Very Sweet story. I wish I could see that bundle of loveliness now...

"And Abhimanyu then touched my gandiv, and giggled, seems he liked it already" remarked Arjun proudly looking at his audience consisted of his brothers and sister in laws

After spending one month in Dwarka Arjun came back to Indraprastha leaving subhadra and Abhimanyu there. They will come back only after Abhimanyu completes a year that was ordered by brother Balram . Since the moment he arrived he has only topic to discuss and that is Abhimanyu, and how the baby has got along with his father and what Krishna is foretelling about how valorous he will become. The proud father has forgotten all his exhaustion of journey getting to talk about his son.

There was a worship of mother Gauri arranged in Indraprastha where married couples had to take Part its Arjun's year with Panchali, they are about to sit in worship so the wives of other Pandava brothers have reached to indraprastha, when Arjun was away for exile , Yudhisthir, Bheem and Nakul had married Devika, Valandhara and Karenumati respectively and after his return Sahadev got married to his cousin Vijaya , after Arjun he was second in their family to marry own maternal uncle's daughter, hence all of the 4 wives have gathered in the palace , Bhabishree Devika came with her son Youdheya, Bhabishree Valandhara also brought her son Sarvaga, both of them are now busy in playing with Prativindhya, Shatanik, Shrutosom and Shrutosen the four sons of Panchali from Arjun's four brothers, all of them were born when Arjun was in exile. Now along with her brothers her sister-in-laws too have joined the audience of Arjun's speech about his fatherly affection towards Abhimanyu.

Arjun didn't realize since he came back he didn't stop for a moment from describing experience of meeting and spending time with the new born , and this experience is not new to the audience. So, his description naturally was not as exciting to them as it was to him, Since Panchali was taking rest in her chamber due to tiredness, the responsibility of taking care of the six children was on Devika being wife of the King, making that an excuse Devika left the gathering, taking care of kitchen was Valandhara's responsibility in absence of Panchali as the wife of food lover Bheemsen so she found that a suitable excuse to leave too. Karenumati's pregnancy was in advanced stage, she was needed rest, and hence Nakul seek the permission from his elders to take her to his chamber and left. Sahadev was more interested to spend time with his newly wedded wife than listening to brother Arjun's chant about unseen Abhimanyu, so after few hours he too became restless and looked towards brother Yudhisthir, the elder brother understood the wish of youngest and granted it. In a context of having some important message from Madradesh Sahadev called Vijaya from room and left with her.

Arjun didn't simply notice any of the happening of his surroundings as he virtually was still living in Dwarka with Abhimanyu, Madhav and Subhadra. Now his audience consisted of only two of his elders. Who couldn't leave due to their affection towards this genius brother of them, Yudhisthir was noticing the bliss on Arjun's face and that made him happy knowing something or someone caused Arjun's truest happiness after many years and that was enough for him to stay there. Few more times passed , now Bheem started feeling impatient , he was feeling really hungry , couldn't get to eat anything after morning since Arjun stepped in palace and now its almost night , that was too much for him. From kitchen lucrative smells were coming, like Panchali , and himself Valandhara too mastered in culinary skill and that very skill of her made him taking interest in marrying her , so poor Vrikodar couldn't wait anymore.

"Arjun I think you should not make Panchali wait anymore , she is not keeping well these days" even in the state of uncontrollable appetite Bheem didn't forget about Panchali's health and he used that as the tool to stop Arjun at last.

"Bheem is right Arjun, even you should take rest, you didn't even freshen yourself since you reached" Yudhisthir was not aware of Panchali's health so he showed his concern about Arjun's state.

At last Arjun got aware of the circumstances, he felt ashamed for making everyone tired with his non stop talk, so he seeked permission from Yudhisthir and left hurriedly.

"why its feeling like Arjun is the first in the world to become the father?" remarked Bheem sarcastically looking at Arjun's disappearing figure.

" That's not the case Vrikodar, Arjun's eyes are telling something else. Abhimanyu is definitely someone not like other children, someone very special and so is the relationship of Arjun with him, we will not understand it right now. We need to wait" said Yudhisthir calmly. Bheem didn't dare to comment anymore and left silently.

Panchali was lying on bed putting the lights off. She didn't come out from her chamber after she entered here when arya Dhananjaya left for the courtroom with his brothers after she welcomed him. Since then she is waiting for him, and half of the day passed but Arjun didn't come.

"why does everytime Dhananjaya gets parted from me when I was about to spend time with him? After so many year I was about to spend a year for first time with him and at first he brought Subhadra between us and after merely six months he was again away from me for a whole month in the very year of mine with him, and now when I am waiting for him he is busy with his brothers", tear drops rolled from her eyes. But that too dried , she didn't tie her hair or did shringer, she was feeling too tired for that , she ordered maids not to allow anyone to come to disturb her and kept lying on the bed.

Arjun was quite shocked to see the room in darkness, he felt sorry for getting so late to meet Panchali. But what to do thought of Abhimanyu occupied him to the extent that he was tend to forget everything surrounding him. Now assuming Panchali is sleeping Arjun silently sits on the bed beside her. He keeps his hand on her forehead to check if there is any sign of fever ,but it was not there, he wonders why none except brother Bheem informed him about her sickness ,what kind of sickness it is?

Panchali was not sleeping ,she was only lost in her thoughts, the very touch of Arjun brought her back to the reality and getting aware of presence of her love near her , she got up hurriedly.

"No, Panchali, don't get up, you should take rest in such illness" says Arjuna with concerns in his voice

"my illness?" Panchali got confused "arya who told you that?"

"Brother Bheem informed me, but are you not sick?then why did you keep the room dark like this?" it was Arjun's turn to get confused

Panchali sighs "Arya Bheemsen always makes issue of nothing when the thing is about her" she thinks.

"arya you needn't worry , its only tiredness nothing else" says Panchali calmly

"is it?" Arjun got relaxed "but getting tired too is not a good sign" better I should inform the rajvaid Arjun was about to leave.

"No Arya" horrified Panchali held his hand tightly, she can't let him go again."Please sit arya" I have something to tell you" she bents her head in hesitation.

Arjun couldn't understand the reason of her this behavior but sits back. "what is it Panchali"?

"arya," smiles Panchali blushingly "actually arya Bheemsen was not wrong, my tiredness has a reason" even in darkness Arjun could trace her shyness.

"I am waiting Panchali, please don't keep me in darkness anymore" Arjun was getting impatient, he was feeling quite exhausted off late and was no mood for solving any puzzle rite now.

"you are going to be father arya, I am carrying your child" Panchali covers her face with her palms to hide her blush.

It took a moment or two for Arjun to realize the news as his head was already filled with lots of thoughts, and then his face broke with a broad grin. He removed the palms from Panchali's face, she still kept her eyes shut in shyness.

"Such a great news Panchali, I am going to be father again, so Abhimanyu is going to get a younger brother to listen to him after reaching here."

"Abhimanyu?" the unfamiliar name made Panchali opening her eyes.

"Abhimanyu, my son , Panchali, oh I am sorry I didn't tell you about him, you know what does madhav say about him?'..and he goes on and on about Abhimanyu

Panchali sighed , she couldn't figure out what did make Arjun more happy, getting a son from her or Subhadra's son Abhimanyu getting a younger brother from her?

Although even in that state same as Yudhisthir she too was able to guess the relation between this father and son was somewhat different.
