The Fateful Evening part 2

Part 137,138

Now stop brooding over the past. Your Indraprasth people understood you Parth. Get rid of your guilty feeling." Krishna said. Arjun still had the gloomy expression on his face. Both of them are sitting on the Royal terrace enjoying the cool rays of the moon.The attendants arranged a wide range of drinks on the table placed in the middle. The friends liesurely reclined on the couches holding the Goldenjars filled with excellent tasteful drinks.
Arjun stammered in a low voice." Issue is not their forgiveness. Whether I can forgive myself or nor that is the point.And I can never forgive myself you know it."
Krishna retorted tongue in cheek." My Sakhi forgave you .Isnt that enough for you to redeem yourself?
Surely she proved herself great by doing so. "
She is always great I know it. Madhav, Indraprasth is the treasure of old memories. My kids played here. My Abhi flourished here. Panchali's Kirti doted on his mother here only. Golden days will never come back. Who is more unfortunate than me? I got back the kingdom but not my children. Irony of life.I now understood why you told me on the first day of war that I am only a tool in the hand of fate.
No. I am a tool in your hand. By the way I could not remember everything you told me on that day.
Can you repeat it for me? " Arjun asked earnestly.

Krishna stood up,walked towards Arjun and hugged him closer.He scolded him with affection.
" Parth How could you be so careless then? You know it is Gita,the essence of Spiritual knowledge.
Even I can not repeat exactly what I told you then. But still I will elaborate the essence of Gita for your sake.It will be called Anugita. Before we go back I will instruct you I promise."
Arjun folded his hands with gratitude." Your grace over me is unlimited.Probably I did something good in my previous birth."
Krishna claspedb his hands and separated them." I told you already. There is no difference between us both.We are the same.

It is past mid night. Arjun could not sleep at all.He rolled on the bed this side and that side.He looked at Krishna who is in deep sleep. He got up and walked towards the inner apartments which were once occupied by all the wives of Pandavas.All the wings were kept the same way as they used to be thirteen years back,at the time of Rajasuya.
He walked towards the northern wing where his warrior wife Alli used to be. He entered into her chamber and looked around. What must be passing in Alli's mind.He married her but hardly took care of her. He did not know whom she begot. She left immediately after Rajasuya. Did she get twins as it was predicted? He did not bother to get information. He was in Exile,then incognito then war...
Suddenly he heard the noise of Payal. He looked back and shocked to see Alli there.

Alli walked towards him as if in trance.Arjun was spellbound. How could Alli be here at midnight?
Alli touched his cheek and smiled." Finally you got time to think of me.Not fair,Rajkumar Arjun,"She complained.Arjun just looked at her beautiful face.Alli continued." You know your son exactly looks like you. And your daughter ,she is like me.
Alli pouted and pulled him closer." I know you love your Krishnaa too much. All these years your whole life revolved round her only.Now that she got peace and living happily,you remembered me.
Alli clasped his neck and admitted." But I loved you sincerely. That is why I came to you when you thought of me. I love you Arjun...
Arjun closed his eyes and thought it is not his dream. Alli is here.
He then opened his eyes and found himself alone.He looked around but Alli was nowhere.
Arjun was confused. Must be his imagination He thought.

Arjun walked towards the chamber where Chitra used to be. He entered inside. It looked like still
Chitra is living there. The attendants kept everything as it is.
Arya,finally you came to me? You still remembered you married Manipur princess?
Arjun could not believe his eyes. His Chitrangada is standing so nearer to him Arjun tried to touch her.
Chitra did not allow him and said.' Don't you want to know how I endured all these years of separation?
Ulupi always told me you loved your Krishnaa so much. But I never bothered.
Arjun was in shock. Chitra seemed so real to him. Her anger,her attitude she is real.
Chitra slowly moved very close and placed her hands round his waist.
I am angry with you still I love you Arya Arjun...
Arjun closed his eyes. He should not disappoint Chitra. She deserves his love.
As he opened his eyes he understood again he was deceived...
