SWEETHEART DRAUPADI (INNOCENCE OF THE FLAME)

81

EVERYTHING WAS WELL IN INDRAPRASTH, ITS GLORY WAS ALL OVER THE ARYAVRAT. THE PANDAVAS AND DRAUPADI TOO WERE LIVING HAPPILY AND PEACEFULLY BUT..... THERE WAS ONE PROBLEM THAT BUGGED THE PANDAVAS TOO MUCH THAN NEEDED. THE PANDAVAS WERE QUITE STRESSED WITH IT. DRAUPADI KNEW NOTHING ABOUT IT. THE PANDAVAS WERE GOING MAD DUE THE PROBLEM. "THIS IS THE MOST SERIOUS PROBLEM EVER!" SHAHADEV THE MOST INTENLLIGENT PERSON SAID. STRESS AND TENSION WAS ALL OVER HIS FACE AND VOICE SO DID THE REST. AND THE PROBLEM THE CAUSE OF THEIR TENSION WAS....

"HAI MERA BACHAE! DID YOU SLEEP WELL?" DRAUPADI ASKED THE LITTLE ONE WHO JUST WOKE UP.

 "LITTLE ONE.... SHE STOLE MY WIFE." NAKUL SAID. "WE SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT SHE IS LITTLE ONE'S MOTHER" YUDHISTIR SAID WITH A FIRM VOICE AND ATTITUDE BUT IT DIDN'T LAST LONG. "BUT SHE IS MY WIFE!!" YUDHISTIR SAID SULKING. EVER SINCE INDRAPRASTH WAS ESTABLISHED THEY ALL HAD BEEN QUITE BUSY, THE ONLY TIME THEY WERE TOTALLY FREE WAS AT NIGHT.

(THIS IS THE LAST TIME I AM MENTIONING THAT THE EMERGED FORM OF PANDAVAS WILL BE CALLED ARJUN AS WELL. PLEASE KEEP THAT IN MIND IN THE FUTURE CHAPTERS AS WELL.)

BUT CAN LIFE BE THIS BLISSFUL? WHENEVER ARJUN TRIED TO INTERCOURSE WITH DRAUPADI THE DASI ALWAYS USED TO INTERRUPT AS LITTLE ONE WOULD BE CRYING OR HUNGRY OR WOULDN'T SLEEP ETC. ETC. "HE IS A MASTERMIND!" BHEEM SAID. "HE DOES IT ON PURPOSE" KARN SAID. "HE IS TOO INTENLLIGENT" NAKUL SAID. "HIS INTENLLIGENCE IS REACHING THE POINT TO WICKEDNESS." SHAHADEV SAID. "AT THIS POINT HE WON'T HAVE ANY BROTHERS AND SISTERS." ARJUN SAID. "AND WE WON'T HAVE OUR WIFE." YUDHISTIR SAID.

"ARYA!" DRAUPADI CALLED. "YES?" THE PANDAVAS REPLIED. "THE TIME OF RAJSUYA YAGNA IS NEAR, SO RELATED TO THIS BHAIYA IS ARRVING TOMORROW MORNING." DRAUPADI SAID. "OKAY DASI PREPARE A ROOM FOR DWARKADEESH." YUDHISTIR SAID AND THE DASI QUICKLY WENT AND STARTED THE PREPARATION.

*****

DRAUPADI HAD WENT TO CHANGE FOR THE NIGHT AND ARJUN WAS JUST LAYING ON THE BED PRAYING THAT THERE WILL BE NO INTERRUPTION. AS DRAUPADI GOT OUT OF THE BATHROOM ARJUN QUICKLY PULLED HER BY WAIST. HE THEN STARTED UNDOING HER BLOUSE AND SAREE PLATES QUICKLY. DRAUPADI UNDERSTOOD HER HUSBAND'S NEED AND WENT ALONG WITH HIS FLOW WITHOUT ANY OBJECTION.

AS ARJUN WAS ALMOST DONE THERE WAS A KNOCK ON THE DOOR MAKING HIM GROAN AND MESS HIS HAIR IN FRUSTRATION. DRAUPADI JUST CHUCKLED AND QUICKLY ARRANGED HER DRESS SEEING HER HUSBAND FRUSTRATED. DRAUPADI TOO WAS A LITTLE DISSAPPOINTED.

"YES PADMAVATI." DRAUPADI SAID OPENING THE DOOR AS ARJUN WAS SULKING ON THE BED. "DWARKADEESH HAS COME." PADMAVATI SAID DRAUPADI QUICKLY RAN OUT TO MEET HER BROTHER. IT WOULD BE THE FIRST TIME SHE WILL MEET HER BROTHER AFTER MARRIAGE.

SHE THEN REACHED THE CORRIDOR TO MEET KRISHNA WITH OPEN ARMS AND SHE JUST DIVED IN. "HOW HAVE YOU BEEN MY BUTTERFLY?" KRISHNA ASKED. "TOTALLY FINE." DRAUPADI REPLIED. "MADHAV? THIS LATE NIGHT?" ARJUN ASKED. "WHY DID I DISTURB IN SOMETHING?" KRISHNA ASKED WITH A MISCHIEVIOUS SMILE. "NO BHAIYA." DRAUPADI SAID DISMISSING THE TOPIC IMMEDIATELY.

"PLEASE COME IN MADHAV." ARJUN SAID. "OKAY AS YOU SAY!" KRISHNA SAID WITH A SLY SMILE. "NOW COME HERE TO ME." KRISHNA SAID AND LITTLE ONE QUICKLY WENT TO HIM. "OUR LITTLE ONE NEEDS ANOTHER LITTLE ONE RIGHT?" KRISHNA ASKED MAKING ARJUN AND DRAUPADI BLUSH. LITTLE ONE THOUGHT FOR A WHILE AND GIGGLED.

"EVERYTHING IS READY NOW WE JUST NEED TO SEND INVITATIONS." KRISHNA SAID. "WE WILL BY TOMORROW ALL INVITATIONS WILL BE READY." KARN SAID. "BHAIYA WHY IS BHABHI NOT HERE WITH YOU?" DRAUPADI ASKED. "SHE WILL COME LATER." KRISHNA SAID. "OFCOURSE AFTER ALL BHABHI IS NOT ONLY COMING ALONE." YUDHISTIR SAID. "ANOTHER LITTLE ONE MUST BE GIVING HER TROUBLE EVEN BEFORE COMING IN THIS WORLD." BHEEM SAID. "AFTERALL I AM THE FATHER." KRISHNA SAID MAKING THEM CHUCKLE.
