed him and asked." Why are you looking so different ? You look happy. Contented."

Arjun smiled and teased." Nothing can escape your scrutiny. What do you think is the reason?"

Panchali bit her lip and retorted." May be some admirer is coming to our city and you like her a lot.

As she finished her line Sahadev came and announced." Bhrata Alli Rani will reach in two days. She can not inform you before because of rains. She is coming with her son."

Arjun was in shock. Panchali teased him." So that must be the reason. Your Alli Rani is arriving. Arjun how happy you look . So anxious to meet her no?

Arjun did not answer. He has to attend on Alli but he has to honour his Madhav's word. He told himself. He will do both. Alli will stay for a shorter period only he knew it. After she leaves he can go to Madhav with his ...Krishnaa.
