The Sun And The Moon

Sangahti

The Naam Karan ceremony took place in Indraprasth. Divyanshi sat next Draupadi and her baby.

"What should we name the baby boy, pandit ji?" Yudhisthir asked.

"Prativindhya!" He said.

"I knew it." Divyanshi muttered and smiled.

"Prativindhya, the prince of Indraprasth!" Yudhisthir lifted the child up.

Divyanshi sat in a corner while the other people danced. She cursed her uterus for bleeding when she wanted to enjoy. She realised why she was being moody, of course, it was the god damned period.

"Why don't you dance with us?" A little girl asked.

"I am afraid you will feel inferior when I set the dance floor on fire." Divyanshi said.

"How do you never fail to smile?" Karn asked.

"Oh! It is just one of my qualities." She stated.

Jaydrath was also invited in the ceremony, unfortunately, he was the son in law of the Kurus. He kept his eyes on Divyanshi. Even after the beating he got from Duryodhan, he was a pervert.

He approached her, "Is there anything that I do that doesn't irritate you?"

"Why? You want to check that off your list too?" She mocked him, "You waste oxygen, you foul creature so yes, you do irritate me in every possible way."

"I just came here with an offer." He said.

Karn was watching them both for afar, he knew something was wrong.

"An offer, huh? What am I getting?" She was curious.

"Now we are talking." Jaydrath smirked, "You and I are the same, you just don't show your adharmi side."

"Adharmi side!" She scoffed.

"I want to know about the future and in return I will make you the queen of half the land that I have captured." He offered.

"Make me the queen? By marriage?" She asked.

"In any way you like." He leant in.

She kept her hand on his chest and slowly pushed him back. Karn sprinted to them. "You are still a bitch, Jaydrath. I expected you to change."

"What is wrong?" Karn inquired, "He was upto something, wasn't he?"

"Don't worry about him, love. He is harmless." Divyanshi laughed.

"What is it, huh? Why do you act you are some queen or something?" Jaydrath gritted his teeth.

"I am no queen but you are no king too, man. The only reason that you are in history is because you married my best friend." Divyanshi stated, "She isn't known as 'Sindhraj Jaydrath's wife, Dushala', you are known as 'Rajkumari Dushala's husband' killed by-" she paused.

"Killed?" He inquired.

"Killed by the Kurus." She completed.

Jaydrath glanced at Duryodhan and Dushasan drinking in a corner. He turned back to look at the couple but found them gone.

"He was killed by Mitr Duryodhan?" Karn asked when they away from the crowd.

"Let me not answer that question." Divyanshi rested her head on his chest.

"My whole life will pass in suspense with you, no?" He laughed.

"Your whole life with me would be awesome, so shut up." She lightly punched his chest.

They heard laughter from behind a pillar. Nakul, Sahadev and Bheem couldn't hold back all the emotions they felt watching the couple being so close. Nakul gasped for air when Bheem hit his back constantly laughing.

"Atleast hide properly." Divyanshi said.

Karn was red with shame. He didn't like the Pandavs much, he wasn't their enemy not their friend. He was afraid if Arjun had seen them together too.

"Don't worry, Angraj. Our brother Arjun isn't here." Nakul teased him, "He didn't see you both 'together'."

Bheem wiped his tears from all the laughter, "We won't tell anyone."

"Everyone knows now. Nothing would change." Divyanshi tried to shake off the weird incident.

"Yeah!" Karn added awkwardly.

"But we didn't know that you are so romantic." Sahadev commented.

Arjun joined them. "What is with the laughter? Did Duryodhan fall from the stairs?"

"I'd love to see that." Divyanshi muttered.

"No, we caught them 'together'." Nakul whispered the last part.

"You promised us!" Karn said.

Bheem shrugged, he turned to Nakul. "You shouldn't have done that, Bhrata. Don't ever do that again, ok?" He joked.

Divyanshi shook her head and sighed. The brothers left but Arjun waited for them. "Aren't you going to join us?" He was the most humble one.

"After what your brothers did?" Divyanshi mocked.

"Look, I apologise." He held up his hands.

"Yeah, fine." Karn took her hand and walked away.

"The grip is firm. You seem jealous." Divyanshi teased him.

"I just don't want to-"

"Oh! You don't need to be jealous of the other archer." She cupped his cheek, "You are my favourite one."

"You like me more than that 'Bartan' guy?" He asked.

"It's not 'Bartan', silly. It is 'Barton'." She laughed at his silly mistake, "And that is a very obvious question with an obvious answer, yes!"

"I am flattered." He said.

"I flattered you the day I met you, love." She shrugged.

They enjoyed the evening together, talking and spending time in the palace garden. During the dinner time, Divyanshi didn't get to sit with Karn as she arrived late at the dinner table. She sat next to Krishnn, ate her food.

"We need to talk." He whispered before taking the first bite of his food.

She was afraid. He spoke in an extremely serious voice. She had never seen him this serious. She ate her food with an intense feeling. She feared if he would break some bad news to her.

"What is it about?" She asked.

"Finish your food." He said.

She gulped down the last bite. She washed her hands and waited outside of the dinning hall. Karn asked her if anything was wrong but she sent him to his room. Before leaving, Arjun glanced at her. She was tensed, he saw Krishnn approaching her and left.

"There is something wrong, right?" She panicked, "But no one is dying soon, no?"

"I am not here to talk about death." Krishnn said, "Death is a part of life, which will eventually come for everyone of us, even for me."

"Then what is it about? Am I being sent to some other universe? Please don't do that! I already love Karn of this world, I won't be able to love any other version of him."

"It's about Angraj Karn." He said.

She paused, "What about him?" Her voice broke.

"You both love each other and that is the problem." He spoke, she furrowed her eyebrows. "He is on the wrong path. No matter how good he is but his 'sangahti'? It's bad. Duryodhan is an adharmi man."

"There has to be a solution. There is always a solution." She protested.

"There is only one solution." Krishnn said, "Get him on the right part. Break his and Duryodhan's friendship."

"I-what? Me?" She stammered.

"This is your fight. I am with you but you have to do 'this' on your own or as much as I hate to say this to you, there will be consequences."
