Arjun was enchanted on seeing his wife blush like a new bride. You know Krishnaa even after all these years of our marriage you still look like the new bride who walked with me ,hand in hand after the swayamvar. You are Devine. You are endowed with beauty that look ever fresh and mesmerising. Arjun became poetic floating in the ocean of Yajnaseni's beauty and elegance. Panchali smiled shyly and closed his mouth with her hand. It is because of my ever flourishing love for you. I still feel thrilled when you look at me,when you touch me or when you praise me. Draupadi did not say any of the words but her besotted expression exposed her thoughts more than the words. And her Arjun is smart enough to absorb each of her feelings,he does'nt need her words to know them. Priyamvadha knocked on the door and called. Princess,your mother in law asks you to bring the ornaments. Arjun left her with a peck on her forehead. Get well soon, my queen will meet you at night. He winked at her and left. Draupadi wondered how would she inform him about her secret? She can't hide it anymore as she enters into fourth month now and her morning sickness and vomiting which she is hiding as best as she can,can not be hidden anymore. Her problem got solved in an unexpected way. That evening a grand puja was arranged and Kunti asked both Draupadi and Subhadra to be with Arjun and take the Asirvad. As Draupadi feared the smell of dhoopsticks caused reeling sensation and she bore with it till the end. After the Asirvad is given by the family priest and Dhaumya the ornaments brought by Arjun from Vidyadhara kingdom were decorated on the Devine Durga . Draupadi skipped to the backside of the temple with Priyamvada following her with anxiety. She vomited and then Priyamvada attended on her making her sit in the adjacent room. Kunti very much observed the two ladies though she is mot sure why they immediately went to the backside. As soon as she reached the royal palace ,Kunti called for the Royalphysician to her chamber. Behind the closed chambers she questioned the old lady who is loyal to her about her Bahu. The lady first hesitated but then proved her loyalty by spilling the beans. The queen is pregnant with three months already completed. Kunti was overcome by happiness and presented the lady with gold and ornaments.How long she waited for this to happen? In her heart of hearts Kunti nourished guilty feeling for sharing Draupadi among her sons. As if that is not enough Arjun went on pilgrimage for twelve long years and returned with Subhadra.Kunti felt if she committed wrong in separating the couple and making them follow rigid tiles that will be compensated at least with Draupadi's son who will be a sweet symbol of their undying love. Kunti called the Royal announcers who will spread good news every where and made them announce it with one week of continuous celebrations at Indraprasth. The king and his brothers who heard the shouts of excitement and celebration enquired the reason and were shocked to hear such delightful news all of a sudden. Draupadi and Ptiyamvada were in total confusion about the way things happened without their involvement. Arjun could not believe his ears. Bheem slapped on his back and exclaimed. Arjun,the one who is very much awaited to fill the Pandava legacy is happening at last.let us celebrate. He took Abhimanyu in his arms and danced,Nakul joined him. Sahadev expressed his happiness. Today is auspicious Bhrata Arjun,All the merit you acquired through pilgrimages will result in making the child Sruta Kirti. Arjun searched for Draupadi during dinner time. She is feeding Abhimanyu as Subhadra ishaving dinner. Subhadra enquired him. Did you know it before? Arjun nodded his head. No How do I know I went to Manivart no? He said. Subhadra expressed her happiness. All the other boys are older than Abhi. Now he will have a younger brother to play with. Draupadi is afraid Arjun must have been hurt for not sharing the good news exclusively with him.When she saw him in the Dining chamber she avoided him purposely and took Abhimanyu to the inner chamber to feed him. She knew he is too sensitive regarding such personal matters. She should convince him that she never intended to hurt him at all. Yajnaseni earnestly waited for her husband in her chamber but it is nearing midnight there is no sigh of Arjun.
