Priya POV

I saw Bratha Karna going outside followed by Draupadi. I know where he would go. Before going to him, I have to look at the faces of all. The Pandavas was crying. Rajmata was crying... no showing her crocodile tears. If she really loved Bratha, then she would have accepted Bratha Karna way before and wouldn't let her so-called legitimate children insult him.

I saw Shakuni mamashree smirking. I knew he would make new plan and I was right.

Shakuni- ADHARM! Maharaj, Rajmata Kunti has brought shame to the Kul. She had a child before marriage and kept it a secret. It has to be punished.

Now everyone looked at Mamashree. 

Maharaj- uh. Yes.

I am sorry for interrupting Maharaj, but the punishment should be given by Bratha Karna as he is the one who is affected in all this. No one except Bratha Karna can punish Rajmata. 

Shakuni- Yuvrani, this is a matter of Hastinapur.

This involves my Bratha as well. As such, I will involve in it. I said in a cold tone. 

On the other hand,

Karna ran towards his house and saw Radha ma cooking.

Karna- Maa. He called.

Radha looked at him and saw tears in his eyes. She stood up and ran towards him.

Radha- Putra, what happened? Why are you crying?

Karna- Maa, am I adopted?

Hearing this, Radha felt her blood run cold. Draupadi reached by then. 

Radha- Why... why do you ask that, my child?

Karna- Please tell me. Am I adopted? He asked crying.

Radha knew one day or the other, the truth will come. She took a deep breath and spoke.

Radha- Yes.

Karna felt as if his world crash down.

Radha- Me and your father found you in a basket. We didn't have any child for years. Everyone started to blame me. I was devastated. We prayed. One day when we praying to Suryadev, we heard a cry of a child. We saw a basket flowing. We took it and saw a baby. The moment I took you, I knew that you are the blessing for me. She said crying.

Draupadi was crying. How can Rajmata do such a thing? No wonder she didn't feel good about Rajmata Kunti. One mother made a baby flow in the river, while another mother embraced the baby.

Radha- Putra, tell me. How did you get to know?

Karna explained what happened in the Darbar. Radha felt heartbroken for her child. How could any mother do such a thing. One side, she hated Kunti, while another part of her thanked Kunti, otherwise, she wouldn't get her Radhey.

Radha- Putra, you will not leave me, right? You don't hate me, right? Please Putra, don't hate me. She said in a broken voice.

Karna looked at her shocked. How could his mother think that he will hate her. That he will leave her. But he understood that it is her fear saying this. He hugged Radha maa and spoke.

Karna- I was Radhey, I am Radhey, and I will always be Radhey. You are my mother. My birth mother abandoned while you embraced me. I will never leave you. I can never hate you maa. Never think I will leave you. You are my everything. I will be always known as Radhey not Kaunteya.

Radha felt overwhelmed. She hugged Karna tightly. Draupadi smiled. She started to love him more. She was feeling so good seeing the bond between the mother and son.

Draupadi went near them and hugged them. Karna and Radha smiled at her gesture.

After some time, Karna lied on Radha's lap with his closed while Radha was caressing his hair. 

Draupadi- Arya, what will you do now?

Karna- What do you mean Drau?

Draupadi- About Rajmata. 

Karna opened his eyes and sat up. Radha looked at her son.

Karna- I can forgive her for abandoning me. If she didn't abandon me then how can I get Radha maa as my mother. But I cannot forgive her for not acknowledging me even after knowing my identity. She kept silent whenever any of her sons insulted me. 

Saying this he stood up.

Karna- Maa, I will go to the river for some time. He left from there.

Draupadi and Radha looked at each other. They knew Karna needs some time alone to gather his thoughts.

In Hastinapur Palace,

The Darbar was chaos. Duryodhan was feeling restless. He was feeling bad for his Mitra. No, his brother. 

D- How can Badi maa, no... Rajmata do that to Mi... I mean Jyesht. He is a Devputra. Son of Suryadev. I knew when I first met him that he is special. The aura he had was not of an ordinary person. The Kavach and Kundal's that was a part of his body. I am glad he is my brother. I have already considered him as my elder brother. He does give that aura. I won't forgive Rajmata for doing what she did. Doesn't she have a heart. How can she keep quite when her son was being insulted. I heard mamashree telling Pitashree to punish Rajmata. Priya Didi interrupted them. 

She is actually right. It is Jyesht who should punish Rajmata. How dare mamashree tell Didi to not poke into this matter. I can't believe I had once respected and loved him. He is trying to destroy Kuru Vansh. I won't let it happen.
