Running towards the borders of Panchaal Arjun finally remembered that he can use the bow Kindhura that is in his hand. Thank Narayan! Karna thought. Duryodhana gave his charriot to Arjun and Draupadi as Draupadi was not trained in horse riding. He himself rode with Karna. Other pandavas  packed themselves with Ashwastham while Nakul and Sahdev took the horse offered by Drupad. Somehow, they reached the borders and crossed it where they saw Krishna standing for them smiling.

Krishna : Chalo ghar chalte hai.

(Come let's go home.)

He said mischievously. Karna scoffed. And mumbled

Karna : You mean my home.

But he was royaly ignored. And another person who was being subtly ignored was Draupadi. All were still ignoring her for making a tear fall from Karna's eyes. Who was clueless about things going around him. He was happy for Arjun. And they started their journey towards Hastinapur with Krishna in tow.

•––––––☆––––––•

All were silent when Karna thought he should talk and make things less awkward. He started doing random talks with occasional clipped answers from others. Arjun asked for water from Ashwastthama who was riding beside him in his charriot. Arjun started drinking some. Meanwhile Karna asked

Karna : Bhabhi Draupadi how old are you?

Everyone stopped doing everything. But Arjun ignored it and still kept drinking water. Karna turned towards Duryodhan and in return he was informed

Duryodhan : You should never ask age of a lady.

Ohhh. Karna thought realizing. But before he could apologize to Draupadi, she smiled brightly and said proudly

Draupadi : Me full three months old.

And that moment, Arjun spit out the water from  his mouth with wide eyes gobsmacked.

All mouths were agape while Krishna laughed silently. After some time Nakul and Sahdev looked towards Arjun and with twin powers chanted together

Nakul and Sahdev : Baal vivah..Baal vivah...Baal vivah...
