Sometimes we wake up to such a bliss that we wish not to do anything except staring at that and thanking the almighty for granting that to us. Subhadra who was sleeping in Arjun's arm woke up to his honey brown eyes filled with all the love to capture her senses for eternity. Both couldn't resist the insistence of their hearts of living that moment sharing nothing in between them except their breathes.

After struggling against his stubborn heart Arjun kept Subhadra down. Before they could grab the opportunity of eye lock a voice was heard.

"Welcome to fight against me, the door of anger," The voice belonged to door of anger.

"Thanks for introducing yourself," Arjun replied sarcastically.

"It's going to be the last sentence uttered by you," The voice hit their ears again.

"Arjun, be careful!" Subhadra pulled Arjun little backward as the sleeping volcano in front of them got activated in one blink of eyes.

"Looks like we have to fight against this volcano then only we can go out of here," Arjun looked at Subhadra to console her.

"Be happy by nurturing the misconception of escaping from here," The voice laughed at them.

Some hot drops of lava fall on both of their skins as those were sprinkled off the volcano. She whimpered in pain. They had nothing to protect themselves.

"Is it paining much, Subhi?" Wrapping arms around her protectively he enquired.

"It must be equally painful to you also, I know," Rather than answering him she soothed him through her affectionate gaze.

The falling down of hot drops of lava continued for few times. Each time more than own they cared for each other. The moistness of their eyes was the reciprocation of each others pain.

Some tear drops of Subhadra fall down on ground unknown to her. Getting the touch of her tears the heat around them vanished gradually. Finally the volcano even disappeared.

"Congratulations, you both won this phrase," The voice which laughed at them before few times ago congratulated them.

"What was all these?" Subhadra asked.

"The hot drops of lava which fall on you both meant to make you angry, but none of you reacted in that way. More than yourself you both were concerned about each other. Care is the rare remedy for anger which you both showed, and passed this test," The voice explained making the way out for them.

After coming out they found there were no burning marks on their bodies. Smiling at each other they walked ahead.

It was the last door they had to cross in order to reach out to the gem Vinashak asked them to bring. They were standing in front of the last door.

"You both are praise worthy for reaching till now, but from here you both can't give company to each other," One more voice welcomed them.

"Who are you? What do you mean?" Arjun grabbed Subhadra's hand in his immediately.

"I am the last door to the gem, the door of attachment. Winning darkness, attraction, confusion, unwillingness, sadness and anger can be possible, but winning me is nearly impossible. You can assume it simply impossible," Arrogance and over confidence was evident in the voice of door of attachment.

"Assumptions can't be the actual truth," Subhadra corrected the statement.

"Then face the reality. In between you both only one can cross me, and the one who can't cross will die here. Now decide who will go out?" Shocking them the declaration vibrated the air around them.

"Subhi, you should go,"

"No, it should be you," They started arguing.

"It's not a time to argue. Please listen to me," Arjun almost pleaded to Subhadra.

"No, I won't. You have to go out. You have swear of the moments we spend together," Without giving him any chance to convince her she gave him the swear.

"How could you, Subhi? You aren't the only one to claim those moments. Those moments are ours," His eyes moistened in disbelief.

"I just claimed my share. Please go now," She turned her face to other direction to push him invisibly to go out.

Arjun came out leaving Subhadra behind. To their surprise nothing happened to Subhadra.

"Congratulations, you both succeed in passing all the seven doors," They received congratulation once again.

"But you told that only one person can cross this door, and other one have to die," Subhadra indicated about her question.

"Yes, I told, and that was true. Princess Subhadra would have died if Arjun hadn't had her existence in his heart. When prince Arjun came out he brought princess Subhadra also out along with him holding her very existence in his heart. So, she didn't die," Gracing them the vibes of happiness in their nerves the voice explained.

Subhadra came out only to be engulfed by the tight hug of Arjun.

"You are really mad, Subhi. I will complain about this incident to dau and Yashoda maiya," Tightening his hug he didn't leave any space to be claimed by air.

"Looks like you really want me to die," She struggled to utter this much in his air tight hug.

"Don't say like that, Subhi. Ok, I won't complain to anyone," His grip was the same over her. He didn't bother to loosen that even a bit.

"I didn't mean that. Your hug is strangling me to death," She spoke up finally.

"Ohhh! I am sorry," Loosening hug he lifted his face to look at her.

Giving him a jerk she hugged him the tightest like he did before sometimes ago.

More than the happiness of victory the happiness of their love being the final winner was rising up in their hearts which they were sharing through the hug.
