"We need to talk" Karn said an air of seriousness surrounding his aura. His beautiful looked at him dreading this discussion.
'He will tell me to leave now. He is so over this marriage. Still if it inflicts him some happiness who am I to stop it?!' Meghna thought. Though the idea of leaving Karn was killing her. Oh God! Why did she fall in love?
Kqrm was struggling. He didn't know what to say. What if she is already packed? Will she leave?
"Meghna I have to ask you something important." Karn said sounding extremely low.
Meghna wanted to stop him. She didn't want to listen but she knew it was going to be inevitable. She nodded.
"Meghna I need to know..." Kafn was going to speak when Duryodhan and Arjun barged into the garden without any proper warnings. Karn was a little taken aback and what shocked him even more was Arjun and Duryodhan were together. What was going on?
"Mitr Karn...Mamashree...Dushashan...they have kidnapped Draupadi" Duryodhan spoke as his breaths were ending. Karn immediately joined the guys. They went out without answering Meghna's questions. She was on the verge of tears. She too wanted to know every information about her friend. She came out of the garden. She was disturbed. She had to reach Govind. He would surely tell her. She was informed by the guards that Krishna was in the city fair. She left for the city fair without informing anyone, the biggest mistake she could have made. As soon as she reached the fair she felt a sudden hit on her head. She could hear the laughter of the kauravas as she blacked out.

"Are you sure we can trust Bhrata Duryodhan?" Nakul asked skeptical. Sahadev too was unsure. Bheem was absolutely sure Duryodhan was going to backstab him. Yudhisthir seemed to trust Duryodhan and Arjun though was unsure seemed to believe him. He was the one who saw Dushashan kidnapping Draupadi. He had tried to stop him but it was too late.
"Why should we trust you Duryodhan?All your life you have tried to kill us and now when your brother has kidnapped Draupadi why shouldn't we doubt your involvement in the plan?" Bheem asked rudely .
"Meghna is my sakhi and her sakhi is my sakhi too. Moreover bhrata Karn is our jyesth bhrata. And you all are my brothers. I may hate you all but I can't disrespect a kulvadhu. Never. And I also want to save my brother from committing such adharm. " Duryodhan tried to defend himself.
"We should not fight over this right now. Draupadi is still with that Dushashan. I doubt his intentions." Arjun said.
"Angrani Meghna is nowhere to be found in the palace Angraj" A dasi suddenly came and announced. As the news was revealed a guard tried to run away. Bheem and Duryodhan blocked his way. He was the same guy who had told Meghna that Krishna was in the fair. After a lot of beatings he confessed he was a spy of Hastinapur, Shakuni and Dushashan to be precise. They immediately knew what had happened.
"Meghna..." Karn whispered. He had to find her.

Meghna could feel the pain in her head as she opened her eyes. Her hands and feet were tied. She saw Draupadi tied in the similar manner. She was still unconscious.She tried to free herself but in vain. She observed her surroundings. She was in a cellar. Where were they?!
"You must be thinking where you both are. I will end your dilemma. Gandhar. You both are in Gandhar!" A very familiar voice was heard. It couldn't be!
"Mamasree Shakuni..." Meghna cried as her lips parted in an overwhelming shock.
Shakuni and Dushashan had played their cards really well. They didn't capture the girls in Hastinapur as Dhritarashtra would never have allowed this now when even Duryodhan was not completely their ally. The pandavas would surely search for their wives in Hastinapur and that would ruin their relations with Hastinapur and Dhritarashtra. This was their plan. Ruining the reaction between pandavas and Hastinapur. Then a big plan followed. These girls were the centre of their plan.

"Karn there is something you need to know" Radhama said entering his chamber. The Kaunteyas and Duryodhan had not told anything about the kidnapping to Kunti and Radhama yet. They were too busy investigating and searching for them.
"Maata this is not the right time. Meghna is..." Karn was going to speak bur Radhama forestall him.
"Meghna loves you. She loved you since the first day she saw you. She was so in love with her. Her first marriage meant nothing to her cause she didn't even know who she was married to. When she arrived in Dwaparyug and opened her eyes she found her forehead covered in sindoor but she didn't care about it because she is in love with you Radheye and These are the things she told me on your wedding day!" Radhama said at one breath.
Karn looked at her trying to process what he just heard. If that was the case then he himself was Meghna's first husband. He was married to his wife twice. But the best part was she loved him. She actually loved him. His love was not one sided. His wife too was in love with him. But... what about her confusion all the time? There was some misunderstanding in her mind. They had to clear it out and for that he had to rescue her.
"Where are you Meghna?" Karn cried frustrated.
"I am quite sure taatshri won't allow Such activity. This is a master plan!" Yudhisthir added.
"Pitasree won't allow such a thing and even I am away from Hastinapur. Je won't perform any such action and pitamah and kakashree would wage a war before capturing the kuru kulvadhus" Duryodhan said.
"This is definitely a big masterclass of Mamasree. Think about it bhrata. If they are not in Hastinapur where else can they be?" Krishna said suddenly entering the scene.
"Gandhar!!!" All of them exclaimed with horror.
