Samragyi Draupadi to Priya Panchali

20. The Message

Draupadi POV:-

On the river bank, I along with my Arya Nakul and Arya Sahadev is sitting. Actually, they are not sitting silently, they are constantly disturbing me. Secretly, I like it.
"Arya, do you tell me what is the good news which brought you here?", I again ask him.
And they are still smiling, looking at each other.
"Wait, wait, everything will be disclosed very soon", Arya Sahadev replies while playing with my hair, then he is kisses on my cheeks and chin repeatedly.
Arya Nakul run his fingers through the edge of my ear, jawline and neck. Then he lay down and rest his head on my lap. His fingers are still running over mine.
"What are you doing, Arya?", I coyly ask him while detaching his fingers.
"Searching good news!", His silly eyes with charismatic smile dance on his face. Yes, I like this smile of him. These naughtiness of him makes me mad at him, blush me unknowingly.
"No such good news is available now", I scold him in fake angry tone.
"So, let's create", Arya Sahadev smirks at me.
"What!! So—, ssh", I roll my eyes at him, "I can't understand what triggering you?", I utter in humming voice.
"It's always your beauty which captivates us", Arya Sahadev speaks.
I put my head down and Arya Nakul's eyes met mine. I again look up and turn my head to the opposite side of Arya Sahadev's position.
Arya Nakul again starts lingering his fingers over mine, over the tippet which is covering my breast and abdomen. It feels as tickling. And I just trying not to express it. Finally his fingers stop near my naval.
He starts shifting the tippet and start exposing my belly. I can feel his touch on my bare belly, on the edge of my naval and slowly it's going down. I hold my breath which shrinks my belly too. His soothing touch make me numb, my eyeballs stop, lips became wide open a little and every organ of mine became immovable.

Then I feel a warm deep kiss between my jawline and neck. It's Arya Sahadev, I can feel him too. It rises and stops over my lips. Then he releases his lips from mine and smiles at me.
I gasp, release my breath and gulp my upcoming moan.
"Don't", I push Arya Sahadev a little. But Arya Nakul remains. His fingers are still on my lower abdomen, below my naval. With shame I can't eye contact with him. Just looking at Arya Sahadev's eyes.

It seems like time has stopped. I became a statue. And my two Arya nurturing myself.

"The strech marks are still visible", Arya Nakul says while caressing those marks while bearing my five sons from my five Aryas.
These words of my Arya breaks my sensational numbness. I control myself and replies, "Yes Arya, these are my first gifts from the gifts given by my Arya lovingly".
I run my fingers through his hair while recalling the face of my five sons.
"No Panchali, they are the gifts which you gave us by your penance", Arya Sahadev utters.
Arya Nakul turns his resting head on my lap more towards me, wrap his arm around my belly and kisses over those strech marks. Then he gets up from my lap and hugs me tightly and says, "My Panchali has bear several things only due to us", his voice trembles with bursting emotions.
"No Arya it's Love", I try to correct him.
"We are so grateful, we get you as our beloved", Arya Sahadev too hug me tightly and kisses on my head.
Both of my Arya's amorous behaviour suddenly changes into affectionate nurturing.

"Our sons", I mumbles, "I am missing them a lot, a lot"
"We too dear", both of my Arya replies in unison.
A long pause and four glittering eyes, "Our son is coming to visit us", Arya Nakul informs me with a gentle, shaky voice which describing his tide of happiness.
"Day after tomorrow", Arya Sahadev completes the sentence.

This sudden heartthrob message make me more numb, more effectively.
"Arya, really— o-ou-rr sons!", I lost my words due to joy. I again and again look at them.

"Let's go Arya", I rise up hurriedly from my place to walk back into the cottage. But, both of my Arya pulls me back again.
"Where — are you going?", Arya Nakul asks with sparkling his handsome eyes, "Dress up yourself properly".
I shyly look myself. Yes, Arya is right. My tippet, veil has loosen up.
Arya Nakul gets up, plates my tippet perfectly, rumbles my hairs in decorative alignment.
Arya is expertise in this too. In Indraprastha also, he used to dress me up.

"Sahadev, is everything perfect?", Arya Nakul asks Arya Sahadev about his work.
"Yes, I have full confidence on my bhrata in these works", Arya Sahadev mocked Arya Nakul, "But, whatever you dressed her up, doesn't matter, she is pretty,  beauty itself", and he compliments me as well.
I bursts in laughter. It's each of my Arya's special quality, joking and mocking each other, which entertains me a lot, especially their fake fighting.
"What you want to mean? I don't do anything?", Arya Nakul states.
"No, I don't mean so."
"I can't catch your intelligence, still I have little logic"
"Ohh, you call yourself stupid too. Yes I agree", Arya Sahadev laughs at Arya Nakul.
"If I am stupid then you are lazy"

"Ohho, stop it, Arya", finally I shouts in between them. Lifting my heel to gain height then close their mouth by my two palms, "How you two are quarrelling?"
"It's not quarrel, it's our battle, you don't interfere", Arya Sahadev replies.
"Stop, stop Arya, even Som and Karman not shout like this".
"Did you ever see bhrata Bhim and bhrata Arjun is quarrelling like this?", Arya Nakul comments.
"So, I am in afraid what my Sata and Shrut will do when they will start to talk", I says looking at both of them.
"Our Prati will join with them", Arya Sahadev laughs.
"My Prati is a good boy", I says
"Obviously, he should be. Let's Prati to handle his two younger brother", Arya Nakul says.
"No, my Sata and Shrut will be very good boy", I says.
"Always my my—", Arya Nakul scolds me lightly.
"Panchali missing them a lot", Arya Sahadev exclaims.
I close my eyes and nod my head in affirmation. An unknown emotional smile spread over my face unknowingly. I can feel it.
"We too dear".
Both of my Arya hugs me tightly together.

The winds ruffles the high rising branches and numerous leaves and flowers fall over us. In the distant trees, several sweet singing birds chirps in unison. The water of river starts dancing with breeze. The nature suddenly expose its tenderness more tenderly.
The feelings suddenly dance over my heart, which I felt a long before. My motherhood blooms again in urge of meeting my sons again.
My ears start echoing the single word,
"Ma, Ma—, M-a, Mm—a, M-m—aa—"
