Draupadi served drinks to Krishna and Satyabhama who had come to Indraprasth to meet Pandavas. Sitting down beside Satrajiti, Panchali sighed.

"This reminds me of the days, when we used to spend leisure time in Dwarika. Only if Arya Arjun was here." Draupadi said.

Satyabhama looked at her best friend sadly and kept a hand on her shoulder. Krishna smiled sadly at Draupadi.

"Everything will fall in place when the right time comes." He assured.

"Govind, three years have passed since Arya Arjun left for penance. Don't you think he must've gotten free from his moh and concerns now ? Shouldn't we bring him back ?" Draupadi asked.

"We cannot bring Arjun back. Who are we to him ?" Krishna said.

"You are his friend and I am his wife." Draupadi said.

"Seems like you forgot what he said before leaving. Arjun has renounced all his bounds, because you all didn't tell him where Rukmika was on time. He could've indeed saved her." Krishna said.

"But she had made me swear on her life." Draupadi said.

"Sometimes one must break promises, sometimes one must tell a lie for the upliftment of righteousness which leads to greater good. This is the subtle nature of Dharma." Krishna explained.

"I suppose you are right there. But sakha, is there no way we can bring Arya back ?" Draupadi asked worriedly.

"Only his Rukmika can bring him back now." Krishna said.

"Swami, why are tormenting her in the trap of your words with unclear meanings ? Dear Draupadi, by the grace of Mahakaal Rukmika has taken birth as my sister Syamantaki." Satyabhama said.

"What ?" Draupadi's eyes widened.

"Yes. The gods were distressed by the energy generated from Arjun's penance. And hence they approached Mahadev. With his blessings and Swami's guidance, my father did a yagya and through Syamantak Mani, obtained a daughter." Satyabhama said.

"Thank Mahadev. So why did Syamantaki still not bring Arya Arjun back ?" Draupadi asked.

"She obviously wouldn't remember her past life." Satyabhama said.

"And there is another hurdle in the way." Draupadi sighed resting her forehead over her fingers.

"Even Bhagwaan Hanuman had forgotten his true self due to a curse. But when Jambuvant reminded him of his powers, then remembered who he was. Similarly if we try to remind Syamantaki, she will probably remember." Krishna said.

"But Swami, how will we remind her ?" Satyabhama said.

Draupadi looked down and thought for a moment before a smile appeared on her face.

"The letters !" Draupadi said.

"The letters ?" Satyabhama asked.

"Yes. Satya, the letters that were exchanged between Arya and her are reflective of their love story. I am sure she will remember everything from reading the letters." Draupadi smiled.

"Well then dear, give me those letters. I shall give it to her. We are about to visit my father soon." Satyabhama said.

"Yes I will give them to you. And then she will find Arya Arjun and bring him back." Draupadi said hopefully.

On the other side, someone else was also eager to find the whereabouts of Arjun.

"Nagasur-raj Kaalkhand, it has been three years and yet you have not taken the revenge of the late Maharaj Vishkaal. The Nagasuras will cease to trust you if revenge is not taken." A minister said.

"The Kulguru of our race is using his powers to find where that Arjun is. I know it's taking time, but I promise once we find out where he is, then I shall end him at once !" Kaalkhand said.
