**Chapter 127: A New Craving for Watermelon**
The day dawned with a calm tranquility in the palace. Draupadi, who had spent the last few days with a myriad of cravings, woke up with a surprising absence of desire for her usual treats. The Pandavas, ever vigilant and attentive to her needs, noticed this sudden change in her appetite.
As Draupadi sipped her morning tea, Yudhishthira, with his usual gentle demeanor, approached her. "Panchali, you don’t seem to be craving anything today. Are you feeling alright?"
Draupadi gave him a reassuring smile. "I’m perfectly fine, Yudhishthira. It’s just a rare moment when I don’t feel the urge for something particular."
Bhima, always eager for any excuse to indulge his own appetite, teased, "Well, that’s unusual! What if we simply bring you a feast anyway? Surely something will catch your fancy."
Arjuna, who had been sharpening his bow, chuckled. "Maybe you’re just saving up your cravings for something truly special. Shall we guess what it might be?"
Draupadi raised an eyebrow, her mood brightening with their playful banter. "I wouldn’t be surprised if you guessed wrong. I’m actually quite content at the moment."
Just as she spoke, a servant hurried in, carrying a tray with a large, juicy watermelon. Draupadi’s eyes widened, and a sudden, intense craving overtook her. "Wait! I’ve just realized—watermelon! I need watermelon!"
The Pandavas exchanged amused glances, their earlier teasing now turning into eager anticipation. Nakula grinned and said, "Well, it seems you’ve found something to crave after all."
Sahadeva, always quick to react, took the watermelon and began slicing it. "Here you go, Panchali. I hope it’s as refreshing as you imagined."
As Draupadi bit into the sweet, juicy fruit, she closed her eyes in delight. "This is exactly what I needed," she said with a satisfied sigh.
Bhima, who had been waiting for a chance to join in, playfully commented, "Looks like our queen has a taste for summer delights. Should we start preparing for the next craving now?"
Arjuna added, "If watermelon is what you need today, then watermelon it shall be. But be ready—tomorrow might bring something entirely different!"
Draupadi laughed, her spirits lifted by their teasing and care. "Thank you all. It seems that even when I’m not actively craving something, you all find a way to make sure I’m well taken care of."
The Pandavas, pleased with her happiness, enjoyed the moment of camaraderie. As they watched Draupadi savor her watermelon, they knew that their role was not just to fulfill her cravings but to be a source of joy and support throughout her pregnancy.
