Draupadi came back to her chamber all tired. Today along with her regular work , she also has to do the preparation of mata Kunti's birthday which is the very next day. Mata kunti, draupadi can't express how much she loved her mata just like she loved her own mother prishathi. And mata kunti too loved her more than her own sons. They are the ideal mother and daughter in law.
Suddenly she heard the most precious voices.
Mmmmmaaaatttttaaaa!!!!!!
She saw her five gems in front of her. They all came running to her with the two youngest hands in her eldest son's.
Prativindhya- her eldest the son of dharmaraj.
Shatanika- the son of the eldest madreya.
Sutsom- the son of vrikodaar.
Srutasen- the son of the youngest madreya.
Shruthakarma- the son of indraputra.
A bright smile adorned her face as all her sons came near her. Suddenly srutasen left prati's hand and came to her with careful and staggering steps. She held his shoulders softly as he held her hands and climbed on her lap and hugged her tightly.
Srutasen- mai.....meli mai.
Everyone smiled blissfully as they witnessed the scene. Draupadi laughed a bit. Sen was just like his father. So protective and possessive of her just like her arya sahdev but the next moment made them laugh a bit as the other one shouted from prati's hand.
Shurtakarman *almost crying- ma!! Ma!!
He forwarded his other to his mother who looked at her youngest lovingly. She brought her other hand and pulled her karman closed to her heart and kissed his forehead with all the love she had in her heart. The most beautiful and precious laugh echoed from the baby's mouth as he kissed his mother's cheek and giggled as sen too copied him.
Draupadi- my baby....don't cry...I have place for all of my children in my lap.
Shatanika- maiya come with us na.
Shatanika and sutsom pulled their and the whole aryabharat's mother to her bed and made her lie down. Then they started pressing her feet as the younger two brothers looked at their brother and started pressing her arms as they tried to copy their brothers. Prativindhya took his mother's head and placed it on his lap and started pressing her forehead. Krishnaa closed her eyes in bliss. No this was not the bliss of getting served, this was the bliss of a mother's heart to witness the love of her children. She is so delighted to obtain all of them as her sons. A tear slipped down her cheek as she saw all her children who were too much concentrated and determined to serve her. Suddenly a hand wiped her tear. Her beloved prati looked at her worried.
Prativindhya- mata, are u ok? Why are u crying mata?
Shatanika- did we do anything wrong? Are u feeling pain anywhere ma? Or are u injured?
Sutsom-mata did anyone say anything to u. Tell us and we will teach them a good lesson for making our mata cry.
Srutasen- no mai...... No cry.
Shrutkarman crawled to her mother and wiped the tear the was going to grace the mattress of bed and hugged her neck. She woke up from her eldest lap that held so much worries and love for her. She smiled at them.
Draupadi- it's your love that makes me shed tears of happiness. How much u love and care for me. It delights my heart to such extent that only my heart knows.
Prativindhya- obviously we love u ma. U are our precious mother who carried us for nine month. U gave us all the love in the world, taught us the power of dharma and what not. But we gave u pain and only pain since we were born and even through ur pregnancy. I don't even know what I did to get to be ur son in this life.
Draupadi kept a palm on her eldest mouth.
Draupadi- and who fed u this nonsense that u all gave me pain? Never ever say that. No one could delight the heart of a mother like her children. U don't know how much I cried the day u all were born. I couldn't believe that such pure souls were given birth by me.
Prativindhya- sorry mata.
Draupadi kissed his forehead lovingly and carresed his head.
Srutsen- mai......mai godi (lap)...
Sutsom- maiya can we sleep together today please.
Draupadi- this is not a question to be asked. Now all of u come and place ur head on my lap. Let me caress u all to sleep.
Sutsom, srutasen, shrutkarman and shatanika all went to their dear mother. While Sen and Karman occupied the lap, som and nika placed their head on her shoulders. Prativindhya near her feets and massaged it as he had seen they had swollen very much. He was so worried for his mother when he noticed her feet. Even after nika and som pressing her feet he didn't mind serving her again afterall who knows if it will pain again with the amount of work his mother does.
Draupadi- prati putr no need of these....come now....I am feeling better after my dear nika and som pressed my feet.
Prativindhya- don't worry mata I will come after these 4 fall asleep. And I am comfortable here. Afterall mother's lap and her feet are heaven.
Srutasen- mai Lorri!!
Draupadi- Lorri? Aww my baby wants to listen a Lorri from his mata?
Srutsen*giggling- yech sen listen mata Lorri.
Sutsom- yes maiya, even I want.
Shatanika- who wouldn't want to som? Mata has the most beautiful voice.
Prativindhya- yes mai, it's been time u sing to me as well. Can u sing my favourite this time.
Srutsen*giggling and excitedly- sen listen jyesh favoliti Lorri,*puppy eyes* mai plzz.
Draupadi- how can I deny you all. Okay maiya will sing.
She noticed all her sons sleeping. And her own eyes were giving up. She placed the quilt over them and tucked them all properly and carresed each of them not knowing when her eyes graced the darkness after working the whole day.
