The Fateful Evening part 2

Part 15

Arjun took her face in his hands and remarked. Don't know why the ever inhibited wife of mine is in good mood. A welcome change. What would be the reason ? Today I did not achieve anything great,I presume . What could be the reason?

Panchali  crossed him. Why? Your wife can't be in a good mood without reason? Tell me. Arjun laughed heartfully and said. Ofcourse. She can be . But still seeing you welcome me at this hour of night with open arms,though it feels wonderful,causes concern. Am I in dream? He looked enquiringly into her smiling lotus eyes.
Panchali confronted him. Why are you stressing at this hour of night? You must have forgotten all your visits to my chamber happens at this hour only. May be you get time for your first wife after visiting your other wives. Panchali hid her smile by moving herself away from his arms.
Arjun again caught hold of her waist and retorted. Yes. Otherwise at this hour they will go into full sleep where as my first wife atleast is half asleep while I make love to her. Panchali sulked and tried to push him away. Who is half asleep ? Me? Will you let me sleep at all? You know because of you I have to face humiliation for getting pregnant so soon after Kirti. And you ,no one will say anything on your face. But I faced all that.

Arjun smiled disarmingly and said pouring all his love for her in his words,in his voice. Let the people think we are mad in love,let the world laugh at our longing for each other,Let those who want to laugh,laugh at our obsessed love,we do not care. Krishnaa's whole existence is for Arjun only. Arjun's heart beats for Krishnaa only.
Panchali got mesmerised in his poetic expression of love. She clasped his neck and whispered. You asked me why I am in good mood. Arjun? You know tomorrow is the day you came into my life. You hit the Fish Target exactly on this day fourteen years back.We were not together on this day anytime. Twelve years you went on Pilgrimage .Last two years you went on conquests. Only this year we are together. Even Pitasri remembered this day. He asked me to remind you whenI served dinner. You know how happy I am? It was the day the purpose of my birth is fulfilled. I still feel how elated and besotted I am when I see you walk towards the Fish Target. It was not for this birth only. Our union existed far before and will continue hereafter. " Panchali closed her eyes and smiled feeling the intensity of her love for Arjun.

But the one who is the prince of her dreams had moisture in his eyes. Why do you love me so much ? He stammered hugging her close and making her breathless . His Krishnaa replied infusing all her love in her words.Because you are my Arjun. You are my life. I love you Arjun.As she completed her lovelorn admission she realised she is taken to the Jhoola where their love reached its peaks,where they made the Jasmines blossom in appreciation,where the moonlight  and the stars join their worship of Love and passion. ...

As The Rajasuya will start in a couple of days,the guests also almost reached Indraprasth. The Kuru Allys,Bahlika,Somadutta ,Bhurisravas and his sisters who are now wedded to princes Vinda and Anuvinda arrived with great pomp. Dussala felt too happy to meet her friends .
Mayasabha became the most sought after visiting piece for the guests.Arjun has to control the crowds and make a system for visiting the Mayasabha. He entrusted the duty to Iravan and Satanik to help the visitors go in lines and only in alotted timings. The Four friends wanted to visit Mayasabha without the guidance of anyone,They refused Iravan's offer to accompany them.After a while, Iravan saw them coming with red faces

. Duryothan had a fuming expression and his clothes looked wet.Nakul who happened to come over there looked at them with surprise.Satanik,you and Iravan should have accompanied Bhrata Duryothan,He said. Satanik replied. But Pitasri,Jyesht Pita refused our offer. What can we do? Nakul informed the event to Bheem and he laughed heartfully. Nakul, he must have fallen in water thinking that there is no water . Good  for his health.

Arjun heard this and was worried . Madhav all these days when guests were not there ,they did not show interest in Mayasabha. I personally told Duryothan that I will accompany them. But he refused. Now he must have been the laughing stock as Royal guests are aiming to visit Mayasabha all the time. Krishna brushed it off. Let them have fun or be the funthing for others.Why should we bother? ...
