(16) THE BET

Arjun was about to leave. But the sight caught his attention subconsciously at first made him surprise horribly. He saw Subhadra was having his white upper stole wrapped around both of her hands in style of shawl as an extra cloth piece along with dupatta on her shoulder. He proceeded towards her astonishingly.

"It's my upper stole. How did you get this, Sakshi?" Arjun asked with astonishment.

"Are you sure that it's your upper stole, Sakha?" Subhadra asked eyeing over a slight left of Arjun.

"Yes, I am damn sure. It's mine." Arjun replied.

"But how can you claim that it's yours? White attires look almost similar, and white colour doesn't have that much shades also." Subhadra asked playing with the edge of that upper stole.

"You are right, Sakshi. White colour doesn't have that much shades like other colours. Varieties give us ample options to choose the best among them. But in that process varieties clash with each other. A competition occur in between them. Feeling of content evaporates gradually. Varieties arise confusion also followed by crowd later while content has calmness as a follower. White colour is the epitome of content and calmness. Now you say won't identification in calmness be easier than in crowd?" Subhadra was all totally mesmerized with his deeply meaningful word. His expression of eyes along with each word was adding a charm of another level to him.

Subhadra was in her world, and admiring Arjun. But her trance broke by the complaining voice of Nakul.

"Bhrata Arjun, what you did? Do you know in which trouble you put down me?" Nakul complained with disappointment while Subhadra broke into laughing.

A teasing smirk was present along with the melodious laughing of Subhadra. Arjun got confused after witnessing that while Nakul left from there stomping his feet on ground. Arjun gave a look of "What's all these going, and can i get an explanation?". Subhadra understood that, and gestured all to leave. All left from there along with Lalita.

Subhadra gestured Arjun to sit beneath a tree, to which Arjun nodded. They both sat.

"I know your questions, Sakha. Let me explain you from beginning." Subhadra said, and Arjun looked attentively.

Flashback :

Yesterday evening after getting freshen up Subhadra was roaming briskly through corridors. There she saw Nakul. Both greeted each other. Subhadra narrated how Arjun helped in choosing the best among preferred options during her shopping. After hearing that Nakul laughed.

"Why are you laughing, Bhrata? " Subhadra asked all surprised.

"I didn't have idea that bhrata Arjun can make appreciating choices also." He said still laughing in between.

"Why do you think so, Bhrata?" Subhadra asked in curiosity.

"Because bhrata Arjun don't have any touch with shades of colours. He prefers only white." He answered suppressing his laugh.

"What's in that, Bhrata? Everyone has a unique prospective of choice. That doesn't signify that they would be totally lame in others' prospective." Subhadra countered casually.

"Ohh! Then let me prove it. I will give you a pair of upper stole of bhrata Arjun. I bet you he can't identify that." Nakul challenged.

"Ok, but if you would lost the challenge then you would have to instruct the designs of mehndi for royal ladies in the upcoming mehndi function." Subhadra put the condition smilingly.

"It's not gonna happen that I would lose. But still I agree with your condition." Nakul also reciprocated Subhadra's smile.

Flashback Ended

After the completion of narration Subhadra found Arjun laughing whole heartedly. She got lost again, and Arjun shook her hand to get her back to present. Then they both chatted for sometimes, and departed for their rest of schedule. That day passed away with preparations in ensuring the smooth happening of ceremony.

Evening Time :

In ceremony Nakul was having hard time to have a relaxing breath while instructing the designs of mehndi for Devki, Rohini and Revti. It's won't be wrong to state that he was struggling badly to accomplish his task. Kanha, Arjun and Subhadra was having fun while witnessing this.

"Bhrata Nakul, you are an expert advicer of beauty tips. Now why are you stumbling in this art of beautification." Subhadra asked while chuckling.

"Nakul your naive try is having it's reflection in mehndi designs of both kakis and Revti bhabhi. At least don't repeat that with Rukmini bhabhi for God shake. She's the bride. She should look the best." Arjun commented while suppressing his outburst of laugh.

"Bhadra, I am just an advicer of beauty tips, and this task is an art as you said. I am not an artist, and bhrata Arjun if you are that much worried for bridal look of Rukmini bhabhi to be best then why don't you instruct the design of her mehndi?" Nakul countered to both Arjun and Subhadra.

"Rukmini bhabhi should be adored with choice of Madhav. He will instruct design for her." Arjun said smilingly looking at Kanha.

"You can't escape like this, Bhrata Arjun. You questioned my try. So now you need to demonstrate your skill in that." Nakul stated with a teasing smirk.

"But all are done na?" Arjun expressed his question.

"Bhadra still didn't apply mehndi. So you can instruct for her, Parth." Kanha joined with Nakul, and all started shouting for Arjun to do that.

Arjun nodded by being defeated, and instructed the design of mehndi for Subhadra.
