The Kauravas and their companions burst into laughter as Duryodhan and Dushashan dragged and pushed the ladies on the ground. The Pandavas looked at them, hesitantly.

Sagarika looked at Arjun, he diverted his teared gaze. She then looked at Nakul and Sehdev they too diverted their gaze in helplessness. Sagarika and Draupadi looked at each other, they realized the Pandavas cannot save them now. The Pandavas lowered their gaze in shame.

Sagarika's payal fell down when she was being dragged and pushed by Duryodhan, Arjun caught it and cried holding it close. He promised her that he'll protect her and now he was crying helplessly.

Both Sagarika and Draupadi broke into tears but wiped them as they angrily stood up, if no one is going to speak for them they might as well do it themselves.

"Maharaj !! What kind of practice is being conducted at the royal Court of Hastinapoor !?!" Sagarika asked.

"Maharaj, we are daughter-in-laws of the Kuruvansh ! We are the prestige of the Kururashtra ! And we are being brought here like some animal ! WHY !!" Draupadi questioned.

"Pitamah, you're the most glorious one in the entire Aryavart, you're the son of Mata Ganga herself. How can you remain silent on seeing this kind of behavior conducted in front of your eyes !?!?" Sagarika asked. Pitamah broke into tears.

"Guru Dron, you're a father figure to me. Then why am I being treated like this ?" Draupadi asked.

"Maharaj your sons are conducting heinous acts and this is bringing you dishonor !! WHY DON'T YOU STOP THEM ?!?!" Sagarika said.

"A dasi has to carry out her master's orders." Dhritrashtra said.

"Dasi !?" Draupadi and Sagarika said at the same time.

"Dasi am I ?!? What makes me a Dasi !?!" Sagarika asked.

"Our questions has still not been answered by Arya Yuddhistir !! By losing himself in the game, he had lost all his rights on me !!" Draupadi said.

"And Panduputra Yuddhistir had no rights on me whatsoever, THEN HOW COULD HE STAKE ME !?!" Sagarika said.

"I question the entire court !! What kind of righteousness is this ?!?!" Draupadi asked.

"Why are you questioning the court ? Ask your husband ! Slave Yuddhistir answer them !" Duryodhan ordered.

"Answer us Arya !" Draupadi said.

"Tell me Jyesht what right did you had on me that you staked me ?!" Sagarika asked.

"Wife of younger brother is equivalent to a Daughter, I staked you from this right. Family members have a rights on each other." Yuddhistir said.

"No one stakes their daughter in gambling, Jyesht !!" Sagarika said as tears fell from her eyes.

"Arya Yuddhistir, wife is not a mere family member ! 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." Draupadi said.

"Mahamantri Vidur, your kingdom is ruled by justice. You tell me, does your kingdom give one's brothers the right on his property ?" Draupadi asked.

"If a man willingly gives them the right then yes." Vidur said crying.

"Its the society that gives a wife the right on her husband's property. The kingdom's law gives her that right. She receives those rights as soon as she's married ! So tell me Mahamantri, when Arya Yuddhistir staked his property then I too had a right on it !" Draupadi said.

"Dasi Draupadi ! When all of you came to Hastinapoor to play this game, had you bound your five husbands with any kind of restrictions ? No ? Then you had given your husbands all the right to lose all their property." Shakuni said.

"This means, since she didn't bind her husbands with any restrictions, it was her fault ? She trusted them, was that a crime ?" Sagarika asked.

"ANSWER HER ARYAPUTRO !!" Draupadi said.

"All of you have to answer all our questions in this court of unrighteousness. Arya Arjun you tell me, Had jyesht taken your permission before losing me in the game ? Did you gave him the permission ? Did you agree to make me a mere dasi from an esteemed Senapti-Bharya ?" Sagarika asked crying.

"Forgive me Sagarika, forgive me. I never go against Jyesht's orders and Jyest Bhrata had to give in to Duryodhan's orders. Forgive me." Arjun said joining his hands.q

"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 !?!?" Draupadi asked.

"What was our fault ? That we were brought here in this manner ? Everybody did think about being righteous in their own way but no one thought about our honor, our right and our emotions." Sagarika said.

"No they didn't because Pandavas are not men ! Why are you relying on such such righteousness Dasi Draupadi and Dasi Sagarika, which makes warriors incompetent ? Come and establish a relationship with me." Duryodhan said. The Pandavas glared at him angrily.

"It will give me happiness and you both will get security. Come Dasi Draupadi and Dasi Sagarika !!" Duryodhan said as he sat down.

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

"DURYODHAN !! I WILL GIVE YOU A DEATH, LOOKING AT WHICH THE WHOLE EARTH WILL TREMBLE !! I WILL BREAK YOUR THIGHS AND TAKE YOUR LIFE !! ITS MY OATH !!" Bheem yelled.

"AND I SHALL WASH SAGARIKA'S FEET WITH THAT BLOOD OF YOURS AND THEN PUT THESE ON HER ANKLES !!" Arjun roared showing her Payal to the court.
