Chapter 70: Journey to dwarka
As the royal entourage made its way to Dwarka, the Pandavas rode with Draupadi, Prativindhya, and Suthanu, now one year old, in tow. The sky was clear, and the breeze was gentle, making it a pleasant journey. Draupadi sat atop her horse with grace, her long hair flowing behind her, while the Pandavas kept a close eye on the children, who were eagerly exploring everything around them.
Draupadi glanced at the Pandavas, her eyes sparkling with a mixture of seriousness and amusement. "Listen, my dear Pandavas," she began, "when we reach Dwarka, you need to handle the children. I'll be busy with meetings and work. And," she added with a playful smirk, "nothing should happen to my lipstick because of the children, and my bangles are more important than you five!"
Arjuna grinned. "Ah, the queen has spoken. Lipstick and bangles come first, and we're just here to serve," he teased.
Bhima let out a hearty laugh. "Don't worry, Draupadi. We'll make sure your precious lipstick and bangles are safe. But you do realize, we're not just your caretakers. We're warriors too!"
Nakula added with a smirk, "And don't forget, we're the fathers. So if things get too wild, we'll handle it."
Draupadi teased them right back, her tone playful yet commanding. "Yes, you're fathers, but I'm more than just a mother. I'm also a wife, a queen of Panchala and Indraprastha, the queen of the entire Suryavansham, and a warrior in my own right. So be ready to follow my lead."
Sahadeva raised an eyebrow, his eyes twinkling. "Oh, we'll follow your lead, but be careful, Draupadi. If you don't settle down quietly, we might have to make you pregnant again."
Draupadi blushed deeply at the teasing and blabbered, "I know you five will do just that... God save me from these five husbands!"
The Pandavas couldn't help but laugh at her words, their voices filled with affection. "Then be ready when we return to Kampalyam," Yudhishthira teased. "We'll make sure you get what you asked for before 1 year 7 months ago -five or eleven children, wasn't it?"
Draupadi's blush deepened, and she turned her face away, a shy smile playing on her lips. The Pandavas continued to tease her throughout the journey, their bond as strong as ever. And though Draupadi's heart raced at their words, she knew she wouldn't have it any other way.
