Pandavas' Panchaali.

Chapter 34

Panchaali wiped the last of her tears as she walked in the temple, she took a deep breath, calm down,everything is okay. You got it all together, smile Panchu, just smile. She gave herself a mental pep talk, the sound of her anklets was the only thing that echoed through the empty walls of the holy sculpture, the yagn must have gotten over by now it has been four hours. Her heart still weighed heavily, the words of guru mata reverberating through her mind, taunting her predicament and teasing her at every point, they acted as salt on her slowly healing wounds, the internal wounds on her heart that she had gained the day she had known that she can't carry a child. Her eyes stung as fresh set of tears flooded her eyes,how much more pain does she have to go? Four hours of crying and still she had the capacity to cry? It surprised her. She halted as she took a few deep breaths, letting herself calm down and slowly pushed everything back of her mind, before she forced a bright smile on her face like nothing ever happened and walked with a bit more grace, pretending to be the happiest as she slowly broke from with in, moving towards where she knew her family waited.

The pandavas paced, the remaining five had arrived as a surprise for Panchaali and were greeted here with a shock. They had expected to see a happy and jolly environment but all their hopes were crashed down. Bheem had informed them everything and with each passing moment, the anger was building, Panchaali's absence was just fueling the fury all the more, the further she stayed away, the more angry they grew, it was like with time the blaze of their wrath was just burning bright.

Guru mata's heart thumped as the fear chocked on her, the tension in the air was so thick that one could cut it with the knife, with each passing moment she could hear the footfalls of her death grow closer, move neared to her, making her heart thrummed with terror, why the hell did she stop that wh*re from performing the pooja? Only if she hadn't she wouldn't be facing the wrath of the kings, that wh*re has completely enchanted the six kings, she has made them forget all about others and focus only on her, what a cunning witch she is. Guru mata fumed as she continued to pace in her room that was back in the temple area.

The pandav patnis played and talked out near the temple garden smiling as they watched the kids play. Subhadra's heart was restless, she knew Panchaali better than anyone else, what Dhaara told everyone was a very unlikely to happen, Panchaali would never do that. She sighed, hopefully everything was fine.

"Arya?" Panchaali's voice had the six turning around, their heads snapped towards her direction making her freeze, what were they all doing here? She expected Bheem to be here but seeing the six had her heart freezing, oh god did they somehow get to know? She wondered, her heart thumping wildly in her chest as for a moment her smile faltered, she straightened as she corrected the smile and walked in, with each step she took in her heart pulsed all the more wildly, anxiety coiled in her stomach making her fidget. Their heavy gazes were like a dead weight on her shoulder as she could practically feel her husband's scrutinizing her. "Arya?" She called out softly, the six didn't say anything as they moved ahead, surrounding her in every direction making it impossible for her to leave. "Baby girl." Karn's thick voice reached her ears first, "Where have you been little one?" Yudhisthir's firm tone had her jolting as his chest pressed into back, his hot breath fanning on the oh so sensitive skin of her neck. Her breathing picked up, her heart shuddered with a thrumming nervousness throughout her body making her squirm where she stood, the dark eerie tone of her husband had sweat tickling down her back, her mind blanked of all the words as all she could feel were the six, her husbands and their strong powerful auras that had her knees wobbling.

