In Yudhishthir's chamber

Yudhishthir enter's in his chamber and found her beautiful wife sitting on a couch humming a song and smiling on her own . He went near her and sat next to his kalyani .

"Priye" he soflty said in her ear "yes swami" she answerd half lost in her thoughts . "What's the reason behind your smile kalyani?" He asked. "Swami , dwarka is the plcae where there is no need for reason to be happy." She said resting her head on his shoulder .

"Yes kalyani , here divinity dwells in each and every part which can fascinated anyone's heart , its natural to be fell happy here without any reason" he said with a grin .

"And the appearance of all members make every moment so joyous and cheerful " she said looking up to her Lord's face in a cherish tone and her eyes were shining with admiration .
Yudhishthir was staring at her and admiring her angelic beauty which made her cheeks turn red because of shyness .

"Kalyani I love the way your eyes spark when you smile " said yudhishthir and pecked on her forehead. "There is one more reason behind my happiness swami , it's you , and our upcoming child" draupadi said hiding her face in yudhishthir's chest and he caresses her hair lovingly. 

"Should I tell her about devika ? Is it the appropriate time to say this?And I don't know how will she react to this ? But I have to tell her ummmm....I should tell her , yes" he said to himself in his thoughts .

" Priye , I want to tell you something " he said taking her hands in his ones. "Yes aryaputr say what you want to tell" she said looking at him . " Kalyani I want to say you that ...... He was about to say but was interrupted by voice came from door , a soldier came out with message . Yudhishthir went outside to look after this .

A soldier bow down and Salute him, he was carrying a scroll in his hand . "Maharaj , This letter has been sent by prince arjun , for maharani draupadi." Said solider .

He handed the scroll to yudhishthir and again greet him and left from there . Yudhishthir smiled as after a long time arjun has sent a letter for draupadi .

He went inside and saw draupadi coming towards him "Swami, what happened ? What's the matter is ?" she asked in tensed voice. " Relax priye , a letter has came from arjun for you " he said smiling and handed the letter to draupadi.

"Letter from aryaputr arjun , For me! " she exclaimed in excitement . She was feeling elated as her husband has wrote a letter for her after a long time.
A sweet smile played on her cherry lips.

"I think this will not be the right time to tell her about devika." Yudhishthir nummerd .

In Morning

Tomorrow is the wedding day of krishna and mitravinda , all the preparations are going on in full swing , all are making preprations with great enthusiasm.

"Vijaya , valandhara can you come with me , I need your help to arrange the flower garalnds " lakshmana said to her sister and to princess of kashi. "Yes didi we will help you come " both of them said in union.

"Subhadra " A voice came from behind

"Mata rohini , mata devki and mata kunti along with mitravinda is waiting for you at palace gate they are going Temple to perform some ritulas and they want to take you with them " satyabhama said placing hand on subhadra's shoulder .

"Yes bhabhi , I'm going." She replied in a low tone and left from there. Despite being surrounded by so many people , she was missing someone whose absence was making her heart grief - stricken.

"Devika could you please bring some flowers from garden ?" Rukmini asked.
"Yes jiji , I will " she said and start going from there taking a basket.
"Wait rajkumari devika" draupadi called her from behind. She turns to saw her. Did dharmaraj told her about us ? She questioned to herself .

"Can I with come with you ?" Draupadi asked . Devika firstly got hesitate but then she said  " yes of course you can come..."  she paused as couldn't find word to address her. Draupadi understand , she went near her and said " You are my sakhi's sister , so my sakhi's sister is my sister too ,  you can call me didi " devika was amused by her words , she looked into those louts eyes which were shining with sisterly affection . "Let's go didi " devika said grining. 

In garden..........

Devika started plucking flowers , draupadi too helped her , after plucking flowers both of them started walking .

"So Rajakumari Devika,  princess of Shivi, sister of Sakhi Mitravinda and disciple of Sakha, I have heard a lot about you from Sakhi but I did not get the opportunity to talk to you, it is good that I came here with you " said draupadi . "Yes didi, and now we got a chance to talk." Said devika. 

"I heard from Sakhi Rukmini that your swayambvar is near." Panchali asked. 
"

Yes didi next month it is" devika said , smiling. 

"Whom you are going to choose?" draupadi asked with curiosity .

Having an obvious thought of putting garland around dharmaraj's neck made devika smile softly and to some extent she was blushing too.

Seeing devika's state draupadi chuckled
"Devika , whose thought made you smile so fondly ?" draupadi asked devika teasingly .

"Nothing like that didi , I was just thinking ..."She paused realizing that yudhishthir has not tell draupadi  anything and it will not be appropriate to tell her now .

"Didi I already choose someone , but I can not tell right now." Devika said lowering her eyes. " It's okay devika" draupadi said placing hand on devika's shoulder she continues " anyways will you invite me in your wedding ?" Draupadi asked . Devika didn't understand what to answer but she nodded in yes . 

" By the way didi , did you heard about evening's  programme " Devika asked. 
"No devi , I don't know anything about that !" Draupadi exclaimed with a questioning look. " Okay let me tell you, there is a pre- wedding  ritual , In which only ladies are allowed , and it's going to be a lot of fun." Said devika expressing excitement. " Great !! It would be so amazing." Draupadi said in Cherish tone.

They both were chatting and roaming in the garden both were liking each other's company .

"Devika! , sakhi!" Rukmini called them
"Do come fast with flowers I want them for decoration."

"Coming" both of them said in union, suppressing out a light chuckle .

I don't want to rush with the story line so the story will go a little slow i.e. devika's swayamvar part will take time . 😁
