Love & Betrayal

~ Moments of happiness

The morning rays of sun spread in the room, passing through the curtains it hitted on his face. Yudhishthir sideways his face and yawned little, a smile was plastered on his face as the last night flashed before his eyes and that made him jerk out of the sleep. His eyes met with her smiling face as he felt her fingers moving on his cheek. She came near him and kissed on his forehead.

"Arya get up now!" She said in her melodious voice. Yudhishthir smiled with her overwhelming emotions as his eyes filled with tears automatically. He sat up and hugged her, she hid in his chest confused but stayed silent. "What happened arya?"

"How many mornings I had woken up without you. Everyday I had searched you near me despite knowing that you were not there. Everynight you had occupied my dreams and it killed me to see the side empty. I know how I have survived these years without you. I didn't even know that you were alone carrying our son, how much emotional breakdown you had to face and I wasn't there. You gave the love of both parents to prati but I wasn't there to enjoy that life. You accepted me back in your life after what I did. How will I ever be free from this sin?" He spoke out his heart. Draupadi rubbed his back and then kissed on his head.

"Let's not remember the past, you wanted to start everything from new and so we do. We will make more memories together. You were not with me at prativindya's birth but whenever we will have another child you will take care of him. It will be your responsibility to do everything, I won't help you." She said as he pulled back and nodded his head like a child. She wiped his tears and kissed on his forehead.
"It's too late, I have to get ready any leave for court."

"Arya please! You are sick, atleast leave it for today. And bharata karan, arjun, nakul shadev everyone is there to see it. I'm warning you if you move a bit from bed." She said with an angry face. Yudhishthir wasn't convince and trying to keep his point but she warned him in her way.
Something came in his mind as seeing her wet hair he felt attracted. He pulled her towards himself and kissed on her cheek. "You are looking more beautiful today." His words brought a blush on her cheeks. She lowered her eyes as the last night thing started filming before her eyes. She could feel his lingering touches, his deep and passionate kiss, his love making. It all was driving her crazy and he knew it because the same things were happening with him.

"I have works." She said walking down the bed. He held her hand and brought her closer. "Don't leave me please!" His eyes held the mischief but with that it was holding a kind of new love. As if with time his love was growing young for her. Draupadi could feel the intensity and she too dearly wished to sit by his side for whole day but then she had duties, as a queen, as a mother and as the daughter in law.
"You get freshen up Arya, I will be back soon. Vindya won't eat anything if I stayed back here."

"Where is my prati? I haven't played with him properly from few days, these nakul shadev has stolen away my son from me." He suddenly said realising the lack of attention he was getting from his son.

"Maa! Baba!" The voice came as both snapped to him. Yudhishthir smiled widely as he tried to get up but draupadi stopped him. Prativindya hugged his mother first then turned to his father. He spread his arms as yudhishthir pulled him up on his lap. He gave many kisses on his son's face pouring his affection to his little self. "I missed you putra! Why are you so bush with everyone?"

Prativindya giggled and looked at his mother then turning to his father kept his palm on yudhishthir's cheek. "Baba! I'm warrior, I have to protect you all that's why I was learning bow from pitama."  His amusing words softened his parents eyes. They both smiled with adoration as yudhishthir pinched his cheek and kissed there. "You don't need to become a warrior so soon. You are my little son and when the right time comes I myself will teach you everything, till then just be with your father." He spoke out remembering his father who used to love him so much that everyone used to call him a spoilt brat but after his father's death his life changed upside down. It changed the carefree him into a serious one which he doesn't wish for his son.
