"Please remarry my husband! Your Husband!", Draupadi wished smiling with tears. Vaishnavi retrieved back from her hold, and looked at her shocked. Arjun shot up his head and looked at Draupadi with wide eyes. Bheem, Nakul and Sahadev, who followed Draupadi to the chamber, were so happy that they started hugging each other. Draupadi looked at both Subhadra and Kunti, who both were shocked at the new information, and nodded her head. Kunti covered her mouth and looked at Vaishnavi with an apologetic expression.

Vaishnavi shook her head, "No! No Krishnaa! Why are you- don't sacrifice for me-", Draupadi cut her off by hugging her tightly and started crying hysterically. She started hiccuping, "My sister! My Ishwari! My- Now too you are just thinking about me! And not you! How- How much pain you would have endured be- because of me! Huh? What do you mean Don't sacrifice? What you did was more than sacrifice! You- You already married him! And- and for my happiness-".

Draupadi broke the hug and held Vaishnavi's cheeks, who was looking down sobbing, "You were on a penance, without your husband! He was yours before he became mine! So, he will always be yours!". Vaishnavi looked up at her and Subhadra came into the conversation as well, "Yes, Vaishu! Jiji is right!". Vaishnavi shook her head, "No! Don't do anything for me! My husband didn't do anything, why would you do? You- you guys are born for each other, and I- I'm a nobody!", and broke down the instant, but was held by Draupadi.

Draupadi gave her husband and accusing look and looked back at her determined. "I assure you, Ishwari! You will be well known for your sacrifice! And from now on, you will be known as the first and primary wife of Panduputra Arjuna!". Vaishnavi was just looking with her mouth open at both her sisters. Subhadra, though pregnant with his child, was smiling with tears looking at her.

She held her and said, "Subha! Tell Krishnaa-", but subhadra cut her off, "As the Yogmaya herself, I am stating that you, Vaishnavi, will always be known as the Primary wife of my Aarya!", she spoke determined. Vaishnavi was not liking all this, and shot her husband a look. She started speaking, "Look! Look at what you have done! Arjun! I ruined my sister's life by very own hands! No- it's you! You did this! What do you have against us sisters!", and started hitting on his chest, crying.

Arjun just held her hands from hitting him and kept them near his forehead for her forgiveness, "I'm sorry- I'm sorry Ishwari! I- What I did was wrong, and I will respect your decisions! But! I'm not going to give up on you! I will fight for you! Fight for us! Fight with anyone! Anyone!". Crying, She fell on his chest, while he hugged her.

All others left the place, as they felt like invading their privacy. Vaishnavi hugged him back while crying and was still complaining to him, to which he was just nodding and listening to her. Soon enough, she fell unconscious again, unable to take in what all was happening. Arjun carried her and laid her down on her bed, caressing her hair and kissed her forehead. He soon came out, with others waiting for him.

Meanwhile, all the others who got out of the room, started talking sitting on a round couch, conspiring something. Arjun joined them and got shocked at hearing what they were speaking. He asked Nakul, "What are you talking about? Is it even- Even-", But Nakul cut him off by saying, "Come on, Bhrata! You don't want to be in Team Arjun?", Bheem continued, "Then go to Team Duryodhan! Jyesth is already in that team anyways! Join him!", Sahadev joined too, "But, we are gonna get you married to my Bhabhi! That's it!". Now, it was Draupadi, "If you don't agree, we will kidnap you!".

Arjun immediately replied, "What? No! I mean, yes! I do want to get married to her!". Subhadra hit him on his shoulder, while serving tea to everyone, "What do you mean 'want to get married?'? You already married her! It's just that this time it will be official!", while Arjun looked at her rubbing the area where she hit. Looking at how everyone is trying to get them together, Arjun's heart was filled with joy and gratitude.

Kunti told them all, "But, Putri! She is not even ready to accept my son! She is really angry at him!", making everyone lose their smiles on their faces, as what Kunti stated was right. Draupadi reassured her, "That's why i used my brahmastra, Mata! Now, she has to abide by my words! And I know her very well, she would never cross her words!".

