A Chinese proverb predicts that for every man with great skill, there is a woman with great beauty. In ancient China, there are four great beauties:

The first so beautiful that when fish see her reflection they forget to swim and sink.
The second so beautiful that birds forget how to fly and fall.
The third so beautiful that the moon refuses to shine.
The fourth so beautiful that flowers refuse to bloom.
I find it interesting how often beauty is shown to make the objects around it feel worse.

"Will she like me?" Shreya asked Achala (–The firm one).

"Why not? Ah Panchali will like you. And who knows that your bonds can heal each other in the future." Dwarkapati (–  Lord of Dwarka) said.

The first one of the sentence was a bit unbelievable for shreya but she truly understands the later one because she knows the future.

Both reach towards draupadi chamber and after that maid led shreya inside her chamber.

Shreya look at Krishna not going inside with her and ask him ,
"I'm going alone?"

Krishna chuckled a bit at her and answer ," Do you want me to accompany you? You are not going to face a monster so chill."

"Ah? I'm not afraid. It's called nervousness. Is it awkward meeting her without you. Technically she never met or see me before." Shreya look him with pleading eyes.

"You are a glib talker. I don't think you would be embarrassed." Krishna said.

"I'm a glib talker?What kind of compression is this? And why dont you simply come inside with me instead of this wasteful arguments?" She said with a little pout.

"Life can't be live with everyone my dear. At one point you have to be alone. Learn this now." Krishna said smiling and squeezing her cheeks.

Someone said right :

“Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.”

Shreya follows the maid and reach inside the beautiful chamber. The chamber was decorated with red and golden designs. There was a slight fragrance of blue lotus around the chamber.

Shreya stops behind the maid as the maid stop.
The maid move away and then shreya got a clear vision of the beauty.

The young maiden have a dark complexion. Her hair looks are golden and smooth. The winds seems to play with her silky hairs. Her eyes are lotus like and her lips are red as blood. She was wearing a red colored saree with heavy jewelries. Her eyes held a unspoken childish and refreshing feeling of joy.

Like a small and innocent child draupadi look at shreya. She finds the maiden very beautiful. Though the later was not adorned with heavy jewelries her mostly jewelries are made up of vibrant flowers. Even the fragrance of the flowers made her feel like she was standing in garden.

Draupadi saw her attire. She was wearing a light pink and white mix dress and wear a crown made up of flowers. Her hair was braided and some locks fall on her cheeks caressing her cheeks.

Both look at each other and compliment each other in their hearts for a minute.

"You are the one govinda tell about?" Draupadi ask in a little confusion.