"Jyest questioned you something kitten, answer him." Bheem's stern words had her jolting out of her trance, "I...I ...I had..been.." She shuttered, her mind was a mess, what should she say? Guru maa only wanted what was good for her family, she certainly can't throw her under the bus, "Lying to us wouldn't end good for you my heart." Arjun's words though sounded soft and calm, the underlying warnings didn't go unnoticed by her as his rough pads of fingers tracing her quivering bottom lips. Her chest went up and down at a rapid pace, her heart thundered in her chest, she could practically hear her blood flow. "I had been in the yagn arya." She whispered, her eyes focused on the floor as she blurted the words out, the finger tracing on her lips froze as Yudhisthir's hand on her waist tightened painfully. Her lip throbbed as Arjun's heavy finger pressed harder into it, pin drop silence followed her words, she could practically hear her own heart beat, their silence had her anxiety building, making her squirm uncomfortably where she stood. "Where were you?" Nakul's cold words shattered the heavy silence making her heart thrum all the more heavily. He took her hand in his as he began kissing his way up her hand to her shoulder, her breath hitched as he began dropping open mouthed kisses on her warm skin, his hot wet tongue playing with the sensitive skin there making sparks of pleasure rush through her, the cocktail of terror and pleasure was a deadly mix that was slowly intoxicating her senses making her grow more slow, her mind only able to process their touches and feels, "Where were you my girl?" His husky words caressed her ear, he began sucking the ear lobe biting and licking it making her want to squirm, hot thick laces of ecstasy bound her soul as his words pulled her to some level of awareness of this world, "Yagn arya." She lied again, her words coming out more breathier, Nakul bit her ear lobe sharply making her whimper in pain, that was swallowed by Sehdev as he slammed his lips against hers making her heart pleasure and fear as he kissed her roughly, mercilessly biting and nibbling at her lips. "Arya.." she moaned against his lips but his huge hand fisted her long tresses pulling at them sharply making them sting with agony, her eyes watered as her scalp burned, "One last freaking chance, WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU??" Shouted Sehdev as he pulled back making her jolt in terror, "One after another you have just been lying, Lying to your husbands, who had been pacing in this bloody room, worried to half death about your well-being and what THE HELL DO WE GET?! LIES!" Karn roared angrily making her eyes water as she trembled like a leaf, the hurt and anger that pandavas felt echoed through their tone, "Dhaara told us everything." Arjun informed her, a few threats and Dhaara spoke like a parrot, sure it wasn't easy to get the truth out of her but nothing was impossible for the pandavas when they were hell bent on getting it done.

"Oh dear love. Shouldn't you be coming to us regarding the things happened here? Instead what did you do? You sat crying there, are we dead or something..." Arjun's furious words were cut off by Panchaali, who had n expression of terror on her face, tears tracking down her face as sweat beaded her forehead, "No arya, please don't speak like this. I would die before seeing any of you harmed." She whispered the words, dripping of fear, love and agony, the six breathed heavily like an angry tiger, "If you consider us alive, than give me one good reason as to why am I finding my wife with swollen red eyes after hours of crying alone, why not in our arms. Why the heck not tell us about who hurt? Why cry? Why the heck the heck cry and suffer alone when there are six men ready to hold her?! Why the hell LIE TO US TO PROTECT THAT WITCH?! ANSWER ME PANCHAALI!" Yudhisthir shouted, his patience and calmness were in splinters, the hours of suppressed worry and anger had driven him near the brink of insanity, no one ever had affected her in the ways she did, he wanted to kiss her and hit her all at once. Damn it! Why the hell did he love her so much?! He breathed heavily as a caged angry lion, their love for her was the only thing that had the six leashed. "I am sorry arya." She broke crying, Yudhisthir turned her in his arms, hugging her closer, no matter how angry, they could never see her cry, the six touched some part of her body, soothing her caressing her as she mumbled apologies over and over again.

"Now tell us why did you do it?" Sehdev whispered, she held her silence, the fire of wrath that was slowly calming blazed once again as their jaw set, "Get the bloody witch arrested!!!" Shouted a furious Nakul ordering the guards outside the temple, "YOU CAN'T DO THIS ARYA!" She shouted, protesting her husband making their hearts blaze all the more, "Shut your mouth baby girl if you don't want us to behead that witch right this instant. As for you, don't you think that you're forgiven so easily, you still need to explain to us why you didn't come to us." Karn's words were cold, she quivered in fear as tears rained down her eyes, they moved, she stood rooted. Arjun growled as he picked her in his arms bridal style and marched out behind his brothers, she hid her face in his neck, her hands tightening around his neck, he pulled her closer to himself and his hold on her, no matter how angry or furious, they could never see her cry. He smirked as he watched the so called Guru mata being dragged by the female guards, who was screaming and shouting profanities. The pandavas glared at the woman, her reverse countdown had began. . .
