The night after Yudhisthir's coronation as yuvraj
Third person's P.O.V.
Bheem took the cloth off the pot full of bitter gourd in sugar syrup and stared at them. Sahadev was meditating he opened one of his eyes peeping, Nakul turned around and looked at Bheem and then looked back at himself in the mirror Bheem took a bitter gourd the sugar syrup dripping Bheem took some syrup in his hand and licked it Nakul turned around smirking and looked at Bheem Bheem licked his hand and looked at Nakul
"Should I have it?" Bheem asked Nakul
"Go on," said Nakul, Bheem took a bite and spat it out, Yudhisthir looked at him Nakul and Yudhisthir chuckled
"Bhrata Bheem, what are you doing?" asked Sahadev
"I had soaked these bitter gourds overnight in a sugar syrup, Sahadev, but, they still taste bitter." said Bheem, Yudhisthir chuckled thinking This Bheem
"If you soak them for a year then maybe they won't taste bitter, bhratashree." said Nakul
"If Duryodhan can change then bitter gourds stand no chance." he said, Yudhisthir looked at him
"Even if you soak them for life there won't be any change in them, Kul." said Bheem, Yudhisthir then looked at him
"because bitter gourds are defined by their bitterness." he Bheem, Yudhisthir smiled, he put peacock feather quill down and walked to Bheem
"Think positively, Bheem. All of you should try to think positively." said Yudhisthir
"No one can have such a weak heart where dharm cannot dwell." he said
"Not true" said Karn entering the chamber, Yudhisthir, Bheem, Nakul and Sahadev walked to Karn
"Pranipat, Jyesht." they all said joining their hands
"Chirunjivi bhavh." blessed Karn raising his hand
"On my way here and I saw Duryodhan talking with his mamashree." said Karn
"Telling him that," Karn paused and cleared his throat
"My heart isn't that weak, mamashree, that dharm can dwell within it." said Karn imitating Duryodhan, Bheem, Nakul and Sahadev smirked at Yudhisthir
"You were saying?" said Bheem, Nakul and Sahadev in unison Karn looked around
"Where's Arjun?" asked Karn, Yudhisthir, Bheem, Nakul and Sahadev smiled
"He went to meet Subhadra fifteen minutes ago" chuckled Nakul
"Oh really?" asked Karn folding his hand
"Yeah, he probably went to go ask her to marry him" said Nakul teasingly
"Nakul!" snapped Yudhisthir
"You know that he wanted to know more about Vasudev, that, and only that is the reason he went to meet her." said Yudhisthir
"Only that? Don't you think he wanted to see her before she left to Dwaraka tomorrow." said Sahadev
"Maybe." replied Yudhisthir smiling
Arjun's P.O.V.
I reached Subhadra's chamber's doors there were two dasis standing
"Tell the Yadav kumari, Subhadra, that kumar Arjun wishes to meet her." I said
"Yes, kumar." said a dasi and went in I looked a the box Krishna had sent the seven stones in
Subhadra's P.O.V.
I was packing my clothes
"Pranipat, Yaadav kumari, kumar Arjun wishes to meet you." said the dasi I stood up in excitement
"Kumar Arjun!" I exclaimed
"Dasiyo, take these away. And you, prepare the seat." I said and got down the stair
"Tell him to enter!" I said I set my earnings I can take my revenge I can prank him as he and his bhaiyo did with me. I thought I turned around
"Wait!" I said the dasi turned around
"Tell him to enter after a few moments." I said
"As you say, rajkumari." said the dasi and left
"Dasiyo, spread the cloths on the floor" I ordered
Arjun's P.O.V.
The dasi that went in came out
"Kumar, Yaadav kumari said to come after a few moments." said the dasi
"Very well," I said
Time skip
I entered Subhadra's chamber she was sitting on her bed as I entered she stood up smiling
"Pranipat, Pandav kumar." she greeted joining her hands
"Pranipat." I greeted joining my hands
"Pdharye." she said
"Wait! Wait!" she said gesturing me to wait, I looked down and saw a maze of cloths
"Walk carefully. I have laid those clothes there to be dried, because I am to leave for Dwaraka." she said Er... no, you laid these clothes here to prank me. Pranking you wasn't my idea, you know? Nakul and Sahadev are in so much trouble. I thought I jumped
"Walk carefully," said Subhadra I jumped again
"Carefully," she said I looked at her and shook my head thinking Girls. I jumped forward
"Now, move forth," she said I stepped forward
and jumped again I was out of the cloth maze I looked Subhadra giggled and stepped down the stairs
"You too are a very graceful dancer, Pandav kumar." she said
"Are you contented now, by making me dance?" I asked sarcastically
"I am very contented!" she said ignoringing my sarcastic tone, I smiled, I took out my knife and threw collecting the cloths
Subhadra looked at me amazed. I smiled and took my knife and put it away I looked at Subhadra she was smiling at me
"Did your bhrata Krishna teach you to take revenge like so?" I asked, she stopped smiling she looked away
"My bhrata never takes revenge." she said
"When your mama Kans had imprisoned your parents, then in order to take revenge from him your bhrata Krishna had slain him. And you say that your bhrata Krishna does not take revenge?" I said
"He did not take revenge. My bhrata Krishna says that justice makes the world go round." said Subhadra wisely I looked down confused
"If the culprit isn't punished, then the world will lose its state of balance." said Subhadra
"I don't get it," I said Subhadra made a weird face
"Neither do I." said Subhadra
"I never understand any of the things he does." she said
"Peculiar are the things Krishna does." I said Subhadra smiled at me. I smiled back, she looked down, blushing, I opened the box in my hand and looked at the seven stones.
"He compels one to overthink." I said, I looked back at Subhadra
"I have come to you to learn more about him." I said she stopped smiling
"You've come to me to know about him?" she said sadly
"Tell me something. By submitting to Jarasandh why did your bhrata Krishna leave from Mathura? And when Jarasandh attacked Dwaraka then he defeated him. He could've done so in Mathura, couldn't he?" I said
"I don't know. Pandav kumar, will you invite me to your wedding, right?" Subhadra asked me, I looked at her thinking What on earth are you saying? You are asking me this, the one I wish to marry. But I know that I shouldn't say this.
"First, Jyesht, then bhrata Yudhisthir and bhrata Bheem's vivah will take place." I said I slapped my mouth thinking Damn it!
"I meant Jyesht, and bhrata Bheem's vivah will take place." I said
"My vivah is out of the question." I said I'll going to ask her the same question she asked me I thought
"Tell me something-"
"I don't know. You can ask about my bhrata by talking to him yourself when you meet him." said Subhadra she looked really upset Was it something I said I thought
"You, leave." she ordered tearing up
"I have to get ready for the journey." she said
"Dasi, pick up the clothes." she ordered and started climbing the stairs
"But at least answer one of my questions." I said she stopped
"I don't know. You, leave." said she said
"Subhadra!" I herd Mata call
