Draupadi slowly helped herself up after the eventful first night, feeling the tenderness in her body as she walked toward the bath. The memories of the night before made her blush, but she steeled herself, knowing she needed to get on with her day. After bathing, she dressed in a beautiful saree, its intricate designs highlighting her natural grace and beauty.
The Pandavas woke up shortly after and also went for their baths. When they returned, they were only dressed in towels, water still dripping from their muscular bodies. Draupadi, still adjusting to the intimacy of the previous night, choked on the water she was drinking as her eyes widened at the sight before her. Though she had seen everything during the night, the daylight and their confident, teasing demeanor made her blush furiously.
The Pandavas noticed her reaction and couldn't help but smirk at her. Yudhishthira, always the one to tease her gently, said, "Ah, Draupadi, are you blushing as if you saw nothing last night? And yet, here you are, walking just fine."
Bhima chuckled deeply, adding, "We thought you'd be resting for longer, given how thorough we were."
Arjuna grinned mischievously, "Perhaps we need to make sure she remembers the night even better next time."
Nakul and Sahadeva, always quick to support their elder brothers, joined in, saying, "Or maybe she just needs a reminder. Should we help you recall the events of the night, Draupadi?"
Draupadi, her cheeks now a deep shade of red, couldn't find the words to respond. She just averted her gaze, trying to suppress a shy smile.
Seeing her discomfort, the Pandavas softened their teasing and moved closer. Yudhishthira gently placed a hand on her shoulder, "You look beautiful, Draupadi. The saree suits you perfectly."
The other brothers nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with admiration. Arjuna added, "No matter what you wear, you captivate us."
Their words and gentle touches made Draupadi's heart swell with love and warmth, easing the earlier embarrassment. She looked up at them, her eyes sparkling with affection, ready to face whatever the day would bring alongside her beloved husbands.
Draupadi tried to move, but the soreness from the night before made it difficult for her to even stand. Accepting her condition with a mix of embarrassment and pride, she settled herself onto a sofa, her movements slow and careful. The Pandavas, noticing her difficulty, exchanged proud smiles, their hearts swelling with a sense of accomplishment at having left her in such a state.
As they prepared to remove their towels to get dressed, Draupadi, her face flushing deeply, quickly raised her hand in protest. "Ahh, stop! At least wear something," she blurted out, her voice a mix of shyness and urgency.
The Pandavas couldn’t help but chuckle at her reaction. Yudhishthira, always the most composed, gave her a teasing smile. "But Draupadi, you were fine with seeing much more last night. Why so shy now?"
Arjuna added with a playful grin, "Or is it that you want us to dress slower, so you can enjoy the view a little longer?"
Bhima laughed heartily, "We can oblige, but only if you ask nicely."
Nakul and Sahadeva, always the playful ones, leaned in closer, their eyes twinkling with mischief. "Or perhaps you need a little help getting up? We wouldn’t mind assisting you, you know."
Draupadi’s blush deepened, and she quickly looked away, her heart racing. "No, no, just... get dressed already!" she insisted, her voice flustered.
The Pandavas laughed softly, enjoying her adorable embarrassment. They finally relented, taking pity on her and began to dress themselves properly, though they made sure to do so slowly, just to tease her a little more.
Once they were dressed, Yudhishthira walked over to her and offered his hand. "Come, Draupadi. We’ll help you stand. After all, we can’t leave you here all day."
Draupadi hesitated for a moment before taking his hand, letting him and the others gently assist her to her feet. As they stood close to her, their warmth and support surrounded her, making her feel secure and loved, despite the playful teasing. They each gave her a soft kiss on the forehead, their touches full of affection, before helping her make her way slowly out of the room.
"Let’s get you something to eat," Bhima suggested, his voice tender, "You’ll need your strength after last night."
Draupadi smiled, her earlier shyness fading as she looked at her husbands. "Thank you," she whispered, her heart full of gratitude and love. And with that, they began their day together, stronger and closer than ever.
