(5) AN AGONIZED ARRIVAL

Preparations sometimes prefer to be passive when the rage of the person in front turns out to be passion. Yes, rage also can be raised up to the level of passion. Some people existed and even exist till now too who has been pestering by their rages assuming that as their passions, even without realising their states of being pestered.

A royal is going to appear in this part of story who will justify these lines written above.

The royal is none other than the crown prince of Panchal, twin brother of Draupadi, Dhristadyumn. He was about to visit Dwarka to meet his nephews.

The arrival of Dhristadyumn was a matter of concern as he was not in a so cheerful mood after visiting his sister and brothers in law in forest. Dhristadyumn had visited them few days ago. He had gone there to seek Yudhishthir's approval for waging a war on Hastinapur to avenge his sister's insult, but Yudhishthir denied him.

Dhristadyumn returned being disappointed. Draupadi informed about that incident to Subhadra through a letter as Dhristadyumn shared his plan of visiting Dwarka with Draupadi.

After reaching at Dwarka Dhristadyumn received a heartily welcome which he reciprocated genuinely. Spending sometime with dau and Kanha he headed to meet his nephews.

"Greetings, Mamashri!" Boys told in chorus before bending down to touch his feet.

"I heard you had visited maa and pitashri. How are they?" Prativindhya asked in a slow paced tone as he knew the answer of his question.

"They are fine, and leading a quite peaceful life," Dhristadyumn couldn't resist to taunt the calmness of Pandav brothers after his proposal of war got rejected.

"Peaceful life! That means pitashri's anger isn't bothering him, right?" Sutsom expressed his concern about his father Bheem.

"Don't worry, Son. I don't think there's anything like anger in your pitashri's heart to bother him. I think his anger had vanished fully," Dhristadyumn tightened his jaw to control his anger.

"Mamashri, are you fine?" Prativindhya sensed the weird behaviour of his uncle.

"I am absolutely fine. By the way how is your practice going on?" Dhristadyumn enquired about the matter which was the reason of his visit.

"Our practice is going so well. We enjoy our practice hours so much," Shrutakarma replied getting responded with a surprised stare of his uncle.

"Mamashri, didn't you bring anything for us this time?" Shatanik's question made Dhristadyumn guilty somehow.

"Actually...... I was...... I was about to..... But......," Dhristadyumn was finding words to speak out.

"Don't feel anything, Mamashri. Your presence means us more than your presents," Shrutasen's told indicating his maturity inherited from his father Sahdev.

Dhristadyumn didn't chat with his nephews for much time due to his disappointment which he had exaggerated himself.

Next day Dhristadyumn went to observe the practice session of his nephews. Pradhyumna along with noted Yadav warriors were engaged in training them. Though Dhristadyumn didn't find any lack yet he wasn't satisfied.

"What's your opinion about the session, Yuvraj?" Pradyumn asked at the end of practice session.

"It's appreciable, Yuvraj, but it can be better," Dhristadyumn hinted about his dissatisfaction.

"It will be when we proceed to the advance level," Pradyumn didn't mind Dhristadyumn's comment.

"Princes are seeming quite relaxed while practicing. They should be serious towards their practice," Dhristadyumn started to voice out his opinion as his hint didn't work well.

"Calmness is inevitable during practice, Yuvraj. They are considerate about their learning in the way they should be," Pradyumn stated the fact simply.

"That wasn't my point. They aren't learning not only to be educated. They have a different goal which is to fight for their mother. You should consider this goal while training them," This time dissatisfaction was clearly evident in Dhristadyumn's gestures.

"We know about their goal of life, and we are making them ready as warriors unlike their fathers," Pradyumn was surprised over the reciprocation of his humbleness from Dhristadyumn.

"Unlike their fathers! So that they will also prefer peace and so called values of dharm over their mother's insult, just unlike their fathers!" Controlling his rage Dhristadyumn chose to leave the place.

Pradyumn was looking at the direction of his disappearance in bewilderment.

"I am apologizing on behalf of my uncle," A voice seeking attention made Pradyumn turn.

"You don't have to apologize, prince Prativindhya. Your uncle told what he felt," Pradyumn parted the folded hands of Prativindhya.

"That wasn't his feelings. That was the fall down of his feelings. Anger had agonized his senses. My uncle had hurt the genuine affection which we brothers got from you through your guidance. If nothing much then I can apologize at least as per decency," Prativindhya's politeness drew a smile of content over Pradyumn's face.

Pradyumn felt bad for the young boy who was feeling ashamed due to no reason. Pradhyumna admired the reflection of Yudhishthir in Prativindhya for some seconds.

"You too broke a rule of decency, Prince Prativindhya," Pradhyumna decided to lighten the vibes of air.

"What was that?" Prativindhya asked.

"You listened our conversation secretly. Isn't eavesdropping against of decency?" Pradhyumna's sweet insistence was received well by a smiling Prativindhya.

Both departed into palace side by side with smiles over their faces. Only politeness owns the power of overcoming any blockage before it turns out to be a big obstacle.
