Nature, not only has vast territory but has tenderness also along with it. This attract human tendencies towards itself affectionately, for making them affirm the greatest grace of almighty, for making them afford what they deserve for themselves, peace, with the pace of gradual healing.

Subhadra was always fond of this fact about nature. She comes to garden whenever she gets free time. Even she used to stroll in garden in midnight despite of strolling with her brothers before sleep. Occasionally she gets alone time during her midnight stroll as she doesn't feel like to insist anyone to join her at that time.

After that day of afternoon when she had sensed Goddess Parvati worshipping Lord Shiva, her spiritual mind used to witness that scene with a easy flow. But the flow wasn't able to proceed forward from the point where her concentration got interrupted. She wasn't able to be connected with the next move of Goddess after she closed her eyes in front of shivling. Her interrupted concentration needed an influence to come back to the track.

Believing to get that influence from nature she used to have midnight strolls alone. It had been since a week to continue her on this way.

"Won't I get any answer today also?" She asked to stars which were the silent spectators recording the events of night attentively.

"Maybe no," She thought to herself and sat on the grass which was nourished by the nectar of night, water droplets.

The moist sensation soothes her always irrespective of gain and grief, loss or lavish attainments. She was always find this adorable to absorb in her nerves. She closed her eyes to be engrossed. Suddenly she felt wind was whirling her senses with a subliminal pace.

She opened her eyes to find a known charming face with smile, the smile to which she feels belonged, belonged as the one like no other one.

"Why are you here, Princess?" Arjun asked with concern making her reciprocate him with smile.

"I wasn't feeling sleepy. I feel to be like here. That's why came," She answered indicating him to have a seat beside her.

"It's not the first time. I have noticed your late night strolling before today also. I don't think that there's lack of care to drive you into sleep," He stopped to get her response over his statements.

"He noticed me before also! I can't tell him lie now. I know he stopped to get my answer, and indirectly he put forward his question too," She took a short gap to be sure about her move.

"Actually I am stuck somewhere. Being stuck makes peace suffocated too," She also answered him indirectly yet closed to clearance.

"Indirect indication for my indirect gesture! Indeed she's so perfect in reciprocation. I always praise fine reciprocation, not only in the exchange of arrows but also in exchange of each affiliation of life. I will have great time with her in my life," He took a bit more time than her with his thoughts as he couldn't prevent himself to imagine future with her.

"Why you became silent?" Her question made him leave the side of his imagination.

"I was thinking of solution. According to me you shouldn't stress over this matter with your usual attempts. Something different needs to be tried on. Drive yourself on some other path which must has a straight way for your steps. Like this you may get your fluency back towards the flow," He explained making her eyes twinkle as if new stars appeared on her eyeballs other than sky.

"So suitable solution. I will go for it surely," Her happy tone was ringing inside him more than it's actual frequency.

"Will you try it now?" He asked making her node instantly.

"No place can be better than nature to execute new trials and to experience possible tactics along with that," She confirmed making him encourage her through eyes.

She closed her eyes again. She decided to go through the past few days of her life, the incidents and their phrases followed by. Her mind started to go back on the day when she returned from kanyakul.

Her first meeting with her family, the way she received welcome from them, the hailing in her name from subjects brought a smile on her lips. Arjun knew that it will take time for her to complete the session. So he also thought to go back to the days of his struggle regarding his feelings for Subhadra.

He doesn't remember clearly when he heard about her for the first time. But still the sensation is as it is inside himself when first time her name hit at the sphere of his audibility. He had felt a sense of belonging towards her name, dedication had settled in his heart for her name. He didn't consider that seriously as he thought it must be because she's Krishnashika, an inseparable part of Kanha. So her name was influencing him, inculcating it's effect inwards, at a depth of his heart which he hadn't discovered yet by himself.

Both were proceeding ahead with the flow of past incidents in their subconscious minds. She was immersed in the happy days after her returning, and was enjoying each fraction while he was reliving his days of yearning in her name.

He smiled remembering how he used to think about her amidst of his schedule. For the first time he had imagined her during his practice. He had thought how it would feel if Subhadra will be waiting for his practice to be completed. He was shocked at himself that why did he do that.

After that day he used to imagine her presence around himself frequently. He tried to control to this, but no gain. Sometimes he got teased by Nakul for his inattentiveness, got scolded by Bheem for his weird actions, and the suspicious stares of Sahdev! How could he even forget that! He was having high time in front of Sahdev in fear that what if he would predict something!

Not only this even Yudhishthir's soft serene stares also had made him realize that he wasn't unaware of his younger brother's sudden attitude change. The most amused fact about the situation was he had felt ecstatic over his earnings as those were emphasizing her as the reason. He didn't bother to give his feelings a name as he was lost in the bliss brought by name the "Subhadra".

He still remember the day when he had imagined her in front of him after getting up in morning. He never had experienced any day energetic like that day, that too without initiating his schedule of yoga and practice. From there he had concluded that his actions of imagining Subhadra around himself weren't wrong. Because he had believe on himself that the early hours of morning he had passed sincerely towards self discipline could never betray him. From that day he had given up his attempts to control his feelings.

He wasn't sure whether his feelings had any destiny or not. He never had given a thought on this initially. But the least he was wishing to meet her someday. He kept wondering over the argues his mind and heart used to put forward occasionally.

His mind used to urge him to accept the fact that his feelings were like the monsoon expected at desert, only  mean to give a never ending wait, and at last to be replaced by the woe of lifetime gradually. Whereas his heart used to counter that if he has nothing to get then why his feelings aren't going away from him despite the possibilities aren't in favour.

"Go with your heart, not the havoc of your heart," His conscience had suggested him which he had followed throughout the years from the time of realisation till end of the rigorous path before meeting her.

On the other hand Subhadra also has reached till the day when they both met for the first time. Now both Arjun and Subhadra were standing at the same place after going through their respective flows of incidents. Wind has lessened it's pace to confirm what it should do in respect of that moment when two lovers were standing next to each other through the tunnel of their thoughts.

Deciding to present them the best happening of the moment the wind started to speed up it's pace insisting delight and delicacy to join with. As a result some night blooming jasmine fall around them. The fragrance started it's part of pulling them close to each other. Subhadra bent her head over Arjun's shoulder slowly being responded by the sense absorbing smell. He too put his head over her head.

Now they were witnessing their journey from beginning. Their first meet, the feeling of that day, the hurdles they faced  stepping towards each other and how they crossed them together. Arjun's feeling was well defined by his heart while Subhadra was still far from realisation. So when the intense vibes of his feeling touched her she shivered.

In subconscious state also he sensed that and normalised the intensity of his longing about which he was thinking with a promise to love her immensely. She felt a comfortable warmth after that. That provoked her to grab that warmth more. So she snuggled more on his shoulder in trance, trance of the warmth which was new yet nourishing, worth to create a new definition of both tenderness and temptation.

He too allowed her and made himself lean in favour of her move. Both the  lovers were cherishing the moment, the current moment being captured by instance which was awaited from long.

Present moment is the best, even better than the future which allures us with probabilities. When we have peace at present and possibilities of pleasure ahead of that then it would be more acceptable to access the peace which we are holding. That they were doing with care yet being carefree.

So readers, here's the next part.