Soon, they all saw Balram, Duryodhan and Yudisthir were entering the medical chamber, so they all hid behind the right side of the wall. Arjun, who was kneeling down, looked at them with a heavy heart, as her marriage is already fixed, but was determined to stop it. So, he got up from his place to stop it all, stop the wedding by telling everyone the truth of them being married already.

But, Draupadi pulled his hand and made him kneel down back, making him look at her shocked. "What are you doing, Aarya?", she whispered. "I'll go tell everyone that we are married already!", making everyone 'tch' at him. Nakul said, "Bhrata! I understand that you are overpowered by emotions right now! But if you go now and do that, everything will go backwards!".

Bheem nodded his head at that, "Yes, Arjun! You can never believe how Mama Shakuni's mind works! He will do some Magic just by his words and can make everyone, i mean Everyone, turn against us!", with Sahadev adding, "Including Jyesth Yudisthir!". Arjun thought about it for a moment and nodded his head, agreeing with them. Draupadi told him, "Aarya! Trust me! This plan will work!".

"I'm still worried about him doing something to her! Did you guys look at what he did to her with his mace?", Arjun said with a sense of urgency. Sahadev asked, "Yeah! How was he able to do that?", to which Draupadi replied, "I think he is the manifestation of Kali she was talking about with me!". Everyone looked at her confused and Arjun asked her, "How Did you know that?". She looked at him with a 'obviously' expression and said, "She always told me everything! Except for your case!". Bheem stated, "Guys, Explain!". But completely ignoring him, Arjun continued to ask her, "Then, do you know that she is from -", he didn't even complete the sentence and Draupadi answered him, "Future!Kaliyug! Of course I know, Aarya!". Subhadra, Bheem, Nakul and Sahadev had the wildest expressions and screamed, "She's from WHATTT??".

Hearing the scream coming from outside, Duryodhan proceeded to see who there was. But, as soon as he opened the door, Draupadi was standing there, and entered the room. Standing beside her husband, she started to speak with Balram and Duryodhan, "We are sorry for what happened! I didn't know that she would react like this!". Balram stopped her and said, "It's okay! She is my sister, after all. Expected this from her", and chuckled. He continued, "But, I wonder, How was that Arjun able to even touch her! Not just touching her, he carried her-", Draupadi cut him off by saying, "She actually agreed for this marriage! Just a while ago!"

Duryodhan looked at her suspiciously, and was about to ask her something, but she said, "She gave me the boon to ask her anything and she will fulfill it. So,I asked for what is right!", and looked at her unconscious sister smilingly, "And now she has to do it! I will make this happen!". Shakuni entered the chamber by asking her, "What exactly did you ask for, Princess Draupadi?", and joined his hands at her.

She raised her head and said with confidence, "It's Queen Draupadi!". Shakuni gave her an annoyed expression and was about to ask her something, but Duryodhan dragged him away, "Excuse us!". Arjun, who was explaining everything to the four of them, saw the both coming out and got alerted. "Mamashree! She accepted for the marriage! Now, what do you want?". Shakuni hissed and said, "You delay this, Duryodhan! It indeed is good that she accepted the marriage, but Arjun's intentions with her! I'm skeptical about him! I don't even understand how he could even touch that girl!". Duryodhan ran his hand through his hair in frustration and said, "Exactly! Everyone are in a confused state that how could even Arjun touch her! I know! She loves him! That's why! But, no one has ever thought of it yet! Not even you, Mamashree! If you couldn't figure it out, it will obviously take everyone else to figure it out! So by then, i have to make her mine". Shakuni was adamant at his words and was constantly trying to change his Nephew's mind, who almost got convinced by him.

Nakul and Sahadev nodded at each other and went in front of them, pretending to talk with each other and not seeing them, "Sahadev! I'm feeling really bad!", looking at them both, Duryodhan and Shakuni hid behind the left side of the wall, with the people behind the right side of the wall looking at them trying to control their laughter.

