"No, Putri, now not you," Kunti said, "it's gonna be so wrong with you. You can't go through all that."

"But I can't stay without him." Draupadi answered softly, "I will miss you maa," Kunti was in tears.
"Now don't shed tears, it will turn hard for us to leave."

"And Uruvi, you can stay here in Hastinapur, you are not helpless and lonely. They will take care of us just like they took of time. Maybe you were really wronged." Draupadi said to Uruvi, who didn't reply to this.

"We take our leave." Arjun said and the twins hugged him.
