Chapter 13

"Aryaputra Arjun..." Draupadi said but Arjun turned away and left.


Is he upset with me? She thought.


She stood there perflexed. He was upset with her. He ignored her.


She sighed.


.


"Rajkumar Nakul, have you seen Aryaputra Arjun?" Draupadi asked Nakul.


"Yes, Bhabhishree." Nakul said, "I saw him walking towards the lake side, loves to go there."


"Outside the palace?"


"No,the one behind it." Nakul said.


"Okay, thank you, Dever ji." She smiled.


"Welcome." He smiled.


.


The sun was setting and it was almost dark, Arjun stood at the river side, throwing pebbles.


She walked slowly, her skin shining, the sky was reddish because it was sunset.


"Aryaputra Arjun." She called out softly.


He turned, "Yes." He replied.


"Are you upset with me?" She asked innocently.


He starred at her, not saying anything. He walked and sat on the swing and signalled her to sit beside him. It was a beautiful sight. Arjun loved to come here.


She walked and sat beside him.


"Aryaputra Arju--" he kept his finger on her lips.


"Don't say anything, just close your eyas and try to feel the beauty of the moment." He said, softly.


She nodded and closed her eyes. There was chipping of the bird going back to their places, it was calm, she found solace there... A smile lingered on her face.


"You liked it?" He asked.


She opened her lotus eyes and looked at him, "Yeah."


Arjun smiled and looked at the sun which was now dawned.


"What were you asking?" He asked.


"Are you upset with me?"


"Maybe. Maybe not." He answered.


"Hmm?" She was confused.


"You're confused?" She nodded.


"So am I." He said.


"I didn't understand." She said


"Panchali, I don't know what... I don't know what it is. You know sometimes I wish I could figure it out. Everything is happening so early... Draupadi, I.. I really adore you, I really do. I don't know how to express it. I'm sorry for everything and nothing. I don't regret anything because if I have you, I don't want anything else.. I don't. But there comes the hurdle, I don't know what you want or you are. You... I wanna know you, I wanna... I wanna be a perfect husband for you but before that I wanna be your friend, whom you can tell everything. Draupadi, you don't know what I feel when you're around, I feel nervous. I feel butterflies in stomach. I can't describe my feelings and I know sometimes intentionally or unintentionally I hurt you with my words. I wanna stand by you when no one will. I wanna know you to your depth, your sorrows and your delightness. I want to again have a swordplay with you, a more friendly one, I want to embrace you in my arms when you have a nightmare. I... I just wanna.. I just wanna.. say that... I'm not... I'm bad for you if you think I am and if there's something you don't like about me... I will change myself, only for you but you need to be open to me... You know..." He went silent, he couldn't find words, Draupadi looked at him intently and he looked down thinking what a disappointment he is.


But this heart jumped when she hugged him, he was astonished but he hugged her back.


"It's okay, I just need time and I.. there's nothing I want to change about you. The first brick of a successful relationship is to accept one another as they are..." She said softly as they pulled away and looked at each other.


"Fine just try to say to me... Anything that bothers you."


"I haven't had anyone before whom I can be open to... Like I met Radha just a few years ago.. since childhood.. I'm myself... Confined..." She said, looking down, he raised her face by her chin using his thumb and made her look at him.


"That was when you were alone... Now you have me..I'm Ready to share everything with you." He said.


She nodded.


"Shall we go in?" He asked.


"Sure." She smiled.


. . .


Soon Arjun's coronation ceremony was going to take place, so the guests had already started coming.


"Putri Draupadi, welcome, King Dhridrastha and Queen Gandhari." Said Kunti .


Draupadi welcomed them.


"This is Gandharaj Shakuni and his daughter, Princess Uruvi." Said Kunti .


Draupadi too welcomed them with a smiled but Uruvi passed disinterested looks towards her. Draupadi didn't mind it though.


After the all that, Draupadi was in Kitchen with Kunti .


"No, ma you don't need to do this I will." She smiled.


Arjun walked in, he was here to get Draupadi but she was busy and also his mother was there.


He waited until Kunti left.


"Hey!" She heard a cheerful voice. That made her smile even though she was too tired to, she looked up and found him standing at the door with his arms wrapped around his chest, he was looking at her dreamily and it made her blush.


He action to come but she nodded in no.


"I have work." She mouthed.


Pouting like a kid, he mouthed, "please."


"No" she replied.


He sighed and walked to her and stood behind her.


She turned, "Aryaputra Arjun? What are you doing here?"


"Can't I come and meet my... Beautiful wife?" He winked.


She blushed, "Umm... You can."


"So why asking questions?" He grinned.


"Well, I have work." She pursed her lips together.


"What work? Leave it! I have something better to do." He said.


"Sorry... I really am not free... I will come as soon as I finish it all"


"Promise?"


"Promise." She said.


"Don't forget, okay?"


"Yeah, okay...." She said to him, smilingly.


"I have to go on some survey with Nakul."


"I'll be waiting then, Be on time, anyways, I don't like to wait. I'll start my other chores without talking to you.." She said, grinning.


"Yeah, sure." He smiled and walked away.


. .


Arjun was walking to his and Draupadi's chamber when he met someone on the way.


"Hey, Prince." Said the girl.


"Hi, Princess Uruvi." Arjun said, being respectful.


"Where to?"


Arjun was perflexed at her question.


"Sorry but I don't see any reason to tell you." Arjun shrugged off.


"Oh, come on, Arjun." Uruvi walking to him, "Are you going to your wife?"


Arjun closed his eyes in frustration, be was being late.


"I'll go wherever I like, why are you so much interested?" He said.


"That wherever can be with me or not?" Uruvi said, smirking.


"Are you mentally retarded?" Arjun said, "Sorry if I offended but you seriously need medications I think."


"Arjun! How dare you say such words to me?"


"Sorry for the offence but please leave my way." He said.


"How dare you say that to me!" She snarled at him, "I'll complain to my father!"


She stormed out of there.


Arjun was so confused with her actions.


She is really a psych??? He thought and resumed his way.
