Mahabharats Unknown Mistress

Chapter 27

Karn increased his pace. He rubbed his head as he recalled the latest plot of Shakuni and Duryodhan to steal Indraprasada from Yudhisthir. Karn tried to tell the Kaurava prince to step away from it but Duryodhan had began blind with anger and was thirsting for revenge. To add oil to the fire, Dusasan and Shakuni kept talking about how the Yagnaseni laughed at his father and insulted the Kuru vamsam's King.

' I need to take a fresh breath of air,' Karna thought to himself and walked out of Duryodhan's room.

He walked with a determined expression towards the small corridor of the Palace. He turned left and then took an immediate right before another right, arriving at the back door of the Palace.

His eyes widened slightly and he began striding through the courtyard and entered the Palace of Vidhwan Vidhur.

The Yadava charioteer and guard bowed to Karn who greeted them warmly.

" Maharaj Balaram decided to visit?" Karn asked causing the males to smile as they shook their head.

" The princess Aaratrika has arrived," The guard stated causing Karna's eyes to widened and his mouth pulled into the perfect smile.

Karna quickly walked inside Vidhur's Palace and nod at the guards before stepping into the common chamber.

" Karna!" Aaratrika shouted and waved her hands.

Karn chuckled seeing her cocooned between Radha ma and Sulabha with both his father and Vidhwan Vidhur sitting slight further.

Karn tilt his head as he saw his brother playing with a pair of bunnies with another boy.

Karn smiled widely as Aaratrika stood up with the help of her mothers and waddled towards the man. He met her half way and hugged her tightly as Aaratrika began sniffling as she inhaled her brother's scent.

Karn placed his palms on both of her cheek and inspected her rosy face and exotic eyes. Aaratrika grinned and brought his hand to her stomach.

Karna let out a small gasp as he looked at her with pure unadulterated love as he felt two kicks on his hand.

" Queen Devaki and Rohini suspects there's two child," Aaratrika said causing Karn to look at her with wide eyes.

Vidhur looked at him with an worried expression while Aaratrika smiled hopefully causing Karn to exhale his breath. He simply pat Aaratrika's shoulder and helped her to sit down.

" Whose that ?" He whispered to Aaratrika when the little boy looked at him with adoration.

Aaratrika chuckled and told Karn about Pradayumna causing Karn to blink.

" I will call you Karn mama," Pradayumna said cheekily causing Karn to chuckle.

" Will your father agree with it ?" Karn asked the boy who nod his head sagely.

" Father admires you the most," Pradayumna said with an intent look causing Karn heart to feel lighten.

The man frowned slightly as the darkness in his heart disappeared and instead something soothing and light warmed his heart.

" Aaratrika...I am very happy that you came but-" Karn began when Aaratrika smiled and nudged Karn, pointing at the boys.

Adhiratha smiled and stood up before bringing the boys outside while Radha ma smiled and told the boys that she will make snacks for them. Once the foursome left, Vidhur stood up and walked towards the door, closing it while Sulabha draw the curtains together.

Karn exhaled his breath and placed his hand on Aaratrika's shoulder.

" It's not a good time for you to visit. Duryodhan-" Karn began when Aaratrika nod her head.
