Iravan is leaving today. Ulupi informed Arjun. Iravan came forward and touched his feet. Arjun hugged him and said. I feel so satisfied that my Eldest son was present at the most glorious Event of Indraprasth.Iravan,as you are going to heaven again ,learn everything properly. Who knows when I need the services of my son? " Iravan replied with great regard and pride.' Ofcourse I will try hard to be worthy of being the son of the greatest warrior on this earth. Pitasri,I will return and train my brothers in warfare. Jyesht Mata told me where ever I go my ultimate destination should always be Indraprasth. " Ulupi kissed Iravan on his forehead and bid farewell to him.' I will leave with Chitra after a couple of days. Ulupi told Arjun.Subhadra is preparing to go to Dwaraka with Krishna and Satya. Arjun is already missing Abhi even though they didn't go at all. ' Don't go Subhadra,If Madhav is not with me I see him in you.And Abhi,How can I live without him? Don't go." Arjun pleaded with her. Subhadra is miffed.' Actually you are missing Bhrata and Abhi.not me. " she complained.Arjun asserted. ' it is not like that. Believe me.I miss you too.please don't go." Subhadra smiled happily. ' Nice to hear such sweet things from you. I promise I will come back soon if you arrive there to fetch me." She promised. Abhi confessed. ' Pitasri I don't want to go.But Mata will feel bad that is why I will go.but I won't stay there for long. Don't worry. I have to come back and look after Kirti and Pragati.I have to teach Kirti how to hold a bow properly. And I have to learn from you how to hit the FishTarget. Satyaki mama told me they all tried but failed to shoot it. I should not fail otherwise People will think Arjun's son failed to hit it. I don't want that to happen." Arjun got tears in his eyes. He can not even think of not seeing Abhi's face as soon as he comes back from practice. How can he stay without hearing his endearing words? He again tried his best to stop Subhadra. ' Stay back. Or We will go later. Subhadra placed her hands round his neck and convinced him. Bhrata Balram asked me to come over atleast for a short while. He will feel bad if I won't go. If war happens with Salva,he asked me to look after father and mother .In the absence of Bhrata Krishna and him,they feel nice if I am with them.You think I will be happy to be away from you? Never. Subhadra can not live without you. It hurts a lot.But I have to go." She assured him she will return soon if he could not come by any reason taking the help of Satyaki...Chitra told Arjun.If the promise to father that Babhru should inherit the throne doesn't exist I would have stayed back in Indraprasth only. Who would like to leave a husband like you? I feel shattered at the thought of going back to Manipur and living a lonely life at Manipur.I cherish the moments spent here in your presence. Do come over there to see your son grow up ." Chitra hugged Arjun with tears.Arjun felt bad.He never thought twice while offering Babhru to his fatherinlaw,as his successor. But now he feels the pain to send Chitra and Babhru away from him..Arya also faces the same situation. The Kalinga king,her father dotes on his only daughter and her son. He is ailing now. So Arya has to go.' I pray to Umaparvati for your success and happiness. I am unable to serve you as a wife. Please forgive me." She touched his feet with tears. Arjun took her in his arms and admitted. Arya,you have a special place in my heart. Serve your father. He needs your services more than me. ...Rekha felt bad as her son who is a two year old have to stay back in Naglok as Vasuki got a message from Indra to meet him immediately.so Vasuki did attend alone but left immediately. ' My son missed his father's touch on his head.I am unfortunate. I could not see our son in your arms." She expressed her pain. Arjun assured her. ' I will definitely meet our son.Dont be depressed.I will come over once I finish my responsiilities.And I will teach you Veena." He smiled at her.Now it is the turn of Alli to take leave. Her mother wanted to take Alli to Madhurai for delivery as her father is all alone there and could not manage administrative stress.Arjun told her with a serious tone.' Don't get shocked if you suddenly see a beautiful snake in your bed one fine night.I am hinting you before only." Alli ruffled his hair and said in a besotted voice. I will wait for the moment.This time the snake won't be let out at any cost. It will be imprisoned in my arms . No one can release the snake from my grip. Not even a certain Yajnaseni,No way." Arjun smiled at her possessive love and bid her farewell with a loving peck on her cheek. I will come at the time of the birth of our sons. He assured her...As he reached Panchali's chamber after midnight,he found her shivering in fear,unable to come out of her dream.Some one is dragging her mercilessly.She is wailing.'Govind,Arjun" Arjun ran to her side,took her in his arms and wiped her sweat. Govind save me. She is still wailing in her unconsciousness . Arjun placed his forehead on her forehead and with moisture in his eyes whispered. Krishnaa,Govind will save you. Don't worry."
