Dont aarya dont blame yourself or feel guilty, arjun could not believe what he had just heard he must really be dreaming, everyone around the place were at same state. To say the other pandavas were shocked would be an understatement, the people around were also staring without blinking their eyes. Yes aarya she continued it is not your fault.
It was his choices and decisions that brought him to his fall, let me tell even now he doesnt regret his decisions and if given chance I believe he would repeat it. As she finished she turned and gave karn and sweet smile which he returned without second thought. Karn thought of course I am right, it gave him immense pain in even thinking that he was also part of the drama that gave nothing but pain and broke the girl who was once filled with joy, bubbly and innocence.
Arjun was astonished to see karn smile, the understanding they held was absolutely amazing but this was of the most hard thing to accept in his life. Clock started ticking in his head reminding that the time he can call panjali his is going to end. Lastly panjali said I want you to be happy aarya with a beautiful smile, with that she turned around her eyes were on the ground but people could see the conflict of emotions on her face.
Arjun could barely breathe everything was too much for him to comprehend, all that he wanted was to hold panjali and never leave her but it became impossible by now. On other hand panjalis mind was racing with a number of thoughts, she questioned herself did she get the closure she needed. Yes she got her closure but one more thing became sure that was indraputra would always hold a small part of her heart.
Arjun felt worse but yet everything also felt light it was just like silence found in the loud waves of the seas. What was this he was questioning himself while panjali started walking again away from him this time once and for all from his life. Karn smiled seeing her walk toward him, his smile was contagious that it instantly made panjali smile. Karn felt his heartbeat pickup its pace seeing her smile. Everyone around were also mesmerized by that smile.
Arjun got his answer the strange calmness and the silence was his love. He realized that the moment he saw panjali smile at karn. It has been years since panjali smiled so true and hearty smile, it was before the dyet sabha. He had no idea how to take this all pandavas together could not make her smile in 13 years but it took only little while for karn. He understood that he felt clam because his love was going to be happy finally, this thought made him happy and sad at the same time. As it pained him to see her with someone else but was going to learn to accept that.
