Draupadi was walking back from the temple lost in her thoughts, trying to figure out about her feelings for Arjun.

"Argh!! These feelings are so complicated, I met him for the first time yesterday and am feeling as if I had known him for years. But WHY?"

"Oh really? You met him for the first time yesterday?" her subconscious mind asked.

"Umm... Not for the first time maybe? But still I conversed with him for the first time yesterday!"

"Didn't your eyes talk with his hazels in the temple?"

"It did maybe, but it does not count here."

"Why so? And what about his portrait which in your room, which you take along with you where ever you go? And... and what about the nights which you spent talking to the portrait?"

"Why the hell are you asking me if you know everythin-"

Her sentence was left incomplete as she bumped onto a wall and hit her forehead, hard.

"How can you be so clumsy Krishnaa, you did not even notice a wall on the way." She said to herself, with closed eyes and rubbing her forehead.

"Do I look like a wall to you?" A manly, husky voice asked.

"Do walls talk nowadays?" She thought confused and looked at the wall, only to be embarrassed to the core.

She tried to part away from him from him but he held her slim waist and pulled her back.

"So?" He asked.

"Sooooo?" She mimicked him, stretching the 'o'.

"I look like a wall to you?"

Her voice died due to the embarrassed and she fumbled with words.

"Umm... n..oo.... You..you.... lo..ok... h.a..nds..om-"

"Oh crap! What the hell am I saying?" She thought and badly wished that he might have not heard it. Her eyes widened and were almost bulging out of her sockets, and mouth a bit agape.

But Alas! Not all your wishes come true, he had already heard it.

She glanced at his handsome face only to see him trying hard to stop his laugh, and the look on her face finally broke the last thread as he burst out laughing.

Draupadi was still trying to cover her shock by listening to her own words, she knew that she had a teeny weeny crush....

(*Readers glare*)

No, a big crush on him but still you can't expect one to react like this. His laughter broke her thinking process as her little nose flared up red in anger.

"Don't laugh at me!" she said, a bit annoyed.

"Oh god! How can you be so cute Krishnaa?" He exclaimed still laughing but it stirred something inside Draupadi.
