"This is heaven! " Sahadev murmured
"How come we never knew about this place? It's so close to Shatashringa mountain" Yudhishthira asked
"Panchali said during their vacation in Khandav Prasth, on their way back home Bhrata Arjun showed them this place" Nakul said and asked Arjun
"How do you do that? I mean finding these great places"
"I don't know....I just, you know love exploring new places that's it... " He smiled
"New places and new women" Nakul sighed dramatically. Arjun walked away fastly ignoring his nonsense, he knew Nakul wouldn't change

"Abhi...Wait! " Subhadra sighed in desperation, their plaque just stopped and Abhi didn't take a moment to jump out of it. He ran where Draupadi and Karenu were.
"Bari Maa, can I please hold my brother! Please... " Abhi pleaded with Draupadi, his brothers say he was too small to hold Kirti but he knew he was big, at least big enough to take tiny Kirti in his arms
"Abhi.... " Karenu started but got interrupted by Abhimanyu
"No!! Don't tell me I'm still young and all... Please Bari Maa, just once" Abhi almost cried,
Panchali didn't know what to do, Abhi was just four and she couldn't take the risk to hand Kirti over him, they both can get hurt. Thankfully for her she heard Satyabhama's voice
"Is my Abhi upset?look your Bhrata Pradyumna, Bhrata Shamba and everyone came to cheer you up"
They all looked at her way. To say they were surprised would be an understatement.
Arjun who along with Sahadev giving instructions to the maids was spellbound, he stood there with his mouth partly open
He couldn't believe his eyes, There he was, his Madhav whom he hadn't met for almost a year. His heart ached in happiness, Arjun was unable to avert his eyes off of Krishna beautiful face
And beside him were Balrav, Revati and all wives of Krishna and their children
"Madhav! " Arjun laughed in overwhelming joy and literally threw himself at Krishna who somehow managed from falling on the ground
"Easy there Paarth!" Krishna laughed at Arjun's childishness , they hugged for a while before releasing each other
"I can't believe it, I didn't expect you at all... Why did you not answer any of my letters? " Arjun crosses his arms over his chest, He was pretty offended.
"Arjun.. You do realize we all came with your Madhav right?" Satyabhama glared at them and Subhadra who was hugging Revati like a little kid supported her "Yes bhabi, see Bhrata didn't even glance at me or anyone, he seems to forget that we all are here too"
"That's very cruel of you Bhadra... Is there even any difference between you and Paarth? " Krishna smiled sweetly at her and side glanced at Draupadi who turned her face away
"By the way, I didn't come without invitation! So you better treat me properly, Atithi Deva Bhava" Krishna went near Draupadi and took Kirti in his arms. Abhi became busy with his brothers
"Invitation? " Arjun narrowed his eyebrows and looked at others to see their reaction but to his surprise no one had his expression, everyone seemed quite normal
"Yes, my Sakhi called me and I can refuse anyone but her! "
"Yeah... " Draupadi rolled her eyes, she wanted to tell 'as if you'd come if it weren't for your Paarth's birthday
Arjun's eyes met Draupadi's as she raised her eyebrows asking how was her surprise. She could literally feel the happiness in his eyes. Arjun wanted to ran to her and say how thankful he was to her. But, well... He couldn't even talk to her in front of his brothers and it wasn't unknown to Draupadi, she was used to it
"Arya, we are really tired, and there are loads of works at evening for me, so can we go and take rest! " Satyabhama pleaded
"Work? What work? Don't tell me you are going to cook! " Arjun asked with a horrified expression
"Even if I do, what's your problem? " She asked narrowing her eyes
"Problem? I don't have any problem except the fact we all have to sacrifice our supper! " Arjun looked at Krishna who cleared his throat,
Satya's face turned red as all of them laughed except Krishna
"Don't take Paarth's words seriously... If no one, I know how appetising your foods are.. "
Satya couldn't help but smiled, she knew her husband wasn't lying, especially the way he was looking at her
"Ahrmm... If you're done looking at each other... " Draupadi teased
"What's it with you all, You're teasing me in front of everyone, forgetting I'm the one who did almost all arrangements for Arjuns b--" Satyabhama couldn't complete as Draupadi grabbed her arm
"I have to say you something important! Hurry! " And she dragged Satyabhama away leaving a 'not-so-confused" . Arjun knew his birthday is coming, so was this their way to celebrate it?
*****
"You were about to ruin everything! " Draupadi cried out
"Sorry... But it's not my fault, you were teasing me in front of everyone, Bua, Jyeshtha Bhratas , the kids! " Satya defended herself
"Okay okay whatever, you know I've invited Arjun's other wives and their children! They are coming tomorrow, so we should give them a proper welcome.. Please help me! "
"You don't have to worry, we've everything arranged, they will be welcomed properly at Shatashringa parvat, You've send a loads of maids anyways, including your personal maids so all we have to do is take Arjun there, my Arya will do that.. "
Draupadi gave her a hug "This wouldn't have been possible without you and Govind"
"Oh hush! The credit goes to you, we just helped a little! "
