Arjun's POV,

Me, Jyesht bhrata and the monkeys were sitting in my room talking randomly and mainly about Sangeetha. Jyesht bhrata had also joined the monkeys team.

And here I am flushing at their remarks. God, give me the power to hide this red face of mine! As if the God heard my prayers, a maid came to the chambers telling that the King has asked all of us to come to the court room.

I am saved! Thank God! I had sushed them now as the soldiers were all along the way. They shouldn't hear these monkey's teasings which will become a big rumor in the kingdom.

We reached the court room to see it all silent. Each one were thinking something deeply. Is anyone attacking the kingdom? Or any threats? We 4 exchanged confused glances and jyesht bhrata finally asked, "Is everything okay?  Any danger?"

Coming out from their thinking all 4 elders exchanged glances and Mata Kunti came towards us. "No putra. There's no problem at all. We have to leave Indraprasth this evening."

"Leave Indraprasth? But why?" I asked.

"Panchal's Rajkumar Dhrishtadyumna's wedding is on it's cards. And both our kingdoms, are close allies of Panchal and they have given us a special invitation to come early. So, we have to leave this evening only!" said Pitashri.

"Oh okay..." I whispered. Feeling something fishy. And a part of my heart is saying me to go there but the stay will not be easy. Will there be some problem there? Will my life change from this travel?

"Arjun, come back to the real world!" Jyesht bhrata's words brought me back from my thoughts.

"Haa yes. Come we should pack!" I managed to say.

Evening,

We all had been travelling for few hours now. The sun had set and darkness had clouded the environment as well as my heart.

I am feeling something unusual today. Travelling had always been fun for me but this time it was not. My heart was fluttering with nervousness.

I was feeling tensed. My mind went to the thoughts of Sangeetha. Will this journey affect mine and her life? Will we be separated?

No, our love is not so weak to break. Hey Madhav, what's happening to me? You have answers to all my questions. And I am sure you have it for this too. Please help me Oh Lord!

"No, not this colour. Bring the yellow ones. Mata says it is auspicious. Dasi, bring all the petals to the palace. We have to decorate it there too. Dasi, you have left it half done and where have you gone? Complete it nah?" ran Panchali as she checked upon the preparations.

"Who told princess's life is easy? Yes, there a lot of maids but what's the use of them if they leave the work half done? How many times should I say them the same thing? Uff!" she continued.

"Please take some rest dearest princess of Panchal!" came a divine voice.

Panchali turned to see her sakha. "Govind!" she exclaimed.

Krishna giggled and came forward to her, "I thought you forgot me sakhi."

"How can I forget my first sakha huh? How are you? When did you come? Where is bhabhi Rukmini? Didn't she come? Why?"

"Arrey sakhi, calm down. How many questions will you ask at a time. At least give me an opportunity to answer. Hearing your continuous questions, I will faint..." Krishna dramatised as to faint.

"The entire Aryavart knows that you are a Drama King. Now stop your drama and answer my questions."

"Draupadi!" smiled Rukmini as she closed Krishnaa's eyes from back.

"Bhabhishri!" Draupadi turned as she hugged Rukmini who resiprocated it warmly.

"How is my little princess?" asked Rukmini as she carressed Draupadi's cheeks.

"I am very fine. How are you? Sakha seems to be not so good." Krishnaa chuckled.

"How will I be good if my Queen orders me every second. I should pity myself!" Madhusudan wiped an unseen tear.

"Sakha, don't resume your drama again! My bhabhi is a sweetheart! You would be the one who may boss her. Am I right Bhabhi?" Rukmini nodded.

Krishna rolled his eyes while the ladies laughed at him. "Laugh, laugh. Put false accusations on me and then laugh. My Parth is also coming. He will definitely support me when he reaches here!"

"Parth?" asked Panchali confused.

"Yes, the eldest prince of Indraprasth, the son of Queen Kunti and King Pandu, the boon of Indra Dev, Arjun!" Krishna answered as he walked forward leaving Draupadi still.

"Bhabhi? Do you know something about him. Prince Parth?"

"I suppose you are the only one who doesn't know him and his valour. You will get to know him soon. Now come inside." smiled Rukmini as she followed her husband.

"Parth...!" Yagyaseni murmured as she got lost in her thoughts.

Inside the palace, the courtroom,

"Maharaj, when will you tell Panchali about her marriage? Arjun and his family are coming to Panchal and if she doesn't know, what may happen?" questioned a tensed Rukmini.

"Thank God you said it putri. I have been telling him from so long. And no one listens to me in this palace!" grumped Sumathi.

"It was an unwanted marriage bhabhishri. She was just 3 years old when she got married to Arjun who was 5 years old. It would have made sense if they would have got me married. At least, I was 7 years old. Better than both of them!" Dhrishtadyumna rolled his eyes.

"Whom would you marry Dyumna? Dushala was not born at that time and how could you get married to Arjun or someone else... There are no other princesses except Dushala in  Hastinapura and Indraprasth!" winked Jagannath.

"Very bad joke bhrata. I meant some other kingdom's princess. They could have made an alliance with Hastinapura and Indraprasth later too."

"Then there would be less chances of you getting married to Samhitha putra. Would it have been okay?" asked Drupad who was silent all long.

"The topic got changed completely. Come to the main point now!" Dhrishtadyumna said.

"Even putra Arjun doesn't know about his marriage. Pandu had sent a letter saying that we shouldn't take up his marriage topic infront of him." said Drupad.

"We have to get Panchali married too. It's her right age. I was thinking to get her married weeks after Dyumna's wedding." coed Sumathi.

"Will there be time for everything? It would get difficult if we have it continuously Sumathi." said Drupad still thinking.

"What are we here for Maharaj? We are all a family. Dau and Revathi jiji will also be coming in a day or two. We all will join hands and do the preparations." said Rukmini.

"What do you say Kanha?" questioned Drupad.

"I agree with mata Sumathi. This is the right time Maharaj. Get my sakhi married officially to my Parth again!" announced Jagadodhara.
