Petrichor - Time Travel To Mahabharat Era

48

Ditching the soldiers, both the ladies went out of the palace. "Krishnaa! Where are you taking me? Wai- Wait! Go slow man!", Draupadi was running holding her. She was really excited about showing something to her Sakhi. As they reached the top of a green hill, Draupadi stopped and looked around at the view. "Ishwari! Look at this view! It's so exquisite!", Draupadi was explaining with an awe expression.

Vaishnavi was just smiling looking at the girl, who was seeing all these things for the first time.

'My motto will be 'Live your life like how Draupadi does' lol'

Draupadi turned towards her and said, "Ishwari! These kids are saying that it will rain when the clouds are like this! And we usually enjoy it when it rains!", and pointed up at a far distance, where the dark clouds were summoning up. Her expression immediately turned into a confused one and said, "But, that much amount of water falling on us? How can we enjoy then? That doesn't make sense!". Vaishnavi called a little girl among the children and told her to get her musicians with all the instruments from the palace.

As the little girl went to get them, Vaishnavi looked at her with her hands on her hips and said, "Hmm, Krishnaa! You know? You have to enjoy it when the rain comes!". Draupadi looked at her with a weird experession and said, "How? Won't you get distracted by all the water falling on you?".

Vaishnavi chuckled and looked at the beautiful view in front of her. In the horizon hours of Panchal, she stood there, her hair tied in a loose braid, with some strands falling on her face. The whole atmosphere was windy and the clouds started to come where she stood. She spoke softly, "Krishnaa! Don't get carried away by the distractions! If you give importance to that, you will miss out on a lot of things! No matter how hard the distraction is, try to live in the moment and enjoy whatever joy it has to give! Then, you won't care about any distractions anymore! This is such a simple logic, right! Yet, people tend to miss out on this!". Draupadi looked at her with an intent expression, who was looking like an angel with closed eyes, enjoying the wind. At the moment, she didn't care about the world, she was living there, in the present, at the moment! Draupadi wanted to achieve that! The thinking of hers!

Draupadi now really wanted to enjoy the rain as she said. She went to her and said, "Ishwari! I want to see what rain feels like! But, I don't know when it will rain! Well, you remember? You gave me unlimited wishes! I wish for rain to pour! Now!".

Vaishnavi looked at her and smiled, "Well, If my Sakhi is asking, how can I not make it rain? Wait for me!", she said and moved towards the edge of the mountain, leaving her behind. Draupadi got scared as she was going to the edge. "Hail the Princesses! Which music do you want us to play?", the musicians came and asked her. "The one I taught yesterday!", she replied turning back for a moment.

She faced towards the view against and closed her eyes, "Mr. Indra! Sorry sorry! Mr. Father-in-law! Please Make it rain!", she wished slowly and giggled. As soon as she wished, a rain drop fell on her cheek, making her to open her eyes. She felt extremely happy that Lord Indra accepted her calling him her Father in law. Soon enough, it started raining like anything. Draupadi was overjoyed and looked at her Sakhi, a wonder, who can do anything at this point. Vaishnavi signalled to the Musicians to Start the music. She soon started singing as well.

na re, na re
na re, na re
nanana na re, na re
na re, na re
naanna re, naanna re, naanna re, naana re
naanna re, naanna re, naanna re, naana re

She soon started dancing, with the children tagging along. Draupadi started smiling uncontrollably and was watching her with a admiring expression. Arjun, who has come for alms to the streets of Panchal, with Yudisthir being guard for their mom, stopped in an instant and sprinted towards the direction from where the voice was coming, while the other brothers giggled at him and started walking towards the direction.
