Alternate universe

Destined to be together

"Pitamah What is going on!!!" Arjun asked a very notorious smile plastered on his face.
Amba and Bheesm were in no position to speak. Amba looked downwards trying to hide her eyes revealing the love she contained in them for bheesm. And Bheesm was looking all around. They were in such a difficult position.
"Maata Amba I didn't know Mahamahim still visits the forest" Draupadi said. Bheesm got to know a lot of things that the girl living with Amba was actually the princess of Panchal and she had kidnapped Karn from his own marriage. He would never had accepted it earlier but now when he knew what love was how could he not support them.
The landavas got to know about their pitamah's frequent visits in the forest. Nakul and Sahadev were indirectly teasing their pitamah. Meanwhile another chaos was taking place.
"What do you mean you all kidnapped me from my own wedding. I was getting married for Radhama. You broke my promise my oath. It was between me and my mother!" Karn said . He seemed really angry. Arjun knew he would cool down soon but Draupadi was greatly affected.
"Did you want to get married to Mrinalini?" Draupadi asked genuinely hurt. Was Karn not ready to accept her any longer. She knew she had committed a sin but she had committed it unwillingly .
"Yes I would have married Mrinalinj for my mother's sake" Karn said haughtily.
"And what about the promise you made to me! You had given me your wprd that you would marry me!" Draupadi shouted.
"You too promised me you would never judge anyone based on their caste but your arrogance and your father's teachings changed your heart!" Karn spat. He knew he was not speaking sense. Draupadi had used the word unknowingly but he was too angry.
"Enough! Nothing about my father Angraj Karn! I won't be able to take it! I accept my fault. I should have let you marry Mrinaline and ruined all three lives altogether. But would your maata be very happy to know that you are in live with someone else and you are getting married to someone else?" Draupadi asked. A new voice was heard suddenly.
"Absolutely not! You are right Draupadi" It was Radhama along with Yudhisthir and Kunti who had shown the way to Amba's hut.
"I am really disappointed in you Radheye. You are my son. Not my servant. You can tell me anything. And Draupadi is extremely right. Moreover how can you destroy Mrinalini's life in that manner Karn!" Radha asked really cross with her son's stupidity.
Karn pondered over his thoughts.  He calmed down as he realized that Draupadi and his mother were right. Life matters more than promises. Happiness matters more than oaths. He regretted using such harsh words against Draupadi. Bheesm seeing Kunti had left for Hastinapur abruptly. Kunti didn't see Bheesm and neither did his grandchildren mention his presence to Kunti. It was between pitamah and his grandsons.
"Putri forgive my son's stupidity and his unreasonable temper." Radhama apologized.
Draupadi was teary eyed. She somehow nodded her head. But whatever Radheye said was hurtful. Does he even love her?
"Maata what about Mrinalini?" Karn asked.
"Well she is very happy that you eloped. She was not in love with you Radheye and she has found love." Radhama said shocking everyone but Krishna.
"I have to go...I  can't stay here. I have some work" Nayana said . Draupadi nodded. Nayana's baby was alone. And Draupadi too wanted to stay alone for some time after the unexpected reaction of Karna.
Karn realized his folly. She was right. And so was Radhama. He would've never kept Mrinalini happy. Moreover he was in love with Draupadi.
"I...I am...Yagyaseni...I want to talk to you for a moment" Karn cried his voice breaking.
The padavas smiled. Finally their mess would get sorted. Kunti was so happy to see her son and his probable daughter in law. Duryodhan was a little confused. He was still thinking about Nayana's hurry. Why did she want to go to Panchal? There had to be something . He had to find out. What was Nayana hiding from him for which she broke.off their marriage, his heart and their beautiful future together?
Yagyaseni nodded. Draupadi and Karn walked towards the river. That was where they had met each other for the first time. The memories brought back more memories and their heart broke thinking about the pain they had inflicted on one another.
"I...Draupadi...your name is Draupadi" Katm said smiling a little.
"And you are Angraj Karn,  The king of Anga" Draupadi said smiling ironically. They both had hidden a lot of things from one another.
"Are we meant to be Radhe? I mean we have hurt each other so much...lied to one another... not trusted one another....will we stay happy together?"  Draupadi asked fearing his answer.
"No I don't know that Draupadi. I  no God thus I don't know what futures are awaiting us....what tests of love do we have to pass...what will be our marital problems...but I know one thing...I can't think about anyone as my wife except you Draupadi" Karn said looking far away.
Draupadi was too emotional.  He loved her. And she loved him. He was right. There was no use thinking about the future. She looked at him with tears in her eyes. They looked at one another's eyes and at that brief moment they were sure they were destined to be together. However their happiness was short lived for the king of Panchal had spotted them from the far. Drupad was bursting with rage. His daughter was with the sutaputra.
"For marrying my daughter you will have to kill me!" Drupad shouted.
