Draupadi almost jumped into the royal bed , She hid her head in the pillow , cried and cried . Tears made it's way through her cheeks , Why ?? It was the only question raised , Why Arjun did this to her ???? Why he betrayed her ?? Nobody loves her , Nobody . Her husbands married twice and thrice after her , Rest of them are busy in pampering Subhadra , Who cares about her ?
I would have stayed in Panchal forever , With my sister and sister-in-laws , With my mother and father , My brothers were taking care of me more than their own life , I would have lived happily there . She muttered under her breath .
Why all of them brought me here ? To bear all these tortures . She cried
Draupadi laid on bed sideways , Closing her eyes . Doesn't matter , what will happen , I'll not forgive Arjun ,She repeated these words in her mind like a divine chant.
She suddenly felt someone pecking her cheek , Caressing her hair , She smiled sensing the touch
She took the hand which was placed under her head and kissed it , "Jiji" She whispered like a child
Finally , you got some time for your sister , isn't Empress ? Shikhandini taunted
Jiji , Why are you teasing me . Draupadi sat on the bed , Placing a pillow on her lap , pouting at her sister
Why are you this much cute ? Shikhandini pulled her cheeks .
I'm not a child Jiji , She pouted again
Ha ! Oh my god , Listen respected grown up adult , Only because you gave birth to four children , it doesn't mean that you became a woman , For me , you are still a child , who walked holding my palm . She pinched her cheeks .
At least you are caring about me . Draupadi sighed
What you mean by that ?? Shikhandini became confused
Draupadi just bowed her head down . Shikhandini caressed her face
What happened dear ? I know something has happened , Or else you would have not be here , I saw you crying , Did Vasudev or Arjun tell you anything??? Tell me if they did , I'll not spare them both , Tell me . Shikhandini said , Draupadi's eyes became misty
Jiji , Why you send me here , With my husbands , You could have made me stay in Panchal know . Draupadi said with foggy orbs
Shikhandini became distressed seeing her sister's tears , May be because of that her eyes were also bleeding , In the form of tears .
Come , Hug Jiji . Shikhandini forwarded her arms and invited her .
Draupadi rushed towards her arms , Hid herself in her sister's embrace , kept her head on her chest . Shikhandini hugged her tight , planted a kiss on her hairs
You are not only my sister , You are my daughter also , For every elder sister , Her younger sister is her daughter and you made me a mother without labor , You made me experience what is motherhood , I can understand you , Something is bothering you . Shikhandini said
I failed Jiji, As a wife . She sobbed
Shikhandini understood what she meant .
Did Subhadra say anything to you , Did Arjun say anything to you ? She asked in a angry voice
Draupadi nodded no .
Then why are you disappointed . She asked , caressing her face
Draupadi just shook her head sideways and bowed her head cutely making Shikhandini chuckle
What my baby wants ? Shikhandini kissed her palm
I just wanted to place my head on your chest and sleep , like we did in our old days , draupadi replied .
