Nevertheless it was none other than my dear sakhi Draupadi
Who was nervously biting her nails, twitching her lips all the while constantly gaping at Gopala as "If she wants an answer..." she should calm and poised like always
As she is the one who will get honoured by marrying this great warrior "her to be husband Angaraaj"
she was covered with sheer layer of sweat and frown
why this anxiousness ...
Oh why her rosy cheeks getting so pale perhaps it was "her Anticipation" that made her like this but 'little did I knew that I'll be proved very wrong in some moments'
she should be happy "perhaps flying with excitement she is going to be an Angarani after all wife of one of the foremost warriors of Bharatvarsha"
I should be the one who should be wailing loudly cause
"I'm the one who is losing my fate to her ... Losing my Angaraj to her."Don't be a sacrificial lamb Be brave enough supriyaa as a tigress once he wins this you will leave I will surely not attend her wedding ceremony " said my inner voice
Soon on the call of his name
"Angaraj Karna upastitha ho"
my lion entered the swaymvar hall & addressed all in his deep baritone
''Maharaja Drupad aur Rajkumar Drishtadyumna ko meri ore se sadar pranaam''
next moment he prayed to his originator in the sky perceiving the golden rays from him and blending them in his enigmatic persona making it more pure and divine
thenceforward he bowed down and folded his hands in front of the divine Dhanush he held it up in a moment like a "flutter of an eyelash" it was so instant my sakhi is indeed so lucky to have a suitor who is so AGILE AND RAPID AS A LION POUNCING ON HIS PREY She & I were getting more restless as each moment surpassed she frowned and looked hither thither puzzled in her own thoughts
At last her sakha asked her
"Are you alright sakhi or you got this nervousness ailment from rajkumari Priya" "what's the matter sakhi ??"
" Govind you can read minds can anybody keep anything from you" replied Panchaali
Hahaha i wanted to roar at this statement so vasudev can read minds ... intriguing huh Well then does he know the Wild fantasies!! running at the back of my mind how I want to kick Draupadi off this balcony and run away with this varamala to marry the handsome fellow beneath & kiss my dear Angaraaj...
"Yes I know everything Sakhi" said vasudev smilingly
Shiva shiv did he replied me
nope supriyaa You are out of your mind suddenly breaking the trail of my crazy thoughts
Draupadi replied
"You told me naa that if the bride doesn't want to... then.."
" Yes its ultimately your marriage your choice sakhi it's the most important moment of your life it is this moment that will decide not only your fate But the future of the whole Bharatvarsha and perhaps of princess Priya too"
Did he mentioned me or this craziness is getting over my nerves too
Whilst my lion had easily strung the Dhanush next he bent down and fixed his eyes at the reflection of the rotating fish's eye in the water his shoulder muscles tightened showing of his well sculptured chest which he had acquired by vigorous training of warfare then his arms gently stretched the arrow towards his target
"his eyes were locked at the eye of the fish"
" he stretched the string more towards the eye he was exactly perpendicular to his target exactly erect to the line of target's eye now he was so engrossed in it and so absorbed in it that it seemed to me that he only saw the EYE"
Everything else must have seem black to him and just when he was about to SHOOT the Arrow
Draupadi stood up what the hell is she doing oh my so much anticipation for marrying him that she cannot even wait to let him laksha bedha {win}
can't she put the varamala on his neck after he wins he isn't running away Uff!!
i can never understand Agnijyotsna why such impatience
Oh I cannot see this Mahadev
Help me stop panchali from marrying him Stop her ...
I Closed My Eyes and prayed
''Stop!!!" a voice echoed in the grand swaymvar hall
oh yes you heard me he sent mata Parvati
But there was a grave silence all over like doom and gloom spread all over
Did I Die ? out of shock
open your eyes said my inner voice only to find out that it was no Mata Gauri but The fiery princess who said Stop in rather a tone of a stern refusal
Stop She exclaimed he was disturbed , distressed like she has disturbed a sage doing his tapasya for moksha
His eyes were full of shock and dissatisfaction he stared with his intense eyes unto panchali's eyes searching for some answers.
"Why Devi???"
he questioned rather in agony and astonishment
"Because I Will Never Marry A Low Born like you I will never in your dreams marry you Suta putra" replied the prideful Drupad kumari
He looked upright at his originator Perhaps asking him what was his mistake why always why he had to face such refusals because he was the so called Suta who blazed and emitted fire out this noon perhaps consoling his worshipper's Agony.
