"Bharta Dyumna!! Bhrata Dyumna!!" echoed a chirpy voice who was searching for her dear brother in the whole palace of Panchal.

"Drau! Here I am. Inside the library!" replied Dhrishtadyumna who was searching for a book in the library.

"Bhratashri! You here in the library!? Unbelievable! What were you doing huh? Your sister searched the whole palace of Panchal. I don't know why Pitashri has built such a big palace." said Draupadi panting.

"Ohoo! My sister is tired and angry at her brother huh? I am sorry. I should have informed you but I didn't. Next time your bharta will never forget to inform you okay?" Dyumna kneeled down and made Draupadi sit.

"Umm. It's okay! But Queen Draupadi will forgive you only if her brother take her to the market and get me whatever I ask for. Including the fried pakoras. " Draupadi said pouting.

"Prince Dyumna will get you pakoras only if you promise him that you will not have more. Only one plate of pakoras shared by both of us. Okay?" asked Dyumna to her sister while Panchali happily agreed and hugged her brother.

"Putra, you are pampering her a lot. She's grown up. At least don't pamper her now." came their mother Sumathi's voice.

"Mata, even if she grows and will be a mother to many children, she will always be my baby sister!"

"And my baby daughter!" exclaimed Drupad from back and hugged his beautiful daughter. "Sumathi what do you have against my daughter huh? You will always be against our dearest!"

"Arya, not you too please! You both will always be pampering her and my tries for her to become a matured woman goes in vain! She has a family apart from us. She is also wedd-" Sumathi was stopped by her son.

"Draupadi, your friend Priya must be waiting for you right. You both had to go to the Shiv Mandir today. It's already late. Run quickly!" Draupadi soon ran to the garden where her friend was waiting.

Seeing that she's gone, Dyumna addressed his mother, "Mata, how many times have I told you not to pick her wedding topic up. You got her married in such a young age when she didn't know the meaning of it. You didn't even listen to me!"

"Do I not know what is good and what is bad for her? She's 24 now. It's high time she gets to know about her marriage and her husband. And it was the decision of both me and your father. We did it for the betterment of her life and the kingdom!" His mother replied back.

"Sumathi, both you and Dyumna are right. But let's not inform her now. Now it's time for the preparation of our putra's wedding. Check the arrangements for that and I will send the invitation to our neighbouring kingdoms. And leave the groom to be alone. He would have got letters from his bride and let's give him privacy!" Drupad said while smirking at the end.

"Pitashri!! You too huh? Everyone are already having fun teasing me. Including Draupadi. And now you have also joined them. Not fair!" pouted Dyumna.

"This is our chance to tease you and we surely will not miss the opportunity! And young man, you still haven't told your love story ahan!" said Sumathi now teasing her son.

"I have to check the training of the soldiers. Byee!" Dyumna said and ran away leaving his parents giggle in happiness.

At the Shiv Mandir,

"Priya, Mata tries to say something everytime but doesn't complete it. Bhrata Dyumna changes the topic. She tries to say something 'wed' and stops." complained Panchali.

"She must be thinking of your wedding Krishnaa! My mother has also started to search for grooms. Now only God should save us!" replied her friend Priya.

"For that we should go and pray not sit here gossip! Come now." chuckled Draupadi.

Priya reluctantly stood up and accompanied her friend. Panchali prayed, "Hey Mahadev, bhrata Dyumna's marriage has come near. Let every ritual go without any obstacle. And please let me get to know my answers soon. Please Bhagwan!"

"If you pray so much Krishnaa, the God will come in front of you and grant all your wishes." said Priya.

"That's what even I wish to Priya. Now stop your stupid talks and come with me. There are lots and lots of work and you are going to help me with that!" ordered Panchali. Priya followed Krishnaa as both of them gossiped on the way.

"Hey priye! You don't know how much I am missing you. Each and every second, I think of you and you alone. You are not leaving my mind and heart beloved! I will soon talk to my parents about our love! Love you so much Sangeetha! Yours, Arjun!" said Advaith as both he and his twin were enacting as Arjun and Sangeetha respectively.

"Hey Arjun! I am so glad I got the letter. I miss you too. But everything happens for good. No worries. We will wait. I am happy that you will be talking to your parents. Love you too Arjun! I miss you! Send my love and regards to your younger brothers too!" mimicked Advit and both the twins laughed for their own drama.

"Will you both shut up! I am trying to write the letter and you two are creating such a scene here. I did a wrong thing by telling about my love to you both. Now leave me alone and get lost!" said an angry Arjun.

"No! We will not go anywhere until you complete writing the letter to bhabhishri Sangeetha." chorused the twins.

