The Next Morning
Skand woke slowly, the early light filtering into the room. As his eyes opened, he glanced beside him—and in an instant, memories of the previous night flooded back. He couldn't help but blush.
Quietly, he got out of bed and stepped into the hallway, heading down to the lower floor. There, he found his mother and Draupadi busy with the morning chores.
For a brief moment, his eyes met Draupadi's.They both quickly looked away, cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
His mother watched the silent exchange with a knowing smile. She understood perfectly what was going on, and made light conversation to ease the awkwardness between the two.
Later that morning, Skand informed everyone that Emperor Ashoka had assigned him an important task in Kaling.However, he did not share the details of the mission with anyone.
By noon, a grand carriage from the royal palace arrived at the gates—sent personally by the Emperor to take him to Kaling.
Before Departure
Draupadi pulled Skand aside for a private conversation.
Draupadi (worried):"When you first told me you were going to Kaling, I wasn't afraid… but now, I can't help feeling uneasy."
Skand (reassuring):"Don't worry. I'm fine now, and I'll be fine when I return."
He started toward the carriage when Draupadi suddenly called out to him. Before he could react, she ran up, kissed him softly, and stepped back quickly.
Draupadi (turning back with a smile):"That's so you can feel my presence in Kaling—because I'll always be with you."
Skand blushed, hiding his smile, and climbed into the carriage.
As the horses started moving, his thoughts wandered."I'd better finish Emperor Ashoka's task quickly… because somewhere at home, my cute wife is waiting for me. I just hope there are no obstacles on this journey."
