--------------------------------------------------
This story is my own imagination. It has nothing to do with the epic Mahabharata,only the time period is of mahabharat era. Don't get offended. Here Draupadi only married Arjun.

Most magnificent scene i have ever scene of course after witnessing my Panchali at her swayamvar is this. Arjun,third among Pandavas thought. The sight that catch his attention and heart is his wife playing with kids like a kid, Arjun thought and smiled. Draupadi while playing with kids some how feel she is being watched. When she look here and there to confirm her doubt notice that he was no other than her beloved husband Arjun. Their eyes met and draupadi blushed.

Priya mitr parth, i thought you stop here at dwarka to meet me but look you still busy in admiring sakhi,Krishna said keeping his hand on his Parth's shoulder. This time it was arjun who got blushed. Arjun replied yes madhav we were here to meet and greet you,now stop making me redden. Let's go inside.
Draupadi came inside the palace during dawn time. She accompanied Krishna's chief consort Rukmini in serving dinner to their respective husband. Krishna saw them and interrupt their conversation "Rukku are you giving some tips to the newlywed, don't give the punishment idea to sakhi or else the great archer Arjun will become joke among people how he can't protect himself from his wife." Arjun's expressions were worth watching, he was surprised but then understood that madhav is teasing him,then smiled in return. Draupadi and Rukmini gave each other a beaming expressions. Arjun questions "Madhav,you get punishment from Devi Rukmini only or from others as well. I guess Devi Satyabhama is ahead of everyone in punishing you". He laughed after asking the question. Krishna stare him then making his small he nods in yes and every one burst into laughter.

Next day, Arjun and Draupadi said their good byes to Dwarkanath and continued their journey to Indraprasth.

In between their journey, they stop near a village to rest as it was about to night. Their arrangement for night was done by an old women who lives with her 2 sons- shambhu and gopal and a daughter-in-law- gauri. His unmarried son,shambhu, came to gave them few necessaries for night like blanket when he notice that draupadi is looking at night moon. He got smitten by her then and there. He clear his throat to get her attention which he got and said to her "here are few necessaries for you,if you want more you can call me anytime". Draupadi wants to thank him but Arjun appears and thanks him in a straight stern voice. He has notice him how he was watching his panchali.
The couple couldn't resume their journey as lord Indra has blessed them with the rain. So they have to wait till the rain stops. Meanwhile Shambhu was trying his best to gain draupadi's attention. He has never seen someone so beautiful. He talk with her about his house, make her laugh on his silly jokes sometimes. Draupadi wasn't a fool. She knew her effect on people. She understood that he likes her but notice that it was just his attraction not love or lust. So she just treat him casually and maintain her distance.
Arjun came with some flowers for her when he stopped and saw shambhu admiring his wife "Maharani Draupadi,main aapse kuch bolne ki anumati chahta hoon. Maine aapse adhik sunder stree nahi dekhi, aap sabse alag hai.. main bs aapko dekhta hi reh jata hoon. Janta hoon aap vivahit h kintu main swayam ko rok hi nahi pata."(Queen Draupadi, if you allow me say something, i want to say that i haven't witness a beautiful woman like you in my life, you are different from everyone. I know you are married but I can't stop myself from adoring you.) Draupadi knew his intention weren't bad but still felt little uncomfortable.
Before he can say anything further, Arjun makes an entry with distasteful look on his face. If looks can kill.. shambhu would be lying deep in earth. Arjun was in full rage controling himself,said, i know it's your house but mind us giving us privacy. Shambhu left but still took a glance at draupadi who was watching arjun. "Arya, Arya..don't forget his family helped us, they provide us shelter." Draupadi tried calming him down. Arjun with irritation said thats why he is alive panchali. He continued about shambhu how clingy man is he. Always around my Panchali. Next time i will stich his mouth and eyes so that he can't see you nor can talk about you. Draupadi smiled hearing him. Arjun gaze at draupadi, their eyes met and said "panchali, i cannot bear any man watching you. You are my to adore, only i have the right to make you smile, only i can look in your eyes and claim that i love you. You are mine and will always be. I am mad for Panchali. I am madly in love with you". They keep their eye contact for like eternity. Draupadi was beetroot red. Love in her eyes can be clearly seen. I love you too Rajkumar Arjun, draupadi said. Arjun first peck her nose, then a kiss on forehead. Draupadi embrace him like her life is dependent on him(which is true). Arjun again express his love "i will do anything for you panchali, i really love you" while reciprocating the hug.
