Story Unfolds :
From the two far corners of Aryavart, three men felt restless inside. One of them felt dead from heart. He knew that his daughter would be saved but what would happen with his wife he was uncertain about it. He was sitting uptight on his seat while thinking of this. His closed eyes were now flooded with tears. He was praying hard to his own deity to save her. To save his love of life. Uruvi. All others of his house were now asleep. But he did not. He just could not. He was afraid for her and their daughter's well-being. With the magical help from Devi Jogmaya Lord Krishna made all asleep. But not him. Surya Putra had the power to even resist the magical spell of Devi Jogmaya too. He took birth with this capability as a Demi-god. Not a sign of sleep in his eyes. He was stark awake. He was none but the main protagonist of our story. Karna himself.
Suddenly he felt some sharp knife was piercing through his heart. With a shock he looked at his chest. Nothing was to be seen there. Then why this feeling?!! In the very next moment, he felt that his heart beat had stopped all of a sudden. He did not understand what was going on. But he understood one thing. He haf lost his wife. He lost his love of life. Once more. "God!! Why?!!Why just me!!! Why me all the times!!!" He tried to get up and then suddenly felt numb in his legs. He fell down on the floor. His vision was now blurred in tears. He lost everything in a second!!!
Suddenly he saw her standing before him and stretching her both hands to him while uttering this softly -
"Main ja rahi hoon. Mere liye ashru mat bahana. Main apse bahat Prem karti hoon. Apke hriday main hi main rahungi. (I am going now. Don't cry for my sake. I love you so much. Don't worry, I will stay in your heart now onwards.)"
"Uruvi..." He screamed aloud. In deep pain. None answered. She was gone. "Come back to me. Don't leave me alone. I can't live without you. You promised me to stay by my side. You can't break that promise. You just can't. If not, then take me with you." His laments rang the silent gloomy atmosphere of the dark night.
....
At the far end of Aryavart, the newly founded state of Indraprastha, two men also felt the same. One of them were still angry with Uruvi but he too loved her tenderly. But his love was different. He felt brotherly love to her. He was very hurt by Uruvi's attitude when she supported his arch enemy Karna over him. She was supposed to support him. Her brother. Her dear "Pashanda". But no. She did not chose him. She chose Karna. He was sulking deep inside. But he still cared for her tremendously. From yesterday night in his heart he felt a mysterious tug for her. As if she was calling him from somewhere. Her laughter, her pulling his hair, her running behind him, her kissing his cheek in front of his two wives - he remembered all the single details. His cheeks got crimson red in humiliation by recalling her kiss on his cheek. God!!! This girl!! Never had learnt how to behave in front of other girls with dignity!!!
His heart was aching for her from yesterday. Every single time. Day and night. God knew why?!! He, the well-known best Archer of India, Kunti son and Madhyam Pandava Arjuna felt totally restless since then. He felt his sister was now in some grave danger. God!! That foolish girl!! Always ran into the danger zone!!! Did not learn how to take care of herself till now!!! He was thinking deep. Suddenly he felt the sharpest pain on his chest. He had clutched his heart tightly. It was now thumping so rapidly that he felt it was going to stop at any moment. That was the same time when Uruvi's heart beat stopped forever.
