Draupadi stared at the eyes of her husband, the mightiest man on earth. Their relation had always been like friendship, he would do anythng to make her smile.Be it smashing a pillar wrn rejected kings move to attack her or sending ladoos wen she is sad, he was ready to undertake any challenge,evn if it made him look comical.
The point frm where their relationship started changing was the game of dice. She could see helplessness in the eyes of all her husbands but bheems eyes had something way beyond that...it was rage. Hot burning red rage, depeciting the depth of his love for her. From then on he became her avenger, who dint shy away frm fulfilling the extreme promises made to his wife... be it dusshasan jayadrath or keechak...he dint hesitate in shwing them their place.
She wondered sometimes if she ws being unreasonable in asking dusshasans blood. Ws she becoming too cruel?? But when bheem got the blood fr her n poured in on her hair, draupadi felt truely purified. The memories of her being dragged down diappeared. She felt as if she were reborn.For cleansing the world is mahamaya mahakaali had to drink rakhtabeej's blood,evn she had to do it, for she was also an ansh of the great mother. And when finally he washed her hair with water again, she knew it was worth it...
Bheem kept looking at her all this while. The stillness n clamness on her face was what he craved to see for years. And then she got up n turned towards him. She looked at him as she never did over the years.
She dint say anythng but her eyes said what he wanted to listen. As he blew away the lamps, she came closer to him. He dint care if he was breaking the vow. Something inside him tld him that this was his year or rather, his night
He held her by her tiny waist n brought her closer. The gap between them dint exist anymore. He brought his lips closer to her ears but din say anythng for words could not explain his feelings.
As panchali felt bheems warmth filled touch on the bare skin on her waist, the rest of the world became a mere blur for her,and this was her feeling till sunrise...
When yudhisthirs message woke her up in the arms of bheem, the days battle ws to commence n bheem was needed. Reluctantly he got down from the bed n they shared a long eyecontact like they did back in hastinapur, wen he ws going to be a prisoner. what happens nw ws immeterial for them as of nw, the night that passed was the thing that matter fr them. But then he remembered that some sons of dhritrastra still lived n he left her to go to the war. Yagyaseni watched her savior go eith tears in her eyes...
Bheem was battling to compose himself before the actual battle began...his feeling were as following
Tujh sang bair lagaya aisa...rahana main fir apne jaisa
Mera naam ishq, tera naam ishq
Mera naam ishq , tera naam ishq
Yeh laal ishq yeh malaal ishq
Yeh aib ishq yeh bair ishq
(Song: laal ishq from ram leela)
