Chapter 63

                                    

                                          
The room was filled with a tense silence as the letters lay scattered on the ground, the air was thick with  tension as they looked at the letters that their wife had written them years ago. There was so much tension in the air that one could cut it with the knife, tears were filled in the red eyes while their jaws were set, their breathing was rapid as the bonfire of fury was now converted into the wild fire, turning everything on its wake as nothing but ash. "MAYA!"Bheem shouted, no longer able to hold back the lava of fury that was burning him from within, Panchaali's hand maid came rushing in, her head bowed as she trembled, the pandavas looked like death gods themselves, she didn't dare raise her head or say anything, "GO and get Panchaali in this room right this instant!" His words were laced with fury, that he was barely holding back, the maid rushed out. 
                          
"Why didn't she ever say anything?!" Nakul growled as he looked at another letter, agony and fury were warring in his chest, "I don't the hell know but I freaking want to know too!" Shouted Bheem as he paced the room, "She didn't want us to hate him." Yudhisthir's voice was deadly calm, his eyes were blank as his face had no emotions as he sat on the rocking chair his eyes shut, as he rocked back and forth. "Well kudos to her than because now I just don't hate him, I despise his very existence, I want to see him dead, I want to see him beg." Arjun growled as he glared looking out of the window, his back facing his brothers. "His time on the this planet has come to an end." Sahadev whispered, fury and hate lacing his words as he sat on the ground, his back pressed into the bed as he rested his head back, his eyes shut. 
                          
Panchaali sat in her room with her three kids, playing with them, "Maharani Maharaj has asked you to be present in his room." Maya whisper, the tinge of fear in her words didn't go unseen by Panchaali who looked up at her, she nodded as she stood up and left the room, trusting maya with her kids, worry pooled in her stomach, what could have happened? Why did they ask her to be there? Did arya Yudhisthir wanted to say something? Maybe he wants to talk about something important or for the way she behaved today morning? Who knows? She shrugged as she walked towards his room. Her payals creating a sweet sound, her heart sunk as she neared the room, her nervousness skyrocketing. She knocked the door as she entered in, her eyes were lowered on the floor,  she could feel the eyes on her but she didn't dare look up, her eyes focused on the floor like it was the most fascinating thing in the world. 
                          
She moved in hesitation clear in her each step, her heart hammered crazily in her chest as she trembled, no one spoke, the silence was unnerving her as she shifted on her feet uncomfortably,  whats the matter? Why was she suddenly feeling so scared? She felt a hand wrap around her wrist as she was pulled in Nakul's lap, her were still lowered as she could feel that his body was taut and the heaviness in the atmosphere was not missed either. "If someday you realise that I and my brothers have been hiding a very big part of us from you, how would you feel Draupadi." The name Draupadi had her heart hammering wildly, they never called her that until they were angry with her, she gulped as sweat began to trace down her forehead, "Arya?" she asked confused as he put his finger under her chin and made her look up at him, his face was expressionless, his eyes hard with fury, she gulped. "How long have we been married?" Arjun's voice rang in the room, a sound resounded throughout the room as Sahadev shut the door, locking it from inside, her heart galloped in her chest painfully as he looked at her, she could sense their fury, but what were they so much angry about?  
                          
"Almost 2 years." She whispered as she looked at him, his fingers gripped her chin, her eyes clashed with his, "What are we to you?" He questioned, his voice low,  "My husbands." She whispered, her heart hammering wilder, "Have you ever kept a secret from us?" Bheem questioned, his voice was flat as he moved in next to her. Panchaali's heart froze as her heart galloped in her chest, "Arya." she whispered, "Yes or No." Sahadev bit out the words making her eyes stung with tears, "Answer me!" He shouted making her jump, tears fell down her cheeks as she looked up at him. "Arya." She chocked on a sob and the four glared at her, their hearts were breaking but being soft with her was taking them no where, she had kept such a big secret from them and that was unacceptable.
