Draupadi pressed her face against Yudhishtir's shoulder. He felt wetness on his skin & once again stroked her hair, trying to soothe her.
Y: Yadi aap mujhse apni peeda baatengi toh kadachit hriday halka hojaayega.
( If you share your pain with me, maybe your heart will feel lighter.)
He asked her softly in a worried voice.
D: Vo...vo bas....Panchal ka smaran ho aaya, mera parivaar, Pitashree, maata, jiji aur Dyumn. Main unke bina kabhi nahi rahi. Mere janm se lekar abtak ve sadaiv mere saath rahe hai. Uss samay, unke samaksh ro nahi sakti thi na, unhe kitni peeda hoti. Par..ab...
( That...that...its just that I remembered about Panchal Aarya, my family, father, mother, my elder sister & brother Dyumn. I have never stayed without them. From my birth till now they've always been there with me. I couldn't cry that time in front of them, they would have been so hurt....but now...)
She sobbed loudly, only tightening only on her husband. Her closeness was affecting Dharmaraj on the other hand like never before. Emotions & sensations ran across him, sending shocks to his spine every time Draupadi snuggled closer.
Y: Shaant hojaiyye....shaant....
( Calm down.....calm....)
Yudhishtir soothed her gently. Draupadi scrunched her eyes as she snuggled closer against the firm, strong chest of her warrior prince of a husband, inhaling his fresh sandalwood fragrance which made her feel safe & secure.
Suddenly coming to her senses, Draupadi hastily wiped her tears, moving out of Yudhishtir's embrace.
D: K..kshyama kijiye Aarya...vo....main bas....
( F... forgive me Aarya.... actually... I...just..)
She stuttered uneasily feeling embarrassed about simply jumping on him. However Yudhishtir's soft smile told her that he wasn't offended in the least.
Y: Kshyama ki koi baat nahi hai Panchali. Aapko yadi kabhi bhi koi bhi samasya ho, aap nisankoch mujhse keh sakti hai. Main aapki poorn roop sahayta avashya karunga.
( There is nothing to forgive Panchali. If you have any issues, any time, don't hesitate to let me know. I will help you as best as I can.)
Yudhishtir promised with the all the honesty in the world. This overwhelmed Draupadi.
D: Aarya?
Y: Hmm?
D: Iss samay kadachit hum dono poorn roop ek doosre ke pati-patni banne ke liye tayyar nahi hai, Aarya....toh kya aap... sarvapratham mujhse....maitri karenge?
Pati-patni banne se poorv kya humdono ek doosre ke sabse achche mitra ban sakte hai?
( At this time maybe we both are not ready to be husband-wife completely. Aarya....will you then....first...accept my friendship?
Before becoming husband-wife, can we become each others best friends?)
Draupadi asked him hopefully. Hearing this Draupadi saw her husband's face light up like a thousand diyas in Diwali. His perfectly sculpted looks already sent her heart in flutters, but his smile right then was breathtaking.
Y: Vastav mein? Aap mujhse maitri karna sweekar karengi? Uh...
( Really? You'll accept being my friend?)
Yudhishtir didn't know how to react. Growing up, he'd never had many friends owing to his introvert nature. He'd spent all his free time learning even more arts & sciences from his Guru.
He loved the idea of having Draupadi as a friend.
