Part 138

Drupad who is extremely worried of his daughter's condition felt great relief and immense joy, The Rajavaidyaa told them, It was a miracle of sorts, I lost hope on seeing the queen's condition, But suddenly every thing fell in space, The child is very healthy and beautiful, He is like the mirror image of Rajkumar Arjun,
Kunti rushed inside to see her grandson, Draupadi is holding her son in her arms, Priyamvada helped her lean against the cushions,Kunti wondered on seeing the baby, He is like her Phalgun, Dark with beautiful curly hair .
There is no difference at all, She remembered how she held him at Satasringa mountain and how Pandu called him Krishna as he is dark, Priyamvada is ecastic, She described every feature of the child to Gandhari who just came inside,Gandhari placed the golden chain with pendant which she wore since she was in Gandhar round the neck of the child, Kunti was surprised , She knew how dear it is to Gandhari who understood and proudly stated, "Only for my Arjun and Draupadi's son.
The news reached the king and twins who hurriedly visited the newborn along with Dhrisht and Drupad, When the baby was brought to the outside chamber all of them exclaimed, Exactly like Arjun himself.
Subhadra greeted Draupadi with heartfelt happiness, Abhi will cherish his brother  when he sees him after he gets up in the morning, She said.
Sahadev ordered the messengers to convey the good news to his brother as fast as they can,
Indraprasth got up to hear the new arrival into the royal family and  people celebrated  with immense pleasure,
Finally Panchali was left alone in the company of Priyamvada to feed the baby , She held her son with disbelief and wondered about Arjun's presence at the time of her delivery.
She still felt his touch on her shoulder and hand, Priyamvada  made her drink Audhadhi milk as she is extremely week, ...Arjun got the news of his son's birth when they already crossed half distance.
Bheem hugged him and proudly stated,The boy is special, He came at a time when his Jyesht Pita Bheem killed the most dreaded enemy of Mankind.
Krishna teased Arjun, Now I see the real glow on your face that is missing all these days,.
Arjun felt great relief, Finally his Krishnaa will be freed of the tension and his son will certainly give her the ultimate joy of her life.She very much wished to be the mother of his child and he also waited long to see the symbol of their love blossom in their hands, Now he wished to be before her and see the unique bliss on her beautiful face.
But as they reached Indraprasth he was informed he can not meet his wife and see his newborn immediately, They were given a grand welcome for vanquishing Jarasandha, The victory procession started from the outskirts into the city,Crackers were burnt and Drums were beaten hailing the three victorious warriors
, As they reached the royal mansion the sun set and Yudhishtir along with Drupad and Twins greeted them with great joy, He hugged Krishna, You guided my brothers to this great triumph, I am indebted to you, He said,
Ktishna replied with a smile, If our intention is good nothing can stop us from achieving success, Nakul praised Bheem, Bhrata finally you proved you are the best in dual fight.
Sahadev hugged Arjun and whispered, Tomorrow is the eleventh day and after the sacred bath and Asirvad you can hold the baby in your hands.
Subhadra  greeted Arjun and Abhi ran to his father with excitement, Pitasri, He only identifies me and no one else, He is cute, He said in his broken language.
Krishna held Abhi and asked him, Your Mata did not tell his name to you? Abhi proudly revealed, He is Kirti, You should call him with that name.
Every one laughed at his attitude, Satya who just came there retorted, Like father like son,
Arjun did not  bother of her remark as he is in a very happy mood,
Kunti hugged the three of them with teary eyes, Then she told Arjun with a smile, Your son is like you , I felt I am holding you again in my arms.
Arjun smiled back and asked, Shall I go and see him now? Why should I wait? Kunti nodded her head, No Phalgun, Wait till tomorrow morning, Sage Dhaumya said then only you can meet your wife and son.
Krishna teased Arjun, Don't be that impatient, Only one night is left between you and your Krishnaa, He said the last line in a low voice,
