Part 134

The celebration day brought so much excitement and curiosity among people of Indraprasth,
They wanted to wish their queen and their beloved Kumar Arjun for their to be born son, As king Drupad is there in person This is a special day for his daughter.
Dhrishtadyumn also attended the function with his wife and brought rich rewards for both his sister and Pandavas, Another reason for excitement is Govind's presence, People believed he is God incarnate and wanted his blessings for their children, Maharani Gandhari brought rich presents and proved that Arjun and Draupadi are special for her, Panchali became ready exactly as per the suggestion of her husband, And the final result is just out of the world.
Every one around her swooned literally on seeing the most beautiful woman simple yet strikingly beautiful, Kunti asked Priyamvada to bring her bahu to the specially decorated hall where Dhaumya is waiting to give Asirvad along with many Brahmins, Krishna and Arjun are busy checking final decorations and arrangements for the guests.
Satya hurriedly approached Arjun and told him Panchali wishes both of them to come before she reaches the function hall, Krishna asked Arjun to go first and he will join later.
Arjun is apprehensive thinking of her delicate health condition , As he reached her chamber she is standing in front of her mirror and was startled at his image beside hers,Arjun 's face glowed on seeing her natural beauty with minimal make up, He took her shoulders and turned her towards him, She is holding her sindoor box and held it towards him,Arjun smiled at her and took sindoor and filled her maang with his artistic fingers.
Panchali felt ecastic and tried to bend and touch his feet, Arjun prevented her and scolded, Why are you so sentimental today ? Is it necessary to do all this? Don't bend , If you want I will put my feet in your lap, Panchali showed annoyance,Arjun understood she is serious, He made her sit and let her touch his feet, He closed his eyes and prayed to Sankarshiv that she should be hale and healthy and give birth to his son without any complications,
Panchali took his hands into her hands and admitted in a low voice, Thank you Arjun,for fulfilling my life, Arjun is surprised, He tried to stop her but she continued, Thank you for making me your wife that also  first wife, I know how many beautiful girls yearn to have the good fortune of being your wife, But it is a privilege given to me Yajnaseni born to be the first wife of the most desirable warrior on earth, She smiled with tears,
Arjun prevented her, Krishnaa,don't get emotional,not good for your health, Draupadi is adamant, No let me admit, Yes I am angry with you for sharing me, I still am, But thank you for making our togetherness memorable and special, I can live the rest of my life with these beautiful memories,
Arjun hugged her close, Finally Thank you for gifting me my son ,Abhi's brother,I will be the mother of the great Arjun's son, Panchali placed her hands round his neck and closed her eyes in bliss.
Arjun bent over and kissed her forehead, Too great Parth,There every one is waiting for Sakhi and you are enjoying here? You know Kunti Bua is getting hyper, And Maharani Gandhari is preventing her saying,Kunti don't disturb my Arjun and my Bahu, Let them have quality time together.
Krishna's words made Panchali blush and Arjun laugh he artfully,Satya who is behind Krishna laughed clapping her hands, Arjun,Day by day you are advancing in matters of love and romance,
Her comment made Arjun's face red with embarrassment but he composed himself and retorted, Yes, I learnt every thing from your husband only ,He is the God of Love No? And you are his goddess of love,
Krishna laughed at their banter and approached Draupadi,who tried to touch his feet, He placed his hands in blessing on her head and said, Krishnaa,get a son for my Parth who will be pious and pure because he is arriving after Parth completed his pilgrimage with so many auspicious deeds, He will be Sruta Kirti for the world,
Arjun liked the name, Yes, I would like to call him Kirti,What do you think Krishnaa? He asked,
Panchali smiled and approved, yes, it is nice, Abhi's younger brother Kirti,!,,,,,,Kunti who is waiting for Draupadi looked at the foursome who are coming together , Satya and Krishna are holding Panchali on both sides and Arjun is on the other side of Krishna,

Drupad and Dhrishtdyumn went forward and welcomed Panchali, As the Brahmins recited Vedic hymns Kunti made Gandhari offer new ornaments ,garments etc as she is the Eldest Kurukul Bahu.
Gandhari blessed Panchali ' May you get a son who is like Arjun in every way, "
Kunti then came and became emotional, She thought of the day Draupadi walked into the hut with Arjun, She is the one who demanded so much from her Any one in her place would have hated her for making her an object to be shared by five of her sons, But this Bahu of her never said any harsh word but followed her every word .
Indraprasth reigned supreme not only with the valour of Arjun but also with Draupadi's skill and commitment, She begged pardon in her heart for whatever happened , Arjun understood his mother's anguish,Krishna knew what is going on in her mind, Both of them approached her and made her bless Draupadi
Krishna taunted her, Bua, Dont get emotional, She is the ideal Bahu and she played her part,
Arjun hugged her and said, Be happy, Your Phalgun's son is arriving to test your patience, Abhi and he will make you run around like I did in my childhood.
Kunti smiled through her tears and blessed Draupadi.
Drupad also became emotional thinking of the birth of Draupadi, She made him proud by standing firm in crucial circumstances, She fulfilled his wish to have Arjun as his son in law.
Drisht Dyumn brought many valuable presentations and blessed Draupadi, Krishna approached her and blessed her, May you have the ability to face any situation and emerge successful, Let Parth and you be blessed with a worthy son,Srita Kirti,
Satya gave diamond necklace and nice earrings, Yudhishtir blessed her with  long life and peace while Bheem  beamed with joy and said, Abhi looks like Arjun but he is fair, Now you surely give us Arjun's replica as you both are dark in complexion,
Draupadi blushed and everyone applauded Bheem, Nakul retorted, Bhrata Bheem dark colour is in demand, Fairer ones are overshadowed by Darker ones in following, He looked meaningfully at Krishna and Arjun.
Sahadev taunted him, You seemed to be more effected Nakul,Not all of us, Everyone enjoyed their comradiare.
Subhadra is curious to see what presentation Arjun will give Draupadi, All of them individually gave Panchali gifts and Then Arjun approached Her, He held a very beautiful mang ka Teeka that is worn on the centre parting of the hair with a beautiful pendent of nine types of gems that hangs on the forehead,,
When he arranged it in her hair Panchali looked  so beautiful as it elevated her black curly hair and moon like face, Where did you get it from? Satya asked lured by its unique designing, From Naglok, Arjun said precisely,
Satya teased him, It is so nice , you could have brought some more, It is really nice,
Arjun clarified, This is  unique, It was made in Hiranyapur and was there in the treasury , The king of Nagas offered this after I vanquished them, There are so many I brought, Ask Subhadra and take some if you want,
Satya still insisted, But it is too good, and suited Panchali just right,
Krishna explained, That is why Parth kept it safe for Krishnaa , All the Pandava queens including Subhadra praised it with superlatives, The Lunch that followed is grand and delicious with so many varieties of dishes, Draupadi left immediately to her chamber as she needs to take rest, She looked into the mirror and found Arjun's gift beautify her face and enhance her beauty,
