PROLOGUE

Precisely thirty six years had passed since the Great War onthe battlegrounds of Kurukshetra. But today, the man behind the whole war, theman behind all the strategies and the man behind the situations that led to thewar sat underneath the Gulmohar tree, meditating and concentrating on theevents that his mind would now forsake, the future of not only Aryavrat butalso the many, many upcoming generations in the Yuga that was to follow. Justthen his sensitive ears caught the sound of the footfalls of the person that hewas waiting for to arrive. A contented smile erupted from his lips as he closedhis eyes and put on a serene expression. The ball of events was set rolling inmotion as an arrow struck his left leg. Blood oozed out from the deep wound,which would have caused excruciating pain to his mortal shell, had he not knownof what was to follow.

The hunter, Jara, who had mistaken' his left leg for a deercame running, excited as ever, to claim his prey but was astounded to see theYadav shreshth sitting under the tree, peaceful as ever, with his eyes closed,but blood was spread all around him and then he noticed his arrow, still stuckin Yadav shresth's left leg. A loud wail escaped his lips and he sat there onhis knees, beseeching forgiveness. A single look into the man's now open eyesmade him realize of the salvation he had achieved by making this earnest mistakeand thus Jara, now known to his past and the ultimate reason for thismistake', left the man alone after giving him a final glance.

Waiting to shed his mortal shell, the man, forsook thefuture. All those who had been wronged, everything that wasn't meant to be andhad happened-only to achieve the end of the Dwapar yuga, attaining freedom andthe win over evil-would now be amended. The wrongs would turn into rights andthe future would bring a new beginning for those whose journey's were about toend and those whose journey's had already ended, some as sufferers and some asheroes, and would attain a new beginning. The man's mind flooded with thoughtsof all such gallant persons as his mind housed all their memories. The wrongedwould be given justice while those who did the wrong would finally attain thepath of righteousness. As the lord himself took his last breaths in his mortalform, he mouthed two names, around which the new beginning would centre, thebeginning in an alternate universe, the beginning marked by their rebirths andthe beginning of Arjuna and Draupadi! With these two names on his lips, thelord himself, the lord Krishna, breathed his last on this earth and attainedhis true form deep within the oceans of heaven, only to be born again in thefuture, in the Kalyuga.

ARJUN AND DRAUPADI

These were the two lovers, who were separated bycircumstances only to be together after every four years, throughout their livesafter their marriage with each other. They were tested time and again, and eachtime they passed the tests that they were put through, only because of theirsilent and pure love for each other. The two lovers, whose souls were foreverjoined, attached with memories that were forgotten and then revived, but alsothe two lovers who could never be forever together, physically and would neverbe subjected to as a true couple, always prey to various perceptions andnotions, always termed as a mere pair, together, once in five years, in thepolyandrous marriage of Draupadi and the Pandavas. But what would have happenedif their love was given an actual chance, free from the barriers of polyandry?Would their love story also be an example of complete devotion and love toone's partner? But no, theirs is an as it is story of complicated and difficultlove, love that brought pain, sorrow, joy, sacrifices, understanding, passionand the importance of silent actions into their lives.

Thus, I present to you a modern take on how their storywould have been, free from all the clutches of their pasts, their past thatwould come to them but a story where their silence from their previous birthwould turn into determination to move on from the past and to make their lovesurvive in this alternate universe and then their ultimate rejoice in the powerof love, love that was once silent and always pure, in the future, in Kalyuga.

Hope you all like it!!!
