Hello Friends,

I'm New Here..and this is my first post ...Soo...Plz do tell me If I've Broken any Terms n Conditions of IF...Hope You'll Help me out😊😊

I've tried framing a story.based on the Most loved epic Mahabharat...Not much...Just a Fictious story ...andI dont mean to hurt anyone's sentiments...

Enjoy the read n Do Gimme ur feedback😊

Its been 9 years since Draupadi was born outta the Yagna ,as a charming young girl of 16;
Now the wife of The famous five,Pandavas...The Queen of Indraprasta.. ...

After offering her special pujas at the shiva temple,Draupadi returned to the palace...She was soo excited...It was her Birthday n she was eagerly waiting 4 the presents from her 5 hubbies...

The First one to greet her was Bheem...
"Happy B'Day, Dear..."said Bheem
Draupadi flashed a smile looking eagerly at him ...
Bheem Gotcha..."Tatadada...Here u Go...Drau...Homemade Almond ladoos ...made by Chef Bheem.."..Said Bheem,feeling Proud of himself
The smile on Drau's face weared off...
"Thanks" she said glumly...

Bheem who knew her very well,instantly understood that she wasnt happy about the present.
But couldnt do anything to make her happy rite now.
Draupadi started walking away and Bheem stared behind her Helplessly...

..She was expecting the best present from Bheem,but it turned out to be ladoos..
Mummbling to herself she started walking towards the chamber..

Just then Sahadev entered the room..
"Happy B'Day Panchali.."said Sahadev
...Draupadi forced out a smile to him..."Thanks, hubby"..
"What present did u get me..."...Sahadev was taken back..Actually he had completely forgotten about the gift part .

Promptly interpreting his Expressn, Draupadi, said,
"Dont tell me ,U got A box of Spl Jalebi's "..
Sahadev was a multi talented prince;An excellent swordsman ...Pretty good with the stars too...
But he wasnt good at handling Draupadi's temper..

"Gone...Sahadev...U .r in trouble.." he thought ..
"Mmm...I got U an interesting present.."..

Draupadi's eyes widened with excitement...
"Really!!!..What is it??"
"Well I Thought Ill Make a Special prediction on your,year ahead"said Sahadev..
"There he goes,again..."thought Draupadi ..

Sahadev started with his So Called Special predictn...
Draupadi tried her best to sit patiently, but soon it was getting monotonous...
"Well thnx 4 de prediction...Wonderful"..said Draupadi as she stormed outta the chamber..

"Two down...Three more to go" She said to herself
..

After loitering aimlessly for more than an hour in the Garden..
She heard the thudding sound of a galloping horse ...It was Nakul...
Nakul flashed a 1000 watt smile at his wife ...
Draupadi seemed comfortable now...Better than a moment ago..She looked at her hubby eagerly, 4 his surprise gift ..

"Happie B'Day dear...Hmm...Lets see if u cud guess my surprise gift"...
"Hmm..Dunno..But I guess, it must be a really special one"..She said...
"U r rite..."...Saying soo he disappeared outta sight...
Few minutes later he returned with a snowy white horse..A Pure white complexioned one .. A really adorable one was it..

"Here u go...Draupadi ...This is for u ..Brought it 0ff a merchant from Arabia...He said it is one of the rarest of the high breeds.."Said Nakul,giving back a huge grin...

Draupadi was happy ...But what wud a queen do with a horse.. Queens never went out for hunting or for War
"Thanks hubby...Thats really sweet of U"she said smiling back to him,so that he wudnt feel dejected...
Nakul departed and Draupadi started walking outta the garden

"This is the worst B'Day eva" she thought to herself..
"Maharaj Yudi n Prince Arjun havent given their presents yet .. "Said Drau ,as a measure to console herself..

Now Draupadi remembered her Sister,Subhadra;
A Cheerful girl was she and being in her company ,made drau feel beta;
So she started walking towards Subhadra's Chamber;

Arjun was on his way outta the Chamber...
"Panchali, where were U.??..I was looking 4 U all morning..."He said...
Draupadi cudnt reply...Speech seemed like a babble...
"I..." She muttered..

Arjun Cudnt Interpret the immense sorrow within the queen's heart..Soo he continued speaking"Happie B'Day Dear. " He said..

Draupadi made an unsuccessful attempt to speak..Words cudnt fight via her mouth now.
"Mmm..." seemed the best way to reply

"I gotta present for U.."..said Arjun
Draupadi dint reply..But looked at him with a disappointed Face;

"Subhadra suggested me to get U this present..She said Women luv clothing n Ornaments...So I thought Ill get U a beautiful Saree Decorated with Gem stones "

Draupadi was on the verge of breaking down..
"Get me Ornaments n Clothing...??? ...Thats the way he cud show his luv towards his queen...???"she thought..

Draupadi felt that the day wudnt get any worse than now...
She sat on a bench under the a tree..
All the Memories flooded in;
Rite from the Swayamvar ,then Kunti Asking her sons to share the alms...The Strange Wedding...
...'Queen of Indraprasth,Wife of the Famous Pandavas,

Yet here I sit ...All lonely...No one seems to have understood my heart..
..."She thought
A tear rolled down her cheek...

Just then--
"Draupadi "...Called out a warm voice...n Draupadi recognised the voice to be Yudistra's...
Yudistra came n stood b4 Draupadi ..

His Calm face n Innocent smile would soothen any Troubled heart..N Draupadi looked at him via her tear stained eyes..
"Happy B'Day my Queen..."he said
"Youve been the best wife one would ever have...An epitome of wisdom,Generosity, Feminity n Wit...Youve sacrified ur love for the unity of the Pandavas...guided Us Via hard times n Had been a gr8 minister to us ..Uve been the pride and strength of the Pandavas ..Just like a small Candle when lit up gives light to a dark room;Like the sun that embraces each lotus flower ;Like a Drop of honey that sweetens the entire cup, when dissolved in it..U ve given light ,love, care and have added sweetness to our lives...Uve been everything..Uve been Our Hope in r badtimes n a Blessing in our Good times...Oh Daughter of Fire,Thanks for being born on EARTH"..
.N these words worked like magic

Draupadi was already in tears b4 Yudi cud finish his speech...Bubbling with happiness...This is the best B'Day present eva ,She thought to herself...

Moral:
Be it Men or Women...Child or Adult...Love and Care are the two things that cud bind people n keep them strong via hardships that life would lead them Via
