"What are you doing?" Karn asked taken aback as he saw Meghna quickly entering his chamber and closing the door.
"We need to talk!" Meghna said.
"See I have to leave for Panchal within a few moments. We will talk when I return" Karn said.
"See Karn I only wanted to say that I want you to always stay happy. You are a wonderful person. I...I didnt want to do this to you...you can marry whoever you want. I wont create any obstructions in your life. You are free to marry whoever you want. Anyway I am married to someone else. This marriage doesn't mean anything! I married you for Radhama and we only have to pretend before her. Please dont lose any hope. You never have to consider me as your wife. I will leave Anga if you want" Meghna said in one breath. Was she making sense? She wanted to let Karn go. She shouldn't be so selfish with the person she loves.
Karn was in shock. What was she saying?! This marriage didnt mean anything to her?! Was she in love with her first husband?! Karn didmt know what to say. He was too frustrated.
Karn didnt speak a word and left the chamber. Meghna was confused.

"Why is he behaving like this? He should be happy that I wont create any problem for him! He cant marry Draupadi now! " Meghna said tears filling her eyes

"Why is he behaving like this? He should be happy that I wont create any problem for him! He cant marry Draupadi now! " Meghna said tears filling her eyes.
"You are an idiot!" Krishna spoke.
Meghna looked up confused by Krishna's words.
"Whta do you mean?" Meghna asked.
"You need to go after your husband Meghna! Dont you remember what bad happened in the swayamvar of Draupadi?" Krishna's voice boomed in the chamber.
Then did Meghna recall the incidents. The mahabharata! Karn was ridiculously insulted in the swayamvar of Draupadi. But will it be the same this time as well? Draupadi loved Karn and she would never insult him like earlier. But what if someone else does? Meghna couldn't see Karn in pain.
"I have to go after him!" Meghna decided and started her journey towards Panchal. She knew the maximum chances were nothing would happen in the swayamvar. But...but what if something does happen? She knows the future! And only she can stop it! She needed to stop Karn from getting insulted in the swayamvar.

"Why are we going to Panchal? Lets go to Anga! We need to seek forgiveness from our jyesth Bhrata! We have insulted him in the worst manner possible. We should focus on that rather than participating in a swayamvar!" Arjun spoke.
"This swayamvar has great importance. It is the swayamvar of Panchal princess
Draupadi " Krishna said.
Kunti nodded.
"This swayamvar will help you establish your position in the Aryavrat! You can claim your kingdom after one of you gets married. Duryodhan is not married yet so Drauapdi will be the eldest kulvadhu!" Krishna said.
The pandavas agreed reluctantly.
"Moreover your jyesth Bhrata will also be present there!" Krishna added surprising the pandavas. Kunti smiled knowingly. She already knew about it.
Suddenly all the brother was super excited to go to Panchal.  They had to meet their brother.

"Welcome! Welcome all the princes and king of the Aryavrat! Today is the swayamvar of my youngest daughter Yagyaseni Draupadi! Please welcome her!" Draupadi declared and entered the enchantingly beautiful princess. She was the most beautiful woman in the entire Aryavrat. All the princes looking at her coildnt look away. Their sights were glued to her beautiful face. She had something in her.
