Story Unfolds :
Three days later, Bhanumati insisted Uruvi to accompany her. She was now going to somewhere. In these three days, their relationship became quite easy. Uruvi became very fond of her sister-in-law Bhanumati. So also with Charusmati. These three girls had became instant friends. Their family members had no problem with it a bit. Both of their husbands, roughest looking Dushashan and the smug, proud and arrogant Diryodhan had no objection on her friendship with their respective wives.
"Where you want to take me?!!" Uruvi asked Bhanu who as usual was not ready to disclose Her secret.
She nodded her head in dismissal and uttered slowly "You will see all by yourself. Don't worry. I am not going to imprison you." By telling this she winked at Uruvi.
Uruvi, on the contrary, looked at her direction with shock. She was sure that Bhanu had some plan. But was it good or evil she could not tell?!!
"Vasudeva, do I have to go?!!" She had asked Lord Krishna in mind.
The answer came within a second. "Why not, Priyo Sakhi?!! I assure you that Devi Bhanumati is a pious and soft-hearted woman. She is never try to harm you."
She bit her lips in indecision. She did not know what to do now?!!
As if sensing her dilemma Charusmati answered gently by leaning on her "I assure you, Bhabhishree (sister-in-law), Bhrata Karna will kill us if we try to harm you. So don't be scared."
"Who is scared of you?!! Me!! Huh!!" She snorted aloud in anger.
"You look good in that too." Both the girls giggled around her. Merrily.
...."I am going with Bhanu and Charu. Tomorrow morning."
At the time of dinner with her new family she declared it aloud.
Draupadi was serving her favorite food. Rice and fish curry. She stopped abruptly. Then lifted her eyes to Uruvi in complete silence. She did not know when Uruvi got so close to Bhanumati and Charusmati.
Arjuna stopped eating and opened his lotus eyes more wide in shock. Then all of a sudden he started coughing. He forgot to chew his last meal and gulped it down in hurry.
Subhadra was sitting near him and made winds with a "Pankha" (hand fan) to her husband. She tilted her head to Uruvi at first then by hearing the coughing sound of her husband at the next moment broke with a jolt and gave him a glass of water.
Only Yuddhisthir looked unmoved by hearing her declaration. He was still eating his dinner happily. From his face none could guess what was going in his mind. But by hearing the sound of Arjuna he looked at his younger sibling by raising his right eyebrow slightly. Arjuna in hurry nodded his head dismissively. He was ashamed for his foolishness. He, in the next, drank the whole glass of water in only one gulp. A faintest smile appeared in the handsome face of Yuddhisthir, his elder brother, by seeing this naiveness of his sibling.
