Uloopi was in her room, resting on the bed eradicating the tiredness of a long day. Her eyes were stuck on the ceiling, it was illusory sky, with matchless resemblance of the infinite stars.

'thup' she heard footsteps, she raised her head slightly knowing it was either Arjun or some Dasis. Her lips habitually smiled for him. "Arya," She spoke getting up and sitting on the bed.

Arjun looked at her, she was awake, "You did not sleep?" He asking taking a seat next to her. 

"I was waiting for you." KauravyaNandini muttered, slipping her hands in his hairs. She moved closer and kissed his forehead, brushing her lips on his hairs.

Arjun smiled, he leaned into her touch and rested his head into her lap. Finding one of the most comfort places, Arjun's face turned blissful beauty.

"You know, you don't have to wait for me." Arjun spoke lightly, Uloopi chuckled, "I know; but I want to." 

After days of continuous working and dangers, everything was finally settled.

Diwakar had agreed to speak truth in front of Sabha; It gave doubts to Arjun that why he did not reveal the truth at the moment, but he had to agree to that man. 

Jarasandh had already left, and his ministers were on their way to bring the 15% of Magadh's treasury.

Nayantara, the new bride of Indraprasth was extremely delighted, the problems hovering over her family and kingdom was now gone. Thus to express her gratitude of her Lord, she had decided to a raat jagaran and puja of Shri Ram.

Kritvarma, who was disturbed with Diwakar's words and actions, decided to walk around armoury; for it was peaceful to him.

"Last few days were crazy." Uloopi commented, her hands running through Arjun's hairs habitually. Arjun chuckled, but his face carried a serious expression. The Queen of Indraprasth saw this and questioned, "What are you thinking?"

"I think this is just a start, and more trouble is going to come," Arjun sighed, he held her hands and squeezed them gently, a way to assure her and himself as well.

Uloopi bend down reaching his face and joined their foreheads, she whispered, "Then whatever trouble comes, we are in this together." Arjun's warm hand provided her a comfort she needed badly.

Arjun held her cheeks tenderly and bought her face a little down, locking his eyes in hers. Uloopi blinked twice and got up, chuckling she muttered, "My neck will pain." She squeezed his hand quietly. 

Taking a cue, Arjun got up from his sleeping posture and sat in front of her, "Apologizes, your highness." He said giving a small dramatic bow.

"Well, all is forgiven you poor peasant." She replied sarcastically, imitating a pompous arrogant princess. Arjun gave a fearful nod, to which Uloopi burst out laughing. Arjun followed a second later, laughing whole-heartedly, after a really long time.

The air was light, the tension had been reduced. The period of dark clouds hovering over Indraprasth had been gone. 

Knowing that it was safe again, "You know Arya," Uloopi started, "now that everything is alright, we should bring Vrinda back. I miss her already," 

"I wish that too," Arjun said with a small sigh, "But now Radha Maa won't send her. She is too attached." 

"And who wouldn't be, she is like a magnet that attracts every good thing around." Uloopi replied, amused. "Why don't you invite Radha Maa and Adhirath Baba as well, Nayantara has not met them yet, this would be brilliant." Uloopi suggested.

Arjun looked at his wife, "Yes," He excitedly spoke.

"I never knew you were so smart," Arjun teased, at the same time he wondered, how long it had been since they talked so freely. Many things had happened between that time and today.

Uloopi smiled teasingly, she circled her arms around his neck and played along, "Your majesty, there are many things you don't know about me, yet." She stared in his eyes as she spoke.

Arjun's arms whirled around her waist, "Then show me." He spoke under his breath.

Uloopi smirked, she moved even closer, she could feel his hot uneven breath as her lips traced his forehead. She kissed his eyes, nose and the corner of lips. Arjun chuckled, 'women' liked to tease. Uloopi noticed this and cupped his cheeks lovingly, she planted her lips on his; 

And very soon they were tugging each other's clothes and the stars, the moon and the sky witnessed the union of the two souls.

The sun rose, as usual, but today there was happiness, delight and peace. Arjun opened his eyes, and saw his Queen, sleeping besides him. He gently patted her cheeks, trying to wake her. Uloopi groaned, she needed a good sleep and the prat of her husband wouldn't let her take her beauty sleep- not that she would ever complaint.

Her cheeks turned in the shade of darker red when she saw him, thinking of yesterday night. She went deeper in her silk blankets, trying to hide her very obvious red face.

"Uloopi," Her husband called softly, and she peeked out, making Arjun chuckle- Let it be known that men do not giggle- 

His eyes carried a concerned expression, "Are you okay?" Watching her drown in the sheets of blanket without saying a word, it alarmed him, his immediate thoughts were about her health.

He kept his hands on her neck and forehead and sighed in relief, "Not fever."

Before Arjun could start any other diagnosis, Uloopi chuckled and replied, "I am fine.

Arjun nodded. Uloopi smiled, only Arjun would be so caring and gentle. 

"How about we go out in the markets in the evening?" Uloopi suggested, "Like we did in Hastinapur?" 

It would be great to roam around tension free, and Arjun deserved a small break.
In the back of her mind, she was already planning to bring Radha Maa and Adhirath Pita to Indraprasth for sometime.

She also thought about organizing some carnival, for her people and family.

"Sounds great," Arjun replied smiling.
