A story on Pandavas and Panchali

Friends forever...

"Are everyone fine there" asked Draupadi for the fiftieth time to which Malini said "Yes" for the fiftieth time.
"You need not worry dear King Drupad and his queens and all your siblings are fine. " remarked shyama.

Shyama and Malini are Draupadi's best friends at panchal. She missed them equally as she missed her family as they were the ones who participated in her mischief in her motherland. They had come to Indraprastha to meet their friend and the three were sitting in the blooming Royal garden of Indraprastha.

"Now if you are okay I would like to say one thing Shyama and me are getting married next month " Said Malini.
" Oh what really" remarked the queen raising her brows in surprise giving a mischievous smile.

"May I know who are those bridegrooms" Spoke Panchali.
"Both are brothers and are soldiers of Indraprastha's army. " Replied Shyama with shy.
"Oh so I'm not going to miss you here after as you both would be here with me at Indraprastha. "Said Panchali With a wide grin and a narrowed eyes.

"Yes we are migrating from Panchal to Indraprastha to disturb you. " exclaimed Malini . "Is it so" rereplied the queen with a fake annoyed expression.

The weather was so cool. Mild breezes with dim light and the fragrance of the flowers gave the women a perfect place to chat.
On the other side of the garden one could find Arjun and his dear Madhav along with satyabhama roaming through the garden.
While the ladies on the other side passed time by recalling anecdotes of past and having a hearty laughter.

Time passed by. And this was when a woman knocked Draupadi's head standing behind her. Malini and Shyama stood up to see who the woman was.
But Yagyaseni without turning back asked "Why do you intend to hurt me sathya".

"No nothing sorry" Said sathyabhama with an annoyed expression.
Subhadra who was standing at a distance now came near to them and asked "Bhabhi why are you angry at jiji". With an questioning expression on her face.

" I understood Sathya. The anger that you cannot show there is being expressed here. " Said Draupadi with a smile pointing Arjun and Madhav.

"  Yes you are right. Your husband annoys me. He does not leave me  to spend time alone with Arya".remarked Sathya.

"And  why do you want to beat me if you are angry at Arjun" asked Draupadi.
"A reasonable quest... " Said Subhadra but  soon was cut shot of words as she saw the fiercy look of Sathyabhama.

"It was he who said that you both are one.He fancied that you both are one soul in two forms. And both have the same feelings. That's why I checked if it pains there if I beat here. "Said Sathya with her innocent tone. Only then did she took notice of Shyama and Malini and narrowed her eyes.

Draupadi said " Shyama .. Malini.. You both leave to your rooms. I will meet you there after a short while. "
Both nodded their heads trying to hide the wide grin on their faces after hearing Sathya's words.
After both of them left Sathya asked "Did I behave so childish in front of them. " With a pittiful expression.

"You had given them enough information to tease me. Why do you want to behave so childishly Sathya" Asked krishnaa widening her eyes.

"Hey. Stop. It's your husband who behaves childishly. If he had been born as a woman.. Oh God..then it would be very much ill favouring. " Complained Sathya.

"Why do say ill favouring. He would be very beautiful.. "Said Draupadi innocently.
"Yes. Jiji is right" Assured Subhadra.

"Subhara stop. Do you both behave like  co-wives. I can't see a bit of jealous on your eyes. Shame on you"said Sathya.
"Shame.. " Both the ladies exclaimed seeing each other's eyes.

"I meant ill favouring for me. I bet Draupadi if he had been an woman then he would have been the first one to marry Arya even preceeding over Rukmini didi. He would not have left any woman to even go near Arya not even you, his Sakhi Or Subhadra his sister" Said Sathya.

"Yah it would have been true if I was a woman but to your luck it didn't happen" Said Arjun.
"When did you both come here." asked Sathya seeing her swami and her competitor - Arjun.

"As early as we could so that we can overhear whatever you spoke" Said Govind.
"Why do you feel so jealous on me. You spend more time with him right. I only spend time with him when he is here at Indraprastha" Spoke Arjun.

"Priye. Why do you worry so much. Who is more important to me than you. " Spoke Madhav pronouncing each words as sweet as he could, love dripping.

"Close your eyes. I have bought a gift for you. "Sathya nodded and did it as a two year child does.
"Govind took some flowers and gave it to her" She opened her eyes to see that it was her favourite and became more excited.
Arjun spoke " But Madhav you said it was Rukmini devi's favourite and you are taking it for her" Inquire Arjun seeing Sathya with a mocking  tone.

"What!! Arya!! " Said Sathya very much annoyed and left the place.
The Lord of the universe running behind her to pacify his wife.

While the other three Gandivadhari and his both wives standing there laughing at the banter.
