ContinuedWhole Panchal kingdom was getting decorated for the coronation of their yuvraj. The palace members were in hush bush and preparing with everything. Shrikhandini had charged to look behind the workers who were decorating palace while draupadi was engaged in choosing garments and jewellery for her brother.
A certain afternoon when everyone were sitting in the dinning room for lunch. Maharaj drupad was sitting in the center while beside him was dronacharya. On other side was dhristhdyumn. And then the pandavas with the sequence nakul, shadev, yudhishthir, arjun and bheem.
The maids were serving everyone and with them draupadi too was helping them. She served the kheer to her father and then started serving others. It was yudhishthir's turn when her heart beats paced and she dared to still glances. Her eyes lowered immediately when yudhishthir caught her gazing at him. The brothers hide their smirks seeing their elder brother lost in beauty of panchal princess."Ahm ahm!" Sahdev cleared his thought while nakul mischievously hitted on his brothers arm. Yudhishthir gave a blank look immediately breaking the trance while draupadi just moved forward not missing arjun and bheem's mischievous looks.
"She will be a great bhabhishree for us. What do you thing jyesth?""Arjun!!" He glared almost chocking on his saliva. Draupadi too heard it and a sudden blush resembled in her heart. They directly paired her with their brother. And on top of it what she didn't feel angry? She had wounded duryodhan was daring to touch her drape but when yudhishthir had held her hand, she felt safe. She felt some connection and felt comfortable. His eyes over her feels warming to heart.
.....
Few days passed while pamdavas were having their time in panchal. The coronation ceremony was after two days and the guests has started arriving. In the chaos two heart were singing the songs of love. Draupadi had realized about her feelings for yudhishthir, she had started liking to stay with him and talk with him. Though till now she didn't act over it and the brothers teasing has rose a hope that maybe he also feels the same. They had now entered in talking terms as she can talk with him and laugh around but then she fears of her own feelings too. What if she just blunt it out before him and he rejected her? She won't be able to bear it.
With this thought she rested her hed on the grill of balcony gazing out of it.
"Rajkumari! Pandav kumar is asking for permission to enter." Her ears stood up as she snapped at him and asked to be specific.
"Which pandav kumar?"
"Jyesth pandav kumar yudhishthir!" The name itself gave butterflies in her stomach. She gave the permission and turned around to control her smile and nervousness.
"Why has he come here? What must be the reason?" She asked herself and in the meantime yudhishthir entered inside. Her heart beats paced hearing the footsteps. She comprehended herself and turned to him with a smile.
"What brought the kuru kumar here?" She asked mischievously. His heart just stopped beating at her melodious voice. He had gathered so much courage to face her, they had become good friends and when their friendship converted into desirable feelings no one knew. He was wanting to wait but then the fear of loosing brought him to her. He can't take risk for her."Something very unusual is happening, rajkumari. I being the emotionless person has never thought about this but your made me go through everything." His words brought a confusing look on her face. She walked near him and asked with some worry. "What are you saying rajkumar? What did I do? I apologize if I have done some mistake." She said and then he kept his palm on her mouth covering it gently.
"Just listen to me!" He requested and then began opening his heart. His palms rubbed over her cheek as they held her face in them gently. "I'm very practical about situations. I don't fear of loosing something but from the time I have seen you and felt unusual things for you, my heart has struck with fear. A fear that I may loose you if not confess my feelings. I never had time for women, I never be friends with them but you brought something that I can't resist myself from seeing you. I can't stop myself smiling when thinking about you. I just feel weak when your thoughts come and at the same time it makes me strong. I don't know why but this heart says to keep you near myself, to stay with you and look at you till eternity. This alien feeling have made my nights sleepless."
Hearing all this draupadi was on cloud nine and at the same time his confession filled tears in her eyes. Did God just completed her wish? Did she get the man she truly loves?
"You love me?"
"Yes, more than anything, anyone. After my mother you are the first woman I dearly wish to love. You complete me." He confessed his feelings embracing her to his chest. He caressed her hair and placed a comforting kiss on her head. Which made her blush harder. Draupadi snuggled her face on his chest tickling their with her nose.
Suddenly breaking the hug he asked her if she also loves him and he will not force her to accept him but she blushed at his question more. How could she not love such golden hearted man? He took away her heart with him.
"Aap mere hriday ke samrat toh pehele hi bann gaye hai rajkumar. Isse jyada main aur kya kehe sakti hu." She answered lowering her head. Yudhishthir smilingly held her chin and made her look at him. "Aur aap mere hriday ki samragini! Meri panchali!" He said and they hugged each other again........
