As Nakula finally drifted into a deep sleep, Draupadi turned her attention to the other Pandavas, who were nursing the aftermath of Nakula's drunken antics. She gently touched each of their cheeks where she had threatened to slap them earlier, silently reassuring them of her affection and understanding.
With a tender smile, Draupadi guided them to the sofa, urging them to sit down. She blew a soft breath on their cheeks, a playful gesture to lighten the mood, and kissed each of them on their cheeks, her love evident in every gesture.
Meanwhile, the Pandavas exchanged quiet whispers among themselves, their voices filled with a mix of relief and amusement at Draupadi's nurturing actions. They marveled at her ability to bring comfort and ease, even in the midst of a chaotic moment.
Yudhishthira, the eldest, spoke softly, "She always knows how to calm us."
Bhima chuckled lowly, "I never thought I'd be kissed better after being threatened with a slap."
Arjuna, ever observant, added with a hint of admiration, "Her care for us is unmatched.
Sahadeva, nodded in agreement, grateful for Draupadi's soothing presence.
As Draupadi returned with coconut oil and turmeric oil, the Pandavas watched her with affectionate eyes, knowing that her nurturing spirit bound them together as a family. They knew that whatever challenges they faced, Draupadi would always be there to heal their wounds and strengthen their bond with her unconditional love and support.
As Draupadi gently applied the turmeric oil and coconut oil to their cheeks, she continued to blow soft breaths, her touch comforting and tender. The Pandavas exchanged grateful glances among themselves, smiling warmly at each other as they felt the soothing effects of her care.
Yudhishthira, touched by Draupadi's concern, reassured her with a gentle smile, "It's not too bad, Draupadi. Your touch has already eased it."
Bhima nodded in agreement, his voice gruff but filled with affection, "Your kisses and oils work wonders, Draupadi. Thank you."
Arjuna, usually composed, couldn't help but express his admiration openly, "You have a gift for healing, Draupadi. We're lucky to have you."
Sahadeva, ever observant and sensitive to emotions, smiled gratefully, "Thank you, Draupadi. Your care means everything to us."
Draupadi looked at each of them with a mixture of relief and lingering concern. Tears welled up in her eyes, a testament to her deep love and empathy for her husbands. "I'm so sorry," she whispered, her voice trembling slightly. "I never want to hurt you."
Yudhishthira reached out and gently wiped away her tears, his touch comforting. "It's alright, Draupadi. We understand."
Bhima gathered her into a tender embrace, holding her close. "We know you didn't mean it. You're our strength, Draupadi."
Arjuna and Sahadeva joined in the embrace, surrounding Draupadi with their love and reassurance. Together, they stood in a moment of shared vulnerability and affection, their bond stronger than ever.
Draupadi, comforted by their presence, felt a wave of gratitude wash over her. In their embrace, she found solace and renewed strength. She knew that no matter what challenges they faced, their love and unity would always prevail.
As they stood together, Draupadi whispered softly, "Thank you for forgiving me. I love you all so much."
The Pandavas smiled tenderly, their hearts full with love for their beloved wife. In that moment, surrounded by their unwavering devotion, they knew that their bond would endure any trial that life presented them with.
