(7) DELIGHT AFTER DUEL

Proving something is like an initiation which needs involvement of both sides, the one who is initiator, and the one who is going to be inspired by that. Realisation isn't an one sided phenomenon. The one who takes action towards that should be reciprocated by the other one. Subhadra and Pradyumn had initiated the process which would be fruitful only if Dhristhadyumn proceeded with that process, that too in a right track.

Pradyumn and Dhristhadyumn were standing opposite to each other for the duel. Seeking each others permission through eyes they started the duel. Both were efficient in handling the moves of their opposition. Subhadra along with her nephews and sons of Draupadi was present at the arena.

Amidst the continuation of duel suddenly the sword of Dhristhadyumn broke down, and he lost the duel to Pradyumn.

"How it can be possible? It's my personal sword. I take care of it myself. How could it break down betraying all my care?" Dhristhadyumn was so astonished over the result at his front.

"It didn't betray you, Yuvraj. It supported you till it's end. More than care towards this sword you had given priority to the sharpness of anger in your heart. You had sharpened it till the last extent. That was why it  broke down," Pradyumn explained the actual reason making Dhristhadyumn silent.

"Excess of anything will be ended like this, Yuraj. Do you want this same thing to happen with your nephews? Revenge is nothing except the extremity of evilness. It can't be a mean of empowerment," Subhadra came forward to accomplish the motive of duel through her words.

"I have understood my mistake. Thanks to both of you for correcting my misconception. Please forgive this enraged brother who had lost his intellectual to his sister's insult," Dhristhadyumn joined his hands to apologize.

"You don't have to ask forgiveness, Yuraj. Your reaction was all obvious, and you responded to the situation the best with your own parameters of decency," Subhadra's assurance eased the situation for Dhristhadyumn.

"By the way how did you get this way to prove your words to me?" Dhristhadyumn's curiosity questioned the duo.

"You were taking out your sword slightly off your sword holder occasionally during our conversation. Bua maa had noticed the excess sharpness of your sword at that time. Then she gestured me about this plan at that time," Pradyumn replied praising Subhadra through his stares.

"I have this habit of playing with my sword when I feel raged during any conversations," An embarrassed Dhristhadyumn smiled slightly.

"Even Krishna adviced me many times to leave this habit, but I couldn't. She used to say this habit could trap me someday, and today her words also turned out as true, but in a good way," Dhristhadyumn's smile adopted the shade of reminiscence while mentioning his beloved sister, Draupadi.

"I must appreciate your sharp observation, Princess Subhadra, and Yuraj Pradyumn is also an expert to cooperate this skill of yours," Dhristhadyumn complimented Subhadra and Pradyumn exchanging smiles with them.

"Let's go inside, Yuraj. Before leaving Dwarka let us please you with our hospitality," Pradyumn urged.

"Yes, this chance was missed amidst of chaos," Subhadra joined her nephew leading return of everyone into palace.

Dhristhadyumn enjoyed the last few moments of his stay in Dwarka, and left in afternoon with a satisfactory smile on his face.

In evening Subhadra and Pradyumn were chatting in garden. The duo were praising each other for making Dhristhadyumn understand. The genuine enjoyment towards each others company  was expressing itself as relaxing smiles of them.

"Bua maa, I must take my leave. I have to fix the schedule of some important discussions in assembly," Pradyumn stood up with a polite gesture, at which Subhadra nodded slightly.

"I hope you can express your unsaid words to her, Pitashri. Have a nice time ahead," Pradyumn wished Kanha whom he met on his way.

In actual Pradyumn noticed Kanha from far. That was why he excused himself as he knew that siblings needed sometime for themselves.

"Good going! You are sounding just like your mother, decent words filled with delight," Kanha complimented.

"Whom are you praising, Pitashri? Me or matashri?" Pradyumn narrowed eyes at his father.

"I am leaving this question to your wittiness," Kanha smiled playfully increasing the beauty of sunset with his perfect shaped reddish lips.

"Even I have doubt whether you are praising me or teasing me! I must leave  or else I will lose my wittiness to your playfulness," Pradyumn too flashed a playful expression matching with his father.

"This time you are sounding exactly like dau. It's his dialogue," Kanha giggled insisting Pradyumn to join.

Pradyumn left the place greeting Kanha through eyes before the duel of playfulness between him and his father could go too far.

Kanha looked at Subhadra with whom he had so much to talk, but before that he decided to cherish the beauty of nature through the concentrated yet compassionate eyes of his sister.
