Thefateful evening......arjun.Draupadi os - Page 109

After a while Panchali got up slightly rested her head on her elbow and started gazing into her husband's serene face looking too beautiful even in sleep. She couldn't help but wonder what made her submit before him despite being hurt by him since the very first day of their union. She remembered her Swayamvar ,her father's anxiety about the outcome if Arjun failed to reach in time. Drupad emphasised his decision when he blessed her that morning.' Krishnaa,you are meant for him,if he won't come I would better keep you forever in Kampilya." The scene changed. Panchali remembered Krishna's words.' Come what may it would happen. He is your destiny." Panchali 's inner conscience travelled to the prestine moment when she saw the Brahmin youth move towards the Fishtarget. Her heart instantly connected to that stranger.'Is he Arjun? Or Some one else?But that striking resemblance with the portrait's hero?" Panchali got excited remembering the life defining moment of her life. He did it. And won her.She garlanded him.How beautiful that face is even with the beard..First time she experienced the loving gaze on her,from the one who got every right on her.Then the walk towards their hut. The protective arms that held her when she has fallen in the forest.The mischievous hazel eyes trying to hide his real identity.The confident smile when she realised his identity. Yes. He is her destiny. Father is right. Govind is right. They both were born for each other. But..The Event that changed her life,his life,their equation.That FATEFUL EVENING.' Share it equally among you five." Kunti's voice still made her shiver from within." Then Eldest's voice echoed in her ears' Let all five of us have her as our wife." Panchali had tears in her eyes . She changed her position.sat straight with a pillow in her lap taking care not to disturb Arjun's sleep.This beautiful face she loved then bent down not uttering a word of protest.She became furious hated him in her mind for letting her become an object to be shared.Govind interfered. Pacified her.' Your Supra physical entity belongs to Parth.That fact remains your identity." Panchali closed her eyes. How can she forget her first Nite with Yudhishtir? How painful it is for her to come to terms with the fact that it is not Arjun who will be the one for her but his Eldest who had the privilege to have her .Panchali opened her eyes. This beautiful .face could not do anything but prove his loyalty towards his brother. Priyamvada's voice resounded in her eyes.' Princess. Arjun is leaving Indraprasth. You can not see him for twelve years." She almost dragged her to the terrace.Panchali shivered feeling the pain all over again. He went off Took away the energy the life from her. She survived. Became the mother. But She left her identity behind.She is not Panchali,the beautiful princess who nourished dream like life with her Arjun. She is the Queen of Indraprasth,The caretaker of the Antahpur,the mother,the daughter in law. But Twelve years after she was swept off her feet by her soulmate who returned with Subhadra,again hurting her the most by his flirtatious nature. She overlooked Ulupi's advantage,Arya's devotion and Chitra's passion but Subhadra,she can not tolerate the cute sister of Govind who made her Arjun abduct her Panchali looked at his beautiful face. She remembered how she finally submitted her soul and body to him,how he pacified her proved his passionate love for her as unique.' Forgive me Krishnaa For Every Thing." Arjun's voice echoed in her ears. Yes she forgave him.Spent beautiful moments with him.Got Kirti and Pragati.Thought that life will be a song of melody with him. What happened? Her Indraprasth collapsed before her eyes. She was staked. She was dragged and insulted. Again his silence hurt her this time she never thought she can forgive him. But again he made the impossible possible.He went off for five years and returned to her invincible with Pasupat and won her heart by rejecting Urvasi despite facing the curse.She forgave him and reconciled . And after the incognito now the real test stares at her. ' Will he avenge her insult? Or in his heart of hearts he is blaming her for making him fight with his dearest grand father.She never know. Suddenly Panchali felt his hand over pulling her nearer to him .Panchali looked at his beautiful face.Arjun wiped her tears.' I will never blame you Krishnaa.You are not the reason for war.And you never wanted bloodshed. Trust me. Don't be unsure of yourself.And don't think I will put the blame on you if I have to fight Pitamah." Panchali looked puzzled. ' You are not sleeping? And how do you know my thoughts?" Because I live in your heart." Arjun's answer made her smile.His beautiful face charmed her again. And his love ? It works like cool sandal paste on her wounds that cause pain not physical but result in mental agony.I love you Arjun.And I can't help it." Yajnaseni confessed.

