"When time gives you problems, it always leaves it's solution behind."

In the garden:-
"Are you able to recollect anything ?" Arjun asked Subhadra who shook scratching her head like a child. Arjun couldn't do anything but sigh.
"What will I do ? What will remind you of me ?" Arjun questioned himself. Subhadra was bored of the process of thinking.
'It's so boring ! I want to play now. What if I ask this person next to me to play with me ? Will he do so ? Maybe he will ' Subhadra thought, her eyes twinkling.
"Umm...Prince Dhananjay ! Will you play with me ?" Subhadra asked slyly.
"What ! Play? I am thinking of how to revive your memory and all you were thinking about is a game ? " Arjun exclaimed.
"No. Games can also help you revive your memory. I mean there's no harm in trying" Subhadra said trying to convince him.
"Okay, you decide what to play. I will come soon" Arjun said and saw Subhadra run towards her chamber in excitement. He could never believe that she was a grown-up lady.
"A game ? How can a game restore her memory ?" Arjun thought laughing at his wife's childishness. "Or maybe it can" he said reminding what had happened in Indraprasth.

Flashback
"I am bored brother" Subhadra shouted as she was walking with Nakul towards Panchali's chamber.
" You are bored ? It's the very first day here !" Nakul said laughing at his sister.
"What can I do ? I mean all my brothers are busy. I cant simply sit in my room all day !" Subhadra exclaimed.
"Maybe we can play a game" Nakul said appearing to be thinking. Subhadra's excitement did not go hidden.
"Yes, yes ! Let's play please" Subhadra said holding and pulling Nakul's angavastra. Nakul smiled at the tactics of his sister and gave in.
"We will ! Go and wait in Panchali's room. I will bring all my brothers" he asked walking away.
"Okay ! Jiji......." Subhadra began hopping towards Draupadi's chamber. She entered to see Draupadi seated on a chair reading a book. "Subhadra ! What happened? " she asked smiling.
"We are on a game" Subhadra said and sat next to Draupadi. The five Pandavas entered the room with a small smile on their faces.
"What is going on here ? Why have we been summoned by the Queen of Indraprasth?" Arjun asked smiling.
Draupadi looked confused. Subhadra looked at Nakul who twinkled his eyes.
"Because the Queen wants to play a game" Subhadra said and Draupadi had no other choice but to nod. Every one sat down in a circle and Sahadev asked Panchali what she wanted to play.
"Well.... let's play a game in which everyone has to speak up what comes to their mind on hearing a word" Draupadi said.
"The main rule is no lying" Subhadra added giggling. Everyone nodded and Yudhishthir questioned so as to who would start the game and who would ask the questions.
Bheem said, "Let's make it this way. Everyone gets to question everyone. In this way, the person has to answer everyone's questions and it will be fun."
"So the first to be questioned is brother Yudhishthir", Nakul said. Bheem laughed. "I will question you now brother!", he said and Yudhishtir nodded calmly.