"Youu!!" Arjun stood up to punch his brothers but was interrupted by his father's call. God and Luck was with the twins that day!

"Arjun! What are you doing here? Had I not informed you that the royal family of Anga are coming this evening? Your jyesht bhrata is coming and here you are about to slap my dearest sons!" said Pandu entering his room along with Kunti.

"Pitashri, you don't know what they were doing! They were disturbing me when I was wri-" stopped Arjun in the middle realising what he was about to tell.

"Continue bhratashri. What were you doing?" the twins asked innocently to which Arjun felt to kick them out today.

"You both must have been distracting my putra when he was reading a scroll or writing some important notes." Kunti said coming to Arjun's support.

"Haa. You are right mata. I was reading a scroll here and they were performing some drama. I couldn't concentrate on what I was reading!" lied Arjun as innocently as he could.

"Lie!!!" The twins chorused again with bewilderment. "Pitashri, bhrata Arjun is lieing. He was not reading any scroll." said Advaith.

Before Pandu could say anything, Kunti said, "Now enough of this. Your jyesht bhrata Karn is coming and you all are here discussing nonsense. Come now. Make the arrangements for their welcome!"

"What's there to make arrangements for. When they come, you will do their aarti. We gents don't have any work. We can relax till they co-" Pandu was interrupted by Kunti's deadly glare.

"Okay fine. Come dear sons. In the game of chess, the Queen is powerful than King. But only few of us know that it is the same in real life too." Pandu pouted sadly and followed his Queen.

The three brothers laughed at the statement of their father. Before Arjun could catch a hold of them, the twins ran away as fast as they could. Arjun then completed his letter and sent it through his messenger bird.

After a few hours,

Everyone were standing at the entrance of the palace with a wide smile on their faces. The royal family of Anga had reached Indraprasth and they would be there any moment.

And there they came in two chariots. Maharaj Adhirat and Maharani Radha in one and Yuvraj Karna in the other. The subjects of Indraprasth showered flower petals on them gesturing them their love and respect.

As soon as all three came down the chariots, they exchanged gestures and hugs. Kunti then did the aarti of all three.

"Pranipat kakashri. Pranam Kakishri." said Arjun, Advaith and Advit as they bent to take the blessings of Adhirath and Radha.

"Aayushman bhav putron! How are you all? All three of you have become so thin!" complained Radha as she caressed everyone's cheeks.

"Mata, they haven't grown any thin. They look fit and fine. Aren't you?" asked Karna to which all three of them nodded in agreement.

"Leave them Radha. They will not listen to me. But what happened to Karna. Even he has become lean. These days the kids won't take care of themselves and they will not let us take care of them!" complained Kunti.

"Mothers will be mothers!" murmured Arjun which made Karna and the twins chuckle.

"That's why parents will get them married at this age. As they would now listen to their wives. But now this Karn is not at all accepting to get married. You did a great job by getting Arjun mar-" Radha stopped feeling her husband clutch her hands tight.

"What were you saying kaki?" asked Arjun as he got alert. Even Karna was confused about what his mother was about to say and why she stopped in the middle.

"Nothing putra. She was just saying that you are mother's favourite. And you would definitely listen to her words unlike Karna." Adhirath managed to say.

"What unlike Karna huh? Am I not mother's favourite? Do I not listen to your words?" pouted Karna.

"No! If you were, you would have got married now!"declared Radha. Everyone laughed at Karna's pouted sad face. All went inside while Karna and Arjun went for a stroll in the palace gardens.

"Jyesht bhrata, do you know something about what Radha kaki was saying?" asked Arjun confused.

"No Arjun. Similar scenario had taken place before. I suppose they are hiding something from us and is not ready to reveal the truth!" answered Karna confused too.

"They won't tell us. At least, let me get the answers for it quickly. I am done with this hide and seek game where I am not able to seek anything. Everything's dark." replied Arjun praying.

"The darkness will soon disappear Parth. Your life will be lighted with my sakhi's flame. You both will get your answers soon my Parth and Sakhi!" smiled Krishna as he looked up at the sky from his chamber's balcony.

"Arya! You said something! What is it? Parth, sakhi...??" Rukmini asked her eyes twinkling.

"Yes Vaidharbhi. They will get their answers. A new life for both of them! My sakhi's life will get filled with my Parth's rain of love and my Parth's life will get more bright by my sakhi's flame!" answered Krishna.

"But will it be easy?" Rukmini asked to which she received a small smile and an order. "We have to go to Panchal Rukku. Dyumna's Wedding! Pack soon!" and left from the chamber.
