Panjali said others might have forgotten or ignored it but I very well know that no men from the royal family would have ever touched a women who was or was called a whore.
Karn couldnt control anymore he raised his hand to caress her cheek but just an inch before he would finally have felt her soft skin, her eyes laid the invisible barrier that he hated the most. He just kept his hand hanging the air the air for a second and then he started stroking his hand even with the heavy air between his palm and her cheek. Panjali closed her eyes and her face held pure peace, she ethereal, they both looked like a beautiful painting there.
He could feel the softness of her skin in the air, being close to her have a beautiful feeling that he could not describe. He thought if only I could break the barrior how would it be.
Panjali on other hand was feeling something that made her insides stir and butterflies fly in her stomach. All the life even after being fire herself, the fire in her heart was always surrounded by cold ice, the only the thought that helped her to live with the coldness was her Govind. She surrendered herself to him, gave all the pain and fear to him and walked around with emptiness , there were times when she would want karn more than anything but she would just hold herself. But today she could feel the ice melting if only, if only the gap between them was closed it would have been completely melted. Stopping herself from closing the gap and leaning into his hands and refrain herself from feeling his warmth that was so close was one of the most hardest thing for her.
When karn moved back to his old position bent his head down and let out a huff of frustration, when he looked back at her, there was something in her eyes that he unable to recognize. She gave him a bright smile but only that this time instead of his heart fluttering, something inside him told him that he will not like what was going to happen.
Karn, me yagnseni Draupadi is giving you a boon with the all the good deeds I have ever done in my life that You will get that one thing you have longed in your life which you never got till your last breath.
Karn was more confused now he could not comprehend why she was giving him a boon now, dont they have a lot to speak now??. His heart was unknowingly beating fast, his mind was forming an idea about what this could be but he refused to acknowledge it. One thing was clear to him he would have to accept her decision no matter what and that is something he really feared, he could do nothing to stop her. The inability it was really hard to accept now and he could already hear his own mind questioning him what is the use of being one the best archers of the earth? .
