Not yesterday but now

Scared

Arjun and his brothers went to the temple. Arjun went there purposely as he heard that the wishes made by the worshippers will be fulfil by the deity of the temple.

"I don't know whether the dark eyed beauty I see frequently in my dream is really exist or not. But my heart telling me that I am very near to her. I could sense that. I want to meet her as fast as I could. I desperately waiting for see her in my real life" he prayed to the deity.

They returned to the guest palace after the temple visit.

Draupadi reached the palace and sneaked in silently and change her clothes with the help of the friend. Before anyone come to her chamber, she reached there. She saw that her friend sleep peacefully with a smile in the swing on balcony.

Without make any sound she went near him and placed a pillow under his head. She caressed his locks and left the chamber.

The sky was like vermillion on the scalp of newly wedded bride. She sat on the swing as she admired the sunset. She slowly lost herself in thoughts of the muscular man who she met some hours ago.

After took bath Draupadi had her meal, and went to sleep as tomorrow there is a special pooja in temple. Besides that, she also very tired after roamed in the big market.

The thoughts of handsome man she saw in market haunted her. She fell asleep as soon as she laid herself in the bed.
