Destined (Mahabharat)

Chapter 18:

It is not time or opportunity that is to determine intimacy;—it is disposition alone. Seven years would be insufficient to make some people acquainted with each other, and seven days are more than enough for others.

"I'm not peaking , prince Dhristhadyumna."
Arjuna said with a leisure tone.

Dhristhadyumna look at the other with a slight indifference in his eyes.
"Can I know the reason why my respected brother law is here? It's my honor to meet you here."

His scornful tone made Arjuna frowned.
"I see you are enjoying this very much. You are more ingenious than you seem."

"Why? You want to say something to me?" Dhristhadyumna ask in a light tone.

"You know." Arjuna heavy voice is just contrary to him.

"What do I know? There many thing I know prince Arjuna. Please be clear." The other said.

Arjuna can feel his temper going down.
"I..."

But the real words can't be utter by him. At the last he only said,
"You can't force her."

Dhristhadyumna raised his eyebrows. His lips turn into a straight line.

He know he can't force her. If it any other girl, then he can execute his plan clearly but she's not other.

If his thoughts would reach to any person to dwarka then it only bring problem.

Seeing his dejected look , Arjuna knows that Dhanshree knows his limit. He would cross it.

He gave one more indifference look to the other and walk away.

The cold breeze of night hit the curtains, swaying with it. The refreshing air bring nostalgia to anyone. Cold but warm.

What a irony?

Shreya reach towards the open balcony leaning towards the fence as enjoying the nature.

Suddenly the voice of footsteps ring in her ears. Slowly the footsteps come near her and stops in some distance. But she didn't turn around.

The person clearly feel her pay to heed to him and scowl.

"Not want to see." The person said.
A heavy sadness in his tone.

Shreya didn't answer him. Just look at stars that are twinkling at the dark night sky.

Arjuna feel silent and look at her.
A thought come to his mind.
'When virtue and modesty enlighten her charms, the lustre of a beautiful woman is brighter than the stars of heaven, and the influence of her power it is in vain to resist.'

It's not a lie.

The person under the night sky look like a uncontrollable desire to him. The hidden feeling if many years again wailed up in his chest paining him and making him numb.

His mind feel empty evertime his eyes feel on the serene figure.

The charm that she excude.

But the uneasiness feel him up and his heart. The person he likes is very far to his reach. It feels like to burn with desire and keep quiet about it.

The greatest punishment we can bring on ourselves.

He didn't know when but when he come back to his sense the distance between her and him was gone.
