~ A Curse

                                    

                                          

"Are you happy?" Draupadi smiled at him as she snuggled in his embrace. He has his eyes stuck over her as for few days he had to live with her memory only so he wanted to absorb her into his eyes. She was aware of it and it was paining her too. 
"Arya! I won't go if you don't want me to__"
"You should go. Before being my wife you are his daughter." He told as he set her drape and the chudamani. 
"But if you would be sad like this then how would I go?" She said cupping his face with her hands. He closed his eyes at the pleasure and then kissed her forehead. "I'm all good my love. Let's not do late everyone are waiting for you." He said unwillingly. 
Draupadi knowing, held his wrist and pulled him back. She wrapped her arms around his waist and kissed on his cheek. Her acts hitching his breathe as his touch lingering over her body. He held her waist tightly as she bite on his nape. The moment seized as she reached to his lips and kissed their. He poured his love as she smiled at his wild response. Their moment went for long untill both had separated in the need of air. 
He hid his face on her neck, giving light kisses. They both were enjoying their moment when some voices brought them back to the world. 
"We didn't see anything!" 
Yudhishthir heard his both younger brother and their wifes standing with their hands on the eyes. He groaned with irritation while draupadi felt her cheeks heating up and her face completely red. 
"These people won't let me spend some time with my own wife." He mumbled as she glared at him. 
"Jiji? Can we open our eyes now?" Subhadra and maithili asked making her more embarrassed. She immediately said yes as all of them started looking at the both with teasing smiles. With them four there was one more person who was standing with little uncomfortable smile and it was devika. 
She has immediately went some distance away seeing the couple having their private moment. 
"Can't you all knock the door? Have some manners before entering any couple's room." Yudhishthir scolded them but got stern eyes from his own wife. This made the brothers laugh at him. 
"Bhrata we had thought that atleast today you would be away from bhabhi but....." Arjun teased as shadev laughed. The women were giggling and teasing draupadi except devika, who wasn't able to decide if she should go or stay. 
"Maharani, Rajmaata asked you both to come outside and maharaj drupad was talking about leaving in some time." She broke the awkwardness. 
"Yeah, let's go." 
............. 
Soon the panchal family departed with his dear wife and son who were way too much excited. Prativindya for few time was crying furiously not wanting to leave his father and that had brought tears in his own eyes but dristhdyumn cheered him up and then his excitement has no boundary. 
Yudhishthir huffed being irritated suddenly with the empty chamber. He wanted to keep his mind into the work but her thoughts were distracting him a lot. It has been just two days and he wanted her back. She went and with her his peace also left. He couldn't manage with his own things, couldn't find his clothes, documents or anything other. 
"How lazy I am!" He thought finally concentrating on his work. 
"Putra!" He looked above to see his mother as a smile formed on his lips. 
"Maa? You are still awake?" He asked wrapping his work and coming to his mother. She sat on the ground while he laid down immediately keeping his head on her lap like the old days. He used to be the most pampered child of kunti. Both madri and kunti had overshadowed the other pandavas before him. 
"I can see you are getting impatient to meet draupadi. She has left just two days ago and here my son has gone all mad for his wife." She said which made him feel embarrassed as he hide his face in her lap. She laughed stroking his hair. It was always fun teasing him with draupadi's name.
