Twelve years later in Indraprasth

Yudhisthir's P.O.V.

We were all in the raj sabha, a guard walked in kneeled

"Maharaj, a messenger from Dwarka has come to see you." said the guard

"Let him in." I said guard gave a nod stood up and left a messenger came in he handed a scroll to Sahadev, his eyes ran down the scroll reading it. He looked up sad

"What is it, Dev?" asked Nakul

"Erm... we need to talk alone. Parihar!" ordered Sahadev raising his hand

"What happened, Dev?" asked Bheem, Sahadev handed the letter to Nakul

"Invitation. We invite Indraprasth's raj Parivar for Yadav kumari Subhadra and Vrushali's vivah the Hastinapur rajkumar Duryodhan and Dushasan." he read it out loud

"We have to go." I said 

"But Bhratashree how will we be able to attend the vivah knowing Jyesht and Bhrata Jun love Subhadra and Vrushali?" asked Nakul a bit upset

"But we can't say no to go to the vivah." I said they nodded

"But Bhratashree, Panchali is garbhvati she is not in the condition to travel she needs us here." said Sahadev, I nodded

"You're right, Dev." I said

"Messenger!" I called the messenger from Dwarka came in

"Inform Bhratashree Balram that due to Panchali being garbhvati we won be able to come and tell him we said thank you for the invitation." I said, the messenger nodded

"Arya." we heard Panchali call we looked over the messenger's shoulder and saw, she walked over to us

"Arya, they're so many guards here I have saki Supriya here with me. I'll be fine. All of you can go carefree, I stay here." said Panchali, Bheem, Nakul, Sahadev and I exchanged looks

"are you certain, Panchali?" asked Nakul

"Yes, Arya." said Panchali

"A hundred per cent sure?" asked Nakul naughtily, Panchali shook her head

"Dasi!" she called a few dasis came in

"Make the arrangements for Maharaj and his bhaiyo to leave for Dwarka." she ordered 

Arjun's P.O.V.

Jyesht and I reached Dwarka's Somnath Temple

"Madhav, you had asked us to come to the Somnath temple to complete our penance. So, here we are." I said, Jyesht and I walked into the temple we saw a Shivling we gave our respects. We walked out and saw rishis meditating Jyesht and I sat down

"Kumar Duryodhan, Kumar Dushasan, this is the place," I heard Bhrata Balram say Jyesht and I and turned our heads to our right and saw Bhrata Balram, Duryodhan and Dushasan, Jyesht and I exchanged confused looks

"What do you think, Jun. Why is he here?" said Jyesht

"No clue, Jyesht. But I've got a feeling we'll find out soon

"where bhagavan Shiv had freed Chandra Dev from his curse. Ever since, we Chandravanchi while we deem Lord Somnath our Deity. Here in Dwaraka, all tasks take place methodically and ritualistically." said Bhrata Balram, he, Duryodhan and Dushasan walked past Jyesht and me without recognising us What are they doing here. I thought

"This way, Mamashree." we heard Madhav, Jyesht and I looked at the entrance we saw Madhav and Gandhar Raj He is her too?! I thought

"The puja of bhagavan Shiv will be conducted first by you." said Madhav, Gandhar Raj chuckled

"Why are you embarrassing me, Vasudev? High up in the sky in the region of Garud, no vulture can ever fly there. And I had been named by my revered father Maharaj Subal. Shakuni Arthat a vulture. So, how can I perform the puja before you?" said Gandhar Raj

"Why can you not, Mamashree? By having Duryodhan and Dushasan married with Subhadra and Vrushali," Madhav pushed I looked at him shocked Subhadra and Vrushali with Duryodhan and Dushasan how will they live in peace? I thought

"the idea of an alliance between the Kuru and Yadava was yours, was it not? Arthat a vulture can now dwell in the region of Garud quite freely." said Madhav, he looked at Jyesht and me joined his hands and gave a nod, Jyesht and I nodded smiled cheekily

"Mamashree, will you not pay your respects to the rishis present here?" asked Madhav, Gandhar Raj looked at the rishis

"I have heard... that paying one's respects to bhagwan Shiv's devotees makes bhagwan Shiv happier." Madhav said 

"Avashya! Avashya!" exclaimed Gandhar Raj, he slowly took the blessings of the rishis he touched Jyesht's feet I tried to control my laughter Jyesht raised his hands Gandhar Raj touched my feet I raised my hand Gandhar Raj turned away took a few steps and stopped he turned towards Jyesht and me again, he was struck we smiled at him joining our hands
