'They complimented each other the way the lightning and its flash do.' Yudhisthira had just returned to royalty after some time in the forests, where he, his brothers and their mother were all hiding from their own relatives,a sad state of affairs. This had created a void in Yudhisthira, one healed by the fire born Princess of Panchala. Draupadi had never thought she would be the wife of the five Pandavas, despite feeling a common thread of ancient story between them and her. Despite having heard a lot about Yudhisthira, she had not completely understood the goodness embedded in him till after their marriage. Married due to the eternity of love and truth that exists between them, Yudhisthira and Draupadi learn each other through conversations and actions. Yudhisthira discovers the complementarity the daughter of Drupada had with him, and Draupadi discovered the beacon of truth that she believed in with him. Their bond had been forming much before the Svayamvara of Draupadi, where her hand was won, and she subsequently became the common wife of the five brothers. Kalyaani and Ajatashatru work together, first at Hastinapura, then at Indraprastha, as Sachi and Indra did, ruling with love and dedication, through ups and downs. This book is their story from right before marriage, and how they wade through the political and personal bombs that kept getting dropped in their joint life, their love a stronghold that gave them the ability to deal with everything thrown their way.

"Chinta mat karo na maa" "Arey bas neend puri nahi huyi hai" "Main hoon na?" "Tum mere saath ho toh main toh khush hoon" . . . . "I love you Devika..." A teary smile, the façade crashes, and he falls in her arms... ❤️‍🩹💔🥺

" Yadi aapki patni aapse kuch mange , toh aap denge Aarya? Mana toh nahi karenge na?" Her sweet melodious voice made his heart flutter like a young, naive teenager, not the calm man who had gained absolute control on his emotions. There was an almost awkward silence for a moment in the room that had been so beautifully decorated for their wedding night, before he spoke. It seemed he had nearly lost his voice, for it took far too much effort to speak up. " Mana toh nahi karunga, kintu de bhi kya sakta hoon...swayam ko praapt hui bhiksha ke atirikt..." His lashes were lowered, & he looked so sad that her heart clenched. He looked on in mild surprise when she lifted his hand where it was resting in his lap. She held his large, masculine, work-worn calloused palms in her soft, delicate ones. He nearly stopped breathing when her rosebud lips pressing sweet kisses against the skin in the centre of his open palm. Blood rushed to his cheeks, causing them to turn a rare shade of crimson much like hers.No woman had touched him like this before. " Uski koi avashyakta nahi hai, Aarya. Mere liye toh aapke hriday mein ek chota sa sthaan aur apna samast jeevan aapke saath bitaane ka avsar hi pariyapt hai." She told at him with a smile which sent his heart thundering , while she lost herself in the depth of those pools of molten copper.