Nakul and Sahadev walked near the entrance, between the walls, "Bhrata Arjun loved her dearly! And she too agreed for marriage with him! But as soon as her mind changed, she- she rejected him! And took his promise of telling everyone the truth! Because of this Bhrata, we are also unable to tell everyone the truth! And now that she had agreed to marry that Duryodhan because of the anger she holds against Bhrata Arjun, as he was about to break his promise! I don't know when she will reject him as well! It might be within a week, a day, or tomorrow itself! Let's see!", while Sahadev agreeing with him by nodding his head vigorously. He clearly couldn't act as much as Nakul, so Nakul gave him a look and stomped his feet at his bad acting, and gestured for him to tell the next dialogues. Sahadev composed himself and said, "Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!Let's not tell that Duryodhan regarding this! Otherwise, he would want the marriage to happen tomorrow only, which is the right choice! And I don't want Bhrata Arjun to lose to him! Always Team Arjun! Cha!", he said overwhelmingly overacting, which caused Nakul to immediately drag him away before their cover blows up.

Duryodhan and Shakuni looked at each other with shocked expressions. Duryodhan immediately said, "This marriage is happening tomorrow!". Shakuni got shocked and tried to explain to his nephew that nothing was making sense to him, but he was in no mood to listen and barged inside the medical room, and announced, "I'm marrying her tomorrow! If any of you don't have any problem!".

Balram asked, "This suddenly?", to which Duryodhan said, "I can't live being separated from her anymore! Not even a moment! Please, Gurudev!". Balram looked at him with a questioning expression and asked, "You tried to attack her, Duryodhan! With your mace! How can I-", but Duryodhan interrupted him by falling on his feet and said, "I'm sorry, Gurudev! It's just that my- my fear of losing her! I'm wrong! Totally wrong! I'm sure that once I marry her, she will reform me! For good! Please!", and cried. Balram wasn't going to give in, but feeling his dear student's tears on his feet, his heart melted.

He made him get up on his feet, "Next time you do this Duryodhan, remember that I'll kill you! Make arrangements for marriage tomorrow!", he announced and left the place, making Duryodhan extremely happy. Shakuni looked at Draupadi and smirked, who smirked back at him, which gave him an uneasy feeling. He sensed that something was not right.

***

Everyone was getting ready for the Mehndi and Sangeet at the same time, as suggested by Draupadi. She told everyone to celebrate all three at the same time as they don't have time for the marriage. The very evening, The whole castle of Hastinapur was in a hustle bustle as the crown prince was getting married in such a short time.

Vaishnavi's musicians were with team Arjun as well, and they were teaching some lyrics to every one of them, which Vaishnavi taught them. All of them were roaming here and there and not staying at one place, as to not induce any doubt at them. So, they tried to appear too normal, way too normal that will automatically lead to make them appear suspicious.

Nakul was choosing jewellery, Sahadev was singing with musicians, Bheem was eating only 2 Ladoos, Subhadra was with Kunti talking about the geography and Draupadi was just too much involved in all the work for the wedding. And Arjun- Well, he was just sitting in one place without doing anything. Seeing all this, Duryodhan, who was sitting on the main seat, started feeling tense, as its way too suspicious now. Duryodhan told what all Nakul and Sahadev spoke with each other to every one of his brothers, who in rage also started a team called Team Duryodhan, especially Dushasan.

He basically was sticking to his brother, unaware of any attack that Arjun could make anytime. Meanwhile, Vaishnavi was just sitting there without any expression or colour on her face, getting her mehndi done. Donning a purple coloured lehanga, that could camouflage her chain, she just kept looking at nothing. It was weird for everyone that the one girl, who was always loud, was today not uttering a single word and being silent in this festive mood.

