Third person's P.O.V.

Urvi completes the two weeks waiting eagerly to meet Arjun. And reaches Hastinapur for the festival of Karva Chauth. On one hand, Urvi was looking for Arjun and on the other, Arjun was blindfolded, practising archery with Karn unaware of her overwhelming desire to meet.

Urvi's P.O.V.

I was going to the training arena where Karn and Arjun practised

"Urvi!" Maa called, I turned her

"Where are you going, Putri? The event venue is this way." said Maa gesturing straight

"Maa, whenever I step into this Mahal, I feel as though this Mahal guides me where to go. Please carry on. I'll join you." I said and left for the training arena. When I entered I saw Karn, Arjun, Prishti and Draupadi, Karn and Arjun had blind fonds on and were practising the Shabdbhedi ban and Prishti was wearing ordinary clothes with bronze jewellery

 When I entered I saw Karn, Arjun, Prishti and Draupadi, Karn and Arjun had blind fonds on and were practising the Shabdbhedi ban and Prishti was wearing ordinary clothes with bronze jewellery

"Prishti?! Draupadi?!" I asked, Prishti and Draupadi looked at me the ran to me and hugged me I hugged them back

"How are you, Urvi?" asked Draupadi, they pulled away

"Prishti? How have you dressed?" I asked Prishti gesturing to the sari

"These aren't royal clothes." I said

"She is our Bhabhi, Urvi." said Karn removing his blindfold, even Arjun did the same

"Oh, I didn't know Bhrata Bheem got married." I said, Karn, Prishti and Draupadi laughed

"Mitr Arjun is married." said Karn, I was shocked and heartbroken I gave a fake smile

"They got married on the last year of Gurukul. Didn't Prishti ever tell you? Mitr Arjun is older than all of us Pandav and he is like our Jyesht. They even have two divine little fairies, Kiran and Anjali." said Karn, I nodded and left whipping my tears

Karn's P.O.V.

Urvi left whipping her tears why was she crying? I thought. A Das came into the training arena

"Prishu, Urvi is your Saki and you didn't tell her you're married?" asked Jyesht Arjun angrily

"Arya... that- I- I..." Bhabhi Prishti was hesitating

"Kumar Karn, Bhagavan Parshuram and Guru Dron have come." said the Das, Jyesht Arjun and I smiled with joy exchanging looks, Jyesht Arjun looked at Bhabhi Prishti

"We'll talk about this later." he said, and we left. As we reached we saw Jyesht Yudhisthir washing Gurudev's feet he smiled we walked to Gurudev, Jyesht Arjun, Bhrata Bheem, Nakul and Sahadev one by one washed Gurudev's feet presenting him our weapons. Yuyutsu and the Kaurav washed Guru Dron's feet with took a lot of time because there are hundred and one of them

"Congratulations on your finishing your learning." said Gurudev

"Gurudev, your the one who taught us one can never finish learning because there are no boundaries in knowledge and learning." said Sahadev

"Gurudev, you have given us all you could. But today we will present you with your Gurudakshina." said Yuyutsu

"With your permission, we well build mountains of gold and silver for you." said Duryodhan

"Duryodhan, Gurudev Parshuram and I will be asking for the same Gurudakshina." said Guru Dron gesturing to Gurudev

"I want revenge for my insult, and Gurudev Parshuram wants to witness the Pandav and Arjun's was skils, we want a war against Panchal." said Guru Dron, we were shocked

"Arjun, I understand that you can't attack your in law's place. All of you have already given me you Gurudakshina, but I only what this Gurudakshina from the Pandu Putro." said Gurudev

"Yes, Gurudev." said Jyesht Arjun joining his hands and bowing his head

"What kind of insult, Gurudev?" asked Dushasan

"Years ago, I was struggling to make both ends meet I decided to seek help from my Mitr, and the Raja of Panchal Rajya, Drupad, who had trained with me in my father's Gurukul. I reached his place with full expectations and he said friendship can be maintained between two belonging to the same status. I am a Raja and you are a poor Brahmin. It is your duty to give knowledge and be happy with what you get in the form of Dan. So, wowed defeat him with my knowledge defeat him at the hand of my Shishyo. I, Dron, ask my Shishyo to give me my Gurudakshina in the form of Drupad being brought to me alive, in chains. I want Drupad imprisoned as my Gurudakshina." said Guru Dron

"But, Guru Dron, my Putro have just finished learning. Drupad is a powerful and experienced warrior. Please ask for something else." said Tatshree

"I have said that I want. It is fine if you can't give it." said Guru Dron

"Guru Dron, if it's about your revenge for insult then I will go right away defeat Drupad in war and get him here." said Pitamaha

"Mahamahim, if it was merely about defeating Drupad that I would have done it the very moment when I went to meet him. He insulted my knowledge and I wowed to defeat him through my knowledge If you can't give me my Gurudakshina then I will train warriors of another Rajya and prepare them to avenge my insult!" yelled Guru Dron

"Dron, such anger isn't right." said Gurudev, Jyesht Yudhisthir, Bhrata Bheem, Nakul and Sahadev exchanged worried looks

"Don't worry. Yutsu will never disappoint his Gurudev." I said, and they looked at me nodding

"Gurudev, my life is useless if it doesn't come to of use to my Guru. It is not only our duty but also our good fortune to give you what you've asked for." said Yuyutsu

"Yes, Gurudev." said Duryodhan, evryone looked at him

"We will imprison Drupad and compel him to bow down before you." said Duryodhan smirking proudly

"Pitamaha, command the army to head toward's Panchal. I will lead the army." said Duryodhan

"Duryodhan, we can not do this." said Yuyutsu

"Yuyutsu, you won't be able to lead Hastinapur's army. I will do it." said Duryodhan

"Not even you, Duryodhan. Gurudev has asked his Gurudakshina from us, not from our army." said Yuyutsu, Guru Dron nodded

"Wow! Wonderful! There is one arrow while there are two targets. Mahamahim," called Gandhar Raj looking at Pitamaha

"you were planning to choose the rightful Yuvraj of Hastinapur, am I right? There you go. Through this war we'll, the Lord has made your dilemma easier. A fairway out. Whichever team amongst Yudhisthir and Duryodhan imprison's Drupad and proves that they are superior warriors, the Jyesht will be named the Yuvraj of Hastinapur." said Gandhar Raj

"Very well, Gandhar Raj." said Pithashree

"Tatshree, what do you recommend?" asked Pithashree, looking at Pitamaha

"This would be the most honest way to chose the Yuvraj. No one would hold any grudge because the Yuvraj will be chosen on the biases of, competence and worthiness." said Pitamaha

"Very well. We'll in the evening." said Gurudev
