Chapter 32: THE QUEST FOR ANSWERS


    This chapter is after Draupadi meets arjun and knows his real identity.


    DRAUPADI''S POV


    I''m on my way to lord mahadev''s temple again, remebering thest night conversation between me and


    Govind. "sakhi so did you find all the answers to your questions?" said Govind, I looked at him and


    said, "I don''t know govind, like I feel I still have unsolved doubts, why do you ask Govind?" he smiles


    and says, "then you should go to mahadev''s temple again who knows he might give you more answers


    for your unsolved questions" I looked and him and said, "you and your riddles, but if you are telling me


    to go then I will go" let''s see which questions are answered tomorrow. I came out of my thoughts when


    a dasi told me we have reached I nodded and got down.


    NO ONE''S POV


    Aadhya was in the temple doing puja, when a dasi came and called her so she can empty the temple


    for princess draupadi, but aadhya was so into the puja she didn''t hear a single voice, she was about to


    tap Aadhya''s shoulder when Draupadi said, "wait, don''t distrub someone doing their prayers, I can wait


    for a moment, let this sadhviplete her puja, and remeber if someone is doing puja never distrub


    theme and tell me, I will wait in the palkhi" the dasi looked down and said, "okay rajkumari, as you


    wish"


    Draupadi was about to go and sit in the palkhi when she hears "sakhi?" she turns and sees it''s Aadhya,


    she smiles and says, "hello sakhi, I just came here for Puja", to which Aadhya replies "oh,  then why


    are you going back?"  Draupadi smiles and says,  " it''s nothing, wait for me here let me finish my Puja


    then let''s talk" Aadhya nodded a yes in response and waited for her.


    Draupadi after doing her Puja said to mahadev "hey mahadev, thank you for answering my question,


    Govind says that you will answer my unsolved questions today, I''m hoping to find the answers to the


    unsolved questions I have so they give me reassurance that I''m doing the right thing, after finishing her


    Puja Draupadi went towards Aadhya and they sat alone, Aadhya asked, "so ready for your swayumvar


    it''s tomorrow right?" hearing this Draupadi looked down and said, "To be honest I don''t know, I have


    these Insecurities amd questions", Aadhya nodded and said "well doesn''t every girl feels insecure


    about this, but tell me all your insecurities and questions I might be able to help you" Draupadi nodded


    and said, "will the person who wins the swayumvar be able win my heart?" Aadhya smiles and


    answers, "Well all I would say is rtionship is like a tree, like tree needs water, sun and your love, a


    rtionship needs paicence, time and love the more you give the more sweet it turns out", hearing this


    Draupadi smiles satisfied with the answer.


    Draupdi asked, "my next question is what is the meaning of true love?" hearing this Aadhya smiled


    remembering her bhabhi Hidimba and said, "For me love goes beyond everything, it is the only thing


    which gives us everything and doesn''t ask anything in return, one always wants their loved ones to be


    happy with them or not, the most selfless thing in this world is love. Love has no bound, no insecurities,


    no pressure, no nothing because both know no matter what and where they are they belong to each


    other.  Look at mahadev and mata parvati, they chose each other even after facing so many difficulties,


    because that''s the jorney of love, even though the road is tough and with many stops or traps, they will


    keep walking with a smile on their face because they know at the end of their destination their love is


    standing there.


    Hearing this answer Draupadi thinks of Arjun, who she saw yesterday and gets lost in it, seeing her lost


    gaze Aadhya teases, "did you think of someone just now sakhi?  After hearing my answer? do you


    have someone in your heart already?"ing out of her thoughts Draupadi got shy and says, "I was


    just thinking about your wonderful exnation, I''m sure the way you described love,  you love someone


    right?" hearing this Aadhya thinks of Avyukt and without realizing gives a bitter smile saying, "no sakhi,


    I just feel that this is how love would be" Draupadi smiled and nodded.


