That very night, Shubhangini cried uncontrollably. If it weren't obvious, the sugar in an uncontrolled quantity had caused her stomach pain.

"She is not feeling good," Nakul said as he rubbed her tummy slowly.

Yudhishthir took her in his hands and held her by stomach, like relying her on her tummy pressing it.

"Bheem, Arjun, Nakul and Sahdev, you can go ahead with your penance. I shall take care of her." He said.

His brothers nodded, and left as instructed.

Yudhishthir rubbed her tummy every minute, causing her to burp softly.

He chuckled at her face as she flushed after burping loudly, he pressed his nose against her's successfully distracting her.

Shubhagini traced her baby finger on his beard, giggling at his pointy beard gave her a ticklish feeling. Yudhishthir chuckled looking at her smiling face.

After repeating her action thrice, she got bored and looked around the hut. A very shiny thing, that was hanging on the wall caught her attention.

The eldest Pandava saw and walked towards the shiny mirror on wall, she was so immersed in watching her own reflection, she barely moved.

She fancied the mirror that showed her the most gorgeous face, which she didn't knew was hers.

"This is Shubhagini." Yudhishthir said as he noticed her fascination.

"Me?" She asked, confused at his words. Yudhishthir merely nodded, being amused. His memory went back to the time when Draupadi was born first, Dhristidyumna had told them, how fascinated she was after her birth.

"Yes you." He booped her nose again, as she stared at her reflection.

She leaned at the mirror and presses her cheeks against her reflection, grinning wildly.

"Mirror Mirror on the Wall, who's the prettiest of them all?" Yudhishthir asked cutely, staring his wife.

"Yudhistill." Shubhagini said, still staring at her reflection, shocking Yudhishthir.

Did Shubhagini understand the words?
Even if she didn't, the pure coincidence was surprising.

Yudhishthir's name was long, and after many efforts of his brothers and himself, she hasn't said his name at all.

Bheem was Veem,
Arjun was Amun,
Nakul was Naku,
And Sahdev was Sadev.

But Yudhishthir? She was never able to speak, evven in her gibberish words.

Her answer and her saying his name, both surprised Yudhishthir to a new extent.

"Yudhistill." She started on a repeat mode. The word was exciting for her, after all it was bigger than all the words these five taught her.
For her, this word was a milestone and a proud thing.

Yudhishthir stared at her, he felt blessed for having her in his life, but he also felt that he did not deserve her love or her.

Shubhangini, as if feeling his thoughts, leaned against his chest and rested her head, still staring at the mirror. Yudhishthir was surprised beyond human possibility.

Spending some time with her, Yudhishthir was still in shock.

Just like how Draupadi used to lift his mood, here Shubhangini was doing same.
He almost forgot, that she is different person.

But he figured out a small difference.
Draupadi was his wife, a grown up adult. And Shubhangini, she was young, naive and did not know about any relations.

Draupadi was the best, and Shubhangini turned into the best version of the best.

"Yudhistill" She babbled bringing him out of his thoughts.
"Yes, your highness?" He asked, being amused at her ordering tone.

"Buu" She said, and Yudhishthir face palmed, of course she was thirsty. He bought a small spoon and started feeding her water, and being thirsty, she drank too fastly, faster than what was healthy.

"Slow down Kalyani," Yudhishthir said, unaware of his choice of words and patted her back.

"Kawani?" She was curious at the mention of a new name.

Yudhishthir's eyes widened, it seemed like his eyes could fall off the socket in a second.

One look in her eyes, and he felt it in a heartbeat, "how selfless you are Kalyani, even though your don't remember, you still wish for best of us." Hot tears sprang down his cheeks.

How did he get so lucky to have her as his wife, his friend, and the wisdom in his words. People will say that a woman is completed by her husband, but in their case, they were incomplete and she came along as the final piece.

She came in their life like a tornado, shifting everything from it's place, but she was also the cool breeze that comforted them.

"I promise, I won't let you down." He said kissing her forehead.
