D: Aap mujhse vivaah karenge Rajkumar?

( Will you marry me, Prince?)

Draupadi stared directly into Yudhishtir's molten copper orbs, knowing she would get a chance to ask this question, eye to eye again.

Yudhishtir didn't know how or what to answer. It wasn't like he didn't like the princess. She was a beautiful, kind, smart woman. However, he still believed himself to be in between her & Arjun. Moreover, on a personal level he didn't know anything about her apart from what the entire world kept talking.

He'd always wanted in his heart to know his life partner as a person before they entered a relationship. It was different from what people believed, but it was his belief. It just felt too sudden. He was sure Draupadi would agree about the suddenness though.

Marriage was a big responsibility. However, when had he ever had time in his life to prepare for any responsibility? He sighed.

D: Rajkumar, chalein?
( Prince, should we go?)
Yudhishtir scrunched his eyes, realising he'd zoned out. Draupadi didn't press for an answer, she could literally hearing Yudhishtir's thudding heart in the silent forest. The anxiousness in eyes spoke volumes. She decided to give him some time to process things. Just as she'd had a while back.

The two mounted the horse, Yudhishtir took the reins while Draupadi held their weapons. His arms slightly brushed both sides of Draupadi's waist, sending sparks shooting through her. Draupadi couldn't understand her sudden reaction to Prince's accidental touch.

Apparently, Yudhishtir had too felt the same, hence he moved his arms a little away, but they kept sometime as the horse galloped away.

D: Rajkumar.....
( Prince....)
Draupadi spoke suddenly after few moments of silence.

Y: Ji Rajkumari?
( Yes Princess?)
Draupadi somehow wanted to pout at how sophisticated & formally he behaved always. Somewhere deep down, she wanted her would be husband to be free with her.

D: Ji Rajkumari? Keval itna hi kahenge Jeysht Pandav kumar? Aapko gyaat bhi hai hum sabhi ki kya avastha hui thi? Aap issprakaar chale kaise gayi?

( Yes Princess? Is that all you will say? Do you know what was our condition had been? How did you leave like that?)

Draupadi demanded, the anger and fear in her heart surfacing without her realising what she was saying and to whom.

Yudhishtir had never found someone adorable while that person was angry and scolding him. He wanted to smile but that would make the fiery princess angrier.

Dr: Mujhe gyaat hai aap kya soch rahe hai...kintu ab aapka aur mera vivaah na bhi ho tab bhi aap mere parivaar ke sadasya hai, atah aapko dantne ka poora adhikaar hai mujhe.

( I know what you are thinking, but even if you & me don't get married, you will still be a part of my family & so I have full rights to scold you.)

Draupadi completed and immediately bit tongue realising what she just said.

However, what she didn't expect was the beautiful smile that spread across Yudhishtir's rugged yet handsome face.
