"I accept my fate Govind. I have committed several sins in these past years without intention of committing them. But that doesn't change the fact that I am a sinner."Karn said during his death.
"You are a noble man Radheye. I grant you a boon. You...
"He cant participate in this weaponry talent show. It's only for the royalty . For kshathriyas and brahmins!" Dronacharya said standing up from his position pointing towards Karn. Karn knew it! He had tried to stop Duryodhan amd Arjun from even giving the proposal of him joining the talent hunt. It was for princes and brahmin guys. He was a sutaputra. Moreover he knew Dronacharya too well and open minded was something that Dronacharya was not. He had earlier refuse to train him and now he was stopping him from showcasing his talent. He knew the result. Though he really wanted to participate it was not in his power anymore. Without further pleadings Karn left the sabha. Bheesm tried to persuade Dronacharya one last time for he knew Karn's talent of archery. And he respected Karn's talent more than the fact that he was a sutaputra.

The princes signalled Karn to stand in the sabha while they would find a solution but Karn was already too humiliated. He rode on his horse and started travelling towards the woods tears swelling up his eyes. This was his fate. How come one judge a persons solely based on their birth and not their capability was still a mystery to Karn. Why could educated men act so dumbly and snatch away the opportunity from showcasing one's talent?! He rode faster and faster when he noticed a river bank. He was thirsty. When he descended the horse to drink water he realised that it was the same place where he had rescued Amba . The same place where he had witnessed the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. The same woman who was the reason he had rejected all marriage proposals since that day. He couldn't confess that to anyone but she was a big reason behind him rejecting other women. He looked towards the hut trying to catch one glimpse of the exquisite beauty dwelling inside when he heard footsteps . He quickly hid behind the tree. Some one came out of that hut. The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Karn took off his angavastra and covered his face and head with it . He was unrecognizable with his face completely hidden by the cloth. Only his eyes were visible. He peeked from behind the tree and found Draupadi fetching water from the river. She was looking so beautiful and heavenly. Karn was feeling a little light after a hectic and horrible day. Her beautiful smile calmed him down. He looked at her as she immersed her hand in the water and played with it. She then suddenly got up all nervous and scared. Karn was a little taken aback as he felt that she had noticed her. She went closer go the river and observed the water carefully. "Who are you?" Draupadi shouted pointing at her own reflection . Karn was amused. Who could be under water. He was sure she was talking go her own reflection. Karn couldnt help but smile . She seemed so childish and innocent but he was a little surprised that she didnt know the concept of reflection. She was old enough to know that. Hardly had he known that she was born only a few days ago. "'Tell me who you are before I chop you into pieces for following me without consent!" Draupadi shouted.
