After welcoming ceremonies of bride and groom, draupadi entered in her room at night. She saw her bed is decorated with fresh rose petal with utmost care, it triggered her mind.

"What rubbish!!!" She muttered and ruined the decorations with angry tears. Nakul saw all these, he understood that draupadi didn't accept him yet. She fell on bed and starts crying. Her cries pierced the soft heart of nakul. He entered in room and slightly touched draupadi's hand with respect.

Draupadi took her hand away and wiped her tears.
"You are not allowed to touch me!" She said. Nakul lowerd his eyes.

"I know panchali, I can understand your situation, our marriage took place in those circumstances that we didn't get even a chance to know each other." Nakul uttered slowly.

"Don't worry panchali, I won't force myself on you. I will treat you with respect..." before he could say anything else draupadi stops him by showing her hand.

"Stop calling me panchali first of all, only my nearest ones cam call me panchali, better if you call me draupadi and!!" She said.

"And!!! And your sweet talks cannot affect me!! I know your intentions very well!!" Draupadi said controlling her anger.

"Dr...draupadi?"
"I know the reason of your approval for this wedding!!! You..you just need a daasi to obey your orders and you didn't want a wife, you want a slave!! You think that I will obey your orders like a maidservant? No, never!! Because if you forgot so let me recall that I am a fire born princess, and fire can never be binded!" Draupadi said fisting her hands.

"Listen to me.."

"Why? Why you agreed for this marriage? Without even knowing each other?? I know your intentions!! Actually YOU JUST NEED  A WIFE TO PACIFY YOUR LUST!!!" She shouted out of frustration and anger. These words of draupadi hit nakul's heart like arrows, some tears rolled down through his eyes, he didn't know draupadi will think him as a lustful man.

"No, you are understanding wrong..." nakul steps towards draupadi. She stepped aside and showed her finger indicating no. He stops at the place.

"These... I.. I'm your wife but in the point of view of this world, you're nothing to me!! I hate you!!" She shouted, she took of all her jewelleries except mangalsootra and chaudamani and threw it in the corner of the luxurious room and left.

Nakul sat on bed with a jerk, he took long breathes, he knew how to handle these situations. He was already ready for this conditions. After an hour draupadi entered I  room, her anger was washed out in the form of tears but not the hate.

"Um, you can sleep on bed, I will sleep on ground." Nakul said taking pillows. "No need! You can sleep on bed, but don't forget to maintain distance." Draupadi glared him rudely.

Draupadi lies on the edge of left side and nakul on edge of right side. The center part of bed was empty. They were facing opposite sides.
...
Next day,
In kitchen,
"Putri, today is your 1st day in indraprastha, you are now the kulvadhu. So as per rituals, you have to prepare food, and I want you to cook something unique." Kunti said softly caressing her cheeck. She was harsh towards nakul but not others. She softly smiled and nodded.

Draupadi invented panipuri (golgappas). Everyone were impressed.

"Draupadi, there is other ritual too, in this your husband aka Kumar nakul will make you wear a ring." Devika said putting her hand on draupadi's arms. Draupadi frowned seeing nakul.

They both stood again facing each other. Kunti brought the precious ring. Nakul slowly make her wear the ring in her ring finger. She frowned feelings his touch.

"You know that you can never take off this ring." Devika said to draupadi.

"Whatever.." She muttered. "Huh?"

"What a miracle, I said." Draupadi smiled fakely. Devika chuckled.

"Not Miracle, but power of love." She said and left.

"Power of love? Kurukumar has nothing for me known as love, just lust, nothing else." She fisted and left for her room.

"This... I want to free my finger from this!!" She said pulling the ring. It was like that ring struck in her finger, she tried hundred times to take off this ring but ring didn't even moved from it's place, but blood start oozing out from her finger, as she was too harsh. Nakul was passing by and saw draupadi's blood drenched finger and ran towards her.

"Hey narayan! What you have done?" Nakul said holding her hand. She frees her hand from his grip.

"You don't need to worry for me." Draupadi said.

"OH God, draupadi please." He brings medicine Immediately.

"Let me do this treatment." Draupadi was about to say something, nakul grabbed her hand and puts medicine in her finger with care and tied a cloth around it.

"Don't even try to open it!" He said and left. Draupadi angrily looked at her finger, she was about to open it but something stopped her. She sighed and a tear slipped from her cheeks.
