The Fateful Evening part 2

Part 36

Satya and Rukmini together  wondered and questioned their Lord.' Why are you beaming with joy,Swami?" Subhadra who is feeding fruits to Abhi awaited his answer.' Parth got Pasupat from Mahadev.He fought with him and won his heart. Now tell me Satya,Isnt my friend unique and unparalleled ?" Krishna smilingly asked her who is miffed with his friend. Satya smirked and Abhi ran to Krishna and tugged his knees.' Pitasri fought with Mahadev? Great! How much I wish to be with him at that moment? Mama let us go to Pitasri." Abhi insisted.
Krishna laughed at his enthusiasm.' Your Pitasri is in heaven now. He is learning all the Astras.we can meet him only after he returns from heaven. " Krishna approached Subhadra and wiped her tears. ' This is the time for celebration.Not for tears,Bhadra." ...He said taking her closer.
Dhrisht and Drupad hugged each other when they received the message of Krishna that Arjun got Pasupat.Drupad proudly stated. ' No one can come on par with Arjun in valour. I am sure he will avenge the insult done to my daughter." Dhrisht added.' And he will win back Indraprasth." Upa Pandavas celebrated the success of Arjun with great pleasure. The youngest one Kirti ran to Dhrisht and asked.' Pitasri will kill those bad people and bring Mata  to me. Mama,let us go to Mata. Yesterday nite she came in my dream and crying for me.Let us go." Drupad got tears in his eyes. He took Kirti on his lap and placed his hand on his head.' Have little patience,Putr. Very soon they will send message to bring you there." Kirti's eyes filled with tears,Dhrisht observed and lifted him on his shoulder.' We will roam in the city today. I will get you whatever you want. Let us go."...
The spies  of Hastinapur brought the news that Arjun pleased Siva with his valour and got Pasupat.When Gandhari told Kunti about her son, Kunti smiled after many days. She declared proudly.' Didi,The prediction is turning into facts. My Phalgun will get back everything they lost. Mark my words." Gandhari is sarcastic.' Ofcourse he will. He is my Arjun.Let your Eldest lose everything time and again,he will toil hard and win back everything. O my Bahu,how you are suffering in the forest without your Phalgun.I blame Yudhishtir for her plight but not Duryodhan."
Kunti is silent and hugged Pragati closely.' Your father will do it my doll,He will do it for his little princess." Pragati giggled with happiness stretching her hands...
Arjun stood in Nandanvan,the garden of heaven,Panchali stood on the banks of Ganga where they stopped on their way to Prayaga. Lomash Maharshi gave information about how Mahadev graced Parth and asked them to visit holy places. Panchali looked into the waters of Ganga and reminisced the same incident that Arjun also is recollecting with a smile on his face...It was the time when Indraprasth celebrated the marriage of Arjun with Subhadra who returned ten days back. But the queen of Indraprasth certainly is not in a mood to forgive Arjun's multiple marriages.She fumed when she saw Subhadra alongside Arjun and desparately tried to control herself among public but unhesitantly revealed her displeasure when her husband  tried to win back her heart. She knew she loved him rather passionately and avoided as much as possible to be with him all alone. But Arjun is clever enough to find some chance and made his advances in his irresistibly charming ways. That evening Royal guests were invited to bless the bride and bridegroom  and a grand feast was arranged for them. Priyamvada deliberately arranged a big jasmine garland in Panchali's hair much against the protest of Panchali who renounced Jasmines since twelve years . She wore a cream colour silk saree with simple thread work and did not wear ornaments.Her short chain of black beeds looked so beautiful round her swan like neck. She wanted to remove the jasmines but did not want to hurt Priyamvada. When every one is going on the Dias and blessing the couple,Panchali could not control her irritation . The man who left her twelve years in solitude still not satisfied with that and brought Subhadra with him. Heartless husband,she blamed him in her heart.
Just then Kunti called her and asked her to bring pearl set that was there in the treasury room. She forgot to include that in Subhadra's gifts. Panchali sighed with relief .she wanted to run away from him.As she opened the treasury she felt two muscular arms hug her from behind. Panchali turned and realised she became a prisoner in Arjun's arms.But Arjun is freely inhaling the fragrance of jasmines  taking them in his hand. He then caressed her neck and whispered.' You know how I waited to see jasmines in your hair.Why did you stop adorning them? Masi told me you stopped wearing them when I left. Look at them. They are complaining me how heartless you became."
Panchali tried to get out of his hands and retorted. ' They are saying how flirtatious your husband is.And you are world famous for your flirty nature along side your valour." Arjun smiled disarmingly pulling her closer.' You are forgetting an important thing. I didn't flirt with them. They came to me besotted. What shall I do then?" Arjun bent down and kissed on her eyes. Then he proceeded downwards. Panchali felt her senses are not in her control. His proximity,his touch is making her electrified. She looked at the entrance of the room and shouted.' Masi,I am coming."Arjun left her and turned back to find no one there. He understood her prank but before he could hold her again he saw her leaving the room biting her lower lip and with a teasing smile at the corner of her eyes...
Panchali smiled looking into the waters. How ecastic that moment was. She wanted to submit herself there in that treasury room without thinking about anything but her ego prevented her to do so. She closed her eyes and chanted.Come back to me Arjun,soon,Very soon.
