The next day was Draupadi's swayamvar, pandavas had come there without informing Kunti that they were attending the swayamvar...many king and princes from lands near and far away had come to the little 15 year old princess' swayamvar as they heard that there was no one on Earth to beat her beauty.

Grand welcome was given to everyone...the people of Panchal were celebrating the occasion as their princess, panchal's darling was soon getting married, the place was filled with people dancing and singing etc..when they announced that Maharaj Drupad was on his way to the place...then came Vasudev Krishna with his beloved wives

As he finished, the main door opened, the smell of yojanagandha flowers spread over the big hall, Draupadi stood there with her as usual mesmerizing beauty, she was in a baby pink coloured dress with a golden veil and maximum jewels..

All the princes and kings were spell bound by her beauty, they looked at her without blinking their eyes, she took her seat and was quiet embarrassed and uncomfortable due to the lustful gazes on her but still she managed to compose herself

As everyone's eyes was on her, her eyes searched for someone else, it was none other than her loves of life the pandavas, her eyes restlessly searched for the five when suddenly her eyes fell on them who stood with the other Brahmans, like the previous day the pandavas were again lost in her beauty and kept looking at her like the others in the room but their eyes showed pure love unlike others... Her lips moved to a great extent after seeing them...

She kept seeing them, as they also kept seeing her. All the 6 love birds felt peace rush through their bodies seeing each other, "ahem ahem" coughed Krishna bringing her out of her dream world, she started blushing hardly her cheeks turned tomato red..

The competition started, all the princes and kings participated only to get defeated and embarrassed, even great warriors Jarasandh, Rukmi, Jayathrath, etc.. returned defeated and disappointed, Duryodhan on the other side who desperately wanted Draupadi in his arms after seeing her ravishing beauty, tries to win her through the help of Karn but wasn't allowed, Karn was then rejected by Draupadi for trying to do a misdeed to her by helping his friend...

This bravery of Draupadi made the pandavas fall in love with her even more...

As all the Kshatriyas were defeated, a disappointed Maharaj Drupad, welcomes the Brahmans for the contest which made the pandavas grin widely..... Arjun steps forward talking the blessing of his 2 elder brothers, as though they loved Draupadi, but still didn't want to stop Arjun because of their brotherly love

Arjun wins the contest...the other 4 brothers were happy for him, but disappointed for losing their love..

Yudhisthira's POV
What is it this Draupadi, who swept me of my feet, going to be Arjun's wife ?? How will I be able to accept her as my sister in law ?? I sighed as I know I won't have her, but I will never forget her she is my first love and as a brother I will guide her.
