"Who is that ?" Arjun exclaimed. I shook my head. We both ran in the direction of the voice and there we saw Brother Nakul on the ground and Brother Bheem standing in front of him.

"Arya, please go and stop them !" I said and he nodded.

"Brother....Brother ! It's okay, please forgive him ! After all it's Nakul. What else can you expect from him ?" he said and Brother Bheem shook his head.

"My tooth has been broken Arjun ! See ! I will not spare him..." he shouted in anger showing his broken tooth to Arya.

"Brother...it's fine ! He only tried to make a laddoo. It was not his true intention to break your tooth" I said interfering. He nodded his head and immediately picked Brother Nakul from the floor and hugged him.

Both Arya and I smiled at each other and saw them leave the place, one putting his hand on the other's shoulder.

"What did you want to tell me ?" I asked him.

"Huh ? Oh yes I do want to ask you something...." he said pausing for some time. I nodded and signalled him to continue.

"Why do I feel that you are ignoring me these days ? I see that my wife is having a good time with all my brothers and Panchali.... but she does not want to spend time with me at all !" he said frowning slightly.

"Well.... I feel you are the one ignoring me ! You hardly spend time with me, all you do is take scrolls around the palace, practice your archery, spend time with your brothers on administrative matters !" I said turning away now.

"What ! Don't you remember that you were the one who walked away to Draupadi's chamber when I was free and wanted to talk to you !" he said a little irritated.

"Hmm" I said.

"What's going on here ?" we both heard Brother Yudhishthir's voice. We both shook our heads smiling.

"Go and get ready for the fest tonight !" he said to me. I began walking and I could hear him discussing something with Arya in a tensed manner.

At night:-

I was getting ready in my chamber. Arjun had not come to the room at all.
I walked upto the arena to find all my brothers standing there.

I smiled and walked upto them when Brother Nakul started.

"Now that she is here ! Why don't you start the fest ?" he said.

"What can I do to start the fest ?" I  asked him curiously.

"The fest is starting with a musical competition between Arjun and..."  said Brother Bheem.

"What ? A musical competition ! No way !" Arjun exclaimed.

"And ?", I asked with excitement.

"You..." Brother Sahadev completed.

"Okay. I am ready now !" Arjun said smiling at me.

"Okay let's begin..." I said. Both of us sat on either side facing each other.

"Now time for voting !" Brother Nakul exclaimed making me smile.

"I support Subhadra !" he said and sat next to me giving me a high - five.

"Who do you support Brother Yudhishthir ?" he asked.