The mehndi designer asked her what name should she get done on her hand, but she didn't respond as she was so lost. The woman shook her and asked her again, which made her come back to reality and said, "Ah?". The woman was confused, "But, the groom's name-", vaishnavi just glared at her as she was annoying her from the beginning. The woman nodded knowingly and continued with her mehndi, which gave vaishnavi a sense of Deja Vu. She had experienced this before somewhere. "You are right! This happened in my wedding as well", a voice came from behind her, and immediately looked at who it was and her colourless face was filled with a little colour again.

"Rukmini Bhabhi!", she called and hugged her carefully not wanting to smear her mehndi in her dress. Rukmini broke the hug and held her cheek, "You are getting married! Finally!". Immediately, her smile fell off her face, "I-", but couldn't speak anything. Rukmini smiled and said, "Your marriage is with Arjun only! Don't worry! Anyways, you guys are already married!". Vaishnavi looked at her perplexed and asked, "You too know this?". Rukmini nodded and said, "Yeah, Team Arjun told me!". Vaishnavi was now totally confused, "Team Arjun?", while Rukmini explained her everything happened after she passed out. She facepalmed with her wrist at their stupid and even more stupid team name. She immediately said, "I- I don't want him anymore! The only reason I'm going ahead with this plan is because Draupadi asked me as her wish to do this! Otherwise, i- I wo-", she couldn't complete her sentence again. Rukmini gave her a look and asked, "Would you not? Would you really not marry him? You love him! And that's why, again, destiny had written his name on your hand!", vaishnavi looked at her hand and saw the letter 'A'. She closed her eyes and shook her head, while Rukmini continued while checking out her nails, "You don't hate him, Vaishnavi! You are just angry at him! And you are jealous! My advice is that, If men make you jealous, make them jealous!", and left to the entrance immediately as if awaiting for someone. Vaishnavi thought about what she said and looked at both Arjun and Duryodhan.

Meanwhile, Yudisthir came and asked Draupadi what was wrong with everyone, as they were not their usual self. Draupadi understood that they are failing miserably at acting normal. She immediately excused herself and gathered Team Arjun and said, "Guys! Team Arjun is failing!". Nakul also said, "Yeah! Team Arjun is failing like hell. Look at Team Duryodhan! They are together like the birds of same feather!". Sahadev chimed in saying, "That's true! We are working hard! But who we e working for, there is no contribution from them!". Everyone looked at both of them, where Vaishnavi was disinterested in whatever was happening, and was sitting there just because Draupadi told her to, and Arjun was writing something on his hand with the mehndi. Bheem sneaked, "What is this Arjun doing with the mehndi?". Subhadra added to it, "Oh my god! He is so unserious!". Draupadi shook her head, looked up and remembered Krishna and uttered his name, "Govind!".

Ishq Hai!!!

Suddenly, a voice of singing could be heard, a beautiful voice Which grabbed everyone's attention. They all looked at the direction and saw that a guy with peacock feather was coming inside the hall, with all the ladies now surrounding him. Soon, he became the center of attention instead of the bride and groom. All the ladies around him started dancing as Vaishnavi's musicians started playing the music.

Teri Aankho Ke Matvale Kajal Ko Mera Salam Zulfo Ke Kale Kale Badal Ko Mera Salam

Krishna started singing and dancing around Vaishnavi, who was looking at him with a bright smile on her face. He dragged her to the center of the hall and soon, the whole Team Arjun joined him along with Rukmini and started dancing.

Ghayal Kar De Mujhe Yaar Tere Payal Ki Jhankar Hey Soni Soni Teri Soni Har Ada Ko Salam (Salaam-E-Ishq Ishq Ishq Salaam-E-Ishq) - (2)

With Vaishnavi in the middle, everyone started dancing around her. With Krishna's presence there, the whole environment changed from a gloomy one to a festive one. Rukmini went and held Vaishnavi, caressed her cheeks and pushed her to dance as well.

Ho Salaam-E-Ishq Salaam-E Salaam-E-Ishq Salaam-E) - (2) Ishq Hai

Draupadi and Subhadra started to dance around her as well, while Vaishnavi was looking at Arjun, who was adoring her as she was making a pout face, not interested in this. He chuckled looking at her grumpy behaviour and she gasped looking at that. This motivated her to dance for the song. Soon, Draupadi started to sing.