Wonderful 👏
I checked 3-4 times today to see whether you've updated or not 😆 😉

Dussasan warned Duryothan.' If you stay here you will be submitted to Krishna by our revered elders. Then he will take you to Dharmaraj by force. So leave the Sabha now itself.Duryothan got up and walked out along with Dussasan,Karn and Sakuni. Dhritarashtr sent for Gandhari to council her son.Gandhari entered the Sabha and questioned Dhritrashtr.' Who will stop you if you give Pandavas their kingdom? Why do you listen to your son? Fault lies with you only." Having said so she asked Duryothan who came to her reluctantly.' My son, Why are you bent upon destroying your own race? Don't wipe off our happiness by causing death to your whole family before our eyes. Don't become a prey to Bheema who will fulfill his oath of killing you all. Go and make peace with Dharmaraj. Phalgun will extend a friendly hand to you if you go with Krishna. Don't spoil the opportunity." Duryothan again went off and started discussions with Karna and Sakuni. Krishna observed this and told the king.' When my Uncle Kamsa became a Tyrant I killed him and saved our family. Similarly if you push Duryothan away compromise becomes possible.Leave him and save Kuru Vamsh." Duryothan listened to this and started planning to bind Krishna and imprison him.Satyaki observed this and informed Krishna.The Lord got angry and fiercely admonished Duryothan.' Foolish Duryothan you think I am alone and helpless? Is it possible to bind me with anything? " So saying Krishna displayed his Virat Rup that is not possible to see with naked eye. Duryothan and others became motionless and could not look at his glorious form.Krishna gave Devine vision to Bheeshm,Dron and even to Dhritarashtr who requested him to grace him vision.Siva appeared in his heart. From his mighty shoulders Haldhar Balram and Gandiv Dhari Arjun appeared. From his back the four Pandavas appeared. Agni is seen in his face. Surya Indra and other deities adorned his form. Bheeshm,Dron and Vidur had tears in their eyes on seeing the Devine form. Dhritrashtr asked Krishna to take back his vision as he doesn't want to look at other things after seeing the Virat Rup.Then Krishna became normal and addressed the assembly.' You all had seen my efforts to bring peace between Kauravas and Pandavas. But Duryothan refused to oblige. Is it so Duryothan? " His question made Duryothan confess strongly.' I don't want to offer Pandavas the land that is required to put the tip of a needle. That is my decision." Krishna got up and declared.' So be ready for war. The fire called Arjun will burn the Kuru forest. The war will commence on Margasirsha Ekadasi.Let us meet on that day at Kurukshetr." The celebration of sixteenth day of Abhi's marriage is going on with great pomp.Upaplavya is decorated in a grand manner.Dhaumya made Abhi and Uttara sit together and recited Ashirvad mantras along with Vedic Brahmins. Subhadra did Tilak and Aarti.Satya teased Arjun.' I hope today you won't hold your training camp for the boys. Let them celebrate with song and dance. " Arjun agreed but said he has to go to look after other things." Subhadra chuckled.' Only one day you can spare . Why are you doing things like the war is just round the corner? " Satya supported her. ' Yes. Let us play interesting games with children.Draupadi got up and pleaded with Satya.' Spare me from your games. Let children enjoy." Abhi stopped her by holding her veil. ' Jyesht Mata,please stay back." Yudhishtir entered and called Arjun.'Messengers came from Hastinapur. Krishna is on his way back." Arjun's face brightened. How much he missed his Madhav? Within two days he will be back.He turned to Draupadi and said.' Stay back. We don't know what will happen tomorrow. Mostly Duryothan may not have agreed for compromise.Let our children enjoy the occassion."

