As the evening drew to a close, the atmosphere in the room shifted from playful to more serene. The deep bonds and shared laughter had created a warm and comfortable environment, but it was time for everyone to get some rest.

**A Gentle Farewell**

Kunti, with a motherly tone, said to her sons, “Go and sleep in your rooms, sons. It’s late, and you need your rest.”

Madri, turning to Draupadi with a similar sentiment, added, “And Draupadi, you should get some sleep as well. The night is over, and you need your rest.”

The Pandavas, still basking in the joy of the evening, each took a moment to show their affection before heading out. One by one, they approached Draupadi, kissing her cheeks softly. Each kiss was a tender reminder of their deep feelings and the bond they shared.

Draupadi, touched by their gestures, smiled warmly. “Thank you. Goodnight to all of you,” she said, her voice filled with affection.

**The Mothers’ Light-hearted Chiding**

As the Pandavas left the room, Kunti and Madri exchanged amused glances. They had observed the interactions with a mix of pride and light-hearted teasing.

Kunti, shaking her head with a smile, said, “You rascals. Always so affectionate and playful, even at this hour.”

Madri, chuckling softly, added, “Indeed. You make it hard for us to get a moment’s peace. But seeing you all so happy and connected makes it worth it.”

The playful banter between the mothers and their sons added a final touch of warmth to the evening. The affection and camaraderie were evident in every word and gesture.

**A Peaceful Night**

With the room now quiet, Draupadi settled into her bed, her mind still buzzing with the events of the evening. The kisses from the Pandavas, the teasing from the mothers, and the overall warmth of the night had left her with a sense of contentment and joy.

As she drifted off to sleep, she felt a deep sense of belonging and anticipation for the future. The bonds she had formed and the love she shared with the Pandavas were creating a foundation for a life filled with shared dreams and challenges.

**Looking Ahead**

The night passed peacefully, with the promise of a new day filled with opportunities and adventures. The relationships between Draupadi and the Pandavas, as well as with their families, were growing stronger and more meaningful.
