Arjun had figured out the trap behind the war which was supposed to happen in Kaling. But he couldn't reach to the reason. He was wondering over the fact that why the king of Sindh faked attacking over Kaling. Yes, that war wasn't going to happen from side of Sindh.

Kaling is a small kingdom in comparison to Sindh, and is adjacent to the Sindh's territory. Sindh used to capture the small adjacent states to it forcefully. It was Kaling which raised strong voice against of this monopoly of Sindh. It asked support of other kingdoms in name of morality. The captured kingdoms was highly inspired with that move of Kaling. They tried collaborative force, and along with that Hastinapur, Kashi, Madra, Dwarka also joined to that force.

As a result king of Sindh gave up. He apologized everyone for his peace disturbing act. Past scenarios came to Arjun's mind. He was trying to move ahead with the clue related to previous incidents. His focus was marching in the area of deep analysis. Suddenly Kunti enter to his study.

"Why are you so tensed, Arjun?" Her affectionate hand was running through his curls in soothing manner.

"Mata, I was stuck in between a riddle. But your touch soothed me, and revived strength out of tiredness." Arjun replied while surrendering himself to her soothing care.

"Arjun, Subhadra is seeming so changed. She remains so silent. Her interaction left the side of cheerfulness." Kunti voiced out her worry while taking a pause in caressing his hairs.

"I am also surprised with her this kind of behaviour, mata. The day she got to know about the cancellation of war in Kaling, she was not like that Subhadra which she used to be." He also told matching the pace of her worrying tone.

"Did you talk to her regarding this, Putra?" Her question answered by a deep sigh at first.

"I asked about her bothering. But she replied me each time that she's fine. So I decided to give her a little space to cope up with her inner seriousness." He smiled slightly to make her relax a bit.

"Don't worry, Arjun. Tomorrow Nakul is returning along with Karenumati, the princess of Kaling. Both Subhadra and Karenumati are friends from Kanyakul. Her arrival will bring back Subhadra's cheerfulness for sure." Kunti brightened her smile to assure him.

"Hope so, mata. Nakul and Renu are childhood friends. I believe that no one can be serious around Renu. She won't let anyone also." Arjun chuckled a bit in remembrance of all of their childhood days.

At Gandhar:

"Stop, give the plate to me." Duryodhan ordered to the maid who was leaving chamber with plate of dinner after Bhanumati's denying.

"Why you denied to dinner? How could you be careless like this when two unborn lives are depending upon you?" Duryodhan showed care for her in a bit disinterested way. That too only for their unborn children.

"Why should I take the responsibility of parenthood alone?" Bhanumati shot question in the same manner by following him.

"Alone! What do you mean? That I don't care about my children! For your kind information I am supervising your daily schedule by siding portions of my schedule." His sarcasm sounded in air making her threw a mocking glare.

"Yes, you are right. You are taking care of our needs, not of our nourishment. If you had really cared about our children then you would have rectified your self, you would have changed the reason of your life which is creating rift in between us." She was controlling her emotions by lessening the pace of her words.

"Listen, I am behaving nicely for providing a pleasant atmosphere to you. Because would be mother needs to be happy all the time." Bhanumati gulped to suppress the chock of her voice.

"You are thinking about my pleasure. What about my peace? Don't the would be mother need to be stress free? Peace has way more importance than pleasure." She told in a hope of convincing him with which she try each time.

"I don't wanna argue with you. Have dinner, and go to sleep." Saying this he went out of chamber by filling her eyes with tears.

"Don't worry, my babies. Your pitashri isn't evil. He is just engulfed by evilness." She told while caressing her womb.

Next day Nakul came with Karenumati, and received heartily welcome. Subhadra was smiling wholeheartedly. Arjun was reciprocating that in with admiration.

"Bhrata, I think I lost my place to Bhadra. Because I was the first girl whom you used to admire from childhood." Karenumati said dramatically.

"It's not, Renu. I can't admire anyone like I do to you." Arjun chuckled over her antic.

"Bhrata, admire you, so that you won't be sad. But truth is that you are a girl picking anger on your nose. For being beautiful sensitivity is also needed. But you have severe madness in that place." Nakul laughed over his comment.

Karenumati was going to counter. But before that Kunti ordered everyone to come inside. Karenumati threw a look of "Next time be ready for my move accompanied by your misery." Nakul responded with a look of "Let's see".
