Arjun groaned as he adjusted his lehnga after the tiring dance session with Uttara, he looked up at Sairandhri, who smiled at him from where she stood behind the queen, combing her hair. His heart tugged  seeing his queen, the empress of Aryavart being a mere maid.

She smiled at him as he blinked giving her a forced smile, "Excellent Brihannala!" The queen said as she looked at Arjun who smiled, "Thank you my queen." He said in his girly voice as he bowed making the queen smile.

"Wah! Wah! Brihannala. I am once again flabbergasted by the talent and beauty you possess!" Vikrant, one of the courtiers and friend of the king entered as he looked at Arjun with a flirty look on his face, "Brihannala ji your talent is really unmatched, my hearts skips it's beat every time you twirl and move your feet on the dance floor." Vikrant said as he smiled at Arjun, who shuddered in disgust. The queen and the others left leaving Arjun, Vikrant and Panchaali alone.

"Malini ji you only tell your sakhi that my love for her is pure."  Vikrant said as he looked at Panchaali who bit back a laugh and looked at Arjun, who looked completely uncomfortable as he glared at the man in front of him, "Say something Malini ji." The man begged, Draupadi didn't know what to do, her eyes sparkled with amusement as she looked at Arjun and winked at him, "Yes Brihannala, he loves you so much." She said playfully as she moved towards Arjun making him glare at her, she gave him a mischievous smile.

"This union is not possible!" Arjun exclaimed, disgusted looking at the man in front of him, "But whyyyyyyy?!" Vikrant whined like a child making Panchaali bit back another bout of laughter, "because I am an eunuch!" He nearly shouted, "My love for you is unconditional I love you for who you are!" He exclaimed, Panchaali could no longer hold back and she laughed and pretended as though she was coughing, her eyes watering with tears as she looked up at Arjun who was glaring at her.

"But I can't be with you!" Arjun tried again, "But why Brihannala?!" He nearly shouted, "Because I love another!" Arjun exclaimed in desperation. A shocked expression masked Vikrant's face, "NOOOOOOOOO! NO BRIHANNALA! NO! Tell me this is all a lie!" He shouted but Arjun nodded his head, "Yes! Yes Vikrant! Yesss! I can't love another!  My heart and soul already belongs to someone!" Shouted Arjun animatedly, "and who is that?!" Vikrant asked, "Tha.. That is... Granthik! Yes Granthik! He and I are lovers for many lifetimes now! I only belong to Granthik, my Grathu!" Arjun said the first name that was, Nakul's making Vikrant scream no over and over again.

Arjun wrapped his hand around his wife's wrist and pulled her in the secret tunnel. The moment the door to the tunnel closed Panchaali bursted out laughing, "My Grathu! I only belong to my Grathu!" She mimicked him and laughed even louder, he gave her a stinky glare, "What choice did I have?!" Arjun snapped making her laugh harder, "So you think this is funny, I nearly got married there!" He stated frustrated making her laugh harder, "Stop laughing!" He said as he slammed his lips against hers.

Her back pressed against the wall as her chest pressed hard against his, he lips moved against hers in a punishing manner making her moan, his tongue fought with hers for dominance as his hands tightened on her waist, all the love and care that he had suppressed for so long came pouring out as his lips moved harder against hers, her addictive taste making him groan as her hands wrapped around his neck, as she tugged at his hair he smiled in the kiss, he pulled back as he pressed his lips to jawline and began kissing down to her neck, "I missed you so much Arya." She gasped as he continued to touch and kiss her. "I missed you so much more princess." He whispered as he sucked on her nape making pleasure zing through her body, "I love you so much." Arjun whispered in her ear as he lightly bit her lobe making her clench her hand on his shoulder, "I love you more arya." She nearly moaned the words.

He laid his head on her shoulder as he breathed heavily, his wife was no different, he tried to calm himself as he pressed his lips to her ear, "my precious girl." He whispered making her hands tighten on his clothes, "Can we stop the time here arya? I just want to forget everything and stay with you forever in this moment, here in your arms." She whispered as she ran her fingers through his head that he rested on her shoulder. "I wish we could." He whispered as he pulled back as he looked down at her,  "So much has changed." He whispered as he cupped her cheeks, "but not our love, if anything it has just grown stronger." Whispered and he nodded.

"Yes, everything has changed yet nothing really has because the most important thing, your love and you are with me." He cooed making her nod, "Of course I am." She whispered, "Where would Panchaali be expect her Pandavas?" She asked as she cupped her cheeks, "I love you so much, at times I fear, what would I do if I lost you." He whispered, "you don't need to worry about it, I could never leave you arya!" She whispered as she looked at him, he smiled as he pressed his lips to her forehead. "I know my sweet and if you did I would follow you till the end of the world." He promised making her smile as he laid his forehead against hers and the two got lost in the moment, in the cocoon of their love, where no negativity could ever reach either of them or harm them. . .

