After departure of Satyabhama, Mitravindha and Lakshmana there was the effect of their words around Arjun. He had his reason to be bothered despite of possessing each virtue of being an inspiration to many conscientious hearts. There was an incident of past which was instigating his senses to visualize that as it had happened exactly at that time.
It was the time when he was in his gurukul days. He and his brothers were the happiest ones with the affection of Dronacharya. They were feeling the vibes of parental love with his company. Especially he was very fond of Arjun. Though Dronacharya was quite strict regarding discipline and code of conduct still his soft corner for Arjun was all evident to everyone.
Out of blue one day Ekalavya's secret came to front. Eklavya used to observe kuru princes' training session by hiding himself. After that he used to practice whatever he learned from each session and had acquired excellence.
Dronacharya didn't accept that treacherous act towards his teaching. So he had asked the left thumb of Eklavya as "Guru dakshina". But Kaurav brothers used to taunt Arjun for this by saying that Dron's action had the only one reason, his promise to Arjun to make him the best archer.
Arjun knew that wasn't the truth. Even Dronacharya had justified the cause to all his disciples once after knowing the rumours behind his back. From that day Arjun didn't hear any accusation from Kaurav brothers. But explanations can't be enough to change evil thoughts. Each time Arjun get praising from Dronacharya with his excellence, with his diligent dedication Kaurav brothers had reciprocated that moment with their mocking gesture.
There was a cold war going on each time without any interruption from Kaurav brothers's side. Dronacharya was also aware of it. But he didn't pay attention towards that over the peace of his gurukul. Even Pandav brothers used to ignore that calmly under care of Yudhishthir.
Memories continued to flash in Arjun's mind, and he was following that as a spectator. Suddenly a little louder voice made him detach from that flow. The owner of that voice was none other Subhadra who was standing in front of him with the plate of dinner.
He was pondering that if she asks something then what would he answer. But she didn't question. She started to arrange dinner, and he sat next to her quietly. She gestured him to start. Still his attention was over his bothering.
He was thinking that what must be Subhadra's opinion about the years long incident as she might have heard rumours about the nonexistent connection of him and Eklavya.
"What's making you feel uncomfortable?" She asked about the exact point making him astonished.
He was astonished that she caught his bothering right. He was feeling uncomfortable with the continuous disturbance of chaos from past which literally had no link with him, but still that was making him feel loaded with it's lavishness against his calmness.
"Can we conclude someone as culprit just because that person belongs to a favourable place?" He asked his worry indirectly, and of course wisely.
"Every stone of sea has it's own depth," Her answer increased his astonishment.
