"Come don't lose hope you still have precious things on your side. You still have the chance to win. You can't discontinue the game. That won't be good for a Chakravathi like you." Shakuni smirked.

"What precious things does he have?"

"Sister of Vasudeva Krishna, wife of the great warrior Arjuna and your dear sister, Dhaksha," he finished.
"No, I can't allow that to happen," I shouted.
"You don't have the right to talk, you slave. Don't make your brother do adharma." Shakuni shouted back.

With tears streaming down his face, Yudhistran said, "I place the bet on Dhaksha, my sister."

"I can't do anything but pray to god.

"Dhaksha is our slave now. Vasudeva Krishna's loving sister, Gandivathari Arjuna's Wife. She's my slave now," Duruyodhana laughed.
"It's okay. She's not Dharmaraj's wife. She is his brother's wife. Why would he worry about that?" Shakuni replied.

"I place the bet on my wife, Draupadi, Chakravathini, the esteemed daughter of King Drupada." he lost all his will.
"Yudhistran Na, stop what you are doing," Bheem shouted.
"Bhaiya, don't," Nakula screamed.
"Look, how Pandavas are reacting when they put their wife, Draupadi at stake. But not with Dhaksha."
"Oh, my Lord."

(After playing for long)

Duruyodhana laughed
"Both of your precious women are mine now," Duruyodhana laughed.
"Duruyodhana, hold your tongue," Bheem Na shouted.
"Shout all you want, Bheema. What can you do other than that?" Duruyan laughed.
"They are all my slave, right? I can do anything I want with them, right?" he added.
"Yes, my dear," he smirked.

"The one whom I was supposed to win over at the Swayavara, the sweet princess of Dwaraka, wife of Arjuna." he described.

"Maybe Karna can help Dhaksha. But where is he?"

"Dushana, go bring my beautiful slave blindfolded and her hands tied," he commanded. "Let everyone see how I and Dhaksha play hide and seek".
"Pitamah, This is adharma. How are you letting this happen in this courtroom? Guru Drona?"
"Calm down, My Arjuna. They can't say anything. Because you and your wife are my slaves now. Even my father can't stop me." he laughed.

Pitamah bent his head down and started to cry.

"She is the Kolavathu of our family. Why are you being silent, Pitamah?" Bheem Na started to cry.

"Dhushasana, off you go." Duruyodhana laughed.

Dhaksha's pov

I walked towards the end of the room and was about to exit the chamber. That's when the soldier came running towards me.

"Rajkumari Dhaksha, they've called you to the courtroom," he said
"What? Me?" I exclaimed.
"I'm coming with you too." Draupadi came running
"No don't you dare to step out of this room. I'm going alone. You should be careful, okay?"
"Be careful Dhaksha. I can't afford to lose you, my Sakhi," she replied.
"Trust me. Nothing would happen to me." I smiled at her.
"What happened? Why did they-"

Suddenly, someone covered my mouth and began tying my hands with rope and my eyes with a piece of cloth.

"How dare you? You rejected my brother, Duruyodhana and insulted our father in Rajasuya yogam." I heard Dhushasana's voice.

"What do you want, Dhushasana? Stop it."

"Are you happy that you married Arjuna? Did you think you would live a happy life?" he pushed me to the fireplace.

I screamed in pain as my head hit it.
"So this is what Vasudeva said: history would change."

"I felt the pain of my loveable in an instant. That's when I know that the time has come to reveal the purpose of her birth."

I heard a girl screaming that sounded like Dhaksha's voice. My heart started to grow weak, my body started to shiver.

"Leave me. No one has the right to touch me other than my Aarya," I shouted.
Dushasana shoved me against the stair railing. I cried out as my stomach hit the holder, the pain undeniable.

"At least Draupadi was saved."

"I let my sister scream in pain. I had to bear this for a while. Her suffering won't go in vain. Don't you worry, my sister."

"I heard from Mamshree that you were good at sword and fight. Show me your skills in the courtroom." he dragged me with my hair.

"Hare Krishna, hare Krishna. Krishna Krishna hare hare." I prayed.

"Even though she is hurt. She's still holding on to me, calling out for me. But fate has tied my hands and blocked me from helping her."

