Today was the day when Subhadra was supposed to marry Duryodhan. All the preparations were on full swing . On Krishna's advice , the altar was made near the shore in between the pine woods . No one has met Subhadra till now , no one is allowed to , only Krishna visits her time to time .

Aanyati has finally stepped out of her chamber with Yudhisthir's support , it's only the seventh month but her womb has grown to its full size , she is having problem in walking , she sometimes have problem in breathing as well . Yudhisthir is still angry on her for travelling in such conditions and on top of that Nakul , her personal doctor in nowhere to be seen .

Yudhisthir sent Karenumati to find him but now she has vanished as well and Aanyati is hell bent on meeting everyone outside .

She saw Bhism blessing his relatives at a distance and went near him accompanied by Yudhisthir . " Won't you bless your daughter pita ma ?" she asks smiling . Bhism turns to find his beloved daughter in law standing with his son .

" Putri " Bhism's eyes moisten looking at her . She has turned into the goddess of fertility herself , her face is having a divine glow .

" Forgive me pita ma I cannot touch your feet " she says as Bhism engulfs her into a fatherly hug .

" There's no need to putri , my blessings are always with you " he says as Yudhisthir touches his feet . Bhism could not help but admire this couple again and again . They are just made for each other in every sense .

" Pranipat bhabi shri !!" Duryodhan approaches her from behind with his wicked smile . He gets momentarily shocked seeing her womb . " Is she eating too much ?" he asks in surprise . Nobody told him she is pregnant and therefore the first explanation he gave was this .

Yudhisthir and Bhism smiles as Aanyati narrows her eyes. " She is pregnant putr Duryodhan . " Bhism corrects him as now he becomes more shocked , he looks at Yudhisthir and then at Aanyati again " congratulations" he says with a half smile and leaves for the mandap .

" We have met everyone priye , whom are you searching for now ?" Yudhisthir asks finding Aanyati looking here and there .

" I want to meet Bhadra once Dharmraj !! My heart is not agreeing for this marriage " she says when Krishna approaches them .

" Can I lend my sakhi from you for sometime jyest ?" Krishna asks with the most innocent face one can imagine but Yudhisthir did not budge . " I swear I will not run away with her, we dropped that plan long ago. " he says like a kid . Yudhisthir's eyes widen hearing his statement

" we?" he asks looking at Aanyati who seemed ready to eat Krishna alive " Yes jyest , your wife once wrote me to elope her from Indrprast because you were not giving her enough time . It was my generous nature so I denied otherwise you would have been searching for us all around the Aryavrat till now " Krishna narrates the whole tale as Aanyati looks away in embracement.

" You seriously think I will let her go with you after hearing this ?" Yudhisthir asks his voice rational.

" It's not on you jyest , it's on her if she wants to come . Subhadra is waiting for her jiji" Aanyati did not wait more as she drags Yudhisthir with her as well instead of fighting .

Subhadra was standing near the shore clad in weeding attire but the glow of a bride was missing from her face .



" Jiji" she almost runs to hug her . " I don't want this marriage jiji. I don't " she cries in her embrace .

" hoo what are you saying behna ? Everyone is waiting in the mandap for you " Krishna said over dramatically . Yudhisthir becomes a silent spectator among them .

" You don't worry Bhadra I will talk to dao and maharaj Dhridhrasht ." Aanyati tries to console her ignoring Krishna .

" You seriously think they will agree, at this point of time ?" Krishna says as a matter of fact . Both Aanyati and Subhadra knows what he is trying to say . " Let her marry sakhi , this marriage is a result of her deeds only . She could have denied on the first place but no she remained silent "

" How would have I denied bhrata when dao was so happy about this alliance ?" Subhadra says in between her tears .

" What is the result behna ? Won't he be sad when he will discover you are being forced into this marriage ?" Krishna asks making Subhadra shed more tears " remember Subhadre !! decisions are made once only and when altered cause drastic damage to everyone "

" Whatever it is sakha , I won't let her enter into this forceful marriage " Aanyati says clearly .

" Neither will I sakhi " Krishna says with a mischievous smile , his smile brings smile on Aanyati and Subhadra's face as well .

" What's the plan sakha ?" Aanyati asks as Krishna gestures toward a chariot standing near the shore .

" I hope you know how to ride a chariot behna " he asks with a knowing smile , Subhadra hugs him , looks at her jiji , mumble sorry to Yudhisthir and runs away toward the chariot. Both Aanyati and Yudhisthir watches her in amusement .

" But no one will marry her in this way sakha " Aanyati sounds her worry .

" This chariot will pave the way for her marriage sakhi " Krishna assures her walking toward the altar . Yudhisthir smiles looking at the running chariot as if getting what Krishna is saying .

" Why are you smiling ?" Aanyati asked as his smile grows .

" I am smiling for the prince who will get Vasudev as his brother in law " Yudhisthir said as they finally reach near the altar . The environment was already tensed there .

" Priye !! where is Subhadra?" Balram asks his wife when Subhadra don't arrive for a pretty good time .

" let me check arya " she says just when Shakuni appears breathing heavily .

" There's no need to mahabali . You sister ran away " he says emphasizing on ran away more.

" Mind your words Gandhar raj " Balram shouts as the weather turns more intense . Bhism , Dhridhrasht , all look offended and impatient .

" why is he framing such a story ?" Aanyati asks Krishna who just smiles mysteriously .

" I am saying the truth only mahabali . I and Dushasan has seen it by our own eyes. Initially I thought that the chariot is out of control but the question is if the chariot went out of control or raj kumari Subhadra . " his voice was dipped in venom

" You are forgetting your limits Gandhar raj " Balram roars

" Lim.. limits ?" he laughs " I am forgetting my limits or your sister has forgotten about the honor of Hastinapur ?" Shakuni fights back " keeping the crowned prince of Hastinapur waiting in this mandap, she ran with with someone else . "

" but why will she do that ?" Balram asks

" good question , You should ask your younger brother Vasudev Krishan this question "

" Where is Kahna ?" Balram shouted

" I am right here brother " Shakuni almost flinched hearing Krishna's voice . Krishna entered the scene with most innocent face one can think of . Shakuni leaned close to Krishna

" Ask him mahabali ask " Krishna turned his face toward Shakuni who increased the distance between them before saying " Vasudev!! Is raj kumari Subhadra in Dwarka right now ?"

" Look at sakha Dharmraj , he can fail professional actors " Aanyati suppressed her smile so did Yudhisthir .

" I feel very sad to admit that Subhadra is not in Dwarka bade bhayia " Krishna said as if he was not the one to suggest her to run away.

" She is not in Dwarka !!" Dhridhrasht rose from his seat " where is she ? When will she return ?"

" Forgive us Maharaj , Its very shameful for Dwarka but my dear sister Subhadra will now return with her husband only after her marriage. " Now almost everyone rose from their seat .

" She will return after her marriage!! Its your responsibility to bring Subhadra back after defeating her abductor to me " Duryodhan said boring into Balram's eyes .

" you are right Yuvraj !! Kahna why isn't the army ready till yet ?" Balram turned to Krishna .

" I will do that now bade bhayia but there's a problem . Whom will we fight ? The abductor is without any arm and is a woman . The one with arms is abducted . This is very dreadful situation " Krishna said making sad faces .

Shakuni again leaned close to Krishna " Tell everyone Vasudev !! Who has abducted whom ?"







Hope this don't seem boring ...
