Each scheduled life needs a break, to refresh the spirit which somehow develops a coating of rust over itself after a certain time period. Each sensible person should be aware of this fact as of queens of Dwarka who were enjoying their time being away from responsibilities temporarily.

Normally queens don't get the opportunity to visit subjects frequently unlike king. More than outer administration the inner administration of palace has it's demands near queens which they must need to attend on. After all internal affairs of palace doesn't hold less importance in comparison to external ones and Subhadra had proved this fact by choosing home department as the area of her skill execution.

So the wise queens of Dwarka had found out this way to be connected with subjects avoiding the distractions of their routine inside palace.

Satya had chosen a remote area from main town as it's long they had preferred this kind of area. Residents had arranged place for them. They were living in tents, one tent is shared by two persons. As township was on the way of progress in that rural area luxury of urbanisation wasn't available there much.

Everyone was praising Satya for her choice. There was a moderately dense forest nearby, along with that a mountain and some shallow water falls at little distance. Kalindi and Subhadra had started to train the residents how to convert that place into a tourist spot with less effort. The duo were spending most of their time in sapling planting and over the ideas of beautification of that place.

Rukmini, Revati, Jambavati were looking after domestic wellbeing of the residents. Mitravindha and Nagnajiti were indulged with economic perspective. Bhadra, Satya and Lakshmana were supervising health and sanitation. After working hours queens used to spare time in entertainment arranged by female folks.

On the other side Kanha and Arjun were having their buddy time with each other. They used to relive memories through reminiscence. After Kanha Pradyumn used to spend time with him along with his younger brothers. Kids got well bonded with Arjun through his stories of adventures he pulled up in the years of exile. In other words he got a new friends group which never occurred in his life so far.

One fine day Arjun was lost in thoughts, a chorus of greetings made him smile with it's first vibe in air.

"Come in, Boys" He told to his new friends who were standing quietly outside of his hut after greeting him.

"Take you seats. What happened to all of you? Why are you all looking gloomy?" His question didn't get any response, to which he decided to wait before repeating his questions to them.

"Actually we all got scolding for our jungle adventure," Sambh answered in brief.

"Jungle adventure!" Arjun exclaimed.

"Yes, jungle adventure. Actually Sambh had heard pitashri and you were mentioning some sneak outs," Saying this Bhanu lowered his eyes as the act was indecent.

"Sorry, I didn't intend to," A quick apology came from Sambh's side.

"We thought to give sneak out a try. But we didn't plan to go inside forest. We were just roaming in city," Nishant took the lead of narration.

"Then how you all reached at forest?" Arjun asked making them staring at each other.

"We thought to extend the adventure of our first ever outing. So," Ulmukh told this much as his brothers pushed him forward to share some words.

"It's fine, Guys. Childhood is the age of curiosity. Many thoughts tempt to give those a try. But every instinct should be inspired by a good control," Boys smiled at Arjun making him smile too.

"You are too understanding. You consoled us. It's so nice of you," Bhanu thanked Arjun.

"Nishant, what are you murmuring?" Arjun asked to him who was busy with his own task.

"I was remembering what you told by repeating it to myself. It was too philosophical. If any day I will be trapped in any difficulty then I can impress the person in front with these words," Everyone laughed out while Arjun caressed Nishant's head out of affection.

"Please suggest some way to calm down jyeshth," Sambh urged with urgency in his voice.

"We already got the way. Let's told what I was repeating to myself and we will ask forgiveness at the end. We asked forgiveness just simply. No impressing fact was there. That's why it didn't cause any impact," Before Arjun could answer Nishant suggested this.

"You are absolutely correct," Bhanu supported it at first place.

"Yes, let's go with it," Sambh too agreed instantly.

"Guys, attempt of getting forgiveness should be from heart," Arjun's statement stopped their vibes of excitement.

"We had tried for it. But nothing came out," Ulmukh stated sadly.

"An act is considered to be wrong if we keep it as a secret. But we will tell about this incident to our bua maa," Nishant who suggested the way came forward again.

"Absolutely, we can afford to share this matter to her only and it's totally safe for us too," Bhanu squealed at his place making Sambh stumble due to that sudden act as they both were standing close to each other.

"So, now permit us to take leave. We need to settle our chamber before our mothers arrive, or else we will land into trouble," Ulmukh told on behalf of everyone, to which Arjun nodded.

"By the way there's only two days left for their return. Isn't it?" Bhanu asked while going out.

"Yes, brothers. Let's speed up or pace. We have so much mess to deal with," Sambh told in a guiding tone.

"Two days! After two days, I can meet her and I can calm her too who is my calmness itself," He whispered to himself engrossed in the imagination of upcoming moments.

At Hastinapur:

Shakuni's eyes were glued to a letter. The of length of letter wasn't the cause of holding his attention up but the content was. He was caressing the words of the letter in between. At that time Duryodhan made his entry.

"Mamahri, what's so special about this letter that you are seeming differently thoughtful?" He asked while taking his seat.

"This letter is from Gandhar," He told in short as he needed sometime to compose himself.

Shakuni was burning in the fire of revenge, wait along with it his assumed insult too. Being away from his motherland had provoked his evil motives of destruction of Kuru clan each time, vigorously.

He had assumed his sister's marriage to a blind person was an offence towards his kingdom, his royalty. That had not only gripped his heart, but also it had become the vibes of his heartbeat which intensity was his all time companion.

When Bhism had proposed Gandhari's marriage with Dhritarashtr there was no way to deny him. Both political and social cause had acted as pressurising factors at that time. Gandhar would haven't able to win over Hastinapur, it was so certain.

Moreover after denying proposal from such a prestigious person like Bhism that too being the queen to kuru clan would have created difficulties in getting good alliance for Gandhari. Because Hastinapur had numerous allies over Aryavrat and no one would have chosen to go against Hastinapur.

The helplessness he had felt at that time while accepting that proposal was unforgettable for him. That was alive in his heart, invoking the flame of pledge to return his helplessness as havoc to Kuru clan which will harvest the end of their happiness.

"Mamashri, are you out of this world?" Duryodhan asked to Shakuni who went back to the pages of past.

"I am here itself. I was thinking that you did hurry in revealing our plan to Bhanumati," Shakuni expressed his disagreement over the move he didn't expect to enter into their plan.

"Is it so? But she has right to know about this plan as this plan is going draw new lines in my family life," Duryodhan countered Shakuni's complain.

"Yes, she has right to know. But till now we didn't take our step towards execution. We aren't even sure about the outcome," The uncertainty in Shakuni's voice gained Duryodhan's concern.

"Are you feeling that there are negative chances for our plan?" Duryodhan questioned bringing back the evil smile of Shakuni.

"In planning there's no place of assumptions. More than the chance of gaining we should focus on the chance of loosing. It keeps us cautious. It ensures our success, my dear," Duryodhan remain silent to give a thought on Shakuni's words.

"But Bhanu didn't oppose, Mamashri," Duryodhan told breaking silence.

"I knew she won't. But her silence isn't her support. Leave it. Soon your training is going to be completed. Till now everything went finely. Now it's time for final step. We need to approach Mahamahim Balram in a way that he had to approve our proposal," The duo shared evil smile with the confidence of victory.

Somewhere the phrase of waiting was about to meet it's worthiness and on the other hand evilness was preparing to present a problem afterwards. It can be proved as a pole of solution too. Maybe the path over it would be stumbling, but would stop at a point of beautiful completion.
