BUTTERFLY FROM THE FLAME (JOY AND GENTLENESS OF THE FLAME)

Chapter 18

"Mama!" a female voice rang in the court making everybody look to the entrance. They saw the same exact girl they saw years ago, running while chanting mama, bringing sereneness along with her Yagnaseni Draupadi! 

"Parvati!" kansa exclaimed standing up from his throne. "mama!" Draupadi said and quickly hugged Kansa whose happiness knew no bounds. The two then sat on the throne like thy used to years back. "Welcome yuvrani! welcome!" the courtiers exclaimed with full joy and happiness with tears of joy in their eyes and it a wide smile on their face.

After years the Bhoja got it soul back, the courtiers got their heart back and the court room got it light back. "Who knew the infamous Mathura Naresh would be like this?" Karn asked seeing the delighted court room from a corner along with the rest of the pandavas. They were heading towards their chambers but forgot the way and ended up there.

After the court finished Kansa and Draupadi were heading to the other side of the bhoja while talking nonsense and bickering. "Forgive me that I named you parvati. "Kansa said joining his hands. "Why?" Draupadi asked. "I just named you parvati and now you slowly turning into devi parvati." Kansa said. "Ka mama, agar me devi parvati hoti toh mujhe mere mahadev na milgehote?" Draupadi said dreamily.

She realized what she said and felt the cheeky grin of her mama and let out a nervous chuckle. "Thike dundnae jarahahu jumhare mahadev ko." Kansa teased and went away. "Why should I or you find him? If we are destined to meet then he will find me not me." Draupadi said and started moving towards the other side of the bhoja.

Kunti and the pandavas who were hiding behind the pillar heard their conversation and Kunti let out a cheeky grin. "Your mahadev is finding you. Don't worry putri." Kunti said. "Who mata?" the pandavas asked. "Why should I say?" Kunti said and followed Draupadi. Draupadi then reached the other side of the Bhoja and spotted a male figure along with a figure figure standing near the window.

Draupadi without making any sound, slowly and cautiously tip toed towards the two figure and threw herself over them. "SURPRISE!" Draupadi said making the two turn around. It was none other than Devaki and vasudev. "Ladoo? Is that you?" Vasudev asked. "No I am her ghost." Draupadi said and Devaki tightly embraced her. "Ofcourse she is my daughter!" Devaki said while crying. Draupadi too hugged her back after years the parent child met again.

Today a mother got her daughter back. "Always excluding me." vasudev said and hugged the two making them chuckle. After they broke the hug the couple showered their youngest born with full affection and kisses. "Are you going to fulfill everything now only?" Draupadi asked. "How much we missed you." Vasudev said.

The kuru family watching the scene from a corner. "Let them be. After years they have met lets visit later." Kunti said and they all left. "Where are your brothers?" Devaki asked. "Probably lost or demonstrating their idiocy." Draupadi said making them chuckle.

"I have many complains about them! They all trouble us gopis especially bhaiya! He always break our pots, steal our butter, steal our clothes while we are bathing in the cold yamuna and I even got his secret to share with you." Draupadi said making them chuckle and they all sat down and Draupadi started her stories making them laugh frequently.

"In love of the daughter bhaiya and bhabhi seems to forget me! ME! The only sister and sister in law of their entire dynasty!" Kunti said in a grand mocking manner making the couple chuckle. "Pranam Vasudev." Pandu said. "You must be her husband." devaki said making Pandu nod.

"And these are my sons." Kunti said showing them the pandavas. "Pranam kaka, kaki." the pandavas said seeking their blessings. "Ayushman bhava." the couple blessed. "Brilliant!" Devaki said looking at the pandavas. "I want a groom for my Draupadi with the exact same qualities like them." Devaki said to Vasudev making the pandavas blush. "I do too want a daughter in law like Draupadi." Kunti added making them blush more. Draupadi wasn't there so she was saved from the embarrassment.
