"Aaahhh! Help!!" came a terrified shriek followed by an evil laugh

Subhadra ran towards the place from where the sound was coming. As she reached there the sight which she saw shocked her. She saw Dushala tied in ropes near a tree. 

Subhadra - "Dushala?"

Dushala - "Subhu! Please don't come here! He...He will take you"

Subhadra - "Who? Anyway, I'm not gonna leave you alone here. No matter what!"

Dushala - "Subhu please!"

But Subhadra bravely took steps toward Dushala but a crooked giant creature blocked her.

Gaint - "Greetings, Yadhav Kumari". *dramatically*

 "Welcome Welcome!" and he started his wicked laugh

"I've been waiting for. I knew that you will come to save your friend and I've been following you since you both departed from the castle"

Subhadra - "Oh ho? So btw, Who are you?"

Gaint - "Oh pardon I forgot to introduce myself *laughs*

I'm the younger brother of the Great Kalyawan. Now you understood? Ha ha And I'm taking you to my Brother and soon your Ranchod Bhratha Krishn will meet his end"

Subhadra smirked "We will see who will die and by whom. But at present it's between us. The first task for you is to kidnap me, isn't it? So for that, you have to accept a challenge. Are you ready?"

Demon - "Fine! But anyway I'm gonna win. You lil brat cannot do anything against me"

Subhadra - "It's not good to be so proud of yourself Rakshas ji, We will see"

And so the battle began and it lasted for two hours. With Subhadra's last arrow, the Demon took his last breath. She quickly untied Dushala and they returned back.

Evening

The whole palace was sparkling with lights in order to celebrate the victory of the Kuru Princes.

In Subhadra's Chamber 

For the very first time in her life, Subhadra was gazing and admiring her own reflection in the mirror.

Subhadra's POV

What's happening? Can anyone tell me? Hearing Arjun's name I get a different feeling. My heartbeat starts raising, my temperature starts raising. I don't know, I'm even getting butterflies in my stomach just by hearing his name! And I started admiring myself. Many had told me that I look drop-dead gorgeous...But I haven't cared how I look until Rajkumar Arjun addressed me as 'Beautiful'. Something bloomed in my heart...A new chapter began in my life.

****************

Outside the Castle

The Kauravas reached first fuming with anger. They didn't even glance at the people who gathered to welcome them.  Then comes the divine Pandavas, who has enormous strength in their hands and pure love in their hearts. 

Maa Gandhari did the Aarathi...But somewhere in her heart, she was feeling upset about her sons. 

Dushala - "Congratulations Bhrathashree!"

Subhadra - " I knew that you will surely come winning" She took a quick glance at Arjun and looked at others. 

Beeshma Pitahmah - "Come children come inside, Don't stop here"

Yudhisther - "Yes Pitahmah, Brothers let's go inside"

They all had a wholesome dinner and sat in the palace garden for chit-chatting.

Nakul - "You know Pitahmah? It's because of Bhrata Arjun we were able to defeat King Drupad"

Bheem - "Yes yes. My brother is a genius because I'm his elder bro" Everyone laughed at his comment and Bheem also joined them.

Sahadev -" So Bhrata Arjun, so today the party is yours. So what are you going to do to entertain us?"

Dushala - "Bhrata Arjun, Can you play your Veena? See Bhrata, even my Sakhi Subhadra haven't seen you play it. Will you alteast play it for her?" *pouts*

Kunti - "Haan putr, Will you play it?" she said cupping Subhadra's face.

Arjun glanced at Subhadra who was beaming at him and said "Okay I'll play it" 

Nakul and Sahadev started clapping "woohooo!"

He smiled and paid his respect to everyone then prayed and started playing his veena making everyone breathless. After making a miracle in the atmosphere Arjun stopped.

Pitahmah Bheeshm - "Wha wha! Putr Arjun. It was indeed excellent! You  have an amazing skill!"

Kunti - "Adbudh Putr!"

Yudhister - "Well done Anuj!"

Bheem - "Accha, Kumari Subhadra, did you like it?

She quickly came out of trance. "Of course yes! It was very nice. I mean it was a Masterpiece!!"

Mahabhahu the Great archer was completely flattered by her words. 

As every celebration needs an end and so does this. The celebration got ended with the bursting of colorful crackers which danced like fireflies in the sky.

Next Day

The Sun rose up from behind the hills. Small snowy clouds which seemed like white birds floated on the crystal blue sky. The wind swayed across bringing with it clear scented sweetness.

With rubbing his eyes our hero walked towards the balcony in order to get some fresh air. To his fortune, the first person he spotted was our heroine.  He felt as though the surroundings disappeared into thin air. Her lovely lotus eyes, Her silky wavy hair her breathtaking smile were only visible to him at that time.

All at once he saw a muscular hand approaching her from behind the tree trying to pull her.

Arjun - "No! I should not wait for a second!"  saying so he took his Bow and dashed to the garden.

When he reached there he could not even find her anywhere. He felt as if some hot air is piercing his lungs.

Suddenly like magic, he heard a sweet laugh of a male and female which gave him hope.

"Oh, you! How could you! You nearly scared me out of my skin!"

"Oh is it? My pyari Bhadra got frightened?"

Arjun moved the branch of the tree to see and he was awestruck by the person before him. Who can resist the Charm of Chitha chor ( Chitha - Heart, Chor - theif )  he noticed his best friend's presence and turned towards him.

Krishna - "OMG Parth!! You came to fight with me or what?! Why have you got your Gadhiv?" He enquired naughtily.

Arjun - " Um...That...That I was going to practice archery" he grinned awkwardly.

Shree Krishna understood everything and asked Arjun to come close so that he can embrace him. They were enveloped into each other and Subhadra admired their sweet bond of Nar and Narayan. 

They broke their hug after some time. Krishna turned towards his sister and cupped her face.

Krishna - "Bhadre, did you enjoy your stay at Hastinapur??"

Her eyes sparkled and she nodded yes. He pulled her cheek.

Krishna - " Btw Parth, I'm here to take my Ladli back to Dwaraka..."

Before Krishna could say another word Arjun shrieked - "Whaatt!!? Noo!"

Krishna - "Arrey Parth! Try to understand that Subhadra is not your wife yet to stay with you at Hastinapur" *gives a mischievous smile*

Arjun shyly bowed his head and Subhadra blushed heavily which did not go unnoticed by Kanha.

Krishna - "But don't worry Parth. I had taken permission from bua to take you also to Dwaraka with me. How about that?

Arjun - "Wow! Madhav!! You are the besstt!!"

The next day early morning they left Hustinapur and started their journey to Dwaraka...

So here's the Update😍

Um...I wanna ask a suggestion, Is the story lagging? Should I end this book quickly? Or do you want more ArSu chapters?

Here Draupadi will be the common wife of Pandav kumars. As I don't wanna add too much fiction.

Do VoTe and CoMmEnT
