"Oh god...this is so messed up Meghna...I cant believe you thought I was jiju's lover...I mean I met him for the first time in the swayamvar. Are you sure he is not in love with you?" Draupadi asked.
"He always stays angry with me. He is always pissed off. You really feel I am the girl he loves! No Drau...he is in love with someone else and I have ruined his chances of leaving a happy life with her!" Meghna said frustrated.
"Okay but now he is your husband! You cant just abandon him! I will not let you...if he is not in love with you then you have to make him fall in love with you!!! I will be your love expert!!! Karn is your husband now and you will woo him!" Draupadi said too excited to help her friend.
Meghna knew this couldnt be the solution but her heart seemed to like the idea. The idea gave her a hope. A hope that someday maybe Karn too will love her. Meghna reluctantly agreed.
"So you're in love with Meghna and she is in love with someone else. It's really complicated bhrata" Arjun said his head reeling with confusion.
"That's the point anuj. Moreover I font know from where she thinks that I am in love with someone else. Like how? It's always been her! But this marriage doesnt mean anything to her. " Karn said disappointment reflecting in his face.
"But Bhrata I am really confused. The way she stood up for you in the swayamvar says a completely different story. I know what we should do!!!" Arjun said suddenly excited.
"What?!" Karn cried taken aback by his brother's sudden excitement.
"You should give her some space. Give her some time Bhrata. Ignore her a little. Women fall for men who have a personality . Be a little quiet and dont give her so kuch attention." Arjun said proudly. This seemed like the greatest idea of all time to him.
"See the difference!!! Draupadi is just a few months old and Arjun is atleast twenty years older than her. But the difference in their maturity! " Parvati said.
Mahadev and krishna had no words. They were astonished by Arjun's advice.
"I dont know what to say. He has completely blown my mind mahadev! He doesnt know a single thing about girls! And Karn is listening to him! These idiots. " Krishna said blankly.
"Indra look at your son. You are such a pro when it comes to women and your son! Shameful" mahadev mocked and the others started laughing.
"Mahadev this Parth is ruining my name. Idiot!" Indra muttered and the entire swarglok started laughing.
DURING LUNCH TIME
"So your objective now is to give you some time with Karn. You should talk to him and understand his emotions. Support him and spend some quality time with him!" Draupadi whispered to Meghna as they entered the dining hall.
"So your objective is to stay in character. Dont give Meghna too much attention. You need to ignore her! Women like it when men dont chase them" Arjun whispered to Karn.
"Today's lunch will be fun to watch. Four people. Two different opinions. And we in the middle. This is exciting!" Krishna whispered to Radha and Rukmini.
Radha and Rukmini laughed heartily.
Everyone arrived in the dining hall.
"Bhrata Karn...here sit beside Meghna." Draupadi said leaving an empty chair beside Meghna.
Karn smiled and was going to sit on the chair when Arjun intervened.
"Bhrata stay in the character!" Arjun hissed angrily.
"No Bhrata sit with me today" Arjum said and pulled Karn away.
"Yes let's go anuj" Karn said remembering their plan.
Meghna and Draupadi were too confused.
Draupadi was more angry than confused. Arjun was ruining their plan.
She looked at Arjun angrily but Arjun was too busy planning their next move.
Meghna however was busy observing Karn. He looked so handsome. Karn too was lost in Meghna's beauty. Meanwhile Arjun amd Draupadi viewd each other with suspicion. Draupadi had tried to sabotage Arjun's plan. AND Arjun had destroyed Draupadi's plan.
They were staring at each other but with a strange competition in their eyes. Meanwhile Krishna couldn't control his laugh anymore. Four of them looked so cute. The others looked at Krishna weirdly.
"Bhrata Karn have some more kheer...Meghna has prepared it!!!" Draupadi said smiling widely offering the kheer to Karn.
"Yes putra have some kheer...oh that reminds me Radha jiji I was thinking that Meghna and Draupadi can perform their pehli rasoi ritual today in the evening and we will get the privilege of tasting their food at night." Kunti said to Radhama.
The women were getting along really well. Kunti was so glad that Karn was lucky enough to have Radhama.
"Here Bhrata have some kheer." Draupadi was going to pour some kheer in Karn's plate when Arjum stopped her.
"No!!! I mean bhrata...bhrata is full now. Bhrata say something !" Arjun said the last part quietly.
Karn nodded immediately.
"Yes yes...I am too full now!" Karn muttered.
"Let it be Drau...Angraj will have some when he feels like it" meghna said a little irritated by Karn ignoring her.
Draupadi looked at Arjun anger reflecting in her eyes.
"Amazing kheer sakhi!" Krishna said.
Karn amd Arjun looked at Krishna annoyed by his sudden comment while Draupadi and Meghna smiled feeling supported.
"Thank you Govind!" Meghna chirped smiling.
Karn felt a sense of loss. He wanted to confront Meghna but he couldnt bear any more pain. She would again reject him and his heart was not ready to accept it. Arjun's plan seemed fine
"Hey mahadev!" Krishna prayed seeing their condition.
