The Fateful Evening Part l

Part 158

Panchali  couldn't believe her eyes. Her Pragati is the cutest she had ever seen . She is a combination of her father and mother. She is petite and  thin and not like her brother who is  taller and heavy in built.
Kunti is overwhelmed with joy on seeing her grand daughter.
The Raajavaidyaa told her.. She is so nice. She didn't trouble her mother at all. I am relieved now. I hope you won't hurry up to give a sister to her..she turned to Draupadi and remarked.

Indraprasth celebrated for twin factors. The victory of Arjun and The birth of his daughter. ...Arjun and Krishna will reach Indraprasth within two days. Sahadev reached them and delivered the good news. Arjun is excited and could not wait to see his daughter  whom he desired to meet  instantly.
Then Sahadev told him the way Draupadi supported him on hearing the Alli incident. Arjun looked at Krishna who smiled and said. Didn't I tell you that she will understand? She definitely has matured in love. Now rest assured and enjoy the grand welcome offered whole heartedly. He winked.

Sahadev met Alli and introduced himself. Welcome to Indraprasth Bhabhi he said.
Alli cut him short. Don't call me so. I am a prisoner. That's all. I don't want an alliance to be formed without my acceptance.
God had accepted your marriage with Bhrata. That is why you have the good fortune of bearing his child.Bhabhi. Sahadev patiently  said. ...
As news reached Indraprasth  about Alli's pregnancy  Kunti wondered. Her husband's clan is expanding and how? She is impatiently waiting for her son's arrival,to tell him not to feel guilty and to show his cute daughter Pragati.
Kunti is not leaving her even for a minute. Panchali is surprised to see her mother in law's obsession for her grand daughter. She was never that connected during the birth of any of her grandsons. Kirti benefitted from this and as usual clung to his mother with possessiveness
. Draupadi hugged him close and appreciated his love for her. How good it had been if your father is posessive of me. She told her son.If Kirti is posessive of  Draupadi Abhi is like that for his sister. He wouldn't let any one hold her except his grand mother. ...
Arjun's procession reached the royal palace. Subhadra held the Thali for him and said  welcome back with your Alli Rani. Arjun sensed sarcasm in her voice.
Krishna patted her and said. Hail your husband's victory Bhadra with pride. He admonished.
Subhadra sulked "I am dying to see her. Where is she?     

Alli came out of her Palanquin. She carelessly ignored Subhadra who tried to interract with her.Subhadra understood.Alli is exactly like how she is described.
Arjun suddenly heard the most familiar voice. Don't you want to take your gift? Arjun looked in that direction,astonished.
The next moment he ran into the arms of his Pitamah. He clung to his neck just like he used to do in his childhood. He had tears in his eyes. You remembered your promise? He asked in broken voice.

Why would I forget? You made the impossible possible . You brought Aryavarth under the same chatr. Is this a small feat? Grand father questioned him.
Krishna smiled and said. Mahamahim Bhishm, your love for Parth is real. I am touched.
Kunti interrupted them and approached Arjun. Your daughter is too cute Phalgun, Don't you want to meet her?
Arjun hugged her and hid his face in her shoulder.
Alli who is standing behind wondered. Is he that sensitive? Cares for one and all? Then why did he behave so with her? Kunti observed Alli and went nearer. Alli, let bygones be bygones. Forget everything. Enter the city as my Bahu, She councilled her.
Alli looked scornfully at Arjun and said. I am a prisoner of your third son. More than that I don't have any relation with any of you.Kunti felt dejected.
Krishna commented. Even then you are connected with him only. You are his prisoner you admitted. Now let us get inside and have a Darshan of the cutest wonder ,my Parth's daughter.

Kunti happily informed Arjun. You can go and meet your daughter and Bahu. This time no restrictions are there. Dhaumya Rishi checked everything. After Krishna went and met Draupadi and the infant,Arjun went inside and it is a moonlit night.
