Next day,

"Wake up sleepyhead, you are going to marry today" Dharmini stirred around, not wanting to wake up.

"5 more minutes" She groaned.

"You are not going to school dumbo, it's your SHADI today" Kanha said, again.

"I married Yuvraj yesterday...." She spoke, trying to rub the sleep off her eyes, yawning.

"Draupadi is ready already" Kanha informed, pointing at the lehenga she was supposed to be wearing today.

"Whatever Kanha, I want food" Dharmini said, lazily.

"Wash yourself first and get ready.... I'll bring your food" Krishna rolled his eyes.

"Heyy heyy... don't roll your eyes. The whole multi-verse will go 'round and round'" She joked, walking around him, three times.

"Silly girl-" "Go and get ready, today is your wedding" Dharmini interjected, jumping in front of him.

"I know Kanha, I am going" She sighed, today was a big day for her.

'Shadi? Me? My? I am just a little kid, hey bhagwan kaha phasa diya' She scoffed, looking up at the ceiling.

'Jo bhi kehna hai, mu pe kaho' Krishna spoke inside her head, making her flinch. (You can directly talk to me, you know.)

Dharmini rolled her eyes.

After sometime,

"Drau?" Dharmini called.

"Yes, future shamragni?" Draupadi responded.

Dharmini looked around before, "Who? Me?" She questioned, pointing at herself.

"Yes?" Draupadi confirmed which in no way sounded like a confirmation, rather it sounded like a question.

"I am too clumsy, it's you" She shrugged like it was nothing.

They were currently walking towards the auspicious podium decorated with bunch of beautiful flowers.

Others were discussing with bhagwan Ved Vyas about their queries related to the not-so-normal marriage happening at that particular time period.

"Bhagwan, we can ask the brides about their choice" Yudhisthir suggested, which was the first statement the girls heard today.

"About?" Dhramini asked, loudly.

"About who is going to marry Yuvraj first" Kanha smiled.

"Obviously..... it's Draupadi" Dharmini immediately spoke.

"What?" Draupadi looked at her in awe.

"Yeah..." She said as if it was the most obvious thing in the whole world.

"You know that only Yuvraj's first wife has the right to become the Yuvrani, right?" Shikhandini asked, looking at her in awe.

"Yeah, so?"

"So?"

"Look, my sister has already done more than enough for others’ happiness so, it's her right to be the Yuvrani of Hastinapur and also the future shamragni" She said.

Draupadi looked at her with tears in her beautiful orbs.

"Besides, I am too lazy to be a queen..."Draupadi smacked her lightly giving her a -shut up already- look.

After a while,

Draupadi was marrying Nakul.

"Psst...Kanhaaaaa" Dharmini whispered tugging his cloth a little.

"What?" Kanha whispered back looking at her.

"Laddu" She said.

"Huh?"

"Ladduuuuuuuuu" She whisper yelled, annoyed.

Krishna sighed and handed her one.

"Can you not disturb me?" He said, sticking his tongue at the roof of his mouth and down again, producing a 'pop' sound.

"What am I supposed to do? It's so boring and I'm hungry" She sighed looking at him with a frown.

"Eat then"

"I promised Drau that I'll wait for her" She sighed.

"Then wait and watch"

"It's literally the fourth marriage of the day....actually wait, fifth including mine..."

Yudhisthir was silently sitting beside her, looking at her in awe.

He still didn't believe that the girl he was thinking about from past few months which he didn't even know why was now sitting beside him, married to none other than him.

'Why....why did you choose me out of all the people present there?'

He was meaning to ask this question to her from the very moment she put the garland around his neck. But most importantly there was another question that was hunting him day and night.

'The feeling I got that day. What was that? That particular feeling I couldn't understand . That feeling when I caught her. She was wearing a weird dress, who was she? And why did my heart race so fast...why?'
These were the questions that he needed to find answers of but how... who was he supposed to ask when he didn't even know what that familiar tug in his heart meant.

He opened his mouth to say something but his throat went dry.

"Dhar-I..I mean Yuvraj?" Dharmini called.

He just looked at her, not able to speak.

"Umm...Shall we?" She asked, pointing at the dinner hall, her stomach growling loudly. She turned around, grabbing her stomach.

"Shhh! Stay quiet, stupid" She whisper yelled looking down at her stomach.

Yudhisthir chuckled at her behavior.

"Umm let's go...." He said walking in front of her, stopping at his tracks to turn around and smile at her gesturing her to move forward.

"Dharmaa" Draupadi called making the young lady stop in her tracks and turn around.

"I am not feeling like eating anything, you go and have your food" Draupadi said.

Dharmini excused herself from Yudhisthir and came to Draupadi.

"I know Drau you are not happy about this but why being angry with food? Mata Parvati will slap you if you don't eat. Now come-on eat with me" She said, dragging her sister with herself.

"Umm excuse us Rajkumars" Dhramini excused herself and Draupadi and dragged her towards their room, ordering a servant to bring two plates of food for them in their chamber.

"I want to talk to you" Dharmini said getting serious.

"About?" Draupadi looked at her questioningly.

"I am getting nervous....can we just not go? I mean...how..ha...umm arr....how..."

"Clear"

"How am I supposed to share a room with a complete stranger? How will I live now? I....I am so nervous" Dharmini said walking around the room biting her fingers.

Draupadi stopped her from moving here and there, tightly holding her shoulders.

"Look.... it's all new for me too but stay calm and don't worry...we..."

"We should run away and never come back!" Dharmini cut her off.

"WHAT?!"

The girls turned around......

Yeah I am not dead.....