    Draupadi then asks, "What if the person who win the swayamvar is not a right fit ? What if hemit


    an adharma? What should I do because as a wife do I have to stand by him?," thinking for sometime


    Aadhya answered, "well I don''t think a person who wins your swyumvar will not be a right fit for you, I


    think this should be left for the future as dharma is a wide concept which changes time to time but if he


    does adharma you have the right to stop him and correct his wrongs and teach him the right way after


    all it''s for his betterment plus I have this feeling that the person who wins it will be a great person"


    hearing this answer Draupadi felt assured and said, "sakhi with your answers all my insecurities are


    going away and I feel so much better now, though I still have one more question" aadhya smiled an


    said "go ahead".


    Draupadi asks, "what is the true meaning of joy sakhi?, Is love the true joy?" Aadhya giggles a little and


    says, "well joy is found in many things it''s not only limited to love, don''t you find joy when you do things


    you love, or when you eat your favorite dish or talk to your favorite person, and Joy is what you feel, joy


    isn''t found by thinking of it, so if you feel joy with him then isn''t it love?".


    Hearing all the answers I felt all my worries wash away and it was reced with a sense of relief and

    satisfaction, and I said, "Madri you have made all my worries away, you know my Sakha Govind is so


    opposite to you,  he always gives me answers in riddles, and you exin everything in detail" hearing


    this name Aadhya freezed for a second thinking about his way to answers and giggles, making


    Draupadi asks "why are you giggling sakhi?" and she says, "well Krishna is known to answer in a


    different way, so your problem is valid" she was about to say something but someone called Aadhya


    "Madri" she turned around and looked, it was Arjun,  he continued "here you are, mata was worried


    about you since you took so long" then he looks at Draupadi, I said, "okay Bharata I will being you


    go ahead let me wear my footwear" he nodded and went ahead,  she looked at Draupadi and said,


    "bye sakhi I have to go, I hope you get a wonderful life partner" she just nodded in daze leaving me


    confused but I went towards Bharata Arjun as he was waiting for me.


    ARJUN''S POV


    I went to the temple as mata was worried about Aadhya, God knows what she is doing there and why it


    is taking so long, reaching to the temple I first went to pray and after praying I saw Aadhya and


    Rajkumari Draupadi talking with each other thinking she might be in danger (of revealing her identity),


    thinking what to call her I thought it''s better to call her by the name of mata madri as she knows this


    name and will recognize my voice.


    When Aadhya came I asked her, "why were you talking to Rajkumari Draupadi?" she looked at me and


    smiled saying, "I dropped this slingshot so she was returning it to me" I nodded hearing her answer and


    we went to the potter''s house.


    DRAUPADI''S POV


    We heard someone call madri turing I saw Rajkumar Arjun making me lost in his gaze, but then I


    realized that madri is sister of Rajkumar Arjun which makes her Rajkumari Aadhya, I was in my


    thoughts that I didn''t even reply to Aadhya.


    THE DAY OF SWAYUMVAR


    (Mata Kunti and pandavas are in naimisharanya)


    NO ONE''S POV


    All pandavas were just sitting together and talking when mata kunti said, "putro go get some food it''s


    time to eat" they all nodded and Aadhya said, "let''s go!!!, Bharata Nakul let''s go, stop admiring urself in


    every chance u get and do some work" making everyone giggle as he was looking at this reflection in a


    big bowl of water, Nakul looked at Aadhya and said, "oh Aadhya''s my lovely sister if you remember at


    the potters house we were the one''s who were doing work at the potters house you were enjoying your


    time at the pond you found" hearing this Aadhya said "bharata it''s not my fault if the potter didn''t ept


    my help, and if that''s what you think I will go get food for me and mata, you guys go get your own food,


    mata I will bring our food" she showed her tongue to Nakul and went in search for food.


    Yudhistir looked at Nakul and said, "Nakul you shouldn''t have said that, now God knows where she


    went", Nakul looked down as he didn''t expect things would turn into this and Sahadev patted his


    shoulder and said "it''s okay don''t feel bad, Aadhya can take care of herself anyways, plus I''m sure she


    didn''t feel bad and took this as a challenge and Jesth said this because he is concerned about her"


    Nakul nodded and they went in search for food.
