Draupadi's pov

"I left this Indraprastha happily with my Sakhi.
I'm sorry that I have let the monsters prey on you. I'm sorry, Dhaksha."

Subhadra ran from inside after seeing us enter the hall.

"What happened to my sister? Did she lose consciousness? Tell me Ka?" she started to cry.
"Your sister tried to protect me and Dharma."

"Dhaksha? Akka, wake up. Maids take her to the room and call the doctors to take care of her." she ordered.

"The more I look at her, the more my heart feels heavy. Why would you do this? She protected me. It's all because of me."

I ran to my chamber and locked the doors

Arjuna's pov

"Aiyanae, What happened to Draupadi Ka and Dhaksha Ka? Dhaksha was unconscious and Draupadi Ka was all wounded." she started to cry
"Where is Dhaksha now?" I asked her.
"The physicians are treating her," Subhadra replied.
"Where is Panchali?" Yudhistran Na asked.

"She locked herself in her room. I kept knocking and calling her out. She's not responding," Subhadra replied.
"Come, let's all go," Bheem Na said.
We called out to her and shouted her name, yet she chose not to respond.

Bheem Na tried to break the door.

"I can even break a wood which is stronger than this but this door, I can't even break an inch," Bheem Na replied.
"I know who can open the door."
"Vasudeva Krishna," Yudhistran Na replied.

Soon he arrived.

"He was always smiling and happy. But this time his face was quite the opposite. I can feel the pain in his face."
"Greetings Madhava," I said.
"Where is my sister? What happened to her? What have you all done to my sister? I wanna see her," he shouted.
We all remained silent. I was ashamed to even look into his eyes.
"Bhaiya, she's been treated by the physicians," Subhadra replied.
"What happened to Panchali, Partha?" he asked.
"She came here by herself carrying Dhaksha, we couldn't stop her."
"We can't stop the fire of anger of a woman who has gone through all that. Even the Lord can't stop her."
"Draupadi locked herself into her room. We called her out and even tried to break the door but we can't open the door, Bhaiya, " Subhadra replied.

"We can't open the door closed with a woman's emotions, pain and struggle," he said and walked to her room.

We were all waiting outside for Madhava.

Draupadi's pov

I heard Madhava coming inside.
"Don't try to console me or help me Vasudeva. I have lost all my power and energy."

"Mythran is a man who would always listen and take part in his/her Mythra's happiness and sadness. I have come here as your Sakha. Tell me about your worries Panchaali."
"This world has made this Pavithra lady an impure lady and has avoided me," I said.
"A person washes himself in Ganga to get pure, but that doesn't mean that Ganga will become impure," he said.

I ran to Vasudeva,  fell on his foot and cried so hard.
"What should I do Govindha? Why would this happen to us? What did Dhaksha do?" I asked him.
"You're this country's Chakravathini and Dhaksha is my sister and the Kolavathu of your family. If you both are under this. Just think about the women in his kingdom. What will happen to them?" he said.

"If a person lives only caring about his things, his chance of success is less. But the one who lives caring about everyone in this world. That one always succeeds and the Lord's support is always with him".

"Don't think as revenge for your struggle, think about the whole woman society and start a war Panchali."
"So you are telling me to forgive those monsters who tortured Dhaksha and embarrassed me, disrobed me in front of all?"I asked.
"Forgive them Panchali, they will pay for what they did," he said. "Will you take my advice Sakhi?"
"Yes, I will start a war. In that, adharama shall be punished and Dharma shall win," I replied.

He took me outside to meet my husbands. I could see the guilt and pain in everyone's face.

"Panchali, I rolled this dice with this hand of mine. I bet on my brothers, Dhaksha and also on my wife. Bheem, come burn my hand," Yudhistran Aarya said.
"You don't have to burn your hands, Aarya. I forgive you."
"No, I have made a big mistake. If I live this, my life shall be hell. Come, Bheem, burn my hands," Yudhistran Aarya called him out.

I walked towards him and pulled his hand from the fire.
"You don't have to punish yourself, Darmaseelarae. When all the ones who did this to your wife and your Kolavathu are happy there. Why would you punish yourself? Start a war to punish them all," Vasudeva advised him

"Yes, we should start a war soon after the exile. I vowed that I would make Kauravas's life dark. I will kill all of them in my hand, Paanchali," Bheem Aarya shouted.
"This is the five stones from your Chudamani and this is Dhaksha's Chudamani you both don't have to wear this. You don't have to braid your hair. The unbraided hair shall remember us about those monsters who made you and Dhaksha like this," Arjuna Aarya shouted
"I will also vow that until my hair is washed by Dhushasana's blood and my Sakhi's body is bathed by Duruyodhana's blood,  I shall not braid my hair."

"Yes, Panchali. Your wish shall be fulfilled," Bheem Aarya shouted.
"Where is my Dhaksha? How is she?" Vasudeva asked in a weak tone.
"Docter has just finished treating her. She will soon wake up, bhaiya," Subhadra said.
"I have to see my sister," Vasudeva asked.

We all went inside her chambers to see her lying unconscious on the bed.

"She is the one who always lit our moods up. She teases me around. She makes us happy, Vasudeva. But that monsters made her like this," Bheem Aarya said
"I shall make her sacrifice for dharma meaningful, Madhava. I will crush them all," Arjun Aarya shouted.
"Wake up soon, my dhaksha," Vasudeva said.

Arjuna's pov

Seeing all her wounds boils my blood even more to kill them. Why would she face this? I let her suffer.
"I'm sorry, Dhaksha," I held her hands
"Let's all go out. Let them have their time."Vasudeva said.
"Will you ever forgive me, my Dhaksha?"
"You don't have to be sorry, Aarya."
