Dushashan dragged and threw Sagarika at the centre of the hall, right in front of Pandavas. She looked at her husbands who lowered their gaze.

Dushashan stomped up to Sagarika but she moved towards the Pandavas. Arjun thought she was reaching out for hjm but she grabbed his Gandiv instead.

As Dushashan was about to grab her she hits him with the mighty bow making him fall backwards. She managed to stand up and lets go the bow.

"What is this nefarious behavior Maharaj !?" Sagarika asked.

"Watch your tone Dasi !" Duryodhan said.

"Sagarika, you refused to come to the court. This was the right way to bring you." Shakuni said.

"A woman whose feet have never seen the hard ground was dragged here like an animal. A woman whose body is untouched even by the winds is standing bruised. A woman whose body is unseen by the sun stands here in one cloth, just enough to cover her honour. And you call this the right act !?" Sagarika asked.

"This not our fault that your husbands lost you. They are responsible for your condition. Take your anger out on them." Duryodhan said.

Sagarika snapped her heads at Pandavas, who again lowered their gaze in shame.

"Aryaputra Yuddhistir ? How could stake me when you lost yourself first ?" Sagarika asked, betrayal evident in her voice.

"Husbands have rights on their wives, its the rule of Aryavart." Yuddhishtir said.

"Arya Yuddhistir, wife is not a property ! Wife is a better half ! On a man's death his family definitely feels sad, but it's only his wife who becomes a widow." Sagarika said.

Sagarika then looked at Bheem, who was looking at her with teared eyes.

"Aryaputra Bheem, you are the strongest one in the entire Bharatvarsh. Then how can you see your wife being dragged like this and still not pick up your weapons !?" Sagarika asked.

"It immensely boils my blood Sagarika, but our hands are tied. But if jyesht orders me to raise weapons then I will end the entire Kuruvansh today !" Bheem said.

Sagarika then moved to Arjun, who sobbed seeing her. Although the bruise were on her body, it was him who felt the pain and trauma behind those bruises.

"Aryaputra Arjun, out of all my husbands it is⁰ you that loves me the most. Don't you ?" Sagarika asked, Arjun held her hands in his as he cried.

"Yes I do." Arjun said.

"T-then how can you stay silent ?" Sagarika asked. A moment ago she had anger in her voice but now it was filled with the tone of betrayal.

"My hands are tied, forgive me. I failed you." Arjun sobbed resting his forehead on her hands.

"I didn't expect that, especially not from you." Sagarika said jerking her hands off.

Sagarika then looked at Nakul and Sehdev who lowered their gaze.

"Aryaputro, I spent some of my best time with you both. For the sake of those moments, won't you pick up your weapons ?" Sagarika asked.

Nakul and Sehdev didn't say anything just cried with lowered faces. Sagarika looked at all her husbands disappointedly.

"I divided myself so you all can stay united ! And this how you repay me !? Answer my question for this it will haunt you in every birth if you don't ! Answer me ! Don't stay quite." Sagarika said.

"Poor Sagarika, whatever has happened has been done according to righteousness only. Then why are you blabbering ?" Shakuni said.

"That means you were being righteous. Aryaputra Yuddhistir was not unrighteous either. Every person in this court has abided by righteousness. So does righteousness means dishonouring women !?!? Does righteousness give you men the right to exploit women !?!?" Sagarika asked.

The Kauravas laughed and scoffed, as the elders and Pandavas lowered their gaze.

"What was my fault ? That I was brought here in this manner ? Everybody did think about being righteous in their own way but no one thought about my honor, my right and my emotions. What do I make of this Panduputro !?" Sagarika asked.

"Why are you relying on such righteousness Dasi Sagarika, that makes warriors incompetent ? Come and establish a relationship with me. It will give me happiness and you will get security. Come Dasi Sagarika !!" Duryodhan said as he sat down. The Pandavas glared at him.

"Aao ! meri Jangha par baitho !" Duryodhan said patting his lap.

"DURYODHAN ! MAI TERI ISSI JANGHA KO TOD KE TERE PRAAN LUNGA ! YEH VACHAN HAI MERA !" Bheem roared.

"Shut up ! And you Dasi Sagarika ! Obey my orders !" Duryodhan said.

"I am not a dasi, because I don't accept it. Independence lies within oneself Duryodhan, its not a piece of clothing that can be snatched away !" Sagarika said.

"You are so arrogant Dasi that you won't obey your master's orders !! Independence cannot be snatched but clothes can certainly be." Duryodhan said.

"Dushashan, the way the Pandavas stripped our weapons at the court in Indraprasth, in front of entire Aryavart, in the same manner, in this court we shall strip the clothes of their wife !!" Duryodhan said.

"DURYODHAN !!! STAY IN YOUR LIMITS !!! THE WAY THIS COURT HAS IMMERSED IN DARKNESS SIMILARLY MAHARAJ DHRITRASHTRA WE WILL FILL YOUR LIFE WITH DARKNESS !!" Arjun roared.

"What kind of nefariousness is this, Duryodhan ?!" Yuddhistir asked.

"Jyesht just give us the order, let us resort to weapons." Nakul said.

"Duryodhan, I will annihilate every bit of this place !" Bheem said.

"Jyesht, either kill us all or give us the order to kill this Duryodhan !" Sehdev said.

"Duryodhan the court of Hastinapoor has never witnessed such misbehavior ! Think of the honor of Kuruvansh !" Bhism said.

"Maharaj Dhritrashtra ! Open the eyes of your heart !! Do not allow unrighteousness of this kind in your court !" Dron said.

"Yuvraj Duryodhan ! No such thing can happen in the court of Kurus !!" Vidur said.

"Duryodhan have you lost your mind !? Don't make such a mistake !" Ashwathama said.
