An Unsaid Feeling

Queen of Indraprastha

Arjun told about the entire situation to Kunti as she herself asked him about that. And to his surprise, he got scolded by his mother for his actions.

Later the King with his brothers started leaving for the royal court as they had their duties to fulfil but they were also perplexed in the back of their mind for Draupadi.

"Won't Panchali come with us today, Jyeshtha Bhrata?" Sahdev asked while walking his way through the palace.

"Let her be here today Sahdev, she might not be feeling good" Yudhishthir said.

"Then we should go and talk to her Jyeshtha, we can go to the court later" Nakul spoke and Bheem agreed too.

"We will talk to her in the evening Nakul. You know she takes her own time so let's give her that time" Yudhishthir spoke when Arjun entered.

"Jyeshtha Bhrata, now I am back and i would like to serve my kingdom once again. So can i also come with you?" Arjun requested. He was going through his own pain but being a Prince, he also had his duties which he always wished to fulfil and since he's back so he wanted to do that and also it might refresh his mind, if not entirely calm.

"Arjun you just came back from your exile, you can take rest for few days and then start" Yudhishthir said.

"No Jyeshtha Bhrata, I am fine. It's already been so many years i haven't served my people. I want to do it from today itself"

"Okay Arjun, as you want"

Arjun joined them to royal court and was delighted to see the warm welcome of him there. The people in the court were happy seeing him back and showered him with all their praises and concerns.

Arjun also heard the appreciation of his beloved that how she's helped her husbands in the progress of their kingdom. He was proud to hear such great words for his Krishnaa when the sudden announcement of entry of the Queen of Indraprastha was made.

The people in the court stood up from their places and the gatekeepers bent down on their knees in respect as the Queen walked through the entrance. Whenever she entered the court, it always mesmerised the people out there and today was no different. The entire court was filled with silence as they saw their Queen entering with her charm.

Arjun's heartbeat increased right after she made her entrance in the court. He kept gazing at her until she proudly made herself sit on the throne beside the King and asked the people to continue. Till the time, he just knew about the charm of his beloved in the kingdom but now he could actually feel it when he was watching it himself with his bare eyes. Unknowingly a small smile came on his lips as he thought about how she has handled everything beautifully in his absence.

And just like he kept aside his emotions, she too did the same when it came to serving their people and this thing made him emotional and happy at the same time that no matter how far they would go from each other but their thoughts were something which always kept them together. The thought of fulfilling their duties somehow atleast brought them infront of each other again which was a good thing.

"I feel great to be back and I want to assure everyone that I am ready to take back my responsibilities as a Commander in chief again. So may i get the permit for the same from the King and Queen?" Arjun asked with all respect.

The King and Queen looked at each each other and nodded in agreement "We give you the permission Arjun, may your contribution as a Commander in chief bring more prosperity to Indraprastha" King said giving their approval.

The day passed as they discussed on several matters and later the Queen left instantly after the court was adjourned for the day. Pandavas watched her going but didn't stop her so that she can get her own time as she truly needed it.
