Evening in Indraprasth marked the function meant for blessing Pragati . It was arranged on a lavish scale with prominent housewives of Indraprastha taking part in it . As usual Duryothan tried to lure away Maharaj for Chausar but Krishna stopped them with his charming smile. Bhrata Duryothan this evening exclusively is meant to celebrate Pragati's First movements and Iravan's entry into Indra Prasth. So Maharaj 's presence is necessary . He said in a smooth but authoritative tone. Sakuni tried his best to defend themselves. Vaasudev, these functions are for ladies. What can we do here? Maharaj will enjoy Chausar more than this. Bheem fumed at him. Mamasri, who told you Eldest won't enjoy being here? This function is for Arjun's daughter and son. He will definitely bless them with his presence. Nakul added. Bhrata Duryothan if you are not interested you can enjoy very well with Chausar. But Bhrata will not take part today. Yudhishtir intervened. Duryothan is our brother. His blessing is also important for us. Likewise Mamasri,Angaraj Karn are our guests. It is a privilege to have them here. They will stay with us. Krishna smiled and added. Ofcourse, they can stay with pleasure. ... The colourful decoration of the very big Functionhall nearer to Royal mansion wore a festive look. Ulupi felt happy for the attention given to her son. She specially got him ready for the occasion by making him wear fabulous silk garments. His brothers doted on him.especially Abhi. Iravan looked every inch a hero for Abhi. He is good at archery and grandfather Bhishm tested his skill in the afternoon and declared,He will prove a worthy son to Arjun in future. Abhi insisted on learning archery from him as his father is too busy these days. Iravan checked Abhi's stance and aim . He wondered how could he have such grip in such a tender age. I need not teach you Abhi, you will surpass every one of us very shortly. He told the kid. ...Panchali is making Pragati ready for the function with the help,of Malini. She just finished Kirti's and with great difficulty sent him with Priyamvada to the Function hall. Now his Ladli sister has to get ready Pragati is crawling on the bed enjoy ing the newly learned acts. She has no clothes on her body and Panchali is trying her best to take her in control.Malini went to bring new clothes from cupboard. Panchali sat on the bed and pulled the baby towards her and she started her protest by wailing . Suddenly the baby was lifted higher and Panchali gasped in fear. She turned back and saw Arjun holding Pragati higher to the delight of the baby. Pragati stopped crying and started giggling. Arjun pretended anger on Panchali. Why is your mother troubling you my little princess? I will scold her . He said seriously. Panchali pouted and complained. Your little princess doesn't want to wear clothes. What shall I do ? Arjun quipped. Let her come as she wants. Panchali widened her eyes and pushed him away she walked away and took Pragati's clothes from Malini. Arjun sweet talked with his daughter my doll won't wear mama's selected clothes. She will come to the function as she likes. Panchali got hyper and burst out. What are you saying? Already your mother sent two messages to bring Pragati. How can I take her without wearing dress? Don't pamper her too much. She took the dress in one hand turned back and looked at them. To her surprise Pragati is wearing a cute white frock with simple thread work. Arjun is tying up the laces on her shoulders. Pragati is trying to,put his fingers in her mouth. Panchali stood in shock and Arjun raised his eyebrows. How is my daughter? Isn't she cute in this? Panchali approached him and asked. Where did you get this from? Who gave it? It is simply superb.she praised.secrets won't be shared with others. Arjun still in teasing mode. Panchali got angry and turned back only to fall back in his arms. Just for fun Krishnaa,It was designed by me for this occasion Indraprasth's famous garments exporters made this with my suggestions. I don't want my princess to get burdened by heavy work ed up dresses. So this is the surprise. Now don't make her wear too much jewellery. You know? He said and Panchali repeated with a smile.I know.she put a small black Tilak on her forehead. A very simple white pendent is hanging on Pragati's forehead.Panchali put the small white stoned ear studs given by Subhadra on Abhi's birth day. Arjun felt immensely happy on seeing his little princess.wah, my doll you look too cute. I have to,protect you from your possible suitors after you grow up. Panchali laughed heartfully and placed a black Teeka near her ear to prevent buri nazar. Arjun pulled her close and looking intensely into her eyes asked. Daughter is ready. Shall I help the mother also? Panchali blushed and moved away from him. Take your daughter. I will come in a short while. Arjun smiled at her and said As you wish. He took his daughter and walked towards the Function hall. On his way he saw Duryothan and Karn looking with scorn on their faces. He quickly moved his strides and reached the Hall. Krishna came to,him with a smile followed by Satya.He blessed the baby and gave her to Satya who immediately started. You came from Panchali's chamber? Where is she? This is your selection or hers? Arjun tried to avoid her and found himself trapped among his other wives except Subhadra.Chitra as usual asked him straight. Where is Panchali? I saw you going towards her mansion. Why she didn't come yet? To his good fortune Arjun saw Panchali enter looking ravishingly beautiful in her white and silver worked saree with jasmines in her long plait. She wore the waist chain and Mang ka Teeka presented by ArjunHer simple yet beautiful make up made her look stunning and Arjun could not help but swallow her Devine beauty not bothering about the penetrating glances of his wives. Panchali sideglanced him posing the question through her eyes. How am I looking? The hazel eyed Arjun answered through the twinkling of his eyes blinking them once that conveyed to her. You look awesome Krishnaa.Panchali blushed as usual feeling his gaze envelope her whole existence.
