The Unexpected Journey- Mahabharat Time travel ff

Chapter 36

Time skip (3 months)

In these 3 months, every Kauravas got married.  Only Pandavas has not married yet. 

Everyone in Aryavart got to know about the fireborns.  They heard about the beauty of Draupadi.  Draupadi's Swayam Var was announced, and every kingdom was invited. The message reached Malwa and Hastinapur. The Malwa family rejected the invitation stating that the princes are not ready for marriage. Hastinapur accepted the invitation.

Priya went to Ayodhya while Prithvi went to Malwa. Priya wanted to announce her being the Empress but stopped thinking she will do it later.  Everything was good.

In Hastinapur

Everyone was discussing about the Swayam Var of Draupad Kanya. 

Dri- As we all know, Maharaj Draupad has announced the Swayam Var of his daughter Draupadi. Who will go on behalf of Hastinapur?

Bhisma- Maharaj, I think the Pandavas should go. I am sure that he will win the hand of the princess. 

Shakuni- I think Duryodhan also should go. He smirked.

D- No mamashree, I am married, and I have taken oath of being ek Pati vratha. My brothers also have taken the oath. 

Bheem- Pitamah, we Pandavas will go for the Swayam Var. 

Bhisma- Ok. So its decided.

Shakuni- Maharaj, let Bhanje Duryodhan also go. He is also the future Yuvraj of Hastinapur.

D- Mamashree, I don't want to marry that fire born princess.

Shakuni- You just attend not need to participate.

Dri- Putra, your mamashree is right. You just go and attend not need to participate.

D- Ok father. I will take my mitras too.

Dri- Ok. 

Then Pandavas and Duryodhan took blessings from elders. Karna, Ash and Duryodhan sat on chariot as well as the Pandavas and went to Panchal.

In Kampilya,

Draupadi was nervous. It was her Swayam Var, and many kings and Princes has arrived. Her Sakha Krishna was always praising about Arjun. But she also heard the Dasi's talking about the king of Ang. What a good king he was. She felt attracted to both Arjun and Angraj. She also heard about Priya. She wanted to meet her. 

Shikandini came and saw a nervous looking Draupadi.

S- Drau, don't be nervous. 

D- Jiji, how can I not feel nervous. I am going to get married to a person I don't know. Who will win?

S- The Swayam Var is made in such a way that Prince Arjun wins. You know how father wants Arjun to be his son-in-law. 

D- Hmm. I don't know Jiji. Do you know what the task is to win my hand?

S- You will see soon.

Draupadi pouted. 

S- Btw, you look beautiful.

D- Thanks Jiji. You know Jiji, I have heard that Malwa Yuvrani Priya is really beautiful. Is she more beautiful than me? She asked feeling jealous.

S- Even I have heard she is beautiful. It is said that she is from Kaliyuga.

D- Really! 

S- Hmm.

Just then Dhrishtadyumna entered and said it was time for the Swayam Var.

In the Swayam Var ground, Duryodhan, Karna, Ashwathama and Pandavas reached. They looked around and saw many kings and princes. 

Draupad welcomed everyone.

Draupad- Welcome to my daughter Swayam Var. Dhrishtadyumna will explain the task. Dhrishtadyumna creates a fish in the sky.

D- All you will have to take the bow and should target the eye of the fish while looking only at its reflection in the water. 

Everyone felt scared. The task was really difficult.

D- Before starting the task, please welcome the bride. Panchal Princess, the most beautiful woman in Aryavart. Rajkumari DRAUPADI.

Draupadi then entered. Everyone looked at her and amazed seeing the beauty. Many were looking at her with lust. Karna was not looking at Draupadi. He kept on looking at the bow. He was fascinated seeing the bow. It was really beautiful. Duryodhan saw Karna looking at the bow instead of Draupadi.

D- Mitra Karna, the princess is really beautiful. You are looking at the bow instead of the princess.

A- Don't you know Mitra Suyodhana that Mitra Karna's first love is bow. He snickered.

K- Shut up. 

D- Look at the princess. She is really beautiful but not more than Priya Didi and my Bhadra.

Karna looked at Draupadi. He felt his heartbeat fast. 

Pandavas was looking at Arjun and saw Arjun looking at Draupadi without blinking.

N- Bratha Arjun, stop looking at the princess like that. She will turn into ashes if you look at her like that.

Arjun- Shut up Nakul.

Bheem- She is indeed beautiful.
