A woman was getting ready or better maids were getting her ready. She looked at everywhere curiously. She wanted to touch all the things and know all about everything. She has a lot of questions in her mind. She wanted to discover this place, the people, and almost everything that exists. After she got ready, she stood up and the maids were taking her somewhere but she was lost in her own thoughts. They made her wear something on her neck, hair, hands and almost everywhere. Those things were yellow but they have a divine shine in them and were of beautiful designs, those 'things' she learnt were called gold jewellery. Apparently they were very precious and we're worn by high clan people.
More precious than my comfort?
This is what she wanted to ask because apparently these jewelries and the heavy saree made her uncomfortable no matter how beautiful they are. She was told that a royal woman should carry them with grace and elegance, this is how they make a good first impression.
So does grace and elegance overpower over kindness?
This is what she wanted to ask. Later she was told many other things. Like a woman should always be meek and obedient. She shouldn't raise her voice and serve everyone humbly. She shouldn't speak unless spoken to.
Why don't women have equal rights? Who made these rules? Why can't I raise my voice against injustice? Is it the sins of previous life that u born as a women????
"Rajkumari look"
Draupadi broke out of her reverie and looked at the front. She saw a glass but then she witnessed a woman of extraordinary beauty behind it. She hasn't come to this world since a long time but had heard and seen enough to know about beauty.
Draupadi- who is she?? How she went there?
She just couldn't keep her curiosity and worries inside herself when she saw the woman inside glass. And she witnessed that even she was speaking along with her.
Dasi- she is u Rajkumari. That is a mirror. It reflects things.
Can it reflect what is on the inside?
Dasi- just look how beautiful u are Rajkumari. Whoever sees u will fall in love at once. The prince u marry will forget all his wives for u. He will be lucky to get u.
So people fall for beauty? What about personality? What about kindness or even intelligence?
She wanted to ask all of these. But she had realised that the maids were not the right people to question. Suddenly another maid entered.
Rajkumar dristdyumn seeks permission to enter Rajkumari.
Draupadi- ask him to come inside.
The maid went outside and then a man entered.
Dristyadumna- ekant!!
She noticed that all maids bowed their heads and went outside. She looked up to see the man, dristdyumn, her brother who was elder to her by half month, the son of the fire god, agnisut. He was opposite to her, while she had dark skin he was fair. He was tall and looked very powerful like the warrior he is. The only thing that they both had similar were the radiance of fire and the big eyes that is home to fire. But it provided protection to her and calmed her just like her father's smile did.
Dristdyumn- pranipaat krishnee. come sit here behna I want to spend some time with u, why are u standing there?
Draupadi- pranipaat bhrata.
She came and touched his feet but he raised her and carresed her cheeks and said.
Dristdyumn- remember that ur place is always in my heart. It might sound a bit dramatic but yeah I was fascinated by the fact that soon I will get a little sister and I wanted to pamper u so much. I want to become ur friend as well, if u allow me? I mean I am sorry u were just born and here I came and demanded things, sry I just couldn't keep my excitement when I came to know that u were born.
Krishnaa looked at her brother who was clearly nervous and babbling quite sweetly. A full fledged smile bloomed on her face. Till now she had only seen the richness of things that had failed to catch the eyes of trilok sundari but the richness of emotions caught her heart. Drist too smiled at his sister.
Krishnaa- bhrata I heard u too were born from fire. How u felt after u were born?
Dristdyumn- yes dear I too was born from fire and about how I felt, I was nervous and confused but this family gave so much love and pampering to me that I never felt hard to adjust and today I see the same curiosity in ur eyes, if u have questions u may ask only if u feel comfortable, I will try to answer them and if not then we could ask tejveer bhrata or pitashree.
Draupadi found it sweet that her new brother didn't force her but ask her approval in small things. His love and brotherly affection felt something new, something nice, the feeling she wanted to feel since she placed her feet inside the palace, the feeling of being at home. Atleast now she had answer to one of her question.
The place with luxury is a house but the one with love is a home.