Ho Teri Mastani Anjani Batao Ko Mera Salam Rango Me Doobi Doobi Raato Ko Mera Salam Khwabo Me Kho Gayi Mai Diwani Ho Gayi Mai Ho Sone Sone Aise Sone Har Ada Ko Salam Salam-E-Ishq Ishq Ishq Salam-E-Ishq (Ho Salaam-E-Ishq Salaam-E Salaam-E-Ishq Salaam-E) - (2) Ishq Hai

Vaishnavi started dancing as well looking at Arjun, as if to try and tell him that she, infact, is interested in whatever was happening. He Just smiled looking at her, as he successfully managed to make her dance and sing.

Ho Salaam-E-Ishq Salaam-E Salaam-E-Ishq Salaam-E) - (2) Ishq Hai

Duryodhan was pulled into it forcefully, and he was protesting to it. But, as soon as he saw a happy and dancing Vaishnavi, he forgot the whole world and just stared at her. Draupadi and Subhadra sang circling her.

Ho Tere Htthaa Vich Mehandi Ka Rang Khila Hai Tujhe Sapno da Changa Mehboob Mila Hai, Meri Banno Pyari Pyari Saari Duniya Se Nyari, Ise Doli Mein Tu Le Jaa Doliya Doliya...........

Draupadi caressed Vaishnavi's cheeks and sang with a tear in her eye. Vaishnavi held her hand and gave her an apologetic look, to which both Subhadra and Draupadi shook their heads. Draupadi, Subhadra and Vaishnavi group hugged soon after. Krishna came and looked at them raising his eyebrows and bobbing his head, and laughed making them break the hug. Arjun, who was sitting there admiring his wife smiling and dancing, was dragged into the stage by his brothers and they deliberately pushed him to the center, making him stand in front of her. Soon, he started singing, circling her slowly without breaking the eye contact.

Teri Meri Nazar Jo Milli Pehli Baar Ho Gaya Ho Gaya Tujhse Pyaar Dil Hai Kya Dil Hai Kya Jaan Bhi Tujhoe Nisar Maine Tujhpe Kiya Aitbar

Vaishnavi looked at him toungue-tied, while he came in front of her again as soon as he finished his line. Rukmini, to make everyone divert from them, as they are at the center stage, started singing to Krishna.

Ho Mai Bhi To Tujhpe Mar Gayi Diwanapan Kya Kar Gayi Meri Har Dhakan Betab Hai Palko Vich Tera Khwab Hai

Rukmini kept her elbow on her husband's shoulder and Krishna smiled at her admiringly. Duryodhan, sipping on his alchohol, looked at how everyone was singing beside Vaishnavi, even Arjun. And he also saw how she was looking at Arjun with dumbfounded expression and Arjun's lyrics are giving away the truth. So, he came to the center and started singing to her.

Ho Jaan Se Bhi Pyaari Pyaari Janiya Ko Salam (Ho Salaam-E-Ishq Salaam-E Salaam-E-Ishq Salaam-E) - (2) Ishq Hai

He started dancing, soon his brothers and his friend joined him. And much to Vaishnavi's surprise, they were not bad at all. Manageable, but their efforts were cute to her. So, she chuckled a little, which felt like a victory to him. He looked at Arjun and smirked, which she noticed as well. She turned around to see Arjun's reaction, and saw that he was annoyed beyond words.

She then thought of implementing Rukmini"s plan of making him jealous. So, she started dancing with Duryodhan and his brothers, with a smiling expression. This, now, majorly affected Arjun's ego, and her plan worked well on him. So he came in front of her and started singing, while the Kaurava brothers slowly stopped dancing.

Mai Tere Ishq Me Do Jaha Vaar Du Mere Vaade Pe Kar Le Yakeen Keh Rahi Hai Zameen Keh Raha Aasman Tere Jaisa Duja Nahi

He sang looking at her, which made her more pissed off. He should not be the one who should be singing about promises. So, she started singing towards him while raising her one eyebrow.

