Game of dice 🎲

Everyone from Kauravas side assembled in a large room to play the game of dice. A big Board was placed on the table. karna and bhanumati sat on opposite sides and on the other side sat subhadra and dhuryodhana opposite to each other .

Kauravas were sitting around them . Karna and bhanumati were playing the game while some were watching the game curiously and others were talking to each other and cracking jokes .

Subhadra's gaze was fixed on her husband . His handsome face , cute expressions that he made while teasing bhanumati and his beautiful smile , she was captivated by all this . When bhanumati saw her looking at karna without even blinking , she snapped her fingers infront of subhadra's face which made her come back from her trance . Everyone laughed at this , she looked embarassed . Bhanumati took this opportunity to tease her . When karna understood the reason for everyone's laughter he felt extremely happy , he was waiting to get her in private .

After about half prahar they stopped playing as it was time for lunch . Everyone got up and were leaving the room towards dining hall. Karna, subhadra , bhanumati and dhuryodhana were moving in front while others were just behind them .
On their way they saw pandavas standing there blocking their way.

They now stood before them . Everyone had a confused reaction seeing them . Subhadra was standing close to karna . She looked at her husbands face , the smile which was plastered on his face until then was now replaced with worried look .

Yudhisthira spoke "subhadra , we need to talk to you alone .Please come with us . let's move to a little distance from others "

Subhadra was thinking about why they were trying to talk to her , that too alone . All this time she tried to avoid them but now they wants to talk to her.

Karna said " If you want to talk, you can talk here "

Duryodhana joined karna saying " yeah , she will not come anywhere with you people . If you want to talk, you can talk here when we all can listen otherwise you can leave "

Subhadra whispered in Duryodhana's ear saying " please..... , I will listen to what they want to say and tell you later ."

Duryodhana wanted to say no but subhadra made made some cute expressions asking him to agree and he couldn't deny her request . Since Duryodhana agreed Kauravas and bhanumati didn't say anything . Then she looked at her husband , she didn't say anything but her eyes spoke and karna understood her . He gave a nod , she smiled and went with Pandavas .

They stood at distance from Kauravas such that Kauravas could see them but not hear them talking. subhadra's back was facing Kauravas , while they could see Pandavas .

Arjuna was holding something in his hand. He opened his palm facing up showing a pair of anklet .

He said "subhadra , This beautiful anklet has rare gems attached to it . I got this for you ".

Subhadra thought they were trying to give her gift and ask for her forgiveness for trying to abduct her . She didn't want to keep the awkwardness between them , afterall they were her cousins . She was also avoiding her aunt who she thought had no involvement in any of their plans . She wanted to make things to become normal and talk to her aunt kunti like before as they both were avoiding each other. subhadra was ready to forgive them so she took the anklet from him .

Arjuna spoke " subhadra, I'm sorry that I was not able to save you from that suta .I know he is forcing you to act like you love him . You are married to him , but I'm still ready to accept you as my wife . I can save you from him . I still love you . You know I have not let my other wives stay with me but I will make an exception for you , you can stay with me . I will make draupadi understand . my love for you is special , it makes me do anything for you . Just say yes and we will marry tommorow Itself and we will go to Indraprastha "
