Happiness is a colourful appearance, a cheerful aura which makes us float happily with its flow, but what about happiness be like a plain white sheet? We can have the authority to paint that sheet of happiness on our own. A scenario with the true shade of this idea was going occur in this part of story.

On the way of Indraprastha Karenumati, Arjun and Subhadra got the chance of staying in forest for one day. That night Arjun suggested for a night stroll which was approved by Subhadra.

"Do we have any destination?" Subhadra asked after walking for long time.

"What if we don't? Sometimes randomness has more relaxation than certainty," Hiding his smile he answered.

"You are right," She uttered in disappointment.

"I know you are tired. That was the reason you asked about destination," Turning towards her he flashed a smile with its full appearance.

"I thought my words will ruin your cheerful mood. That was why didn't tell anything about my tiredness," Hesitation was evident in his voice and smile.

"Actually I took this long route knowingly," His naughty smirked made her frown.

"But why?" She questioned.

"Before answering you may I ask a question?" He too questioned her in return.

"If you permit then may I lessen your burden?" She understood his intention, and hummed matching the slow pace of wind.

"Ohhh! So, this was your intention behind taking long route!" She spoke after he picked her up in arms, and started to walk.

"You are smart in catching indications on," He slowed down his pace to complement her enjoying her soft chuckle.

He put her down near a lake.

"It's simply calm and beautiful," She roamed her eyes around.

"I have thought something to make this time more beautiful," Guiding her towards the lake he showed the stuffs which were arranged as per his instructions.

"Let's lighten our surrounding," He made her sit, and forwarded an earthen diya.

They lightened earthen diya one by one, placed those safely at the centre of lotus, and surrendered those to the flow of lake. It was seeming like they drew a miniature of galaxy on the water surface of lake.

"I liked your idea," She smiled happily balancing her praising stare in between the sight of lake and Arjun.

"Not mine it's your idea. Do you remember the day you accepted my proposal?" His words carried her back to the past.

Flashback:

It was the time when Arjun had confessed his love, and was waiting for Subhadra's answer. She had asked one day to convey her decision.

"Bhrara Arjun, don't worry she will say yes only," Nakul tried to console Arjun's impatience.

"Hope so, Nakul!" Arjun sighed to release a portion of his restlessness.

"If she rejects your proposal then I will request her to be my sister in law. I am sure she can't deny my loveliness," Nakul told maintaining seriousness in his tone, but at the end a chuckle escaped from his mouth.

"Are you comforting me or attempting the opposite?" Arjun glared at Nakul taking some steps closer to him.

"Bhrata, control yourself. She's coming here," Luckily Nakul noticed Subhadra, and took advantage of that opportunity.

"May you get the best as your result," Nakul blessed Arjun putting hand on his head dramatically, and ran away before Arjun could take any action.

"Greetings, result! I mean princess Subhadra," Arjun stammered as he was absent minded.

"Seems like today you aren't happy with my presence," She thought to play with him at that time which was suitably enjoyable for her.

"No, nothing like that. I was waiting for you only," He uttered in quick.

"Waiting for me or for my reply?" Her question pulled the rein of his restlessness.

"I won't deny that more than you I was waiting for your reply," He accepted genuinely.

"More than wait we should make own worth of our happiness. Delight increases when we decorate the path of happiness on our own," She couldn't resist to smile while expressing her heart indirectly.

"It means your answer is yes, right?" His face brightened up.

"Of course, it's yes," Giggling the sweetest she replied.

Flashback ended

"I too thought to decorate the path of our happiness which I wish to be calm like this lake," He held her hand pulling her into his embrace.

"You are a good learner," She surrendered her to his affectionate grip.

"Only a good learner not a good partner? He complained making her giggle.

"You are the best partner," Snuggling more to him she increased the solace of that time under sky.

Solace was getting sovereign over their souls along with the shine of stars over the surface of earth.