"You think your brother would save you? How dumb are you, Dhaksha?" he laughed at me.

He grabbed my hair and shoved me down the stairs. I hit my head, and I screamed out in pain.

"Imagine the pain Draupadi would've endured here. Imagine the pain the women have endured in this era. I can understand their pain and their suffering now. How these ruthless bastards tortured them."

"I'm sorry, Dhaksha. For the pain you are enduring. There is an answer." I heard my brother.

"It's okay, Bhaiya. I'm ready to endure it. I've led a very happy life in Kali-yuga, enjoying my life. Never have I ever suffered or done anything for my society."

"In front of my eyes, the woman who  I love the woman who I respect, the woman who I protected fell on the ground screaming in pain."

"Duruyodhana, stop this right now," Bishmapitamah got up from his seat."
"I'm sorry. She is my slave. I have all the rights on her," Duruyodhana shouted.

"My Aarya should be here somewhere in the courtroom."

"Aarya, where are you? Arjuna." I shouted.
"Please leave my wife. I can't bear to watch her get hurt. She's the love of my life. Kill me instead, Duruyodhana." I heard Aarya begging.

"Stop begging to that bastard. He's nothing but a ruthless and the dumbest man I've ever met."

"My dear, beautiful Dhaksha. Your hands are tied, and your eyes are blindfolded. Still, you've so much confidence." Duruyodhana whispered in my eyes.

"Don't come closer, you disgusting piece of shit," I shouted.

"My dear Dhaksha. Let me tell you something that you don't know. Your King, your brother Yudhistran bet on you and-" Shakuni started.

"Yeah, you win the bet with your stupid Manipulative skills, Gandharaj. Aren't you ashamed of cheating? Don't call yourself smart and cunning," I finished.
"Surprisingly, she is really brave. She talked more than a slave should usually talk to their master.  She has to face the consequences." Shakuni said.

"Dhushasana, bring her to me," Duruyan shouted.

As he pulled me towards him.

"Please, Pitamah. Save my wife. Vasudeva Krishna trusted me with his sister and married her off to me. I'm not in a position to help. At least you can." Arjuna begged.

"Madhava forgive me. I can't protect your sister properly. Wherever you are, I know you can feel her pain. At least you can help her."

"Why are begging those men who are not even brave enough to stand against these evil beings," I shouted.

"This is what I admire the most about you, Dhaksha. You're brave, strong and confident.  " Duruyodhana leaned into my ears. "And very beautiful, " he whispered to me.

I kicked him forcefully with my legs and I distinctly heard him hit the ground and leave moans.

"How dare you, Slave." Duruyodhana slapped me so hard and I fell on the ground.

"It hurts, Bhaiya. It hurts, Krishna. I don't feel strong enough to handle this." My eyes began to well up with tears.
"Duruyodhana!!!" I heard Bheem na shouting.

"I lost all my will, I don't even feel myself anymore. The yellow saree, she wore the same day when I met her for the second time. She was blindfolded that day too. But she was really happy that day. She was excited to play with kids." 

" I can't bear to watch my sister like this. Permit me to crush him, Bhaiya. I would tear off the same hand he slapped our Dhaksha with." Bheem shouted.

"Stop wasting your time, Bheem." Duruyan laughed.

"I shall make your happiness disappear and make your life dark. This Vayuputra will crush you!!"

"Why are getting angry? She's not your wife, isn't she? Did you seduce your husband's brother?" Duruyodhana laughed.

"She'll soon seduce all of them and she will marry all five Pandavas just like Draupadi did," Dhushasana laughed.

"Dhushana!!!!!! Start counting your days. Cause you are not going to live long, your death is soon," Arjuna Aarya shouted.

"I was at the stage that I lost all my will and confidence."

"You are going to stab me with your knife? Who's going to save you now?" I heard Shakuni whispering in my ears.
"Come, come, Dhaksha. Make this Duruyodhana happy," he laughed.

"Please, Duruyodhana, this has gone too far. I cannot bear to see the Raja Sabha of Hastinapur becoming tainted in this way. My heart aches for that poor girl. I urge you to let her go," Pitamah pleaded to Dhirtirastra.
