Flipping the boring and uninteresting pages of the thick book kept in front of her , Draupadi kept on yawning as she read further .
She did not know how would she pass her time when she saw something and a idea popped into her head which would at least pass her time for sometime . Arguing with Arjun!
"What is this ? Look here Arya ! "She said to Arjun distracting him from what he was reading .
"What happened ? "
"In this page it is written that this philosopher was born in 230 BC and in the next page it is said that he was born in 459 BC . Which one is correct? "
"He was born in 230 BC . The first one is correct . "Arjun replied again looking back at his own book .
"No , no he was born in 459 BC ! "Draupadi said against him . She knew well that he was correct but this was her plan to argue with him and pass the never passing time .
"No ! Stupid! He was born in 230 BC . " he replied and they started to argue again.
They were so busy with arguing with each other that they did not notice someone coming near them .
"Bache log ! "A voice called out which startled both Arjun and Draupadi .
Mr Lokendra came and looked angrily at them and continued with his words ,
"Do u think that this is your home ? That u can fight and argue whenever u want ! Is this your house or what ? Ladki aur ladka ? What is this huh ?"
He continued scolding and Arjun and Draupadi sat silently hearing it . He finally finished and breathing hard blasted the last word
"Idiots! "
As soon as Lokendra disappeared form there Arjun and Draupadi started at each other and then suddenly burst out laughing .
"Your home ! Do u think this is your home !"Arjun said teasing Lokendra and laughing also .
Draupadi also could not stop laughing and continued to laugh remembering the words of that Lokendra.
...
Finally they finished laughing and were back on reading when they head Lokendra's voice again but this time scolding someone else . They looked back and found that Lokendra was scolding Subhadra this time who was busy discussing with her partner.
"A Ladki if u want to talk the I will give some money , buy some peanuts and go to the nearby park and talk how much u want . "He said meanly and continued scolding her .
Subhadra who had never got such scolding could not take it and went red and was very close to tears . But she controlled it and sat silently there .
Arjun who knew Subhadra very well also knew that what she was feeling. He cursed that teacher silently and thought of something to cheer her up.
...
As soon as Draupadi entered the washroom she heard some sobs . She looked around and found Subhadra sitting in a corner and wiping her tears . Draupadi felt very bad looking at her in this state , though Subhadra was total stranger to her , she felt as though someone very near to her was hurt . She felt as though Subhadra was her younger sister and it was her duty to make her up .
"What happened ? " asked Draupadi softly .
"That ...that " Subhadra could not reply .
"Are u crying because that stupid Loke sir scolded u ? " asked Draupadi this time in a surprised voice .
"No ... I mean yes ! "Replied Subhadra wiping her tears .
"I know it is stupid to cry over such small things but still ..."continued Subhadra feeling stupid herself.
"No it is not stupid Subhadra to cry . Do not think u r emotionally weak!" Draupadi said trying to calm her down .
The way Draupadi called Subhadra , she felt as though Draupadi was vey close to her and thus shared her sorrow with her.
"No crying is stupid and it really shows how big emotional loser I m!"Said Subhadra and to this Draupadi replied ,
"No crying does not mean that u r weak , from the time you were born it indicates that u are alive . Alive enough to live your life . "
"I never had got such a scolding from anyone . Not from my brothers , nor from my parents . "Subhadra replied and Draupadi pitied in her .
After sometime of consoling , finally Subhadra calmed down and as Draupadi was about to leave Subhadra wanted to say thank u but she did not know her name and thus ended up calling
"Jeeji !"
Draupadi was first surprised to hear those words . Subhadra apologised for that but then Draupadi said it was okay if she wanted to Drauapdi jeeji and Subhadra smiled to this .
...
Draupadi was busy reading her novel when her rang . A smile formed across her face as she saw the caller ID .
"Govind ! "Exclaimed Draupadi and before Krishna from the other end could reply she continued
"What is this Govind no phone call neither any messages ! Have u forgotten your Sakhi or what ? "
Krishna laughed and then replied
"Meri billi mujhe hi meow ! What is this Sakhi I thought that I would attack u with this dialogue but then u were the one who took the game in hands ! Very clever huh ! "
"Now I m the Sakhi of most naughtiest and clever man of this whole wide world and this is the effects of staying with him ! "She replied and joined in his laughter .
...
"How r u now ? "Asked Arjun to Subhadra on the other end of the phone.
"I m fine Parth . "Replied Subhadra back in her sweetest voice only the sound of her Parth made her feel the best .
"I know what u want to talk about but please let's do not talk about the morning incident please !"Subhadra said .
"Of course ! So what do u wanna talk about ? By the way u did not tell me about the dream of boy of yours ! What happened to him ? "Teased Arjun trying to cheer Subhadra up .
"Parth just stop it ! "Subhadra said as she also laughed along with him .
Subhadra smiled after the call ended about after 45 minutes later . She was so happy to have someone like Parth with her . He would make her smile even at the most critical time . After her brother Krishna he was only who could understand her so well . It was her Parth who had consoled her when her mother expired and like a true friend he was there always for her . She prayed to all the gods that their friendship would remain the same at any cost and wished that the friendship would turn into something else very soon .
...
"Hey so u r here in Delhi ! "Exclaimed Draupadi as she jumped into her bed in excitement .
"When did u come and why did not u meet me huh !"she continued to ask her questions .
"Calm down Draupadi ! Calm down ! "Said a girl from the other end.
"U r saying me to calm down ! Hidamba first of all u come here to my place and do not call me or meet me and spend your time with some business man and then fall in love with him and now u tell me that ? What happened ? Where are all those best friends vows huh ? U dated someone with out telling your best friend ?! And now u love him and I do not even know his name ! Wait I m gonna tell this to Chitra and we r not gonna talk to u !"complained to her nest friend Hidamba also known as Amba.
"Okay please do not be angry Drau ! I will explain everything to u . Just listen to me okay ? "Said Hidamba knowing Draupadi's anger very well .
"Nope u would not explain me anything and I would not listen as I m going to cut the phone ! "Said Draupadi and she did it leaving Hidamba's sentence unfinished .
Enough was enough ! Thought Draupadi as she sat angrily reading her novel and thinking of ideas to punish her bestie.
