A light hue spread across the horizon, as the Sun rose in the East, signifying a bright day.
It was the fifth auspicious day of Navratri, the day dedicated to Devi Skandamata.
Preparations of the day had already started since dawn.
And it was a bright day for the Pandavas as well, for they finally realized their feelings.
Freshening up individually while still lost in their thoughts, they came out of the chamber, wearing fresh clothes for the day.
Instantly the five came face-to-face with each other, noticing a different yet a similar glow on their faces, realization soon dawned upon them.
They didn't have to say anything, as a bright smile broke on each of their faces, and then shared a group hug.
They knew their bond was unique in its own kind, which meant they were not only just brothers, but also co-husbands.
But did that have any effect on their brotherly bond?
Obviously no.
The realization which should have been filled with insecurities, awkwardness and hurt, had happiness, satisfaction and contentment within itself.
Because they knew in the absence of one, four other would be there beside her.
On the other hand, she would be that one palm to hold the five fingers in place.
"Jyest, I want to show something to you all." Nakul chirped, being super excited.
"Let it be, Nakul." Bheam teased. "I am sure your something would definitely be your new garments or jewelleries."
"Bhrata Bheem..." Nakul whined. "Jyest, see Bhrata Bheem is teasing me."
"Don't tease my little Nakul, Bheem." Yudhisthir said, pinching Madri-nandan's cheek.
While they fell into a pit of laughter, Sahdev mentioned, "Oh if it's not your favourite garments or jewelleries, then I am much eager to see what caught my brother's more attention."
Nakul rolled his eyes, and dragged Yudhisthir towards his chamber, indicating others to follow.
The huge chamber with too many expensive garments and jewelleries scattered here and there, but Nakul took them to the attached balcony.
"Oh so you have dragged us just to see your balcony." Arjun taunted.
Nakul huffed, grumpily, "No... See this."
He showed the portrait that was covered with a royal blue cloth.
"Tch, Nakul tum hume yeh neela vastra dikhane ke liye le aaye?" Bheem teased, making his younger brother deadpan.
(Tch, Nakul you dragged us here just to see this blue cloth?)
He pulled away the blue cloth, revealing the enchanting portrait of Panchali, that successfully snatched their breath once again.
"Yeh dikhane k liye laya tha." Nakul informed, smiling softly at the portrait.
(Brought you all to show this.)
Those same ocean blue orbs stared back at them, with the same intensity to make them drown.
"Beautiful..." Arjun muttered in trance.
A knock on the door broke their reverie, as they turned around to find Bhanumati standing at the doorstep carrying Arushi.
"Bhrata, Aryan just informed me that Panchali has called Bhrata Nakul and Sahdev to change her bandage." Bhanumati informed, smirking in a teasing way, as they looked like they were in a cloud nine.
