Akarshika was wearing a light green saree with a lot of jewelry. Her mother, Arshi, was now here so she had to obey her.
Akarshika was looking at Dushala and Jayadrath. She really didn't want them to get married. They weren't good for each other.
This must have been suggested by her father, she guessed. Who would give such ideas except for him.
She rolled her eyes.
“I want some fresh air, ma.” Saying that, Akarshika went towards the garden.
She wanted a break. A real one. After this marriage of course, she came upon a river and admired her reflection.
She smiled looking at it until a thought came upon her. So wait, she was not the most beautiful princess in Aryaavart.
That kind of hurt her. She sighed, not knowing how to think, what to think. She just didn't want to see the reflection.
Was she jealous? Or was she just hurt?
She rolled her eyes. “Why would I be jealous? I just have to take a deep breath and accept that Draupadi is the most beautiful one,” she thought.
Who would make her understand that beauty is not everything? Well, it's totally not her fault. She always had heard she was the most beautiful one and all of a sudden everything changed.
Suddenly, someone bumped into her. “Can't you—” she was about to scream until she saw it was Draupadi.
“I am—” before Draupadi could apologize, Akarshika replied, “It won't look good if the future samragyni apologizes.”
“Well, anyone can apologize if it was their mistake,” Draupadi spoke. Akarshika smiled. How her father has always said apologizing meant something as disgrace.
She knew it was wrong, but maybe being with him had given him a bit of his thinking, which she didn't want.
“Gandhar raj's daughter?” Draupadi questioned with hesitation. That man was clearly trying to do everything bad to her husbands.
“Don't worry, I am not bitter like him,” Akarshika replied with a slight smile. Draupadi laughed.
“You indeed are the most beautiful one,” Akarshika spoke, looking at her. Draupadi thanked her with a smile.
“You seemed quite scared at the engagement,” Akarshika joked, while Draupadi smiled sadly.
“Or is it confusion?” Akarshika asked, and Draupadi again replied with a smile. Suddenly, they both heard maids gossiping, “How can a woman marry five men?”
