As Krishna smilingly narrated his childhood stories, Arjun noticed the sparkle in his eyes... He understood that his childhood was a part of his life that he cherishes throughout his life... He was happy feeling that serene feeling seeing that smile on his face...
Krishna told him about Radha and the divine relationship he had with gopis of Vrindavan... Arjun was thrilled to listen to everything he was telling... With those conversations, finally they both reached the outskirts of Vidarbh...
Arjun was clueless about why they have come here... He was looking towards Krishna with a confused face revealing his inner feelings...
Arjun : Madhav... Why are we here?
Krishna : You'll get to know Parth... Read this letter...
Arjun starts reading the letter, confusion still etched on his face... After sometime he burst out into fits of laughter
Arjun : Handsome amongst the whole world? Braver than any other Kshatriya... Who Madhav? 🤣🤣🤣
Krishna : Me Parth... Who else? 😒
Arjun : I want you to come inside the kingdom and take me out of this kingdom... I want to spend my whole life with you... Who is this Madhav 🤣🤣🤣
Krishna : The princess of Vidarbh... Rukmini... 😌
Arjun : Wait Madhav... Does it mean this is a love letter? 😲
Krishna : Yes Parth 😌
Arjun : But the marriage of Princess Rukmini is already fixed with Shishupal... Whole Aryavart knows about this alliance 😑
Krishna : But the princess wants me to be her husband... And is it a fault to marry someone with her consent? 😏
Arjun : No but... Who knows about your marriage Madhav?
Krishna : None knew except me and Rukmini... And congratulations Parth... You know now 😌
Arjun : But Madhav... Why we're here at the backside of Vidarbh then? The entrance is at the opposite direction na... This route is going to take long 😒
Krishna : Parth read the whole letter first... You'll understand why we're here... 😏
Arjun : My dear husband, I love you and I can't accept anyone else as my husband... I would request you to come and rescue me from my palace and accept me as your wife... But as much as I love you, I love my parents and my elder brother Rukmi too, though they didn't even consider my opinion before fixing my marriage with that prince...
I know none can beat you in a war and I wouldn't want any bloodshed on the day of my meet with you... I love my countrymen and they dislike you as much... So this is my last request... If you come to rescue me, please come in disguise...
I would wait for you my love... Take care...
That means we won't fight? 🤔
Krishna : Yes Parth... That's the twist... 😏
Arjun : Why do I feel you have already planned something? 😒
Krishna : You know me so well Parth 🤣
Arjun : What's your plan? 😒
Krishna : Well... We need to put up a disguise...
After a few minutes, two people were seen in front of the huge entrance of Vidarbh...
The man, basically a cowherd came towards the entrance with a pitcher... The guards immediately halted the man as he was going towards the palace with the pitcher...
Guard 1 : What's up young man? Where are you going? 🤨
Krishna : Actually I'm coming from Maharshi Durvasa... He has sent a pitcher full of milk for both the bride and the groom... He expressed his sorrow as he wouldn't be able to attend the wedding and thus had sent this milk to ensure that both the bride and groom gets happily married... 😌
Guard 2 : Milk for marriage? Let us see... 🤨
Krishna : None can see that... It can be only opened to drink the milk... Otherwise the power will disappear... Also this milk is powerful... The prince would need it to ensure the happening of marriage... 😌
Guard 1 : No we can't allow you to enter 😑
Krishna : Fine then... I'll drink the milk myself and my marriage will happen with the princess... And you both would be responsible... 😏
Both the guards started whispering among themselves... But then an idea striked in their brain...
Guard 1 : Princess stays with other women in her own chamber in a different palace... You can't enter their being a man... So come back with a woman with you and then the lady can enter inside... Today is princess's marriage... We can't allow a man in the lady's palace... 😒
Krishna : Brihannala 😎
A lady with shy steps started entering the main gates...
Krishna : This is my sister... Brihannala... She can go inside and give this pitcher to Rajkumari...
Guard 2 : Yes the lady can go...
But... 🤔
Guard 1 : This lady... She... I mean... 🤔 She seems masculine
Guard 2 : Yes... She seemed like a man with broad muscles and broad chest... But she's a lady after all 🙄
I don't know it's too confusing 😐
Krishna : Yes she has muscles... Actually she works hard day and night... Now let us go... 😒
Arjun : Madhav what the hell did you gave me to wear??? A saree??? How will I get inside this palace with this irritating thing? 😒
Krishna : That's for you to figure out... Now wait... The groom needs to take the milk first... 😏
Arjun : Were you serious Madhav when you said this milk is a prasad from Maharshi Durvasa?
Krishna : Of course Parth... Maharshi Durvasa himself told me to take this milk and blessed me...
Arjun : I thought you lied... Anyways take the milk quickly and let me leave to visit my sister... 😒
Krishna : I don't lie Parth... Now go inside and bring my wife safely... I'm giving you the responsibility Parth 😌
Arjun : Yeah I'll bring her to the Narayan Mandir located nearby... You wait there...😊
Krishna : I'll wait Parth... Bye.. Stay safe 😌
Arjun went inside and saw Rukmini getting ready with a sweet smile on her face seeing something...
Arjun tiptoed inside and saw what she was watching intently... It was a portrait of the feather of peacock... A symbol of divinity... Symbol of his dearest Madhav... He felt peace in his heart seeing this and was happy for his best friend...

On the other side
Bhim left for Indraprastha and as he reached, Subhadra came running to welcome her love...
Bhim saw Subhadra impatiently looking for someone... He was disheartened... He couldn't just break the news to his sister like that...
Subhadra on the other hand, got impatient on not getting to see her Arjun... Her prince... The love of her life... She was getting many negative thoughts but was trying to calm herself down...
Finally when she couldn't get to see him, he uttered in a low tone...
Subhadra : Where is Arya? 🥺
Bhim : Arjun... He went with Krishna... Also... Maharshi Narad came to him and told him to meditate to gain higher knowledge of weapons... Devraj Indra wants his son to be unparalleled in the knowledge of weapons...
I'm sorry Subhadra... I don't know whether he's going to be back or would go to meditate directly...
Subhadra was too disappointed...
Karna on the other hand heard everything as he was running excitedly to meet his baby brother...
He halted in his place as he heard the shocking news...
What will happen now? Would Arjun come back to them for one last time before going for penance? Stay tuned for more...
