Lakshagriha Fire

||Priceless Love||

Arjun was surprised at this sudden gesture by Drupad.

“What are you trying to do?”,Drupad enquired in a high-pitched tone.

“I didn't get you,Sir?”,he asked quizzically.

Drupad bristled,“Don't you dare act innocent. I have understood your motive.”

Arjun at present couldn't really figure what was the old man saying to him,"I am not acting innocent nor even with a hidden motive..Please come clear."

Arjun expressions turned to stone by the sudden blame..

Drupad shrieked,“You are trying to woo my daughter at orders of your dear Sir or either having bad intentions about her!”

Arjun's expressions turned to stone at the sudden blame.

“Sir..Let's get this straight. Neither I or my Coach didn't knew your daughter existed..Yes I'm smitten by her but, that doesn't mean I have bad intentions about her..

and to be more precise, if any guy even has this kind of intentions about her, I will beat the shit out of him.”,he defended.

I am just so helpless..Forgive me ...Forgive me”,Drupad started walking hissing to himself before Arjun could pacify him.

Arjun just muttered to himself and sighed,“understandable!”

\At the swimming area\

Draupadi was stood on the edge of swimming pool, staring fixedly at the blue water with her arms folded.

“The rain finally stopped!”,Arjun vented, his voice deep and mellow.

Draupadi turned to him and groaned,“The thundering is still going on.”,staring back at the pool.Arjun smiled lazily at her.

There was a brief silence.

“You don't know how it feels like your house or property which you have earned by your hardwork to get divided..within few instances?”,Yagya vented out her emotions.

Arjun looked at her, who was still staring blankly down and smiled.

“Maybe!But do you know how it feels,when you're still treated like a outsider on you're own property or house..”,he sighed and replied.

Draupadi looked at him, eyes questioning,“Matlab?Why would someone feel like that in their own house?”

Arjun gave out a slight chuckle,“Some people do!I am one of them..My father died when we were kids, we used to live in a small village..But then we came to know that my brothers and I come from the prestigious ‘Kurus’..My father had a very crucial role, both in the house and company..

We met our cousins, grandfather, uncle&aunt..My brothers and I felt we finally got a family but it was our sheer misunderstanding..my cousins and sometimes even uncle aren't quite fond of us and have gone lengths to push us out of the house and family...”,he stopped, still staring fixedly at his reflection in the water.

Draupadi was still staring at him, all ears to his reply,“So why you still live there? Just because of the company or the property..?”,she questioned sternly.

“Not at all! We live there because of  love..the love of our grandfather Bhishma, he loves us more than anything, my uncle Vidur's strong supportive love..My aunt Gandhari loves each one of us equally.. and most importantly for our mother & father, they have only given love and sacrifices for the sake of this family...doesn't this priceless love counts? It does counts!! And that is why we're strong and alive because of this priceless love!”,Arjun said proudly and clearly.    

Draupadi just looked at him, blankly recollecting his each and every word
Immediately, turning away her head to wipe a lonely tear from her eye.

Arjun turned to her, she too looked at him and nodded smiling,“Someone told me, you should always focus on the light in the haunting dark and that light is priceless, selfless and sacrificial love...”

“You can stay here for few more days, there's a farmhouse nearby.”,she continued, awaiting his answer.

“If you want me to, I would definitely stay!”,Arjun replied calmly, but heart dancing in the love of rain..

Draupadi turned around and walked back to the bungalow, smiling to herself.
