Next morning with the entry of sun rays to tent, Subhadra felt a warm hug tightening around her. She opened her eyes to see Arjun burying his face in her neck because of the troubling appearance of sun rays. She started stroking his hairs, and felt him smiling against her skin.

"He must be tired." She whispered, and smiled.

Flashback :

"Bhadra, be a good girl, and Have dinner." Arjun said in a loving tone.

"I won't. I am tired, Arya, and wanna sleep." Subhadra said in a half sleepy tone to make Arjun believe and accept her saying.

"Have dinner. Then you will sleep only." He said while placing the plate of food near by.

"Ok, fine. I will have. But if I won't feel sleepy after this then you have to make me sleep. So, agree?" He nodded at her asking.

They fed each other, and completed the dinner. After that Subhadra had a huge grin on her face.

"What happened now, Bhadra? Sleep. You were tired na!" He asked, and in response got his wife's giggling.

"Now I am not sleepy. Because the affect of tiredness had gone with the way you fed me." The giggling again continued after her saying.

"Madhav said right. Subhi isn't a person to be convinced after she obeyed the thing which is opposite to her wish." He murmured slowly which made her put all the strength of her ears to get his words audible.

"What are you saying, Arya? It's time to keep your promise. Now go ahead for keeping your words." The narrowed glare made him sighed.

He started caressing her hairs in order to make her sleep. But she was staring at him teasingly. He asked her "what" through eyes. She answered with a childish look.

"Why suddenly this childish look, Subhi?" He asked her with raising one of his eyebrow.

"If you are getting the childish gesture means your goal can be achieved in that way, Arya." She said only to witness the glow of figuring out the riddle on his face.

Then he carried her in his arms, and make her having a night stroll.

Flashback ends:

"Arya, wake up. We need to start journey. We will meet family today." Subhadra tried her attempt genuinely.

"Please a little more time, Subhi." He mumbled in sleep.

Subhadra couldn't deny his affectionate urging, and continued caressing his hairs. She closed her eyes to capture the feel of their closeness. But suddenly she felt movement of shiver from her head to toe when Arjun slided his head from her neck to her chest.

The ecstacy had sealed her lips up for uttering any word. She was just feeling his loving touch over her skin. His gentle kisses on her cleavage were driving away her senses from this world. But suddenly a sweet moan with pleading to stop came out from her mouth when he increased the pace of kissing.

"Arya, you are troubling your innocent wife from morning itself!" An expected complain made Arjun smirk.

"Correction, Subhi. It's not innocent. It's not so innocent." Arjun grinned.

"Don't talk to me." Subhadra huffed, and drew eyes in opposite direction.

"Yeah! In love more than words, the actions should be taken to make your partner feel. So talking isn't needed basically." With this saying he approaching to kiss her lips.

"Arya, we're getting late in real, and it's not time for all this also." She excused about time to stop him.

"Ohhhh! Is there any specific time for all these? Actually I don't know." A loud laugh made Subhadra's mouth hang open as she remembered her answer to him about prank of drowning in river.

"Looks like my queen prefers a leisure time in love making rather than in hurry." Her teased face was making him laugh more.

She hitted his shoulder lightly, and went out from bed when he was faking to be hurted by closing his eyes.

"It's unfair." He said in disappointment.

"Not so." She said, and ran away.

At Gandhar :

"Spies properly alerted or not to collect all information of Vasudev's journey." A serious voice raised on the messenger.

"Yes, Maharaj. All are alerted." The messenger answered with lowering his gaze.

"If any mistake will occur then let them know not to expect forgiveness from me." The wicked voice of Shakuni made that messenger shiver.

Duryodhan entered there, and the messenger left from there after greeting him.

"Why are you troubling yourself and those spies also, Pitashri? What's need to keep check on Vasudev's journey? You are behaving like the guide who runs after tourists for their livelihood." A mockery filled laugh made Shakuni close his one eye in anger.

"Don't laugh like idiots. Keep checking on Vasudev's journey is important. Because he had gone to kulguru of Yadav clan." Sakuni told in anger suppressed voice.

"So what if he had gone to maharishi Garg?" Duryodhan's careless asking provoked Shakuni's irritation.

" Sometimes I wonder that how can you show foolishness to this extent? Maharishi Garg is only one who knows all about Subhadra, and her potentials as he himself made her horoscope. We just know a general fact about her that she's the one who can make the dream of achieving our target true. Other than this nothing. We need to know all." Shakuni said only to notice the careless smirk from Duryodhan.

One the other side Arjun and Subhadra reached at Hastinapur in evening. The whole city was decorated lavishly to welcome the queen. Lightening lamps on earth and crakers on sky were showing the perfect match and complimenting each other. The showering of flowers was reflecting the respect of subjects, and the admiring glances were proving the free bonding of them with their king.

After reaching at the palace gate Subhadra welcomed by lady who introduced to her as Gurumata later. After that couple took blessing of kulguru and and gurumata. Then proceeded towards queen mother Kunti.

Her eyes got teary after seeing her son and daughter in law. Two protective palms rised up to wipe her tears before they fall beneath her chin. Kunti's gaze which was softened with wetness before few times became brighten with joint hug of Arjun and Subhadra.

Arjun gestured Subhadra to go with Kunti, and she nodded. He went to kulguru along with Nakul who was standing there at a little distance.

"Finally the long wait ended, and the blessing of Narayan came in form of our queen." Kulguru told by looking at fading figure of Subhadra.

" Yes, Kulguru. Now I need to do my part to make the happening on it's way." Arjun concluded with determined look.

"So it's time to take queen there, and make her feel familiar with the positivity first. Then only she can hold up herself when she will face the pain." Kulguru adviced, to which Arjun's face wore a deep analytic expression.

"It would be so soon for her, Kulguru. At first she needs to be familiar with the all feelings which were connected to that place once upon a time." He said while kulguru showed an agreed look.

He made his way from there followed by Nakul. After entering into chamber Arjun noticed Subhadra was sitting on the swing by closing her eyes with a peaceful smile.

That made Arjun drown in thoughts.

"I have duties to safeguard your happiness. But here I myself is the initiator of the term which will lead you face and feel pain. But I promise that I will be there by your side even if when you would turn your face from me. Your misconception will come just a testing phrase for us, and meant to go only. But still it will hurt you, and I can't do anything much despite of knowing this obvious fact." Arjun said to himself, to compose his normal behavior before going near Subhadra.
