~ Emergency

When panchali has reached her chamber, nakul and shadev were present there doing the treatment of their brother's wounds. Yudhishthir had asked them not to worry but only if they listened to him. As she reached he stiffened on his place, he didn't want to face her but he has to.

"Pranipaat bhabhishree!" They both greeted as draupadi smiled at them. She sat near her husband and took a look on his wounds. "Everything is fine bhabhi, these wounds will heals in no time. And bhrata take some good rest. We will take your leave now. Shubhratri!" Wishing them both nakul and shadev moved out of the room. Draupadi closed the doors and again came to him. He was silent, not even looking at her. She held his chin in her fingers and made him look in her eyes.
"What I did was for our betterment. It's all between us then why should someone other punish you. You have also hidden a truth from me, did I ever say anything? Then why are you upset with me for lying?" She asked. His eyes we're holding tears and frustration which came out as words.

"I'm upset on myself. What kind of man i am when I can't even do anything for my wife? You had to lie for saving me. You had to suffer for saving my child. And in return what I am giving? Just insults? Character assassinations? Sometimes I think, that I'm the curse of your life. It was better if we had never collided paths together___"

"Enough arya!" She interrupted him and stood before him. "Today you said this but never again repeat it. You are my destiny, not this way then any other way you had to be with me. If I wasn't pregnant with prativindya years ago then also I had loved you only. You can't just push me away for everything arya, I have fought with my destiny for you. Your duty is to love me and not always blaming yourself. You want to repent then do it by loving me, pushing me away from yourself with only cause problems there won't be any solution." She said it all while caressing his face. Yudhishthir felt his legs unable to take his weight. He was overwhelmed with this feeling. She loves him selflessly, he had done many mistakes and everytime she accepted him with it.

His hands wrapped around her and without caring about his wounds he pulled her to his chest. His face hidden on her shoulder as he let go of the weight of guilt in them. She too relaxed in his arms, why didn't he understand this small thing. Blaming himself will do nothing.
"I'm warning you, next time if you do this then I will surely leave for panchal. Now I have my father on my side." She warned to which he tightened his grip and pinched on her waist. She glared at him but the giggled seeing his innocent face.

"Sometimes I think vindya is more responsible and understanding than you. You are such a spoilt brat." She said for teasing him which actually worked. He glared her with a shake of head. "You again started with this topic."

"Of course I will! I can handle 10 children of mine but you alone are above all."

"Let me give you 10 children first then repeat this sentense." He mischievously said coming closer to her. Draupadi widened her eyes at this and started resisting him while pushing him away.

"Be a good man and take rest." She said finally distracting him. He laid on the bed with her sitting with his head in her lap. He tightly hugged her while she kept stroking his hair. Suddenly while doing so she broke out into tears. Yudhishthir snapped at her, he pulled her down in his arms. She cried snuggling into his embrace and he knew the reason behind her tears.

"I'm fine panchali!" He whispered but only if she could control herself. She touched his, ensuring her heart that he was fine and near her. He pulled her closer and kissed on her forehead, she was sobbing her heart while he was convincing her to be calm.
After a quite long time she was calm and laying in his embrace. He checked her then kissed on her cheek.
