The Fateful Evening part 2

Part 179

Arjun Arjun make it fast". We should reach before sunset.. Her husband's brother's voice reached her ears .. And she could not help but heave a sigh of relief..Panchali closed her eyes. She wanted to hear the call again..just one more time.
And her wish was granted.. Arjun.. Are you hearing me? Where are you with princess? Arju...n

Bhrata..Bheem we are nearer.. Just wait... Her husband's magnificent voice made her feel the thrill and brought a smile on her face.. The purpose of her birth was met with. She became Arjun's wife.her father's wish got fruitified and how?

She opened her eyes and there he is mischevously looking at the colours of her face. He is enjoying her expressions..
She did not get miffed..neither did she sulk.. She is happy..with excitement she smiled ..the smile that made him realise her love..for him..
They just stood silently looking at each other..
It was a moment of triumph..for both.
The honesty with which Drupad desired him for his unborn daughter..
The sincerity with which he tried to get a daughter who could be Arjun's wife..
Turned true.. Draupadi couldn't wait a moment..she just wish her father could know his truth.
She wanted to run back to Drupad.and see his face..
The dream like life ahead is waiting to overlap her.
How beautiful life will be with him.she can't imagine.
He understood her situation.. His whole conscience persuaded him to take her in his arms
and caress her ,he ardently wished to promise her that life with her is like a melodious song for him.
That he will fulfill her every desire and see her smile..always..forever..
But...Little did they both know
What is in store for them
It is not a song of delight.
It is lifelong pain..waiting for them..to take them under its spell.
Krishnaa...happy now ? He did not ask..she understood..and answered not in words.but
with a blissful smile..meant only for him..Arjun...Arjun...Bheem's voice again resounded.
Panchali teased him.. Got you... Arjun..
Arjun smiled back...Say it again..he cajoled..and she blushed..
Note: Drawing curtains down on the very brief phase enjoyed and lived to the fullest by the couple..
Will post the continuation shortly..

A new dawn,a new excitement a new experience...the residents of Gangateer ashram never felt all these feelings overcome them..like it happened..when they have the god they imagined woke up with them,smiled at them,and raised his hand in blessing..
They were spellbound on seeing the bluish skin,the lotus eyes showering kindness and the peacock feather swinging in rythym.They just forgot to blink their eyes ...with the fear of missing the bliss even for a minute.
Krishna understood their feelings and assured them..Please attend to your daily routine. I will stay here for a couple of days ...let no disturbance happen because of me.
Arjun teased him...They are having the good fortune of having Narayan before them...let them have their fill...
Ved Vyas smiled and said...Ofcourse Narayan with Nar is a delight to watch.. We should thank you Arjun He blessed our hermitage because of you.
Arjun folded his hands and quipped..That is another myth.. He may be Narayan...no he is Narayan but I am Nar not the so called Rishi but an ordinary Kuru prince..
Ved Vyas completed.. Kuru prince with extraordinary valour that complements the looks..making ordinary Nar an irresistible combination of both..
Arjun shrugged his shoulders and said.. It is his charm that spells magic..
Ved Vyas nodded his head and walked off to make arrangements for a special Abhishek for Mahadev Rudr... Yudhishtir thanked Krishna for his surprise visit.." You never cease to amaze me with your concern and kindness.. We are blessed.. He said..
As all of them attended the Abhishek the ashram surroundings looked charged up with high in volume chant of Rudra Namakam and chamakam.
The womenfolk waited for the men to come for breakfast in the widespread open place that was constructed just a day before to accommodate more people..
Rukmini helped Panchali in her work offering Bheem respite. Satyaa as usual started planning visits to nearby places... Chitra sighed with relief..she said." Now that you came we can expect nicer things like going on trips etc..
Alli agreed instantly.. Yes only you can mend our husband..he can't refuse our plans right now..
Subhadra asked " But he took us around..why are you saying so?
Rekha explained." Day before yesterday we thought of going towards that hilly slopes but he refused. That is why ...
Ulupi tried to defend Arjun...that time weather is not good. May be he did not want to take risk..
