Arjun sent his officers to Manivarth according to his plan . Ordinary soldiers also went in the garb of normal citizens. Arjun gave the necessary instructions to his officers and told them to be alert as the Vidyadharas happen to be experts in creating illusions. Krishna smilingly said. So gearing up for another war, Parth? Arjun replied. Most likely Madhav. I am sure Manivarth is behind this . Grand father also hinted at that only in his message. So Hastinapur is dependent on your valour even after Kauravas and Pandavas got separated. Krishna said thoughtfully. What happened to Duryothan's dear friend and your competitor , Angraj Karn? Arjun replied with detachment. I don't know Madhav. Somehow Grandfather does'nt seem to have confidence in him despite his prowess. Krishna said. And your grand father is right. Valour only is not sufficient to emerge victorious. We should be cool and composed and magnanimous to acknowledge the competence of the rival. Karna lacks that trait. Arjun made his point. Whatever it is, Grandfather's word is Veda to me. I feel privileged to do anything for him. I want to show Abhimanyu to him. He will be too pleased to play with him. I am unfortunate not to have my grandfather with me. I am unable to serve him in his old age. Krishna consoled him. Don't get disheartened. He will certainly visit Indraprasth when Yudhishtir performs Rajasuya sacrifice.But still time is there for that. Before that Jarasandha should be killed. Arjun asked immediately. Then let us go to Gitivraj with Bhrata Bheem and tackle him. Krishna smiled at his enthusiasm. Wait wait Parth, I told you that will happen only at the proper time. In the mean time I will return to Dwaraka and you tackle the Manivarth issue. Arjun was surprised. Why should you go so early? Let us go to Manivarth together. It will be fun. Krishna laughed. Arjun is enough to teach Vidyadharas a lesson.Krishna is needed back home. Arjun quipped. By Satya? Krishna did not answer but threw his most charming smile at him. ...All through the day Draupadi felt uneasy and restless.She did not make any one sense that but Priyamvada observed and asked. Are you fine? You look indisposed.Draupadi said. Nothing to worry. just lack of sleep made me feel restless. If I had my sleep properly I will be fine. Draupadi assured her but she started feeling the same way even after sleeping well the next day. She started to have doubt as she is not new to that familiar reeling sensation , She may be again ...This time it will be special for her and desirable. But she does'nt want to tell any one especially the one person till the right time arrives . Arjun is staying with Subhadra at nights as she is miffed with him for not not being with her when Abhi was born. Panchali did not expect him to come to her and as she is not well, she finished her work earlier,told Priyamvada to manage and went to her chamber. When Krishna and Arjuna went late to have their dinner,they did not see the queen there. When Arjun asked Priyamvada briefly said. She is not well and retired to her chamber. Arjun's face expressed his anxiety. Why? What happened? Did she take any medicine? Sahadev is informed or not? As he is about to call Sahadev to enquire Krishna told him. Finish your dinner and find out for yourself. I will manage Subhadra. It has been one week since we came and you very well attended on her. Now it is time to attend on your queen,Parth ,Krishna's eyes are mischievously hiding dome thing. Arjun thought...Panchali dressed herself in her simple clothes and lied down on her spacious bed. She asked Malini to keep the lamps dim as she is unable to bear too much light. She kept her hand on her forehead to get over the reeling feeling and closed her eyes. After a while she felt his arms round her ,hugging her close and his husky voice made her open her eyes completely and feel his presence.Even after all these long years he still manages to evoke the same thrill in her heart just like he find when he walked Howard's the fish target.Yajnaseni felt elated to have him by her side,and kept her head on his chest clasping his neck lovingly,Arjun,I missed you,she whispered.
