COPING UP

I was sitting in my chambers with my thoughts. Thinking about what had come over me , why i have had those previous outbursts and emotional turmoil when Kanha came in. "I am proud of you Darshinika. Proud that you found out what was eating you inside. And said it all to Satyaki. I know it all now." "I am sorry. I behaved with you rudely. I shouldn't have...You must be angr..." "I can never be angry on you Darshinika. You are my love and you were not wrong. And we need to take our steps to prevent anything like this in the future."
"Arya" I called out to him for the first time. "Yes?" , he replied. "Is the war inevitable?" A lopsided grin formed in his face. "What war?" "Bhrata Karn said that when my brothers left they promised revenge. And warriors does not take revenge by homicide. They will take it by war And it will bring a lot of destruction and purify the Aryavart but still we will try to avert it. No war is good. Isn't it?" "Yes and what am I supposed to do now?", I asked. "Live." He started, "Live your life because you may not get the chance again." He said.

"I think I am ready to face the world now and therefore I want to take up the invitations that we have got." I stated to the council. And atlast they agreed. Many of our friendly kingdoms have invited us to their places on the ruse of honouring our wedding. The actual reason was to check this Yadu-Kuru alliance. To check whom the mighty Yadavas will side with in the war - The Pandavas or the Kauravas.

And I have decided that in this short span of thirteen years I would try my best to find acquaintances for my brothers' side.

Our first destination was my maternal kingdom Kuntibhoj and after that a few more kingdoms then we returned back to Dwarka. Holi was celebrated as a huge festival in Dwarka and thats what we had to prepare for now.

Meanwhile in the forest:
"Do you think she is still alive?" Nakul asked Arjun while arranging the wood for fire. "I don't think anything Nakul. I just keep hope now. I hope she is alive and doing well. There is no way of us knowing." Arjun replied his younger brother and between every word he said he felt a sharp pang in his chest reminding him of his sister. "Won't she send us a message or something?" , Nakul enquired. "No. She would know that it may give up our cover." " But there is no need of hiding now, is there? Cause we are in vanvas now not the agyatvas." "But still we need to hide brother. They are cunning people they will try to increase the span of our exile anyhow. Now lets go the others must be waiting. And the two brothers walked in to the sunset.