Kunti is combing Pragati's hair. Pragati has thick black hair like her mother and curly like her father. The otherwise simple and cheerful girl always creates problem for her grand mother when it is time to arrange her hair in a proper manner. The maids can not even touch her hair as she will scare them with her shouts. So Kunti took it upon herself to comb her hair despite finding it a difficult task to do.That evening as usual the grand mother and grand daughter sat on the terrace with Kunti brushing her hair with much difficulty.She scolded her grand daughter.' Pragati Now you had grown up. I can't manage your hair. Why don't you let the maids do?" Pragati answered instantly. ' I won't. I will keep,it as it is if you can't. But tell me how did mata manage her long hair?" Kunti smilingly answered.' She is the queen of Indraprasth. Malini and Priyamvada managed her hair. But Pragati,you have Phalgun's curls which are very difficult to manage. I only used to brush his curls with so much care. Afterwards your mother learnt to do so. But when your mother is not with him ,he used to trouble me by not giving me time at all. Only Panchali of all his wives could mend his ways." Pragati turned to her Grandmother and asked.' Why is my mother not with my father always? " Kunti was shocked and stared into her beautiful face.Pragati took her chin in her hand and repeated.' Why Dadi Mata? I hear so many things about my mother from maids,and sometimes from Bhanumati Masi and Dussala Bua.But I want to know it from you.Why is my mother not with my Pitasri always? " Kunti looked at her innocent face. The eventful past is glaring at her. She is answerable not to her Phalgun but to his daughter.She placed her hand on Pragati's head and said in a shivering voice.' It is destined Putri. Your mother's previous birth effect caused in such unimaginable happening." Pragati listened to her story in a cool manner. She exclaimed.' Oh, Such a ridiculous story. Unbelievable. But why did Pitasri accept it? And Mata? She can refuse out rightly ." Kunti tried to convince her. ' Pragati Your father can not marry before your Jyesht Pita. How can he?" Pragati had an answer for that even.' Pitasri can marry after Jyesht Pita got married." Kunti thought it is better to divert her little girl as she may not be convinced easily.She finished her combing tied a ribbon below and said.' Now it is time for my evening worship.Will you look after the arrangements? " Pragati smiled and got up. She understood her grand mother doesn't wish to prolong it.' Sure. Dadi mata I will call you after I put everything ready." She ran downstairs leaving a disturbed Kunti pondering over the Past that made her name prone to criticism for generations to come. Krishna returned and informed everything that happened at Kuru Sabha. He also told them Kunti's instruction that is to fight for their right and punish the offenders of Panchali.He said.' Duryothan tried to imprison me . After that I realised that at any cost war is inevitable.So Maharaj Do the needful and be ready for war." Yudhishtir expressed his concern.' How can my mother endorse bloodshed? It leads to the destruction of Kuru race. " Arjun firmly said.' When Madhav advised us to fight and our mother supported him then there is nothing to discuss I think." Bheem applauded him.' Arjun is right. Let us March to Kurukshetr. We will show our might." Sahadev approved of it.We will reach there after a fort nite He declared.

It has been more than one month since the marriage of Uttara and Abhimanyu happened. War will start after twenty days sharp. The preparations are going on at a faster pace. Uttara is combing Abhi's hair and enjoying the naughty ness of her husband. Abhi teased her ' Have your fill princess. I won't be available for such things afterwards,' Uttara pouted and questioned.' Why do you say so? Where will you go?' Abhi answered proudly ' Whereelse? But to the battlefield? It is not an ordinary war. Finally I am getting an opportunity to prove myself.' Uttara hugged him from behind.' I know Savyasachi Arjun will always be there to monitor his son who is a little bit over the board.' Abhi smiled and pulled her on to his lap.' But I would like to do fight on my own not under the protective shade of my father.' Uttara quipped' I hope he will always be there for you.' That evening turned to night which brought immense joy in Pandavas camp. Uttara complained of giddiness and was examined by Raja Vaidyaa who declared the good news,Uttara is pregnant . Every one is elated and are in high spirits. Krishna sighed in relief.' The purpose for getting you married to Subhadra has been served. Aryavarth will have a successor to Kuru throne,' He told Arjun who was confused and irked.' Madhav you always talk in riddles.How could Abhi get the throne when Prati is elder to him? I can't understand' Krishna replied in a firm voice' I talked about Abhi'sson not Abhi or Prati.' Arjun stared at him trying to grasp the essence of his words. Krishna pulled him up and dragged him ahead abruptly diverting his attention.' Let us go The meet to discuss about the commander in chief is going to start, your Eldest gets tensed up if we are not in time.After that we will enjoy being grand fathers to be and celebrate with the ladies.' Arjun smiled at that and felt great, He still remember holding Abhi first time in his arms , Now his little Abhi will hold his son.Yudhishtir asked his brothers who will be the Sarva SenAdhipati for the Seven Akshouhinis army that will fight on Pandava side .Sahadeva said ' Virat. He with his army is loyal to us. Let him be the commander of the whole army Nakul proposed Drupad's name. ' Our Father in law with his experience can guide our army well ' Bheem said Sikhandi.' He is born to take revenge on Pitamah, We should make him Senapati' Arjun expressed his opinion' Dhrisht Dyumn with his great understanding of vyuhas can counter the plans of Kauravas Also he is equipped with weapons that were granted by the firegod I think he is young and energetic to bear the pressures of war.' Yudhishtir asked Krishna his choice' Kfishna said' I will vote for Dhrishtadyumn for the same reasons as told by Parth. Let him be the Senapati' .