"Kank ji!" Shouted a voice from the left corner of the room. Yudhisthir looked up from the scroll and sighed in frustration, Vikrant stood there with tears  running down his cheeks as he glared at no one in particular, "Kank ji! I want you to remove Granthik from his job right this instant." He shouted making Yudhisthir's heart hammer in his chest, what was wrong? Did he know their secret? "What happened?" He asked pretending to be annoyed, when in reality his heart was hammering in his chest crazily with fear, "He... He is the love of my Brihannala's life! And as long as he is here she won't love me!" He complained vexed,  Yudhisthir wanted to laugh, poor Arjun, he didn't know what was about his brother's attracting men! He understood when Lakhan wanted to marry Nakul, he was disguised a girl but Arjun? He is disguised as an eunuch here! Yet he had admirers, he shook his head.

"Just because someone loves him you're planning to remove him from his job that's adharm." Yudhisthir stated making Vikrant give him a stink glare, he turned around and left, but Dharmraj didn't give him much thought, no one would take his request seriously.

The sound of the soft anklets of his wife had him smiling, "Pranipat Kank ji." She said formally, he looked up at her and his gaze fell on her veiled face, his heart skipped a beat like it always did when she was around.

"Yes Sairandhri." He said formally as he can still see some guards around, "Could I possibly go to the markets?" She asked looking at him, he had recommended here and everyone in the palace knew that he was a good friend of her elder brother, a story that they had made up, hence the king had let all her responsibilities to him which he was more than grateful for if her responsibility was given to Kichak like all the other servants, he didn't know what he would do.

"Vallab will be going with you." He stated as the daas and daasis worked around them, Bheem was posing as a cook and a wrestler, kind of like a guard so it wouldn't look strange of him going with her. She nodded as she joined her hands and left, his hands clenching as he watched eyes of all the men following her. He wanted to grouch everyone's eyes but held it all in.

He wanted some alone time with her, it had been too long, he couldn't wait for the night. The time seemed to pass slower as he waited for the sun to go down, when would it?

Bheem cut the vegetables as he hummed a song, he loved his job here, there was no one around here as everyone knew when he worked he needed his privacy and they did follow his orders.

"Arya." He heard the soft whisper of his wife, he looked up at her, Panchaali's veil was lifted and she had a smile on her face, his heart skipped it's beats, he abandoned all his work as he moved towards her, "My precious girl." He whispered as he wrapped his arms around her, she smiled as she laid her head on his chest as he sighed, rubbing his hand on her back. He pressed a kiss on her head as a calmness and completeness washed over him, "I missed you so much." He whispered as he nuzzled her neck, she looked up at him and smiled.

"So how come you're here?" He asked as he ran his fingers through her hair, "I wanted to go to the market and arya Yudhisthir said to take you along. Would you come?" She asked as she looked up at him, he beamed at her as he dropped a quick kiss on her nose, "with you? Anytime." He said proudly as he took her hand in his and they moved to the secret tunnel, "Finally I get some Panchaali time!" He cheered like a child making her giggle, "Oh really? You missed me so much?" She teased as she looked at him, who smirked, he wrapped his arm around her waist as he rested his back against the wall.

Her front pressed into his as her hands rested on his chest, "You have no idea, how much I missed just simply being with you. You know touching this soft cheeks, this beautiful long neck, kissing this luscious lips." He mumbled softly as his intense gaze arrested hers, her heart beat wildly as his fingers traced her cheeks, neck and lips, a look of longing on his face,"You have no idea,how I just miss being with you. The late night talks, your melodious giggles, the secret intimate moments when you would all be mine, moaning and gasping my name, cuddling with you after long hours of lovemaking. Or just sitting and listening to those animated stories of yours." He whispered as he looked at her, his gaze was intense making her heart flutter wildly in her chest, she smiled as she looked up at him.

"And what more?" She asked softly, "You crying like a cry baby." He teased as he laughed and she gave him a playful glare as she hit his chest lightly. "You still are a meanie." She whispered, "Uh huh. But I am you're meanie, ain't I?" He whispered in her ear, she looked up at him with a raised brow and a mischievous smile, "Maybe. I am not sure." She whispered, making him raise his brow,"So what do I do to convince my highness?" He asked as he traced her cheeks, "That you have to decide." She whispered back huskily as he began trailing kisses down her cheeks to her neck making her heart quiver in her chest as his each kiss made her burn with an intense need, "Convinced?"  He huskily asked making her shake her head, he sucked on the nape of her neck making her quiver harder as an intense pleasure ran through her body.

"Still not convinced?" He teased, "Is that the best you've got?" She teased making him growl as he slammed his lips against hers, she moaned out loud as he bit her lips as they moved in a sync with hers, sparks rushing through her body as with his touch her entire body came alive as she lost herself in him. . .
