SWEETHEART DRAUPADI (INNOCENCE OF THE FLAME)

"DUSHT"

AT THE WHOLE 1ST DAY OF CELEBRATION DRAUPADI WAS IGNORING THE PANDAVAS AND KAURAVAS EXCEPT FOR DURYODHAN. WHENEVER THEY TRY TO APPROACH HER, SHE USED TO MAKE HERSELF BUSY BY TALKING TO OTHER KINGS AND QUEENS OR CHATTING WITH DURYODHAN AT A CORNER. AFTER THE CELEBRATION WAS OVER THEY ALL PROCEEDED TOWARDS THEIR ROOM. BEFORE PROCEEDING TO THEIRS, THEY DECIDED TO MEET THEIR PARENTS AS THEY DIDN'T GET MUCH TIME TO SPEND WITH THEM IN THE FUNCTION. WHEN THEY REACHED THEIR PARENTS WERE BACK BACK FACING THEM. "MATA WE ARRIVED?"KARN SAID BUT GOT NO RESPONSE. "HERE COMES YOUR DUSHT PUTRO MAA" DRAUPADI SAID WITH HER EYES CLOSED. THEY NOTICED THAT SHE WAS SITTING ON THE FLOOR RECIEVING HER REGULAR NIGHT HEAD MASSAGE FROM KUNTI. "OH YOU EXPECT ME TO WELCOME YOU? YOU DUSHT, DIDN'T EVEN RECOGNIZED YOUR SAKHI, MY DEAR PUTRI WHOM YOU USED TO CALL APSARA, MY BUTTERFLY, DEAR, LOVE, ANGEL ETC. NOW YOU TOTALLY FORGOT HER?" KUNTI STATED. "BUT--"BHEEM WAS IMMEDIATELY CUT OFF BY HIS FATHER. "YES PUTO DIDN'T EXPECTED THIS FROM YOU. YOU GUYS DIDN'T EVEN GIVE HER A SMILE, NOT EVEN A SLIGHT SMILE? I AM GREATLY DISSAPOINTED BY YOU GUYS."PANDU SAID. "OKAY MAA IT IS ENOUGH YOUR HANDS MIGHT BE HURTING"DRAUPADI SAID TO KUNTI."NO PUTRI IT DOESN'T HURT PLUS WHY ARE YOU LEAVING SO EARLY TODAY?"KUNTI ASKED. "IS IT BECAUSE OF THESE DUSHT?"PANDU ASKED WHILE POINTING AT HIS SONS. "WE ARE YOUR SONS PITASHREE."THEY SAID. PANDU IGNORED THEM AND SAID "DEAR YOU CAN STAY AS LONG AS YOU WANT. IF YOU WANT THEN I CAN SEND THEM AWAY." THE PANDAVAS LOOKED AT THEIR FATHER IN DISBELIEF. "NO ITS OK PITASHREE I STILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH SOME INTERNAL AFFAIRS, SO ENJOY YOUR TIME, GOODNIGHT"DRAUPADI SAID AS SHE HUGGED KUNTI AND PADU AND PASSED RIGHT INFRONT OF THE PANDAVAS NOT EVEN SPEARING A GLANCE ON THEM.

"WELCOME BACK SONS"PANDU SAID. "PITASHREE I SEE YOU ARE HAVING MOOD SWINGS. CALLIING YOUR SONS DUSHT."YUDHISTIR SAID. "WELL THAT YOU ARE, YOU BROKE MY PUTRI'S HEART RIGHT KUNTI?"PANDU SAID. "YES ARYA I STRONGLY AGREE WITH YOU." KUNTI SAID. "ITS ALL YOUR FAULT BHRATA YUDHISTIR"ARJUN SAID."WHAT?-"YUDHISTIR WAS SOON CUT OFF BY REST OF THE PANDAVAS. "YES IF YOU HAD REPLIED TO HER WE WOULDN'T BE FACING THIS PROBLEM"BHEEM SAID."YES YOU KNOW HOW SENSITIVE MY BUTTERFLY IS"NAKUL ADDED. "AT LEAST YOU COULD HAVE GAVE HER A SMILE OR A SMALL NOD"SHAHADEV ADDED. "YES BROTHER VERY DISSAPOINTED BY YOU"KARN SAID. THE REST OF THE PANDAVAS WERE ATTACKING YUDHISTIR. "OKAY NOW STOP ATTACKING YOUSELF"KUNTI SAID. "YES BUT I DON'T THINK IT WAS YUDHI'S FAULT"PANDU SAID. "YES ONLY PITASHREE UNDERSTANDS ME"YUDHISTIR STATED. "YOU ALL WERE RED AS TOMATOES AND COULDN'T UTTER A SINGLE WORD"PANDU STATED. "YE-"YUDHISTIR AND REST OF THE PANDAVAS AGAIN WENT RED AS TOMATO. KUNTI AND PANDU LAUGHED AT THEIR REACTIONS. "OKAY NOW WON'T YOU GO TO YOUR SAKHI? SHE IS PROBABLY THINKING ABOUT YOU ALL" "BUT DIDN'T SHE SAY SHE HAS TO DEAL WITH SOME INTERNAL AFFAIRS?""OH THAT SHE WAS JUST SAYING SHE FINISHED IT ALL BY YESTERDAY AND STARTED PREPARING FOR "YOUR" ARRIVAL" KUNTI SAID. AFTER HEARING THIS THEY FELT BAD AND THEY RUSHED OUT OF THE ROOM TO SEARCH HER.
