A story on Pandavas and Panchali

THE DREAM.

"You are a child today. So you should obey every words of us." Spoke Nakul.

The queen nodded slightly , her lips curved in a smile, her eyes beholding joy and curiosity.

"You should not cross question us today. " Said Bheem.

She nodded with the same joy.

"You should also -"
Next was Arjun's turn, but he was cut shot by Kunti.

"Are you all going to leave my putri or not. She wants to enjoy her day as a child but you all are going on laying conditions after conditions just to annoy her." Said Kunti.

"I will be the first one to help her live her dream." Said Kunti.

Draupadi was in a way surprised by kunti's words.

Even her mata wants to help her. It makes her feel special. The care and love that they shower on her leaves her surprised and blessed.

" Every mother has a sense of merry and content when she by herself feeds her little ones. "Spoke Kunti.

"Yes mata. I too feel a sense of contentment only if you feed me. " Said Bheem with glistening eyes.

"Yes Bheem it's because there is an endearing tenderness in the love of a mother to a son that transcends all other affections of the heart. " Said Yudhishthir.

"So let me shower that tenderness and love on my daughter today. " Told Kunti as she ordered the servants to bring the food and took the food and fed it to Draupadi with utmost affection and care.

Draupadi's eyes we're brimming with tears of ectasticity. She gave kunti a heartwarming smile.

"Mata.. --love --you" Words were not enough to express her gratefulness to her mother- iin-law , oh no -her mother.

"Love you too putri. Even being the mother of the greatest warriors on earth, I too yearned to have and bring up a daughter. And that dream of mine have come true. " Said the Raj mata love shining in her eyes.

"See bhratha we are being cornered." Said Bheem to Yudhishthir getting a chuckle from everyone.

Once the mother had finished feeding her daughter Arjun spoke "So according to your letter you wanted to have small dolls right. "

"Here you go" Said yudhishthir as he handed over a small doll to the queen.

The doll was perfect - perfect as she imagined one to be. It was faultless. It had the same features as the one she used to have in her imagination all those days.
Do they even read my mind. She thought to herself.

"May be" Sahadev's voice came out in a whisper but it rang clear and distinct in her ears leaving her surprised.

"May be we could read your mind" He completed the sentence shaking her out of her thoughts.

"Thank you Arya" Said Draupadi still admiring the doll, her orbs showed the contentment that she felt in her heart.

"What are you going to do with this now" asked Arjun.

The queen revealed her concealed emotions with astonishment. She spoke in a so innocent tone,
"I would love to play with it, talk with it, dress it up, and name it too. I seriously wanted to get such a doll and name it --"

Then as if being awakened she asked a question embarresed" Was I too childish?"

"Of course. But why do you worry. You're a child today right.
Indeed you fit well into the role Yagyaseni. " Said Bheem making everyone smile.

"Next You wanted to play hide and seek right? " Asked Nakul.

"Arya but" Draupadi.

Gifting a doll and feeding her were okay but hide and seek is a way too childish. She thought to herself.

"Please do procrastinate your buts . just come out of the thoughts of what others are going to think. It's your life. Live it the way you love it.you will not get all these chances again. It's your day. Enjoy it to the fullest."said Arjun.

She nodded in agreement.

"Nakul you find us . We will all hide" Almost everyone said in a chorus.

"But why me" He Asked annoyed .

"It would be fun bro" Replied the brothers in a chorus.

"Ok see how I am going to find each one of you within fraction of time." Said Nakul closing his eyes while the other five rushed in different directions to hide.

Yudhishthir and Arjun were sitting on a hidden branch of a tree in the garden.
Sahadev hid behind a bush keeping a keen look on Nakul.
While Bheem took Draupadi to the palace kitchen revealing her a secret hiding spot.
"I have never seen this place. " Said Draupadi.

"No one in the palace knows this place except me. This is one of my favorite spot in the whole palace. This is were I hide myself and eat those tasty laddoos that you and Mata hide from me."Said Bheem.
Only after saying so he realized that he had revealed his secret to his wife who was now glaring at him.

"No no Panchali you can't look at me like that . You are a child today. You can't scold me nor glare in this way. Sorry. "Said Bheem in a pleading manner.
For the world he may be the fearless Vrikodar but he had to fear for the fireborn princess. But to his luck the fire wasn't burning that much today.

"But how do you find the spot where it is hidden even after hiding it in different places each time. " Asked Yagyaseni.

"Following them" said Bheem pointing to the line of ants that were moving.

He followed the path followed by ants and then took out a jar full of laddoos that were hidden in the shelf.
Yagyaseni raised her brows in astonishment.

"Here I found you". Said Bheem taking the laddoo in his hand.

"Yes we found you" rang the voice of the four brothers in the kitchen.

But how. Bheem asked in disappointment.

"Who does not know that you hide in the kitchen bhratha" Said Nakul.

"Oh ok you found me" Affirmed Bheem.

"Yes I found you stealing the laddoos I made" said Kunti entering the kitchen pulling Bheem's ears.

"Sorry mata." Bheem said holding his ears giving her a innocent look.

While the others had a hearty laughter.

Each one then stood there feeding each other with pieces of laddoos and enjoying their cute happy moments.

The sun had gone and the moon had entered. The day was gone. But the walls of Indraprastha would always treasure those beautiful moments of their queen to be reminisced days and nights after... ❤❤
