**Chapter 98: The Aftermath**

The room had been meticulously cleaned and restored to its previous state. The shattered glass, broken vases, and mirrors were replaced, and the door was repaired. The space now looked almost as if the chaos had never occurred.

Draupadi lay peacefully in her bed, her injuries bandaged and her breathing calm. The Pandavas returned to her side, their concern evident in their expressions. They had spent time reflecting on the events that had transpired and their impact on Draupadi.

Yudhishthira, Arjuna, Bhima, Nakula, and Sahadeva gathered around Draupadi’s bed. Each of them gently caressed her injured hand and her hair, their touches tender and full of affection. Their hearts ached with the weight of their emotions, and they silently wept as they held her close.

In hushed tones, the Pandavas spoke to one another, their voices laced with a mixture of sadness and anger. They knew that the turmoil Draupadi had experienced was not solely due to her own feelings but was also a result of external provocations, particularly from Ishmihan Hatun.

Yudhishthira, his voice barely above a whisper, said, “This pain Draupadi is enduring... it’s all because of Ishmihan Hatun. We must ensure that she faces the consequences of her actions.”

Arjuna, with a determined look in his eyes, added, “Her actions have caused so much suffering. We cannot let this go unanswered. Draupadi deserves justice, and we must make sure she receives it.”

Bhima, his face set in a grim expression, nodded in agreement. “We’ve seen the impact of her provocation firsthand. It’s unacceptable, and we need to act decisively to prevent such incidents in the future.”

Nakula and Sahadeva, their eyes filled with tears, shared their silent resolve. They knew that while their primary focus was Draupadi’s recovery, they also needed to address the source of her distress.

Sahadeva spoke quietly, “We’ll have to be vigilant and take action to protect Draupadi and ensure her safety. This situation cannot be allowed to repeat itself.”

Nakula added, “We’ll support her through this, and we’ll make sure she knows she’s not alone. Our priority is her well-being and ensuring that justice is served.”

As they continued to speak, the Pandavas found comfort in their shared resolve and in the knowledge that they were united in their efforts to support Draupadi. Their tears were a testament to their deep care and commitment, and their determination to seek justice for her was unwavering.

For now, their focus remained on Draupadi, offering her the care and support she needed as she recovered. The resolve to address the wrongs done to her remained a driving force, one that would guide their actions as they navigated the challenges ahead.
