The Fateful Evening part 2

Part 184

Suka stopped narration as he thought it is time to disperse and take rest. Arjun nodded his head and he got up to leave.
Pari who is on Arjun:s lap looked up into Arjun:s eyes and protested.we did not reach the actual part yet..let the story continue..
Arjun stood up taking him in his arms like he is a baby. Pari placed his head on his shoulder and  sneezed. Suka assured him.I will continue tomorrow...till the end..now take rest..
Krishna and Arjun walked towards Uttara's hut..
Pari whispered in Arjun:s ear. Pitamah I also wish to get a Devine bow like Gandiv..

Arjun placed him on his bed and touched his forehead. ;Pari now don't think too much. Close your eyes and sleep well.First get well and then you could try your best for everything you want.
He signalled Uttara and walked out where Krishna waited for him. As they both walked towards the mango grove Satya called out : Don't spend the night at Ganga teer .
Krishna waved his hand while Arjun folded his hands towards Satya.
Arjun said Madhav when those events happened I did not understand the significance. Now I understood the hidden plan. Your plan behind everything. Khandav dahan happened to establish Indraprasth but it is too significant since Gandiv came into my life..
Krishna smiled " Ofcourse Parth Without Gandiv you can not exhibit your skills in archery like you did with Gandiv.
Arjun nodded " Krishnaa says I love Gandiv more than any of my wives including herself,
Krishna laughed, Sakhi is too possessive Parth,But your Gandiv entered just when she also was there with you. I still remember how proud she was when we returned triumphant after Khandav dahan.
Arjun Krishna reminisces
Five days passed since they camped at Khandava forest, Two times Krishna and Arjun went for hunting and returned in the evening.
The fifth night all six of them sat round the campfire..
Subhadra looked at the fire flame and said. I feel the fire is looking dull. There is no splendour.Why.
Satya retorted. Subhadra  I see no difference. How could you feel so.
Krishna appreciated Subhadra " Bhadra you are right. Even I feel so.
Panchali asked with surpriseWhat does it mean Govind,
Kalindi pleaded with Krishna Swami please answer the question.
Arjun shrugged his shoulders If Sahadev is here he would predict something like a big battle ahead he joked.
Krishna looked into his eyes and said Who knows. It may be true.
Arjun winked at him  You Want to scare them .
Satya confronted him Who are scared. We...never.. We are not that week. Panchali your husband insulted  us.
Panchali smiled and assured. None can underestimate your bravery Satya. Don't go by his words.

Agnidev moved back seeing Arjun and others disperse to their camps. He was in the guise of a Brahmin ..he approached the camp site on the banks of Yamuna in sheer darkness.
He overheard the conversations and first time ever observed Krishna and Arjun who are with their wives round the campfire. The fun,the humour,the jovial interactions done by the two friends threw him in confusion.
Is Narada mocking him by suggesting these two as his protectors.."He seriously doubted Narada's intention.
He just moved back into the dark era space when he saw Arjun escorting Subhadra into her chamber She is the one who found out the lustre of him dull and pale.
Arjun is holding her waist and walking inside...Is this Indra's son famous for his valour?he wondered.""

Agnidev walked out of that place with dilemma. He is sick. He should make a decision whether to seek help or not.

You think we are afraid of battles". Panchali crossed him as he is passionately involved in exploring her beauty. Arjun smiled and bent down to kiss the mole on her lip.
Panchali turned her face away and demanded " Answer my question. Why did you say so"
Arjun pretended innocence. I did not remember saying any such thing. I swear I never feel that way.
Panchali looked at him desparately. She muttered under her breath "liar you only said so...
Arjun loved her expression and kissed her passionately. Let us discuss this tomorrow. Queen, is this the time for such things ...Panchali closed her eyes in anticipation...awaiting the bliss ..Arjun whispered " That is like a good wife..
