The Fateful Evening Part l

Untitled Part 3

Kunti took Draupadi to the backyard and made her light up Diya.

Kunti smiled at Arjun and he smiled back.

Draupadi could not help thinking about his mesmerising smile.For a moment she drowned in ecastacy caused by Arjun's bewitching smile. Kunti looked at her love lorn expression. She sighed with desperation and guilty feeling. She was not a fool to not see the blossoming love of Draupadi for Arjun. But she can not do anything to fulfil her love. Since the birth of her sons , she very well knew who would be the flag bearer of the pandava clan. She reminisced the prediction at the time of Arjun's birth. It is crystal clear that apart from being eldest Her eldest could not become the driving force. His lack of military expertise, looks that won't necessarily make a maiden fall for him to count mainly . And many things such as leading from the front... No Yudhi is made up for different things like discussing matters of dharma, administration all these form an essential part of his personality.. But without valour he would never be a chakravartinsamrat. Bhima and arjun should contribute maximum. Especially Arjun with his excellence combined with charisma will definitely make his brother reign. Yes to marry his daughter if he so desires.

In Royal Palace,Drupada is desperately trying to make a point with Veda Vyasa. How could his daughter wed five persons?

After a long while Veda Vyasa convinced Drupad to let his daughter marry five Pandavas.

                                                                                                           Draupadi  who is listening to the conversation could very well sense the frustration in her father's voice.She felt sad for him as she and Dhrisht very we'll know how much he longed to offer her to Arjun as his wife. One day she remember Dhrisht question Drupad why did he not hate Arjun for making him a prisoner and throwing before  that vily Brahmin.Drona

.Drupada replied instantly."... My son You can never see a combination of valour,beauty.compassion.good manners...in one person. He is the combination of all the best traits a man can posses to make him unique and special.You know I am equally drawn towards  his accuracy and superb bowman ship and the most charming presence I   had ever seen apart from Krishna Vaasudeva. I hope my daughter will compliment him in every way with her eloquent beauty."

Then I got angry with father for making me secondary in importance as per his analysis. But after watching Arjun I realised why father is so obsessed with him.Truely Arjun is every one's fantasy,either man or woman.I am hailed as the most beautiful   Woman of Aryavarth But my beauty is worth of its  existence only in union with the charismatic Arjun. I came from my trance on hearing Ved Vyasa's voice..It was final. She should be the wife of five.

                                                                       The royal garden of Kampilya looked splendid with  the grandeur of  nandan van of lord Indra.The forthcoming marriage of Draupadi with pandavas made every one excited and at the same time apprehensive.King Drupada reconciled after much persuasion from Vyasa who narrated him the story of the five Indra's and nalayani,.In all this turmoil and tension filled atmosphere what made him relieved is that Arjun will be his son in law per the other four he accepted them also as per Vyasa's instruction.They are all nice and well mannered but Arjun has a special aura and charm that is unique.Dhrisht approached him and brought him out of his thoughts.Father,I am asking Arjun to teach me the technique to shoot the fish target. What do you say?                                                                      Drupada then observed Arjun and sahadev behind Dhrisht.He smiled at Arjun and said .Dhrisht call me also would be a pleasure to watch the son of Indra demonstrate the most difficult feat.Arjun smiled and said prince you also can do it.you are also the student of guru dron.Drupad  said But only one Arjun is there who excelled even his teacher.