Very nice 😃
uttara 😭

'Your favourite son in law opposed your candidature for the commander in chief of the whole Kaurava Army." Panchali told her father after she came to know about the selection of Dhrisht as the Sarva Senadhipati.Drupad looked at his daughter amused at the way she pronounced the Favourite.Before he could answer Yudhi came and gave explanation.' Forgive us for ignoring you and proceeding with your son.But Arjun's suggestion was supported by Govind.So...Drupad stopped him in the middle.' You did a good thing. At this age it is stressful to bear such big responsibility. Dhrisht is capable and young. He will manage perfectly." Yudhi still persisted.' But still it hurts. So I request you to forgive me." After he left Bheem Nakul and Sahadev came for the same purpose.But the one who is the reason for the whole turmoil didn't turn up.Just when Drupad is about to leave for his rest room with Sikhandi Panchali heard the familiar knock on the door, She opened the door to the third Pandav who is in high spirits following the news of Uttara's pregnancy. He smilingly clasped her waist and about to say something and then observed his father in law and Sikhandi looking embarrassed . Arjun composed himself left Panchali and did Pranam to Drupad.Sikhandi teased him ' I think we should have left a bit early.Just leaving. Feel free ." Sikhandi always disliked the man woman kind of togetherness and never hesitated to expose her feelings.She has this like dislike kind of relationship with Arjun as she always felt Draupadi is too besotted with Arjun and loses herself to him completely. She liked his extraordinary valour but hated him for sharing Draupadi and for making her a prey to be insulted in Kuru Sabha.Arjun walked in and Drupad asked him .' Is the division of army complete? You selected seven commanders? " Arjun nodded.' Yes Pitasri, Dhrishta Ket,Chekitan,Sahadev,Satyaki,Sikhandi ,Virat and yourself." Sikhandi fumed.' Who told you to select me? I have my own battle to fight with Santanav Bheeshm.I can't manage your army." Arjun replied curtly.' Thank your stars. You are the commander of one Akshauhini only.But Bhrata Bheem wanted you to be the chief commander of the whole army.' The sarcastic tinge in his voice did not escape Sikhandi.' You think I can't manage the whole army? ' Sikhandi questioned him bluntly.Arjun made an innocent face.' When did I say that? Did I say so Pitasri?" He asked Drupad.Panchali nodded her head in despair.She knew her father will never go against Arjun.Drupad admonished Sikhandi.' When did he say that? Sikhandi you should first hear properly and then speak. Arjun is right. It would have been a difficult task if you lead the whole army. And first understand this. Whoever be the commander he has to work in sinc with Arjun's plan.He knows the formations and defence tactics more than any of us.With Arjun at the helm of affairs it is too easy for Dhrisht to manage everything. Arjun,Dont take Sikhandi seriously.I say sorry on her behalf. " Panchali and Sikhandi looked at each other.They thought that Arjun will feel say sorry for not selecting him as Senadhipati.But instead Drupad is saying sorry," Drupad continued.' Arjun I thank you for not selecting me for the pivotal post. Only you understood how precarious it will be for me at this age.You removed the burden from my head. Dhrisht will perform well under your guidance. Don't hesitate to scold him if he underperforms." Drupad moved out with Sikhandi who could see the smile at the corner of Arjun's eyes.Panchali turned her face away and walked in.Arjun followed her and hugged her from behind.' I came to wish the grand mother to be. But you are busy with your father. " Panchali retorted.' Ofcourse I am happy to be the grand mother.But I doubt you will ever change atleast after becoming a grand father." Arjun laughed and turned her towards him.He took her face in his hands and whispered.' Who will believe that you will be a grand mother? Just no signs of age on you.You are ever young and fresh. What nectar are you drinking daily? May I have some of it? " Panchali blushed and pouted.' Your son is getting a son. And your playfulness remains as it is. Learn to be like a Pitamah." Arjun bent forward and out rightly declined her suggestion.' See how beautiful the winter night is. The campfire also won't work now. Only the Fireborn can offer me warmth.Krishnaa age is not effective on heart. It can effect body. But in your case age stopped showing effect. And I hope it did not show much effect on me even' Arjun said with attitude. Panchali raised her lotus eyes to see her ever energetic and handsome husband smiling with confidence.She thought to herself' How true his words are. With age he became more desirable and charming.She bit her lower lip trying to hide her besotted feelings bending her face down.
