Chapter 98

"ARYA." DRAUPADI SAID. "YES PRIYE?" BHEEM SAID. "CAN YOU GO AND FETCH WATER?" DRAUPADI SAID. "SURE. BUT DON'T GO OUT ANYWHERE." BHEEM SAID AND WENT TO FETCH WATER. DRAUPADI WAS JUST SITTING IN ROOM. YUDHISTIR AND KARN HAD WENT TO MADIR, SHAHADEV AND NAKUL WERE JUST WANDERING OUT FOR SOME AIR ALONG WITH PRAKRITI WHO WAS QUITE ENJOYING, ARJUN HAD WENT TO SHIV MANDIR AND WOULD BE RETURNING SOON AND VISHAKHA AND PADMAVATI WERE BUSY FEEDING PRADYUMNA.

DRAUPADI STOOD ON THE DOORSTEP AND WAS ABOUT TO TURN AROUND BUT WAS STOPPED BY AN UNFAMILIAR MALE VOICE. "DEVI!" THE MAN SAID. "YES YAJMAN?" DRAUPADI SAID. "IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN YOU MUST BE SURYAVANSHI DRAUPADI." THE MAN SAID. "YES, YOU ARE NOT MISTAKEN." DRAUPADI SAID.

"I AM SINDHU RAJ JAYADRATH." JAYADRATH SAID. "PRANIPAT SINDHU RAJ HOW MAY I HELP YOU?" DRAUPADI ASKED. "WELL YOU SEE I AM THIRSTY SO I WAS EXPECTING HELP FROM YOU." JAYADRATH SAID TO WHICH DRAUPADI JUST SMILED AND WENT INSIDE TO BRING A GLASS OF WATER.

JAYADRATH TOOK THE GLASS AND DRANK THE WATER AS DRAUPADI WAS ABOUT TO TURN AROUND JAYADRATH CAUGHT HER HAND. "SINDHU RAJ?" DRAUPADI ASKED. "SORRY BUT CAN YOU BRING MORE WATER I AM STILL THIRSTY." JAYADRATH SAID AND DRAUPADI AGAIN BROUTH A GLASS OF WATER FOR HIS.

THIS TIME WHEN DRAUPADI TURNED AROUND TO LEAVE HIS HANDS TRAVELED TO HER WAIST AND HIP MAKING HER SLAP HIS HAND AWA ROUGHLY. "SINDHU RAJ! STAY IN YOUR LIMITS." DRAUPADI SAID. "WELL I THOUGHT YOU WOULD HEPL ME TO CLEAR MY THIRST." JAYADRATH SAID.

"WASN'T THE WATER ENOUGH?" DRAUPADI ASKED. "OH MY INNOCENT PRIYE. ONLY ONE THING CAN CLEAR MY THIRST. YOU... I AM THIRSTY FOR YOU" JAYADRATH SAID SEDUCTIVELY MAKING DRAUPADI DISGUSTED. "SINDHU RAJ FOR YOUR KIND INFORMATION I AM MARRIED AND A MOTHER OF MY NEWBORN." DRAUPADI SAID. "I DON'T CARE." JAYADRATH SAID.

"BUT I DO." DRAUPADI SAID. "NOW COME ON PRIYE. THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS THAT YOU ARE A WHORE. THOUGH YOUR HUSBAND HAS A BOON TO EMERGE OF DE-EMERGE HE STILL IS 6 DIFFERENT PERSON. WHEN YOU ARE TIRED WITH ONE YOU MOVE TO OTHER. ONE MORE WON'T HURT." JAYADRATH SAID.

THE WORDS PIERCED SHARPER AND DEEPER THAN ANY KNIVES, SWORD OR ARROWS. SHE DID HAD INTERCOURSE WITH THEM INDIVIDUALLY BUT NOT LIKE A WHORE OR ANYTHING. THOUGH IT WAS A LIE AND WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO HURT HER IT STILL DID.

"WATCH WHAT YOU ARE TALKING SINDHU RAJ. GET LOST FROM HERE OR MY HUSBAND WON'T HESITATE TO KILL YOU." DRAUPADI WARNED BUT HE JUST LAUGHED. "OFCOURSE THEY WILL COME TO SAVE THEIR TOY AFTERALL WHO WILL PLEASE THEM AND SATISFY THEIR NEEDS." JAYADRATH SAID.

DRAUPADI FELT A HARD LUMP ON HER THROAT MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR HER TO SPEAK. "NOW COME WITH ME WHORE." JAYADRATH SAID PULLING HER. SHE WANTED TO SCREAM BUT THE LUMP ON HER THROAT AND WOUNDS ON HER HEART STOPPED HER.

JAYADRATH PULLED HER TO HIS CHARIOT. "SEE YOU WHORE NOBODY IS HERE. NOW WHO WILL SAVE YOU FROM MY THIRST?" JAYADRATH SAID. "ARYA.." THE WORDS LEFT DRAUPADI'S MOUTH. BHEEM AND ARJUN WERE RETURNING, KARN AND YUDHISTIR WERE BY THE NEARBYTEMPLE, NAKUL AND SHAHADEV WERE SOMEWHERE BACK OF THEIR HUT I THE FOREST.

JAYADRATH'S CHARIOT STARTED TO MOVE HITTING DRAUPADI'S MIND HARD. "ARYA!!!" DRAUPADI SCREAMED CATCHING THE PANDAVAS. THEY ALL STARTED RUNNING AND REACHED THEIR HUT BUT DIDN'T FIND DRAUPADI. "VISHAKHA, PADMAVATI, SINDHU AJ IS ABDUCTING ME TOWARDS THE NORTH." DRAUPADI SAID AND BEING NAAGKANYAS VISHAKHA AND PADMAVATI HEARD IT AND QUICKLY RUSHED TOWARDS THE HUT.

"KUMAR ARJUN!" PADMAVATI SAID SEEING ARJUN RETURNING. "YES?" ARJUN REPLIED. "SINDHU RAJ HAS ABDUCTED SAMRAGYI TO THE NORTH. GO FAST." VSHAKHA SAID. HEARING THIS ARJUN'S ANGER KNEW NO BOUND HE STARTED RUNNING TOWARDS THE NORTH AND FOUND A WILD HORSE. HE QUICKLY TAMED THE WILD HORSE AND STARTED TO RIDE TOWARDS THE NORTH.
