"I told you to settle the matter with him but you kissed him? Again?" Draupadi held her head sighing, "How is this better?"  

"Well, he kissed me first. I just went with the flow." Divyanshi explained.

"I just can't wait to dance on your wedding." Dushala said.

"Not happening." Divyanshi chuckled, "I ain't marrying anyone here. No one is good here and those who are good are either married or they don't exist." 

"But you have to marry someday." Draupadi reminded her.

"I am so young to even think about my marriage." Divyanshi sighed dramatically.

"Such a drama queen!" Dushala said, "What are you wearing on my mehendi?"

"I don't know. I thought Draupadi will decide for me." Divyanshi lied on her bed.

"I am not your mother. You have to decide for yourself." Draupadi scolded.

"Sure, mataji." Divyanshi joined her hands. They all laughed. "Listen babe, I will apply mehendi on your hand." she said to Dushala.

"And I will apply mehendi on yours." Dushala said.

"Deal?" 

"Deal!"

"What about me?" Draupadi pouted.

"We will divide the work." Divyanshi said and Dushala nodded.

The Mehendi was the only event Divyanshi didn't have to prepare for much. She wore a peacock blue lehenga and sapphire jewellery. She applied mehendi on Dushala's hand, a beautiful pair of birds in love. 

"It looks good." Dushala commented.

"Where is your man?" Divyanshi asked.

"I don't know." Dushala answered.

Divyanshi saw Jaydrath coming to their direction, he had a black eye and a few bruises on his face. She snickered at him when he sat beside Dushala. "Karma is my boyfriend. Karma's a god." she mumbled.

"Here you are!" Draupadi held out her hand and Divyanshi stood up, "My turn now."

"What should I draw?" Divyanshi asked.

"Flowers?" Draupadi suggested.

"Good idea!" Divyanshi praised and drew flowers on her hand. "Great, now don't let anyone else draw on the other hand. Dushala will be mad."

"Ok, should I do your mehendi?" Draupadi asked.

"I am sorry but I promised Dushala to let her." Divyanshi denied.

"You have two hands." Draupadi said.

"I know that but I have eat too." Divyanshi explained.

"Don't worry about that." Karn appeared, "I will help you eat."

"As you wish." Divyanshi smiled.

"These two!" Draupadi mumbled.

Draupadi drew a huge circle on Divyanshi's hand and divided it with a curved line. She decorated the first half with curved head triangles and left the second one blank with four sided stars on the outside. 

"Wow! The Sun And The Moon!" Divyanshi said in awe, "It looks beautiful. Thanks, darling. I love you so much."

"Indeed, it looks good." Karn complimented, "My turn."

"You want me to draw on your hand too?" asked Draupadi, she already knew the answer but just wanted to tease them both.

"I-I will draw on his hand, Draupadi. You don't need to worry." Divyanshi interrupted.
