Arjun sighed as he heard the soft jingling of anklets. He closed his eyes in pleasure of hearing that sound which was like a melody for him.

The sun had already said bye-bye and handed over his shift to moon. The chamber was soaked in darkness and the moonlight was the only luminous one around.

Draupadi entered the room only to find everything dark around. But being a warrior she figured out the border of the well-built archer in the balcony.

His back was facing her.

"Savyasachi" She called out in a low voice.

His Krishnaa's voice the most divine and melodious thing he had ever heard. But he wasn't willing to respond her, he too wanted to show her how hurt he felt when she spoke to him in such way.

Draupadi sensed his ignorance, walking towards him, she gently placed her hand on his broad shoulders. "Parth, won't you talk with me?" She asked in a heavy tone, her eyes were glossy now.

"There is nothing we need to talk about Kris- Princess." He replied without turning towards her.

Uncountable tears ran down Draupadi's cheeks. "It is Krishnaa for you, Savyasachi."

Arjun gulped down the lump formed in his throat. "No Rajkumari." Tears formed in his eyes. "Madhav told me, this name is something special for you, and no one except your own family members and The Dwarka family members dare call you that. "

"No Parth." Parth's Panchali sobbed, " I am sorry and ashamed for all my words."

"Sorry Rajkumari, that I probably touched you in an inappropriate way, and even forced you against your w-"

Arjun's sentence was left incomplete as Draupadi suddenly ran into his arms and hugged him tightly.

Saying that Arjun was shocked would had been an underestimate. This was the first time she had made a move towards him.

Arjun just stood there like a statue, Draupadi broke the hug and back away.

"I am sorry Savyasachi. This is the first time I having such feelings for a man, I had never accepted a proposal, then it may be from the greatest to greatest of all the kings in Aryavrat. But... But my father has already finalized my wedding with someone I know nothing about. I did not want to give you false hopes. I cannot live without you Parth, but neither can I leave my father. I am sorry Parth, I am sorry." She cried hard.

Arjun once again pulled her back to her chest and whispered, "Neither can I live without you Krishnaa, Arjun without his Draupadi is nothing but a void."

Drauapdi looked at him with tears in her eyes, which were wiped away by Arjun.

"No one will ever come between us Krishnaa, not even that fiancé of yours. I promise you." Arjun gently kissed her forhead.
