Satya grasped Draupadi's hand and whispered. Just see what I would do to your forbidden lover.She is excited on seeing her lord and her friend.Draupadi got tensed up.She tried to stop her but Satya being satya did not care at all. Krishna sensed mischief as he knows the ways of his beloved wife. What is going on krishnaa ,Surely my wife is planning some thing weird. He chuckled. Draupadi looked confused as she has no clue of Satya's so called plan.You better know her than me Govind she said. Satya did not bother to answer her husband and avoided looking at him.She knows he will definitely read her mind through her eyes. Arjun dragged Krishna as he does'nt want to fall prey to Satya's foolish ideas.Let us go Madhav Bhraata Bheem, Dhrisht Nakul and sahadeva are waiting for us in the practice grounds. Satya stopped them and teased Arjun. O Super Archer,The sky won't fall on your head if you don't practice one day.Then she winked at him.Or are you running away from your wife? Krishna laughed at the banter of his dear wife.Arjun stood embarrassed while Draupadi blushed. Let us go Madhav.Satya is mad.Arjun turned to go when Satya Stood before him. Krishna caught hold of Arjun's shoulder and pacified him.Parth we should respect our wives no?It will be an insult to them if we ignore them and go.He then asked Satya,..now dear,tell me fast what is cooking in your mind. Parth desperately sat on the bench under the tree and cursed his fate to have come there and got trapped with the ladies.He suddenly felt Draupadi's gaze on him and hesitantly looked at her.Draupadi got immersed in the eye lock she very much desired and came into the reality when she heard the voices of Bheem,Nakul,Sahadeva and Dhrisht.Bheem banged on the back of Arjun and pretended anger.You are here enjoying the company of princess?we are all waiting there.Krishna laughed at this and said.BhraataBheem, My wife is challenging parth to display his archery skills. Arjun got irritated.Madhav what are you saying?you go with Satya'swords? Krishna convinced his parth...Just let us see what Satya wants you to do. Arjun faced Satya,so what does your highness wants me to prove?he said with sarcasm. Every one laughed at the way he said those words.Satya was unperturbed. Now arjun,listen carefully.I was very excited to attend the swayamvara and watch the target hit by the best archer of Aryavarth.but my lord did'nt bring me here .By the time I came here every thing is completed.You know how much I like wars and warriors.So just to satisfy myself I want Arjun to show his skill as prescribed by me. Dhrisht clapped with excitement.Nakul and Sahdev joined him.Bheem affectionately patted Arjun on his shoulder.Go on my brother.I bless you with success.It will be agame for you. Arjun smiled in his winning way.Draupadi could not help but wonder how cute his smile looked. Satya, come to the point. Krishna said. Don't waste our time. He teased her. Satya did'nt bother .She looked straight into Arjun's eyes. On the bank of that lake There is that two storied rest house which is so beautiful.? Dhrisht promptly said Yes Father Drupad constructed that to make Krishnaa play with her friends enjoying the cool breeze of the lake. Satya continued.Myself and Draupadi will go to the terrace and stand in such away. That our images will be seen in water .We both will have the same lotus flower in our hair. Arjun should look at the image and shoot at Draupadi's flower and make it fall in water.But remember we may change our position suddenly .and Astras should not be used..mind it.It should be done with basic archery. Krishna laughed with appreciation.Wah satya,You are a warrior at heart.Truely. Come on Parth, Make it fast. Already we are getting late for poetry discussions. He pushed Arjun towards the lake, Arjun suddenly turned towards Draupadi who is walking behind with Satya.He looked into her eyes. Tell me frankly princess,Are you ready for satya's test?Satya laughed and teased him,So much concern Arjun,Don't worry .She is a princess. Moreover she is your wife.She believes in your skills.. Krishna smiled at Draupadi and said My sakhi and fear?never.Now let us move Parth.He dragged Arjun to the lake.Bheem said he will take care of the ladies by being on the terrace.Nakul accompanied him. Dhrisht and Sahadeva preferred to watch Arjun shoot thee target. THE A RROW. HITS TARGET. Draupadi and Satya put blue lotuses sideways on their hair.They stood in such a position that when they bend their lotuses are seen in the water.But as there are severe rain previously the waters are flowing with force making the images blurr once in a while. Dhrisht looked at his sister with concern and then looked at Parth who took his stance.He remembered the fish target which was shot with such precision.He saw the same casual but focused warrior get ready to win again. Arjun looked at Krishna who smiled at him with affection.Satya put her hand around Draupadi's waist assuringly.Bheema stood behind them and called out.Priincess I am here behind you .dont fear. Nakul pulled his leg Bhrata Bheem Don't infuse fear in her.She should learn to have faith in Bhrata Arjun's prowess.Draupadi looked down .Arjun looked up .Nothing mattered to them both.Draupadi lost herself in his hazel eyes.Arjun into the water The image appears and disappears due to the flow of water.His mind can very well estimate the position of Draupadi's flower.Just when Arjun get ready to release his arrow,satya changed positions.Inasplit second,Arjun's arrow also changed the direction The arrow went up,and smoothly took the flower and turned in such a way to make it fall in water .The stance the positioning,the clarity and the concentration.The best archer of Aryavarth. had done it with ease and eloquence.
