"WHAT HAPPENED KUMAR SHAHADEV?"DRAUPADI ASKED. "NOTHING.."HE REPLIED RESTING HIS ON HER SHOULDER WITH HIS EYES CLOSED. "DIDN'T UNDERSTAND?"DRAUPADI ASKED REFFERING ABOUT THE EXPLANATION SHE HAD EXPLAINED TO HIM IN THE EVENING. "I UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING."SHAHADEV SAID. "THEN HOW COME MY DEAR FRIEND CAME TO VISIT ME AT THIS TIME."SHE ASKED. "WELL YOUR DEAR KUMAR SHAHADEV WAS LOCKED OUT OF THE ROOM."SHAHADEV SAID. "WHY IS THAT SO?"SHE ASKED. "THEY ARE ALL ALREADY IN DEEP SLEEP AND I WAS OUTSIDE IN THE BALCONY TO GET SOME FRESH AIR."HE REPLIED. "SHOULD I SAY SOMEBODY TO ARRANGE A ROOM FOR YOU?"SHE ASKED. "NO"HE SAID AS HE SAT ON THE COUCH PULLING DRAUPADI WITH HIM RESULTING HER TO SIT ON HIS LAP. "I WILL SLEEP HERE."HE SAID. "OKAY GO AHEAD AND SLEEP I WILL BE SLEEPING ALITTLE LATE."DRAUPADI REPLIED. "WHY SO?"HE ASKED. "JUST I'M NOT SLEEPY."SHE REPLIED. "WHY DO YOU ADD KUMAR INFRONT OF MY NAME?"SHAHADEV ASKED. "BECAUSE YOU ARE A RAJKUMAR AND YOU ARE OLDER THAN ME SO THERE IS NO WAY I CAN CALL YOU BY YOUR NAME."DRAUPADI REPLIED RESTING HER HEAD ON HIS SHOULDER ADMIRING HIS FEATURES. "WHY? WHAT DO YOU WANTB ME TO CALL YOU?"SHE ASKED. "ARYA.."HE WHISPERED BUT DRAUPADI DIDN'T HEAR IT CLEARLY. "COULD YOU REPEAT?"SHE ASKED. "NOTHING YOU SHOULD HAVE LISTENED PROPERLY."SHAHADEV SAID. "COME ON JUST ONCE MORE."SHE WHINED MAKING SHAHADEV CHUCKLE. "NOPE I WILL LET YOU KNOW IN THE FUTURE."SHAHADEV SAID MAKING HER WHINE EVEN MORE. "IT LATE LETS GO TO SLEEP."SHAHADEV SAID. "I DON'T WANT TO."SHE REPLIED. SHAHADEV COULD SEE THE EXACT SAME FEAR OF SLEEPING LIKE KARN SAID. "COME ON PRINCESS LITEN TO YOUR PRINCE AND SLEEP."HE SAID. "YOU CAN IF YOU WANT TO SLEEP."DRAUPADI SAID. "I DON'T WANT TO."SHAHADEV SAID. "THEN WHY ARE YOU SAYING ME TO SLEEP?"DRAUPADI ASKED. "NOTHING JUST."SHAHADEV SAID. "SOMETIMES I REALLY CAN'T UNDERSTAND YOU."DRAUPADI SAID CHILDISHLY EARNING A CHUCKLE FROM SHAHADEV. THEY WERE JUST TALKING AND LAUGHING. "I REALLY DIDN'T THINK YOU WOULD REALLY GO AHEAD AND ASK FOR REVATI BHABHI'S HAND FOR DAU."SHAHADEV SAID. "OFCOURSE I JUST COULDN'T LET REST OF MY COUSINS DIE WITHOUT MARRYING."DRAUPADI REPLIED. "SO WHEN ARE YOU GONNA?"SHAHADEV ASKED. "ME? I STILL HAVE A LONG TIME TO GO MY OTHER COUSINS WHO ARE OLDER THAN ME ARE LEFT AS WELL.SO MAYBE AFTER THEM."SHE REPLIED. "AS YOU ARE THE ONLY CHILD OF YOUR PARENTS YOU CAN MARRY ANYTIME RIGHT CAUSE THIS FORMULA MOSTLY APPLIES TO SIBLING."SHAHADEV SAID. "I WILL MARRY AFTER YOU MARRY"DRAUPADI REPLIED."THEN GET READY TO MARRY"SHAHADEV SAID. "WAIT YOU HAVE ALREADY FOUND?"DRAUPADI ASKED. "I ALREADY HAVE."SHAHADEV SAID. "AND WHO IS THAT MAY I KNOW?"DRAUPADI ASKED. "SURE." SHAHADEV SAID. AS DRAUPADI WAS ABOUT TO ASK SOMETHIND SHAHADEV HOVERED OVER HER. SHE FELT LIKE HE WAS LOOKING THROUGH HER SOUL. SHE WAS TOTALLY LOST IN HIS LIGHT HAZEL EYES WHEREAS HE WAS LOST IN HER DARK HAZEL EYES. THEIR FACE GREW CLOSER. THEIR LIPS WERE JUST AN INCH APART. "MAY I?"SHAHADEV ASKED. "WHAT IF I SAY NO? WILL IT WORK?"DRAUPADI ASKED. "NO IT WON'T" SHAHADEV SAID AND PLACED HIS LEFT HAND ON HER CHEEK AND OTHER ON THE NAPE OF HER NECK AND KISSED HER. DRAUPADI PLACED HER RIGHT HAND ON HIS NAPE AND LEFT ON HIS BACK. THEIR LIPS WERE MOVING IN SYNC. IT WAS SOFT AND SMOOTH. FILLED WITH LOVE AND AFFECTION. THEY WERE TOO FOCUSED AND LOST IN EACHOTHER. SHAHADEV ASKING FOR PERMISSION AND DRAUPADI IMMEDIATELY GAVE THE PERMISSION. HIS TONGUE EXPLORING EACH AND EVERY PART AND CORNER. THEIR TONGUE TEASING EACH OTHER. SAVOURING EACH AND EVERY MOMENT. THEY FINALLY BROKE THE KISS. "THAT WAS MY ANSWER.."SHAHADEV REPLIED MAKING HER BLUSH REAL HARD AND BURY HER FACE ON HIS CHEST. "IF YOU WANT THEN WE CAN HAVE OUR HALDI TOMORROW ALONG WITH DAU."SHAHADEV SAID. "I NEED TO SAY YOU HAVE GOTTEN BOLD."DRAUPADI SAID. "JUST FOR YOU."SHAHADEV REPLIED. HE THEN CARRIED HER IN BRIDAL STYLE AND LAID HIMSELF DOWN BESIDES HER. SHAHADEV WRAPPED HER IN HIS ARMS LIKE SHE WOULD DISSAPEAR. "I LOVE YOU MORE THAN MY LIFE AND MORE THAN ANYTHING. I WILL ALWAYS TREASURE NO MATTER WHAT. YOU ARE, WERE AND ALWAYS WILL BE MY TOP PRIORITY. I LOVE YOU YOU ARE MINE AND ALWAYS WILL BE MINE FOREVER." SHAHADEV SAID MAKING HER EYES MOIST AND FORMING A SMILE. "REALLY?"DRAUPADI ASKED. "YES DON'T TRUST ME?"SHAHADEV ASKED. "MORE THAN MYSELF."SHE REPLIED. "LETS SLEEP LOVE."SHAHADEV SAID AND DRAUPADI QUICKLY FELL ASLEEP.
