After explaining the half truth to Jambavati and Nagnajeeti Subhadra went out of kitchen to avoid the addition of questions to their interacting session. The guilt of making excuse in name of Arjun for escaping was glued to her heart. Though whatever she said wasn't false still that was not the actual answer to her sister in laws' question.

She went to Arjun, and she thought that before her confession he can't sense her seriousness. But she was unaware of the fact that the eyes from which she was hiding her reason of being distress were all dedicated towards her with reverence in a way that can never fail in recognising the framing up of her feelings.

"Princess, the heat of food isn't cooled down even a bit," Arjun's statement actioned Subhadra's worry.

"I checked food. It has moderate heat. Till now it should have cooled down a bit more to the suitable level," Saying this she checked the food, and found that he was saying right.

Then she remembered that in hurry she didn't let food cooled down a bit after serving in plate. She moved from kitchen immediately after arranging food in the plate. As she used to check food everyday she told him that food has moderate heat out of inattentiveness. She started to fanning the food, and he finished his meal peacefully.

"Why are you this much distressed?" He asked her looking straight into her eyes which she moved from eye contact.

"If we feel hesitate to be opened about anything which is disturbing the peace of our heart then what should we do?" She asked to him before disclosing the whole matter.

She was scolding herself mentally for asking him the question despite of being sure about the fact that she needs to say him truth. She has decided it. But a part of her was pulling her back to admit the truth that yesterday night she came to him, to check upon him, and couldn't able to prevent her care to caress his hairs.

She has touched him. What will he think about herself after her confession? What kind of image will be created about her deed in his mind? Her thoughts lessened the distance of sky over her head. She was feeling tormented with the heaviness of her thoughts.

"If we are hesitated with a fact then we should consider our feelings towards the person with whom the fact is related," Arjun's words has erased the much portion of worry lines from Subhadra's forehead.

"Princess, bravery isn't in expressing the truth. Real bravery is holding up the emotions of relationship with revelation. Because first one can be done straight. But second one can't be done simply. Confidence only navigates bravery. But believe nurtures bravery," Subhadra turned her face towards Arjun for looking into his eyes with his this explanation.

She saw assurance in his eyes. That assurance was conveying her to be opened up. She was exploring deep into his eyes. The depth was making her drown with a different kind of delight which was washing over her delicately.

She pulled back by her senses after sometimes. Her bravery which was bound with hesitation found believe in his eyes. Then she revealed the incident to him.

"So I became a part of your night sneak out!"  He exclaimed, to which she hummed a bit embarrassingly.

"Then I am really fortune enough by being a contributing factor in it," His teasing tone made her tongue tied.

"Princess, are you sure that you narrated everything to me without skipping anything?" He teased her with his smile.

Subhadra told him only about her coming to him. She didn't admit that she caressed her hairs. Arjun asked that question to make her sense about that moment. Because he wanted to witness her facial expressions regarding that.

"Yes, I told you everything. Even I disclosed my bhratashri's trick to you which leaking out will be terrible for him," Slight playfulness was ringing in her voice denying her criteria of discipline.

"This slight playfulness of yours even mirroring Madhav which is gracing my heart with solace," He thought himself.

Watching him being thoughtful Subhadra took advantage of that, and murmured her leaving message quickly. When his attention caught her leaving sight he chuckled over that heartily.

Kanha, who was aware of the scenario also chuckled along with his Parth forgetting that dau was discussing about an administrative matter to him.

"What's so funny in my words that you are laughing, Kanha?" Dau threw an angry glare.

"You should be happy with my happy gesture, Dau. Happiness should be embraced tight," Kanha's Playful reply made dau shook his head with the thought that Kanha's actions should be questioned less to avoid unwanted affection of tensions.

Kanha also reciprocated with a look of "let me see the strength of your this statement".
