Agony

Part 14

Pandavas were eating and Draupadi suddenly stood .

"Where are you going?"asked Dhananjaya.

"To commit sucide."smirked Draupadi.

"Didn't your parents taught you how to treat husband?"questioned aNakul proudly.

"Don't you know how to behave with wife?"questioned Draupadi.

"You don't have any manner."complained aBheem.

"As you are full of that!!The people who left wife in a solitary jungle shouldn't talk long."taunted Draupadi.

"No one can win with you in taunting."said aSahadev smirking.

"Go wherever you want to go."said aYudisthir.

"I don't need your permission."taunted Draupadi and went.

Draupadi was near the waterfall silently.Just some days before, everything was fine.But what happened in these two-three days? Everything changed,the people who were her best friends became her enemy,they didn't think once to do it, Draupadi looked at her new attire.What a pathetic life she got!!
But despite all these miseries,one good thing that happened was to meet Maharaj Pandu,Mata Kunti,Madri and Gandhari, Mahamahim and everyone.Draupadi smiled remembering those memories

But her own family?She is missing them a lot too.Might be ,they are missing her too.They would be hurt hearing all the things that happened with her.
The whispering wind from the waterfall makes the air unsteady and very cold.Draupadi was just sitting there like statue.
But felt like,she heard some noise near the bush but there was none.

She lost in her thoughts again.

When,she heard a footstep. She thought,it was of Pandavas.But she felt that the step were afraid and hesitated to come and that was of a small children.

She looked and saw a 8-9 years girl with fear eyes looking at her.And when she understood that she saw her,she was about to run but Draupadi caught her.

"Who are you?"questioned Draupadi.

"I...i....I..."the girl was very much afraid.

"You....."Draupadi wanted to comfort her but she ran away when Draupadi lossen her tight.

"Who is this girl?In this jungle,from where she came?"asked Draupadi in her mind and went behind her.

"Listen dear,listen."uttered Draupadi and ran behind her but she wasn't stopping.

She reached near a tunnel and went inside that.Draupadi too entered there.

Draupadi was shocked watching them.The girl lost somewhere but there were many more people who were looking hungry, shelterless looking at her fearly.

They started moving in afraid but they hadn't enough strength to move even.

Draupadi had tears in eyes,she couldn't understand how to react on this!!

"Don't be afraid,plz!!"requested Draupadi.

"I haven't come to harm you."said sobbing Draupadi.

The sweetness of Draupadi's voice reached to their ears.They didn't want to trust her but they couldn't stop themselves from trusting her.

They stopped and looked at her in disbelief.

"Yeah,trust me,I won't harm you."smiled a bit Draupadi.

They too smiled a bit.After long time,they saw smile.

Draupadi tried hard to comfort them and very soon,they were engulfed by her greatness and sweetness.

Meantime, Pandavas came there searching for their wife and saw the scene and they were also shocked looking at the people.

"What is happening here?"asked aBheem confused and the people got afraid watching them.

"Don't be afraid."requested Draupadi but they became dull cause they were looking angry and strong.

"Arey,they are my lords(husband), don't be afraid.They won't do anything."said Draupadi but soon stuck her tongue between teeth.

Pandavas smiled a bit also Draupadi.

"Who are they,Drau?"asked aNakul and Draupadi's heart stopped hearing the name after days.

"Actually,they are people of this state."informed Draupadi.

Draupadi explained them how they were living her happily but destiny played a dirty game with them.

Some people started to go against their laws and attacked them.They were cursed.Slowly, slowly they were seperated,they were devastated, gradually,some hunters came and tortured them to no end.After that,they live in this tunnel silently so that no one can harm them.Their relatives are dieing in front of them slowly but they aren't able to do anything.

Pandavas felt sympathy for them.They promised them to help.

"We,the sons of Great King Pandu will serve you till our end."said aYudisthir proudly.

The people looked at Draupadi who nodded smiling.
