We finally headed back to Indraprastha.

"I didn't even imagine that I'd stay here at Indraprastha forever."
I wanted to see my mom and dad. Let them know that I'm married to the world's strongest warrior.

It was our wedding night, I'm going to make sure that I know everything tonight and make sure that I don't grow unnecessary feelings other than this arranged marriage.

He was already in our room, seated in the bed staring at the moon through the balcony.

"So you got to prove to the whole world that you are an undefeatable warrior." I walked to the balcony.
"What?" he exclaimed.
"Thank you, Rajkumar Arjuna for saving my life. If you did not help me, I'd have to marry Duruyodhana."
"Is that what you think?" he walked beside me.
"Yeah. I promise you that I will not do anything to disturb you. I'll just stay silent as your wife and do my work. You can carry on with your life."
"You are dumb, Dhaksha." he laughed at me.
"What did you say?" I turned to face him.

Arjuna's pov
"I said that you are dumb." I moved closer.
"Then, explain to me why am I dumb?" she asked
"Is she acting like she doesn't know anything I feel about her or she's dumb?"
"Why would I fight so hard and put my life at stake to save you from Duruyan?" he asked.
"Why did you help me, Arjuna? She moved closer.

"My heart skips a beat every time she gazes at me with those eyes."
"Because I wanted to help my Madhava's sister. I did this for him." I lied again.
"Is that why you fought for me? Are you sure?" she asked me.
"Yeah," I let my ego win and never confessed my feelings to her.

Dhaksha's Pov
"We didn't expect Arjuna to come up and help you, Dhaksha." Bheem na said.
"Yeah, we pretty much assumed he hated you." Nakula laughed.
"He should've just let me marry Duruyodhana. Instead of marrying me out of pity."
"Well, he just helped me out. So that I would not end up marrying Rajkumar Duruyodhana." I replied.
"Is that true, Bhaiya?" Sahadev asked.
"Well, I'm a good human being, Sahadeva. I do help people in need." Arjuna replied.
"Yeah, that's what I thought."
"The good thing is Dhaksha's going to stay here forever which means good laddoos forever," Bheem na laughed and everyone laughed back.
"The good thing is I got a family like this out of this. A really good and responsible brother like Yudhistran, a protective and funny brother like Bheem, who resembles my brother, and caring and loving brothers like Nakula and Sahadev. At last, my Sakhi, Draupadi and my sister Subhu. I'd be happy to be part of this family."
"I'm thinking of making coconut laddoos today. What do you say?" I smiled at him.
"Double okay," Bheem na shouted.

"I smiled on the outside but my heart kept going for Arjuna. Craving for his love and care. No matter how much I consoled myself."

Arjuna's Pov

"After talking with Subhadra for a very long time it felt good and calm. Unlike being with Dhaksha.
In her presence, I can't even think properly or even breathe. She's the one that makes it impossible for me to take my eyes off her at any given moment. I feel like my body and soul would burst into flames whenever she's beside me."

I walked to our room to find her already asleep.
"She looked even more beautiful when she was asleep."

I put a blanket on her and I fell asleep on the floor beside her because I didn't want to disturb her or touch her without knowing that she felt the same way I felt about her.

Dhaksha's pov

I got up in the middle of the night and saw the great warrior was asleep on the floor beside the bed. He chose to sleep on the floor rather than sleeping beside me. I took the blanket on the bed and covered him with it.
