Printha smiled as she looked up at Rajveer, her heart beating wildly in her chest, she really hoped that her parents and brothers would love him, she did, had been in love with him since forever. Since the first time she had seen him.

Rajveer's breath hitched as his eyes fell on Printha, the girl was the most beautiful, of course she was, after all she was the result of the union of world's most handsome man and world's most beautiful woman, she was the epitome of beauty and feminism and he was crazily in love with her but he didn't have enough courage to tell her the truth. Sure he was the son of great Vasudev Krishn but she was the daughter of mighty pandavas and yagseni Draupadi herself.  His gaze again followed her, like it always did, she was something he couldn't describe in words.

"Doesn't he own an angvastr?" Bheem grumbled as he watched his daughter looking at Rajveer, "I swear this guy comes bare chested purposely!" Arjun fumed as he gave the young man a stinky glare, "My little daughter is innocent, she doesn't need to see all his ugliness." Nakul grumbled, "You mean handsomeness?" Panchaali teased as she sat by her husbands under the tree, her husbands were all grumbling and complaining about Rajveer, who apparently according to them was trying to "seduce" their little daughter. She wanted to laugh,honestly with one look at them anyone could tell that the two were in madly love.

"Excuse me? The only men you should find handsome are us five." Yudhisthir stated as he looked at his wife, she rolled her eyes, "Really? What does she see in him?" Sahadev grumbled, "Maybe the fact that he is sweet, caring and loving." Panchaali stated as she laid her head on Bheem's shoulder as her hands ran through Arjun's and Yudhisthir's hairs who lay their heads in her lap as they laid down, glaring at poor Rajveer.

"Panchaali on whose side are you on? Ours or his?" Yudhisthir grumbled as he glared at his wife, who smiled down at him, "Arya, let the poor guy be, just because they love each other, you can't hate him." She rationalised, "What love? Printha is still a baby." Arjun said adamantly, "Exactly! My little daughter is still an innocent baby." Bheem added agreeing to his younger brother making her roll her eyes as she looked at him. "Really arya? She's a grown young lady, today or tomorrow we will have to think of her marriage." Stated Panchaali, the five gasped and looked at her like she had lost her mind, "Marriage? What marriage? And whose marriage? No daughter of mine is getting engaged till is eighty!" Nakul stated, "What eighty? She's not getting married ever!" Sahadev added.

"Especially not this half naked Yadav!" Arjun added adamantly, "that half naked yadav is Krishn's son." Draupadi deadpanned, "Doesn't count, still he is not marrying my daughter!" Bheem grumbled.

"Look at them! They look so cute together, a match made in heaven." Panchaali stated as she watched the too interact, awing at what a cute couple the two made as they looked at each other with so much love and affection.

"What cuteness? All I see is a half naked monkey trying to steal my daughter!" Nakul said fiercely, "What if my father had thought about you all in such a manner? And prevented my wedding with you all?" She questioned as she looked at them they glared at her, "I would have shot him and married you either way!"  Arjun shot back making her sigh at their over protectiveness, "Really aryas? You all need to let them be!" She said, before anyone could say anything she watched her sons move towards her.

"Pitashree what is that monkey doing with our Printhu?" Prativindh asked as he looked at his fathers, "let's do one thing, let's just kidnap him! " Suggested Sutsom, "Or better yet let's tie him up and throw him in a dark room where no one could find him!" Shatanik suggested, "How about if I disappear him from my magic?" Ghatotkach asked, "how about if I just order his kidnapping?" Abhimanyu asked, "How about I order his exile!" Shurtkirti suggested,  "better yet I can give him a medicine and erase his memory!" Shrutsen added with a wide smile, "FABULOUS IDEA!" The pandavas and her rest of the sons shouted, Panchaali's mouth hung open as she looked at them, "Have you all lost your mind?!" She nearly shouted as she stood up glaring at each one of them. "What?" They all asked like they were the most innocent beings out there, her glare just intensified as she looked at them.

"You can't do this!" She shouted, "Why can't he?" Bheem asked, she glared at him, "because I am saying so!" She shot back making the fathers and sons gulp, "I can't believe you men! Your over protectiveness and cavemen tendencies are increasing day by day!" She chastised, "We are just passionate and protective regarding the women of our family!"  Stated Yudhisthir. She wanted to scream, "I am not talking to anyone of you!" She exclaimed as she turned around, they all called her but she didn't listen as she marched out, angry at all.

The pandavas and their sons all looked at each other with worry and concern, now what should they do? How to make her forgive them?

Kunti, Hidimbi and Krishn laughed as they heard Panchaali vent about her husbands and their ways regarding their daughter, surprisingly she was angry at her sons too.

"Mata can I go to the temple with Rajveer?" Printha asked as she entered the room, "Sure dear go ahead. But take a couple of guards along." She said with a smile as she patted her daughter's head making her smile, she hugged her mother who hugged her back, "Thank you mata!" She said excitedly, Panchaali kissed her daughter's forehead, "Be a good a girl and return home before the sunsets." She stated making her daughter nod, "I will." She assured looking at her mata. "Where are you going Printhu?" Bheem asked as he entered in the room with his brothers and sons, "To the temple with Rajveer, I have given my permission." Panchaali said curtly as she glared at the men of her family, her brow raising as she looked at them, challenging them to go against her explicit permission that she had granted her daughter.

Printha looked quizzically between her parents and brothers, what was happening? They were behaving all so strange. Krishn bit back a laughter that wanted to break free through his lips, "Can I go Pitashree?" She asked as she looked at them, giving then their best adorable smile as she asked them innocently. The pandavas wanted to scream a no, but one look at their wife and they all forced a smile and nodded, she gave them each a hug making them sigh and kiss her forehead.

She smiled at her brothers who held their arms open for her and she gave them each a hug, as they kissed her forehead. Panchaali didn't know whether to laugh or cry, they were all behaving like she was going on a war and not to the nearby temple, plus Rajveer was there. The boy was a well known warrior with a great valour and a great reputation in the entire Aryavart. Panchaali knew that she could trust the boy with her precious daughter, and she hoped that one day her husbands and sons would understand this too, that Rajveer was the perfect man for their Printha but they were all too much lost in their over protective haze to protect Printha, from what she herself had no idea what?

Once Printha left the room Panchaali turned around and sat on the couch as she picked up one of the new odhnis and began her embroidery work on it, completely ignoring her husbands and her sons, who sighed and moved towards her. "Mata we are sorry." Prativindh began as all the brothers held their ears in between their fingers and thumbs as they lowered themselves down in the kneeling position, pouting. The pandavas mumbled their apology as they lowered themselves on the floor too,their hands holding their ears, she wanted to stay angry but all her anger melted away as she watched her husbands and her sons, she couldn't help the smile that spread on her face as she held her arms open to them, beckoning them each for a hug, the pandavas and their son sighed in relief as they got up, smiles lighting up their faces as they watched Panchaali, the woman who bound them all together with so much love and care, the woman who made this family possible, who made their story possible, who always loved them and gave them without condition, as a mother and wife, she always made sacrifices for not just one but all of them, she made this family possible. They moved towards her as all of them hugged her close to their chest, their blessing in disguise. .
