the week passed within a snap and it was the time for madhavs arrival 

everybody including subhadra were present at the door of the kingdom to welcome him 

soon they saw the chariot and it stopped after reaching them  and krishna with his charming smile 

subhadra went forward and hugged him tightly  

he hugged her back 

krishna : how are you my bhadrey 

subhadra : i am fine bhratashree , but what brings you here 

krishna : seems like you dont want me to enter 

at this subhdra said quickly : no no bhrarashree come in 

everybody laughed 

in the private meeting hall all the pandavas and krsihna along with subhadra were sitting 

krishna had a letter kind of thing in his hand 

arjun : what is that in your hand madav 

yushishthir : and what brings you here

krishna : calm down everyone , i will tell you everyhting  

with that he passes the roll in his hands to yudhusthir and he opens it 

madhav : this is the invitation which had come from panchal naresh drupad , he is organising  a swaymvar for his daughter draupadi and i have come here personally to invite you all to the swaymvar on his behalf 

arjun : but madhav , why are we invited 

krishna : maharaj drupad wanted every eligible prince to be present on the swayamvar day so that his daughter can choose from the best

at this subhdra looked questionably at krishna  

arjun : but madhav , i dont want to participate , in the swayamvar , can we reject the invitation?

krishna : well parth , not going will look disrespectful , you can atleast give your presence and not participate

arjun nodded not fully satisfied 

krishna : the swayamvar will be held 5 days from now , you all can prepare for the journey 

then after the lunch krishna left as he had some work in dwarka 

at the chamber 

subhadra was standing in the balcony looking at the moon lost in some thoughts of her own 

arjun entered silently from the gate and backhugged her and rested his chin on her shoulder 

arjun : what happene love , where are you lost 

subhdra : arya , i dont feel right about this swayamvar , why is my heart so nervous , why is it getting restless

arjun : dont worry love , nothing will go wrong , do you trust me ?

subhadra  :  more than myself arjun !

then subhadra turned back and said out of nowhere 

subhadra : can we go to the garden , i wanna have a sword fight match 

the two of them nodded and went to the garden and started doing sword fight 

subhadra was feirce but arjun was just gently dodging her , letting her dominate 

soon she kept her sword on his neck 

the two's bodies were touching , even the air had no space between them 

he pulled her closer by throwing away the sword 

arjun : my fierce lioness , getting dominant huh !!

subhdra :  what do you mean by getting , i am the dominant one hear , you follow my orders , okhayy

at this arjun chuckled and kisses her both the cheeks 

her cheeks turned crimson and due to shyness , she hid her face in arjuns chest 

arjun : someone was saying they were the dominant one here , i dont see the feistyness now , did the great warrior and pricess of dwarka, my highness get shy ?

at this subhadra cutely hit him on his chest 

then after some time she pulled back from his chest , still in his arms though 

and said lokking directly into his eyes " i love you "

he replied with a sincere " i love you more my highness"

then she was going to say something further but a wave of dizziness hit her , and for support she clutched on arjuns bicep tightly 

arjun { concerned } : are you okay subhadra , what happened ?

subhadra after getting stable and okay replied 

subhadra: " arya i know i am getting scolded for this , but yesterday was a fast and andddddd , since the morning , i have not eaten anything , so i am dizzy 

at this arjun got angry and started scolding her while carrying her to room " you are such a careless gurl , why cant you take care of yourself , stupid person , i am not gonna talk to you for a week if this repeats next time !!!!"

 then he put her on the bed and when the food arrived , he fed her with his own hands 

the span of 5 days went in a blink of eye and now all of them were being welcomed in panchal 

at the door 

drupad naresh and madhav were standing welcoming them 

the drupad called somebody , a beautiful lady arrived and her eyes met ajruns

" meet my daughter , draupadi "
