||SAGA OF LOVE||

KALABHAVAN

Arjun and Nakul were waiting for their princesses to come, but by now only Devesh and Yuddhistir came along with Bheem and Sehdev.

Yuddhistir and Devesh had bonded very well and were looking forward for a good friendship. The entire time they were talking about Kingdoms, politics and economics.

Seeing Devesh, Nakul's jaw dropped. He thought his looks were unparalleled yet there entered Anart-raj with all his charms. Arjun noticed it and chuckled as he closed Nakul's mouth, bring him back to his senses.

Soon the princesses entering the Kala-bhavan, the eyes of Arjun and Nakul started glittering seeing them. Both went towards them to welcome them in.

"Welcome to Kala-bhavan Rajkumaris." Nakul said.

"Please do come in." Arjun said.

"What's this arrangement for ?" Dusshala asked.

"To have some fun with our guests and get to know them better." Nakul said.

"Do have a seat." Arjun said.

Savyasachi, Madhavi, Dusshala and Subhadra sat down on the seats. Seeing a seat empty beside his love, Arjun quickly sat down there.

"Rajkumari ?" He called, Savyasachi looked at him.

"My Mata told me its not polite to ask a beautiful lady's name, but I just cannot resist myself. What is your name ?" Arjun asked.

"Its Savyasachi." She said.

"Savyasachi ? That's your name ?" Arjun said excitedly. She nodded.

"That's one of my names too." Arjun said.

"Well I was named after you...." Savyasachi muttered.

"Did you say something ?" Arjun asked.

"Nothing. Its just a great coincidence." Savyasachi said.

"It is." Arjun blushed.

"Bhrata Arjun ! Come here !" Nakul called. Arjun sighed and went there.

"Now when everyone is present here, we will have some great fun." Nakul said.

"And now, there is a rule in this Kala-bhavan that the ones who come here the first time must show their talents." Arjun said.

"Why don't we start with Rajkumari Madhavi ?" Nakul said.

"Me ?" Madhavi asked nervously.

"Yes Rajkumari, now you have many instruments here to play or if your talent lies in your words you can come here and recite a poetry." Nakul said.

"I can play the sitar." Madhavi said.

"Here you go." Arjun said giving her the sitar.

Madhavi started playing sitar and to Nakul it was the most blissful music he had ever heard. The tune was short and sweet but Nakul wished it was a little longer.

"What tune was it Madhavi ?" Devesh asked.

"It was a tune of a story where love birds fly together in sky free from all the restraints." Madhavi said.

"Beautiful." Nakul said looking at Madhavi.

"What ?" Madhavi asked.

"The tune." Nakul said.

"Oh." Madhavi said.

"....and you." Nakul muttered.

"Anart-raj, do you take interest in music ?" Yuddhistir asked.

"Yes I do." Devesh said.

"Can you show something ?" Dusshala asked shyly and Savyasachi noticed it and smirked.

"Of course he will, Dev show her what you got." Savyasachi said.

"What ? Not right now." Devesh asked.

"Are you going to deny the request of such a pretty lady ? Go play the Veena and make me proud." Savyasachi said and Dusshala blushed.

"Yes Anart-raj we would love to hear some." Yuddhistir said.

"Alright if you say so." Devesh said and went at the stage and started playing Veena

He ever since childhood had learnt how to play veena. And one can say he was great at it, just by looking at Dusshala's face. She was completely mesmerized and captivated by it.

"Wow Anart-raj !" Bheem said.

"I have never heard anyone playing such beautiful and clear notes." Sehdev said.

"It was amazing but did Dusshala like it ?" Subhadra asked.

"I-it was beautiful." Dusshala said blushing.

"I'm glad you liked it." Devesh said making Dusshala blush even more.

"Now Rajkumari Savyasachi, does your talent also lies in the strings of Veena ?" Arjun asked.

"My talent lies not in the string of Veena but rather in the string of a bow." Savyasachi said.

"Then this one is all yours." Arjun muttered referring to himself, he smiled as he got one more reason to love her.

"What ?" Savyasachi asked.

"I-I mean this bow and arrow is all yours, and the target is right outside." Arjun covered up, giving her the bow and arrow.

The target was placed right outside the Kala-bhavan, it was little bit visible from here.

"Sachi I challenge you to aim and shoot from right here." Subhadra said.

"But isn't it a little a far ?" Dusshala asked.

"Yeah I mean, I cannot even properly see from right here." Madhavi said.

"That's why its a challenge." Subhadra said.

"And I accept it." Savyasachi said with confidence.

Archery was something she was fully confident in. Savyasachi aimed the arrow from where she was standing at the target placed outside.

Arjun looked at her completely captivated as her long and slender fingers pulled the string behind and then let goes of it.

They hear the arrow hitting the target but weren't able to if it hit the bull's eye.

"I cannot even see the arrow." Dusshala said.

"It hit the centre perfectly." Arjun said.

"Did it ?" Subhadra asked.

"Only one way to find out." Savyasachi said and went outside and others followed her.

Everyone gasped seeing that the arrow at the centre, not even a millimeter here or there, exactly at the centre.

"Too perfect." Bheem said.

"Indeed too perfect." Arjun said looking at Savyasachi.

"What ?" Bheem asked.

"The aim is too perfect." Arjun said.
