"You WHAT?" The lawns of Amravati replicated the voice of Yagnaseni as she glared at her husband. "Thats YOUR logic of me being dead before you all?"
Yudhisthir involuntarily told her why she died first: the Arjun fact. To which, her reaction was not very submissive.
"No...I just thought that..." He stammered with fear seeing his fire-born wife.
"I don't care what you thought." Draupadi was offended. Is this the world is going to think about me?
"What about the fact that I AM married to you 5, and if anyone of you die then I shall be a widow? That would contradict Mahadev's boon of 'Atal Soubhagini'?" She blabbered in one go.
"Answer me this: Who do you love more, me or Devika?" She demanded with her arms crossed around her bosom.
"Nonsense. Of course equally..."
Yudhisthir was speechless however his silent was fuming Draupadi more.

"Oho...its okay for a man to love twice or more, but if a woman..." Draupadi then fumed into full drive screaming at the top of her lungs.
Yudhisthir unblinkingly stared at her, making out plans to cool down the fire infront of him. Should I shout too? I so wish Arjun or Bheem were here...

"I let you down again, didn't I?" Yudhisthir at last murmured in a low voice, his eyes facing towards the ground.

Draupadi now stopped shouting, but was disappointed, "You, of all people, I thought were open minded-- like when you appointed me as finance minister, or made Shikhandi Jiji as your army chief, or agreed to Suthanu's love marriage..."

"I am sorry my Krishnaa. Please forgive me. You know I am such a mess at times" He said holding his ears with puppy-dog eyes.

Panchali lips curved in a smile. How could someone not smile at this? Though Yudhisthir was much older than her, at this moment he looked like a child begging for forgiveness.
"Fine. I forgive you." She said with a poker face, trying to act 'all tough'.
But the next gesture of him, melted her. Yudhisthir leaned forward and gave a peck at her cheek and started to walk away. Draupadi looked at her not-so-Yudhisthir husband.
Is he in his right minds? I can't even remember when he acted this goofy.
She giggled loudly holding his arms.
They both found tranquility again.

Draupadi teased him, "Oh Yudhisthir-- Dharmaraj, emperor, spearmen, LOVER, and what not..."
