Chapter 38:

"The best parenting advice I can give: Do less. Seriously. Just stop — right now — and don't do a thing."

-------------------

Shreya look at the highly intelligent man of this era , Vidura , talking with pandavas.

According to Vidura , duryodhan requests Dhritarashtra to held a dice playing event in the beautiful made palace made by special creation of crystal and architecture.

Vidura tried his best to stop Yudhishthira and warn him about the plans of his superficial gaming of dice. But unfortunately, Yudhishthira decides to accept the invitation.

The pandavas with draupadi quickly made preparations to leave for hastinapura.

All the five brother with draupadi were standing that big and wide gateway of Indraprastha bidding farewell by Shreya and Subhadra.

Draupadi after hugging and talking with Subhadra for a while, look at the direction of the blue dress wearing woman.

The sun rays fall from the above on the white and glowing skin of the princess making it look heavenly.

Shreya also look at draupadi. Her stares , intensify with time didn't go unnoticed by the later.

The eyes fill with a kind of emotion she didn't know or it can be she didn't want to know.

Draupadi eyes narrowed a bit.

She wanted to ask her what happened? But something made pull her sideways.

As she glance at the hand that pull her she found the almighty bhim looking at her.

Bhim look at draupadi and urge her , "Panchali it almost time. Let's go or we'll be late."
Saying this bhim pull her towards the palanquin.

Some emotions churned in draupadi heart suddenly. Her heart beat rises frequently. Her eyes become out of focus as she move her head to look backwards.

Backwards where shreya was standing.

Her eyes tremble a bit as she found a glimpse of unseen blackness in white princess eyes.

But at last fate is the biggest. She can't question her as she sits in the beautiful red palanquin. Watching the palace of Indraprastha reaching far and far.

--------------

Shreya watch as draupadi and the other five pandavas leave for the dice game in hastinapura.

She watched as draupadi tried to talk her or maybe notice something but can't possibly understand.

She wanted to reach her hand and pull draupadi. Tell her to not go there. No go in the place filled with animals in form of humans. Don't be so trustful towards your five husband who'll gamble you when they left nothing.

She wanted to protect her by embracing her but can't.

She wants to scream. Tell her to not go.

Not go

Not

Go

Unnoticed her emotions, her hand trembled. Her face became pale as she look at leaving red palanquin.

Her feets seem to froze in one place as she watches the destiny play it role.

Her voice strucked in her throat. A limp fromed in her throat as she can't even utter a words.

What would she scream?

Dont go draupadi. You'll be humiliated by your own husband who gamble you in the assembly of dice gaming. You'll scream and cry for your safety but no one will come forward. You'll be treated like a wild animal by the people you one consider your family. No one will help you as you cry those crystal tears and red eyes in the crystal palace.

You own husband will abandoned you in name of Dharma.

But where the proof ? Her all words are just baseless and worthless without any sold proof. Just a accusation based on what she knows.

She came from the future and have seen draupadi humiliation and pain.

But whi would believe her? A girl came from future? Even she find it absurd.

Subhadra come huffing and running as her anklets were making beautiful melody of songs.
But shreya didn't notice.

Her only focus was on the way where the pandavas with draupadi leave.

Subhadra who was running stop in front of shreya.

As soon as Subhadra reach the inner palace of Indraprastha she notice she was alone. She asked the maid who was with her.

The maid answer her that shreya was still outside.

Subhadra didn't take it to heart as she thought maybe shreya was feeling lonely and emotionally as Arjuna leaves. She decided not to bother her.

But after sometime she notice the burning sun rays as she thought today's weather is so hot.
She then notice that shreya was still outside , in the burning sun.

She ran outside and found the said person still motionless.

She touched shreya a bit as the later flinched and look at her.

The unfocused gaze and pale face make Subhadra frowned.

She took shreya hand wanting to ask something but was astonished as she found shreya hands were tremble and are a bit sweaty.

"Jiji , what happened? Are you sick?" Subhadra asked anxiously as she touch shreya forehead with her hand palm.

She found that the other person forehead was also sweating as was hot as fire.

She immediately wanted to ask what happened but she cant get the chance.

Shreya who was still standing found the weight of gravity increases and pulling her down. Her eyes become hazy and dull as her eyelids become heavy.

A burning sensation fill her from head to toes. Her lips become bloodless and her body started to sweat. Her eyes burning like fire. Her breathe started to fell heavy and hot as something tighten her chest.

A invisible force suddenly cage her heart making her heart beats like a drum.

Her mind become numb. And hurt as a heavy weight was pressing her.

The uncomfortable feeling made her frowned.

And the last thing she know was how her body give up and fall and her eye started to closed.

Hearing the voice of Subhadra screaming something but she cant understand anything.

Slowly her eyes closed and she looses her consciousness.

Subhadra held shreya body as soon she started to fall. She found the other party temperature to high and become alert.

She immediately call the maids and with the help of them pull shreya in and laid her in the bed of her chamber.

She also order the maid to call the doctor when she was taking shreya in.

The doctor immediately came running as soon as he knew about shreya condition.

He immediately bow down to Subhadra as respecting her and check shreya.

Subhadra frowned from time and time and sigh in distress.

It was not even a day when the pandavas and draupadi leave and they all are already like this.

Subhadra heart become heavy as she look at the laying shreya ; who was looking as silent as death. Her shallow breathes are the only evidence that she is still alive.

Subhadra suddenly feel restless as something not good for them was going to happen.

Something really bad.

She only hope that shreya soon open her eyes and the pandavas with draupadi will be sage and return quickly.
