Bharati~ The Queen Mother In Making

Chapter 12

Subhadra started walking from there. She still had a pale smile on her face and she was not showing any emotions but from inside, she was completely shattered. It was like she was a alive corpse.

Arjun was calling her several times from behind but Subhadra was not hearing. Though Draupadi told her so many things for her well being only but now she herself was also regretting as she was understanding Subhadra's present situation. It seems Subhadra made her heart harder than stone which was not going to break.

Draupadi: Govind! You consoled me but why not your sister? Why did you showed her the glimpse of the cruel truth now when she is already shattered? Oh Govind! Please forgive me. You also know I had never had any bad intention and I didn't want to lose my sister. If she will stay like this, I am doubting anything bad can happen. Oh Achyutam! I can't afford to lose this sister of mine. *in mind*

Arjun: What are you thinking Krishnaa?

Draupadi: Stop Chitra at first. She is not in her senses.

Arjun ran to her and pulled her by hands. Subhadra fainted in his arms.

Arjun: Bhadrey! Bhadrey!

Arjun carried her to the bed and told Draupadi to bring water and told maids to call a vaidya. Draupadi sprinkled water on her face but Subhadra didn't react.

After sometimes, a Rajvaidya came and told Arjun and Draupadi to go outside.

Draupadi: Arya! Are you angry over me?

Arjun: No Panchali! How can I be angry over you?

Draupadi: Because I insulted your dear wife like that.

Arjun: I know Panchali sometimes behind our cruelty, our love and care is hidden. You who never cursed them or behave rudely with them who made ur worse them hell, how can you behave like this with Madhav's sister?

Draupadi: Arya! Can you say why we women are always blamed for everything? Can you say why our success and sacrifice always remain hidden? Why our pain is measured by our tears? If someone doesn't show her tears in front of everyone or always stay quiet, does it mean she is happy? Arya! When I was pulled in dyut sabha, there was no fault of my sisters and they also felt unbearable pain like I felt. I got my husbands' support at least but they? They raised their children alone fighting with this society who never leaves a chance to insult a woman. Then why people always forgets their pain and sacrifice? I know behind this fake smile of them, they hidden the tears of lifetime. Maybe they stayed in the soft bed but it was not less than thrones for them.

Arjun: Panchali! I don't have the answers of your and Subhadra's questions. You understand, I understand but this society will never understand this because they are your co wives and their sons are not your biological sons. They just decide by the outlooks. They can see the relationships by blood by not the connection of souls.

At that time, other pandavas and their wives came.

Yudhisthir: What happened to Subhadra, Arjun?*concerns*

At that time, the royal doctor came outside and......