Ho Aise Jadu Na Daal Ve Na Aaun Main Tere Naal Ve Jhuti Taarife Chhod De

She was singing these lines looking at him, and for the next line, she immediately went towards Duryodhan and sang looking at him.

Ab Dil Mere Dil Se Jod De

Duryodhan's happiness knew no bounds, as she was singing about him. Meanwhile, Rukmini was just stifling her laugh looking at Arjun's reaction. Duryodhan happily started singing and dancing.

Ho Jo Abhi Hai Dil Se Nikli Uss Dua Ko Salam Salaam-E-Ishq Salaam-E-Ishqishq Ishq Salaam-E-Ishq (Ho Salaam-E-Ishq Salaam-E Salaam-E-Ishq Salaam-E) - (2) Ishq Hai

Arjun was getting more and more jealous, but Bheem held his shoulder, and nodded at him, indicating that Vaishnavi was succeeding in making Duryodhan believe that she indeed was interested in this marriage. Arjun controlled himself, but he couldn't see that his wife was dancing with Duryodhan, and he also understood that she was doing all this deliberately. And he hated the fact that she was successfully making him very jealous.

Calming himself down closing his eyes, he gathered up all those things he wanted to say to her until now. He opened his eyes, grabbed her wrist and got her to the center again. Team Arjun was dancing around them, circling them, making them not appear to others outside. Slowly kneeling down in front of her, he started singing.

Rab Se Hai Iltija Maaf Kar De Mujhe Mai To Teri Ibadat Karu Aye Meri Soniye Na Khabar Hai Tujhe Tujhse Kitni Mohobbat Karu

She looked at him with tears in her eyes, as whatever he was singing, it was coming out of his heart, not just mouth. Immediately, she was hit by the flashbacks of her being really happy with him. Without thinking anything, She slowly made him get up on his feet, by singing.

Tere Bin Sab Kuch Benoor Hai Meri Mang Me Tera Sindoor Hai Sanso Me Yehi Paigam Hai Mera Sab Kuch Tere Naam Hai

Arjun smiled at her and Sang while going towards her and she slowly went backwards.

Ho Dhadkano Me Rehne Wali Soniye Ko Salam

Smiling at each other, they were lost in each other's eyes. Those lines really touched her heart. She sang out,

Salaam-E-Ishq

But, she accidentally stomped on her skirt, making her fall. But, Arjun held her by her waist, preventing her from falling. She came out of the trance and came out of his hold as well. She was unable to make any eye contact with him. He smirked at her, and playfully started singing.

Teri Aankho Ke Matvale Kajal Ko Mera Salam Zulfo Ke Kale Kale Badal Ko Mera Salam

Soon, The team Arjun dissolved from their circling position and danced along with each other, making the Kaurava brothers to dance as well. Vaishnavi looked at her husband dumbfounded, as he successfully got her on his grip, and he winked at her. She pouted and went towards Duryodhan and danced with him again. Rukmini, Subhadra and Draupadi started singing.

Khwabo Me Kho Gayi Mai Diwani Ho Gayi Mai Ho Sone Sone Aise Sone Har Ada Ko Salam Salaam-E-Ishq

There it is again, the jealousy. Arjun couldn't tolerate anymore and dragged her out of the place, without anyone noticing. Team Arjun just made everyone dance with them, as everyone was totally submerged in alcohol.

Salaam-E-Ishqishq Ishq Salaam-E-Ishq Ho Salaam-E-Ishq Salaam-E Salaam-E-Ishq Salaam-E

The whole environment changed into a party one with everyone, literally everyone was dancing for the song. Meanwhile, holding Vaishnavi's wrist, Arjun dragged her away to Duryodhan's chamber and locked the door, while locking her between him and the door.

"Arjun! What are you doing?", she barely managed to utter as he was dangerously close to her, his breath tickling her nose. He held her chin and asked, "What do you think you are doing? To me?".
