In Hastinapur

In the scorching afternoon sun, Arjun was practicing archery in the garden. Their plan for Dwarka had postponed as their was a landslide on their way, not wanting to take any risk Kunti straight ordered Pandu to postpone their trip, and our poor Pandu had to obey his wife's command.

Arjun's bronze skin was glowing in the sun, his hazels shining brightly and his silky hair dancing on the rythmn of the mild breeze. Most of the maids were in the balcony near the garden drooling on the sight, creating a pool near their feet.

Covering his hazels with a black cloth he aimed the arrow towards a moving pot. The bells kept in the pot were making a soft jingling sound. With his eyes closed Arjun left the string of the bow, and the arrow swiftly cut off the air in path passing through the moving pot right in the middle.

"Bharatashree I guess you should marry your beloved gandiva" came the voice of Nakul.

As Sahadev quickly answered, " No No Nakul.... Bhratashree has already married his ganvida though unofficially. I think we should keep a grand reception saying....' RAJKUMAR ARJUN MARRIES GANDIVA'..." Saying so both Madrinandans started laughing.

Arjun shook his head, he had never been attracted to any girl... But only if the world knew the real fact that he had never been attracted to any girl except her.

Arjun removed the cloth covering his eyes and gave the twins a sharp glare shutting their mouths. "Are you both monkeys here to plan my reception?... If yes then just quietly exit " he said annoyingly.

Nakul twisted his lips and said , " As if we have no other works to do." Sahadev added " Bhrata we are here to give mata's message, she said she wants to meet you."

"What? When did they come back?? Anyway Let's go."
Saying so he picked his bow and walked out of the arena.

IN PRIVATE DISCUSSION CHAMBER

Kunti, Madri and Pandu were sitting on the royal couches, when Arjun entered.
"You called me mata?" asked Arjun gently.

"Yes Arjun, wait for others then I'll tell you the reason" replied Kunti.

Arjun nodded, though unconvinced, his parents never arranged an internal meet except when it was very important. "What the important work must be?" He thought.

Soon the other Pandavas, Devika, Valandhara, Dritrashtra, Gandhri, Mahamahim Bhisma, Vidura, Bhanumati and the troublesome gang entered. Not forget Karn, Duryodhan, Dussasan, and the great ultra legend who lived or better to say lives in his sister's house though he himself has a kingdom to handle, were the members of the gang.

(P.S: Do I need to mention who the great legend was? :p :p)

Bheem and Nakul rolled their eyes seeing the gang enter, cursing why the hell these mental patients are her. Before all of them could get themselves comfortable our ever impatient Nakul popped in shouting, " Mata why are all are gathered here?"
