ARJUN AND HIS SUBHADRA. They were epitome of selfless love .Its that love 's sacrifice, that led to the continuity of the kuru clan through them .I'm glad that the couple isn't ignored in the actual text and among people .I am grateful to all the w...
"Bra.....tha..brath..a arjun.".called nakul. Arjun turned back and looked at nakul coming running to him.
"Bratha...mata has asked us to go to the shiv temple, she will be coming in a while to attend the pooja...."said nakul smirking at arjun.
"Ahhh okay ! So nakul let's go...but why are you smiling unnecessarily...i mean you never do show this much of your teeth unless princess are nearby "he said patting on nakul 's back
."bratha" he said in frown tone....."i am never like that bhai ,its just im being polite with people "he said running his fingers through his hair with a pouting face.
"Okay !!!okay nakul I believe you...come so let's go as mata said" He said smilingly ...................................... They reached the temple footsteps.
"Nakul, ....noone is here... i guess" arjun said looking around.
"Areyyy you both..what are doing at the temple premises....." ..asked an elderly women dressed in red khadi saree covering her face with a stick in her hand.
"Why are you smiling stupidly " she banged nakul on his head with her stick which she had in her hand.
"You are not supposed to be playful" around temple she said faking a serious tone.
"Ahead mata ...this was hard one..was...not as discussed" he blurted ... "I mean.... ehhh...he gulped.. "Eh M..Mata did God come and tell you...not to allow people to smile around temple premises." Said nakul trying to cover up.
"My lovey child..".she said pulling his ears..in a grumpy voice. "Ofcoz not ! but according to the almighty one has to be fully focused in one's commitment in performing a task rather than being playful"..she said to nakul... giving him hints...to not let the plan spoil through his acts.
"Yes mata I am getting it now."...you can leave my ears please..
And took off her hands.
Arjun was watching them perplexly...their conversations seemed to be homonynous.
Arjun: "Mata, we are the pandvas . Kings vasudev's guest.we come to the temple for performing the pooja." Said arjun in a dubious manner.
"Adhbooth putr ..you look like my child ...she said pulling arjun's cheeks. Arjun was bemused still with this strange women.
Thankyou mata....
"My name is madhavi and yes today is chandragrahan ...so today if we perform this pooja to mahadev ....all your wishes will come true."
"But there is a unique proceeding for it."She said clearing her throat.
"You are supposed to hop the entire temple thrice by folded hands raised above your head...."she said eyeing arjun. ...and coughing at nakul.
Flashback: whenever I cough...you have to fill up the spaces convincing arjun..so that he doesn't doubt on us..nakul remembered subhadra's words.
" But Mata this sounds weird, why is it done this way, ? "mahadeva will be happy by just true bakthi mata." Said arjun
"Bhratha we cannot question elders we are supposed to follow it...lets do it bratha... for our family. ...saying so he smirked back at the women who was the bhadra herself.
She nodded "yes putr, the elder among you both can do..."
"As you say mata please bless us", and he bent to touch her feet. "No putr ...you dont need to ,my blessings are always with you. Ayushman bhava!"said madhvi
"Please start the ritual as the chandragrahan will be beginning....saying so she left ."
So arjun for you , this time i have disguised myself...as an old women
she chuckled looking at arjun who was perplexed looking at her...
Arjun: "madhav you are associated with all your people...i feel you are telling me to do this through someone whose name is associated with yours. But she seems to be mysterious. I could sense twinkling eyes of her..looking at me...through the simple cloth covering her face....but i cannot see who is it."

So bhratha lets us start?....
Nakul how can you take the credits to be 'we' , when I'm supposed to do it all alone? He asked him in a sarcastic manner.
Bratha I was just encouraging you, he said pouting.
"Nakul, today you are behaving akward....i can sense it...are you upto something ahan?"
"No bratha! never would I! , im just being obedient in this new place....i think thats what is making it awkward for you " he said laughing...for which arjun smiled.
........
"So, is this position okay? "He said keeping one leg raised from the ground and both his hands joined and folded raised above his head like a namaste over your head
"Yes bratha 👌" he said controlling his laughter.
He starting hopping around the entire temple...in plodding manner.
Nakul was laughing like hell...whenever arjun didn't notice.
"Yes bratha you are almost done a little more..." he said in a cheerful manner. "This is mast... subhadra..what a plan yaar !"he thought laughing uncontrollably .
he finally completed the last round hopping sluggishly... With shortness of breath.. he leaned on a pillar.
"Nakul get me water" he asked...
"Yes bhai sure ." . later he got some water in a leaf from the fountain within the temple entrance.
"Yes bhai..have it please."
"Thanks nakul and he chugged it."
Before he could finish someone tweaked him on his lower hip from back.
He spat on nakul's face.....
