The fateful evening part 3

Part 6

Flash back to Indraprasth Royal palace at the time of Rajasuya

What will they talk continuously together ? Satya asked Panchali curiously. Panchali  is busy as usual managing hundred things at the same time. Added to her busy schedule sha has to look after the privileged guests of Hastinapur who arrived too early to Indraprasth.
Every one finished their dinner except Krishna Arjun who. Just came but started conversing at the entrance without bothering about others who are observing them keenly.

Panchali managed to sideglance and found both of them talking in low voices looking deep into each other..There seems to be no full stop to their..unending convo.
She desperately told Satya.. I can't guess. They were together since morning. Just returned from construction site. Still...
Duryothan asked the same question and Karna replied with a grim face.God only knows. What is there to talk that much? They know how to grab attention.

Duryothan wondered what could be the matter of their conversation .
Chitra asked Subhadra the same question. She said..Even for close friends I know there will be some moments private I mean but these two never desire others' company.
Subhadra replied. I don't know the topics of conversation.When in Dwaraka then also he spent more time with brother than me Satya Bhabhi always used to question.

Alli asked the question and Rekha looked at Ulupi expecting answer.Ulupi smilingly said. They were one soul different bodies.So that makes the difference.
Panchali sent Malini to call them inside. Krishna pulled Arjun and moved towards dining place. Look at your fireborn. If we don't eat immediately she will not spare us.Krishna told Arjun.

Arjun showed Satya Who is viewing them with suspicion.. Satya will invent a new reason for our delay. We should avert the damage.He said.
Drupad stopped them and asked..Don't you feel hungry Vaasudev! Arjun you are holding much work. You should eat in time.
Drona Who is listening remarked. Maharaj doesn't know The will power of my desciple. If he fixes his mind on something he won't rest till he achieve.
Drupad smirked and answered ..I am concerned about their well being. Ofcourse I have the right to do so.
Satya asked them as soon as they approached..Looks like Twenty four hours are not sufficient for you both to talk. What is so important that you stayed at the entrance and continued..

Arjun winked at Krishna and replied..How could we come inside and talk? Secrets should not be heard by people around us.Krishna laughed and agreed..Exactly. Parth. He confirmed.
Duryothan who heard the banter questioned pretending innocence.We want to hear your secret Keshav. If you don't mind.
Yudhishtir looked agitated and tried to cover up...Duryothan my brother..they both are playful. Don't take their words seriously..he said in his soft tone.

As if it is a matter of grave importance that Duryothan wants to know our topic of conversation..Arjun smirked sitting beside Krishna ..they are late as usual so they just started their meals away from every one ...Krishna smiled and nodded.

Arjun continued...What will he say if we ask him what all he and Karna are gossiping since we came inside? And the way they look at women..specially Dury and Dussasan ..I hate it Madhav..

Ignore them Parth..That which is not within their reach they covet it much more. Krishnaa and Subhadra have become their target..

Satya came with the maids and looked after the serving..She warned Arjun..See your Eldest. He is embarrassed because of you...He is bent upon winning Duryothana's good will . Just now he asked Panchali to serve them juice as they finished their lunch.. See Panchali's face..

Arjun became attentive. He saw his wife reluctantly move towards the place where Duryothan and his friends were sitting..
Malini is handling over the glasses but Dury and others are staring at Panchali Who is looking gorgeous in her sea green sari.
