Karn was feeling terrible as he looked at the crying girl. Why was he behaving so rudely with her? Was it her fault that he had poured sindoor in her forehead?! Why the heck was he ill treating her? What would happen if she hated him? He was not feeling any less guilty for hiding the truth. Moreover he was filled with even more guilt for hurting an innocent girl. He had committed blunder after blunder in these past days.
Meghna cried her heart out holding on to Karn. She was feeling light. Karn's arms holding her shoulders like a protective shield. She wanted them to always protect her. But why? Why was Karn being so protective all of a sudden? Meghna had no idea but she was in no position to question him.
"You okay?" Karn asked as he saw the sobbing stop.
Meghna nodded her head.
"I am really sorry Meghna. Please forgive me. I had no intention of hurting you." Karn said and there was genuineness in his tone.
Meghna knew that Karn was at fault but her reaction was not completely Karn's fault. It was a reason of her dark past. She was not used to anyone touching her after that incident. After that incident Meghna was so sensitive that everyone including her friends and family did not interrupt in her personal space . They maintained their distance.
"I need some space Karn " Meghna cried and came out of his chamber.
Karn felt extremely helpless and guilty. What had he done! His action had affected Meghna really badly and he didn't know if she would accept his apology anymore.Meghna was strolling alone in the darkness. She could feel the eerie sounds of the night but they didnt scare her anymore. People are afraid of ghosts but for her humans were far more scary and the worst part about humans were that they surely existed.
She was walking without any hint of directions. She knew Karn had not touched her inappropriately but she was reminded of her horrible father. And she hated her father with all her heart."Where are you going Devi?" She heard an unknown voice.
She turned around to see a bunch of men following her. They looked drunk and their way of approaching towards her did not give Meghna any good vibes. She probably should return to the palace. She ignored them and started walking towards the palace but she could hear their footsteps following her. Fear crept into Meghna's mind. She shouldn't have come out of the palace this late and that too alone. She increased her pace of walking but the footsteps were heard nevertheless. The men were following her.
She tried to run but suddenly one man among the group came right in front of her guarding her way.
"What do you want?" Meghna shouted gathering all her courage.
"So you are the new girl emerged from the fire. You too are extremely beautiful like the panchal princess Draupadi." The man spoke.
"That's not the answer to my question. Why are you following me?" Meghna asked.
"You are the king's guest. How much do you think we will get for returning you back to the castle?" The man asked with an evil smirk in his face.
"You guys are planning to kidnap me ?" Meghna asked without any fear.
They seemed like street hooligans and she didnt need to be scared of them. They were no warriors!
"You seem very smart young lady" Another man in the group cried. He was going to hold Meghna's hand . Meghna was already ready to attack them with her karate moves. But before Meghna could attack she heard a noise and suddenly she saw an arrow approaching her. Ropes came out of the arrow and imprisoned the goons. Meghna was taken aback.
"Angraj Karn!" She shouted as she noticed the figure coming out of the darkness.
"Are you okay devi?" An unknown voice was heard.
A very handsome man came out of the darkness.
