At Duryodhan's chamber

Bheem stayed with Duryodhan in his chamber as the Royal Vaidik(doctor) delayed purposely on Meena's request.Though it was just a petty wound for the warrior Duryodhan and even Bheem too would stand by that statement,he decided to stay with his then foe cousin but now,he didn't know..how to name this undescribable feelings he had for Duryodhan.Currently it was an anonymous alliance for Bheem.

He unwillingly put a reluctant face on outside showing fake zero interest as he was still clear as mud on whether to give him a chance or not and was almost on the verge of trusting him but something was pulling him back.

Though his heart pacified him over his guilty thought of betraying his second eldest by helping Duryodhan on a scale of 99%,the rest 1%constantly reminded him of Duryodhan's past unimaginable evil acts.It maybe just a one percent but still it bothered him heavily.

Duryodhan and Bheem exchanged silent glances in their helpless state as they were solitared physically in their seating under the same roof,but their hearts were quite progressively souling together.

Duryodhan breaking the silence:Bheem it's okay,I'm fine ...you can leave now,you brothers must be searching you(he said with a short smile)...

Bheem:I'll leave once the Vaidik comes(he said trying to look away).

Duryodhan with a genuine smile:Bheem,thanks for the help...I'm very much overwhelmed and also endlessly happy today.

Bheem not knowing how to respond on this unexpected statement said with a straight face:I would have done this for anyone,so don't take anything personally....and also you only saved me earlier,so I was just returning what you offered.

Now immediately Bheem mentally cursed himself for making such a stupid statement..his heart knew that he was literally worried for him,but he was cautious enough not to give him any hint that he was developing a soft corner for him unaware.

Duryodhan again with a smile:I'm still happy..

Bheem shrinked his brows...

Duryodhan:Atleast you decided to return help,even that takes some change of heart,...(he said moving towards him)...

Now as he approached Bheem, Bheem was so antsy thinking that these authentic words of Duryodhan should not make him fall for him.So he settled on a decision to leave,because each passing minute would be a emotional threat for him.

Bheem:I would like to take a leave Rajkumar, meet you some other time(he said formally as he made a move).

Duryodhan was quick to notice his Philophobia of brotherhood,but he was just contented with the fact that even when he feared,he was taking baby steps towards their relationship.

Bheem reached the door,when Duryodhan sensing his fear said,"Don't worry Bheem,I would never force my love and relationship upon you..I'm just glad that we grew from nothing to something..take your own time,I will wait(he said with an ensuring smile).

Bheem for some reason kept feeling that he was not faking it at all,he stood there taking a deep sigh when Duryodhan made an impromptu move..he hugged Bheem a little formally,a startled Bheem didn't deny the hug,but didn't give it back too..he was just statued there.

he was just statued there
