Mahabharata- I Wish This Lasts Forever(Editing)

Unknown feeling

Dhaksha's pov

The Yati pointed at Arjuna's painting.
"What's that painting?" he asked me.
I don't wanna embarrass myself by saying that I drew Arjuna because he was on my mind all the time and I was getting obsessed with him.

"It's a painting of our cows at Dwaraka." I came up with the lamest lie.
"Does a cow have a bow in his hands?" he chuckled.

"I'm going to embarrass myself more if I just kept lying to him. Should I just tell him that it's Arjuna's painting?"

"Dhaksha!!!" I heard Subadra's voice.
"The best way to escape from here."
"Excuse me for a while. I think it's an emergency." I walked away from the garden.

"What happened, Subhu? Why are you screaming my name?" I asked her.
She cried as soon as I asked her.
"What happened, my dear?" I asked.
"Our brothers have decided to marry me off to Duruyodhana. I can't marry him, Dhaksha." she sobbed.
"Okay, Calm down." I held her shoulders.

"This is where Subhadra elopes Arjuna. I guess Arjuna's at Lord Shiva's temple."
"Let's me talk about this to Kanha na. Don't worry about this, okay?" I consoled her.
"Okay," she replied.

I ran to Kanha's Chamber.

"Why do you have to run so fast, Dhaksha?" Rukmini Ka asked.
"Where's my brother? I wanna see him right now." I was out of breath from running.
"My Aarya's sleeping in the garden," she replied.
I walked to the garden to see Kanha asleep on the grass beside the tree.

"I wouldn't have imagined seeing our Divine Narayana asleep."

"What happened, my sister?" he asked me with his eyes closed.
"Why would you want to marry our Subhu to Rajkumar Duruyodhana?" I sat beside him.
"Do you think I'll leave my little sister to that Duruyan?" he opened his eyes.
"This is where Arjuna marries Subhadra?"
"Yeah. I've already planned things. Trust me, things are going to be fine." he got up.
"You do know what's in your sister's heart, right?" I asked him.
"I'll always know what's in my sister's heart." he smiled at me.

"He knows what's in my heart?"
"Of course, I know." he smiled.
"What?" I exclaimed.
"Come, let's eat something." he walked away.
"Don't read my mind without my permission, Bhaiya," I shouted at him.

Preparations for Subadra's wedding were going on. Soon people from Hastinapur arrived at Dwaraka.

"I want to admire my sister a little bit more in her wedding dress. I'll bring her there myself. You all can leave." Kanha instructed all the daasi there.
"Bhaiya, I can't marry Duruyodhana." Subhu sobbed.
"Calm down, my sister. I know everything. Dhaksha, come with me." Kanha said.

We both got his chariot and waited for Arjuna to arrive. I stood staring at the gate waiting for him to come. It's been long since we've met. I remember being all mean to him the last time.

"There, he comes." he pointed to the yati coming from the garden.
"Why would he want the Yati to marry our Subhu when she loves Arjuna."

"Partha," he called out.
"Wait. The Yati was Arjuna. The person I spent the last few months with was him. The person I grew closer and closer to was Arjuna?" Is that why my brother won't reveal his identity?"

"The Yati staying in our Garden house was Arjuna?" Subhadra's face grew brighter.
"Is that why he seemed familiar, Bhaiya?" I asked.
"Yeah, my sister." he smiled at me.

Arjuna walked straight to us staring at me. I couldn't take my eyes off him. It was true now. He had the single most exquisite eyes. I thought I was being drawn to the Yati. But in reality, I was being drawn to Arjuna. Only him.
