"You dont seem happy Bhrata Karn" Arjun said observing Karn. He was quite and less cheerful. His smile too was missing most of the times . His connections with Mrinalini too seemed a little forced.
"No Parth! What are you saying? I am extremely happy." Karn lied.
"You have started lying to me as well!" Arjun said a little hurt by Karn's lie.
Karn couldn't face him. He would figure out in a second.
"What is it Bhrata? You know you can tell me anything right?" Arjum asked.
Karn narrated his entire live story leaving out the fact that she was the princess of Panchal. He had no right to destroy Arjun amd Draupadi's future together.
"What! Who is that arrogant princess?!" Arjun demanded. He would destroy her entire kingdom for hurting his brother.
"Parth calm down! Please calm down! Never utter such words again! " Karn said strictly.
"You love her so much Bhrata! How can she betray you like this! I wont forgive her ever...but you are not revealing her identity. Please tell me who is she Bhrata?" Arjun asked.
"You dont need to know that Arjun. And forget about her. It's my wedding day!" Karn said faking enthusiasm.
"Bhrata you are so unhappy with this marriage" Arjun said.
Karn just looked away trying not to recall the fire born princess.
"Anga is so well maintained. Look the people are so happy with their king. I cant believe I had insulted such a generous man." Draupadi said as she looked around the city.
"Here we are in the palace gate" Nayana said .
The guardes guardedvtgem from entering the palace.
"Pranipat. I am Draupadi the princess of Panchal and this is Nayana the princess of Dwarka. We are here to meet Angraj Karn" Draupadi said swiftly.
"Oh and we should believe you. The princesses of Panchal and Dwarka are here without any chariot or news. I am sorry but I can't let you both in" the guard said blocking their way.
"Pranipaat kaka. Can you please call Marn once?" Nayana begged.
"Its his wedding day. He is not to be disturbed." The guard said.
Nayana couldnt believe her ears. It was Karn's wedding day. She was kot invited. Ofcourse how could he invite her! He didnt even know where she was. They again begged the guards.
"Let them in" a very familiar voice was heard.
"Bhrata!" Nayana exclaimed with joy and ran towards her brother and hugged him tight.
"Govind!" Draupadi exclaimed surprised.
"What are you both doing here?" Krishna asked with a smile. Ofcourse he knew what they were doing there.
"Uh actually..." before Draupadi could say another word they heard a familiar voice again.
"Draupadi! What are you doing here? Wait...Nayana!" Arjun exclaimed as he looked at the Dwarka princess.
His fist clenches and his expressions turned cold. He loathed Nayana for bailing on her marriage with Duryodhan. She was the reason her brother had been so heartbroken.
"What are they doing here Madhav?" Arjun asked my looking at Nayana even once.
" I am here to apologise to the king of Anga and Nayana is my sakhi so she is accompanying me" Draupadi said not very happy to see Arjun's cold reaction towards her friend.
"Apologise? Why what have you done?" Arjun asked.
"Arjun!" Karn called from the distant.
"Yes Bhrata!" Arjun replied.
This voice! Draupadi could swear she had heard this voice before. This voice was too familiar. Wait it couldnt be...no...but this seemed like him.
Draupadi pushed everyone aside and started walking towards the voice. Arjum and the others followed her.
"You!?" Draupadi exclaimed with horror as she noticed Karn's face properly. Karn was horror stricken. What was Yagyaseni doing here on his wedding day?
"Answer me! What are you doing here? In this wedding attire? You are not getting married...are you?" Draupadi said tears forming inside her eyes.
Karn was confused. She herself had rejected him for Arjun and now she is acting weirdly. Did she even care if he got married or not?
"Wait you know him?" Nayana asked completely surprised.
"Nayana!" Karn said shocked to see his friend here.
"This is...he is Radheye " Draupadi explained.
"Is she...bhrata is she the girl?" Arjum asked slowly figuring out the missing pieces of the puzzle.
"Let's not talk about these things. It's me wedding and I am happy that Nayana is here." Karn said completely hiding his emotions.
"Wait...seriously! You are getting married! You had promised me that you will marry me!" Draupadi shouted anger visible in her fire like eyes.
Now Karn too was angry. She was accusing him baselessly.
"And I came back to fulfill my promise but you and your father insulted me! What did you say?! I will never marry a sutaputra! Well guess what I am a sutaputra! So Yagyaseni our future ended and I am very happy for you and Arjun!" Karn said angrily.
"Arjun is in love with Draupadi?" Subhadra asked all of a sudden entering the scene.
Both Draupadi and Arjun were shocked.
"Bhrata what are you saying? I have met Draupadi once. And there is nothing between us!" Arjun said. Subhadra looked a little relieved.
"Wait are you...you are the king of Anga?!" Draupadi asked completely shocked.
Karn looked away his mind bursting with rage and anger.
"Radheye I...please listen to me" draupadi begged tears glowing down her cheek.
"Karn listen to her once" Nayana said.
Karn looked at Draupadi. She was crying. He couldnt see her cry. He grabbed hold of her hand and pulled her inside his chamber.
Everyone were hoping that their misunderstanding were cleared.
"Now what are you doing here?" Arjun asked Nayana in the rudest manner possible.
"Dont you dare talk to my sister like that!" Subhadra said. Krishna just smiled.
"Your sister eloped fr her wedding! She broke my brother's heart! She ran away with her lover..." Arjun continued speaking.
"STOP IT ARJUN!" A loud voice echoed in the halls.
"Duryodhan!" Nayana said.
