~*~Meeting Our Enemies After a Long Time~*~

Dear My Readers,

After so much delay, I think I am not even in a position to ask for your forgiveness. I just had some assignments, because of which I was so preoccupied that I could not update even a single chapter. Still I am thankful to you for having sticking with this book for so long. Here is the new chapter update for you. For the upcoming chapters I would try to bring updates as soon as possible.

And I am really thankful to all of you for the love you have shown to my previous chapters. 

Hope you will like this new update.

~~~~~

Only three years to go!! I didn't know, whether I should be happy or I should be sad. On one hand my brothers' and Panchali's sufferings would be going to end and on the other hand I was worried about that severe storm that was waiting for us at the end of those three years.

But honestly, unlike the first part of our exile, life at the woods of Kamyaka then was very pleasant. Every now and then, we were visited by numerous monks and sages. Getting even a glimpse of some those sages was an extremely rare opportunity. Their sermons and stories about various aspects of dharma and life and, valuable blessings were like elixir to our souls.

We were also visited by some of our closest friends and relatives. But the person, with whose visit we were most delighted, was none other than my dearest cousin and the anchor of my soul, Vasudev Krishna.

Whenever Krishna visited us, it wasn't less than a festival for us. There was a different magic in his laughter, cheerful talks and courageous words. His words completely made us forget about our sufferings and filled us with a hope for a better tomorrow.

Arjun was extremely excited to meet Madhav. There is no denial, that dedication of Arjun towards his Keshav could be matched with the devotion Lord Hanuman had towards Lord Rama. And I also knew that Keshav also loved Arjun the most, among the five of us. But that day Arjun was more excited as after a long time he would get to hear about his dear wife Subhadra and his son Abhimanyu.

But our cousin, must had already read his mind and had the craziest idea to test his patience. Every time, Arjun went to ask Krishna about Subhadra and Abhimanyu, Krishna would either change the topic or start talking about something else or make some excuse to forgo Arjun's questions. At last Arjun lost his patience completely, and holding Krishna by both of his arms, said in an irritated tone, "Keshav!! How can you be so mean to a father, being a father yourself? I have been trying to ask you about my wife and my son, but you are just unwilling to tell me anything about them. What kind of happiness are you getting from playing with my feelings?"

Everyone went silent. None of us knew what to say. But I could see that signature smile was dancing across Krishna's lips. In a gentle baritone he said, "Parth, is it even possible that I won't be able to recognize your state of mind? But being your best friend and your dearest brother-in-law, I guess I have this much right to annoy you." None of us could stop ourselves from laughing. Arjun too smiled sheepishly.

"Okay fine. You won and I lose. Now at least tell me how my wife and my son are doing? How does my son look like? Is he a docile kid or a mischief master? What are his hobbies? What is his favourite weapon? What..." Arjun might have gone on shooting his question, had Krishna not stopped him mid-way.
