Chapter 66:
A Surprising Gesture
Draupadi was deep in thought, busy planning ways to increase the wealth of their kingdom. She had spent hours strategizing, her mind racing with ideas and possibilities. Yet, despite the seriousness of her task, a playful thought entered her mind.
Seeing Yudhishthira engrossed in his own work, Draupadi made her way over to him. Without a word, she gently wrapped her arms around his neck from behind, causing him to freeze in surprise. His breath hitched as he felt her warmth and the unexpected closeness.
Before Yudhishthira could react, Draupadi tiptoed and planted a soft kiss on his cheek, dangerously close to his lips. The gesture was quick, playful, and full of affection. With a mischievous smile, she pushed him gently out of the room and swiftly closed the door behind him, leaving him standing there, utterly red-faced and shocked.
Yudhishthira stood outside the door, his heart racing and his mind replaying the moment. He was usually the composed and steady one, but Draupadi’s sudden display of affection had completely thrown him off balance. A small smile crept onto his face as he realized how effortlessly she could affect him.
Inside the room, Draupadi chuckled to herself, knowing she had left Yudhishthira flustered. But there was still much to do, and with a satisfied smile, she returned to her plans, feeling a little lighter after the playful moment.
