Draupadi came running in Amarsri’s room, crying as her entire world collapsed, which wasn’t far from truth.
“HARIHARESHWARI !” She said sobbing as she fell on her knees. Amarsri looked at her with sad eyes, life was unfair to her and will always will be.
“AAPKO TOH SAB GYATH HAI, MERE MUH SE UN PAACHO SE VIVAH KARNE KI BAAT KAISE NIKAL GAYI, AISA ADHARM ?” Draupadi said sobbing, Amarsri kneeled beside her and kept a hand on her shoulders.
“KYU KAHE YEH VACHAN TUMNE ? KAR LETI PANDUPUTRA YUDDHISTIR SE VIVAH.” Amarsri said.
“MAI WAHA GHAR BASANE GAYI THI, TODNE NAHI. KAISE UN CHARO KO SANYAS LENE DETI.” Draupadi said.
“BINA APNE MAAN SAMMAAN KO DHYAN MAI RAKHKE KEVAL UNKA JEEVAN VYARTH NA HO, TUMNE AISA NISWARTH NIRNAYE LIYA WOH KAISE ADHARM HUYA DRAUPADI, KABHI KABHI JO ADHARM DIKHTA HAI, WOH SABSE BADA DHARM HOTA HAI.” Amarsri said.
“TOH KYA YEH DHARM HAI ?” Draupadi asked.
“ISSE MAI DHARM KEH KAR DUSRE NAARIYO KA JEEVAN BARBAD NAHI KAR SAKTI, KINTU TUMHARI PARISTHITI BHINN HAI, KABHI KABHI PARISTHITI MAI JO UCHIT HOTA HAI, DUSRO KO WOH ADHARM DIKHTA HAI. KINTU VASTAVIKTA MAI TOH WOH DHARM HI HAI, JAO DRAUPADI THODA VISHRAM KARO.” Amarsri said, Draupadi nodded and went to her room.
In the Other Side the dilemma of Pandavas was cleared by the author of this tale Ved Vyas (not me)
“KUNTI MUJHE LAG RAHA HAI KI TUMNE ABHI TAK PANDAVO KO SATYA NAHI BATAYA.” Ved Vyas said and a tear fell from Kunti's eyes.
“KAUNSA SACH MATA ?” Yuddhistir asked.
“PUTRO, KADACHIT YEH SATYA JAANE KE BAAD TUM SAB MERA MUKH DEKHNE SE BHI MANA KARDO, KINTU YEH SATYA JAANA TUMHARE LIYE MAHATWAPURN HAI, ISS LIYE MAI PEHLE SE TUM SABHI SE KSHAMA MAANG RAHI HU.” Kunti said sobbing.
“AISA KAUNSA SACH HAI MATA ?” Arjun asked impatiently.
“ANGRAJ KARNA TUMHARE JYESHT BHRATA HAI.” Kunti said, the Pandavas gasped.
-Time Skip-
The Pandavas were heartbroken listening to the news, Yuddhistir was frozen in place, Bheem and Arjun sobbing uncontrollably realising they said harsh words to their own brother. Nakul and Sehdev were crying silently, now Sehdev realised why he always felt a brotherly vibe from Karna. They didn’t say a word to Kunti, their silence was breaking her heart, she expected them to curse at her, scold her but not saying a word was enough hell for her.
“ISS BAAT PE ABHI ARDHVIRAM RAKHE, PEHLE RAJMAHAL JAO TUM SABHI.” Ved Vyas said and left.
“JYESHT, HUM 5 PURUSH EK STREE SE KAISE VIVAH KAR SAKTE HAI, WOH EK BICHARI KAISE PAACH PATIYO KE PRATI SAMARPIT HOGI.” Bheem asked still confused.
“EK PAACH KE PRATI SAMARPIT NAHI HO SAKTI, KINTU PAACH TOH EK KE PRATI SAMARPIT HO SAKTE HAI.” Yuddhistir said.
The Pandavas with Rajmata Kunti reached the Palace but before they could enter Drupad stopped them angrily.
“MERI PUTRI KA AISA APMAN KARKE, YAHA APNA MUKH DIKHANE KA SAHAS RAKHTE HO ?!” Drupad said.
“DHRISHTDYUMN ABHI ISI SHARN INKO MRITYU KE GHAT UTAR DO, BRAHMAN HATYA KA PAAP LAGEGA TOH MERE PUTRI KE SAMMAN KE RAKSHAN KE KARAN, JISKA MUJHE KOI UPSOS NAHI.” Drupad roared as he ordered Dhrishtadyumn. The young prince was about to raise his weapon but Krishna stopped them revealing the identity of Brahmins. Drupad was not able to accept the fact that they were the Pandavas and the one who won the Swayamvar was none other than Arjun, whom he wanted Draupadi to marry.
“KINTU FIR BHI INHONE DRAUPADI KA APMAN KIYA HAI.” Drupad argued.
“SMARAN KIJIYE MAHARAJ DRUPAD, AAPNE DRAUPADI KE JANM KE DIN DEVTAO SE KYA MANGA THA USKE BHAGYA KE LIYE.” Krishna said. Tears fell from Drupad’s eyes remembering how he asked for a life full of hardships and Humiliation for her.
“KABHI-KABHI MATA PITA KE KARMO KA DAND UNKE NIRDOSH SANTANO KO MILTA HAI, YEH AAPKE JAMATA HAI MAHARAJ DRUPAD, INKA SWAGAT KARNA APKA DHARM BHI HAI AUR KARTAVYA BHI.” Krishna said.
Now it was decided that Draupadi will marry 5 Pandavas the very next day.
