AUTHOR'S POV

" We are leaving for Hastinapur !..." Karn ordered.

" Yuvraj , atleast let us give 'heart of Mathura' , Agni...a vidaai !.." Asti pleaded.

Karn's eyes softened , he glanced at Agni who was standing like a zombie beside him.

" Well , Rajmata Asti ...from now you are my mother too and I promise that I will try to give your daughter all the happiness I can..." Karn said truthfully but no one reacted.

" Dont worry Maa....I will be fine.." Agni said emotionlessly . Asti's eyes watered by seeing an image of Prapti in Agni. Prapti and Agni went through same fate , both were forced to marry the person they dont want. Asti's heart broke by seeing Agni's state ,..her hair were disheaveled and make up smudged.

Asti cupped Agni's face and made her look at her. Agni forced a weak smile to show that she will be fine even though the smile was fake..

Asti hugged Agni and cried..
" Be strong okay....Aur ha , keep writing letters.." Asti whispered while sobbing.

" Ji Maa.." Agni replied. Agni wanted to cry her heart out but she was not able to as her tears were dried up , she felt numb and extremely weak as if having no energy.

Agni pulled away from hug and went over to Maharaj Darshan and Maharani Samiksha and both of them teared up a bit.

Then she went to Pratyush and Chandni.
" Toh phir jaldi se khush khabar dijiye..." Agni said Chandni as Chandni wad almost nine month pregnant.

Chandni nodded and side hugged her.
" Tumhare bina bahut bore hoga yaha...but yes , tum jo dekh rahi ho wo Karn ka asli roop nahi hai,...believe me Agni, I have a strong feeling that he forced you to marry you as he was getting desperate....I feel he genuinely loves you right now..." Chandni whispered in the way that Pratyush couldnt hear.

" Kya he farak padta hai ,... mai waha jaha ke saat baat karugi tab he toh koi mujhe pyaar de payega na .." Agni said bluntly and went towards Pratyush.
Pratyush just kept looking at her.

" Aap ko kuch nahi kehna Bhai ?.." Agni asked .

Pratyush sighed heavily.
" I am sorry Agni , I failed to protect you.." Pratyush said with extreme guilt.

" Maafi toh wo mangte hai na jinki koi galti hoto hai....dont say sorry Bhai , aaj jo hua , hame blackmail kiya gaya tha...
Ye shaadi ki neev blackmail hai , dekhte hai ye rishta kitne din tik pata hai..
Iss rishte me sambandh toh hoga par pyaar nahi , suhag toh hoga par suhagraat nahi..
Ab , baari aa gayi hai Hastinapur ko ye batane ki , stri..rasoi me misaal par samay aane par mashal bam sakti hai, aatma samman kho kar rani nahi ban sakte, isilye ye sambandh hame asvikaar hai !..." Agni said in a bit firm tone and Pratyush blinked his eyes a few times.

" Whats going on in your mind ?..." Pratyush asked cautiously.

" Yahi ki mere liye waha sab log anjaan hai....I will not to anyone and avoid them as plague..." Agni replied in whisper. Pratyush sighed.

" Look Agni, ye sab karke kuch nahi milne wala...you have to spend rest of your life with Karn , so in my opinion though the marriage was forced but now you are officially his wife aur agar tumhe khush rehna hai toh I will suggest try to get along with Karn-"

" Khush rehna ?....Khushi ye shabd mere dictionary se kab ka chala gaya hai bhai.....I dont know what happiness looks like cause the only thing which I got in life is pain , misery...
Aur ha , I will prefer to die rather than getting along with my husband !... Call it ego or whatever you want , but mere liye wo Karn mere pair ke dhool se bhi tuccha hai !.." Agni said in distaste and Pratyush sighed in defeat.

" Okay but atleast Rajmata Kunti se toh baat karegi na ?.."

" No...of course not !...Mere liye Hastinapur ka har ek royal member rakshas hai !.."Agni replied.

" I deny to consider Rajmata Kunti as my mother in law..." Agni added.

----Time skip----

Agni arrived at Hastinapur.
She was about to get out of the palaquin but stopped when suddenly a hand came infront of her .

" Let me help.." Karn said softly while giving her helping hamd to jump down the palanquin with the heavy outfit.

" No need.." Agni replied shortly without looking at him and jumped down from the palanquin.

" Drop that attitude of yours !...Look , I didnt marry you to make you suffer or something like that...Believe me I love you freaking too much..."
Karn said desperately.

" Look, tumhe mujhse pyaar karne ka dhong karne ki zarurat nahi...I will not announce here anything and if you have any mistress then you can continie your affair with her , cause I didnt care even a bit about whom ypu snog !.."

----Time skip----

Bhishma was quite angry by Karn , there were two reasons , 1) Bhishma hates Agni ,
2) Forcing a girl to marry is a crime.

Arjun was completely ignoring Karn as if he didnt exist.

Agni was ignoring everyone everyone except Karn and Kunti , but she was giving not so pleasant reply to his every question. And she was just talking typically few things with Kunti.

" Rajmata , cant I have separate room ?...If you and Dushala dont mind , then I am even ready to sleep on floor in Dushala's room , I just dont want to sleep in same room as Arya ( Husband )..." Agni requested. Kunti sighed.

" Look putri , you should try to get along with Karn ,... like this you will only live happy life-"

" Aap seedhe seedhe bhi bol sakti hai ki you want me to sleep in same room as Arya..."Agni said in disbelief.

" Practically yes....and its important that Husband and Wife shoud sleep together in same room and its your first night after marriage..."

Agnu just went inside the room without replying and Kunti followed her inside.

Agni cringed in disgust when the bed was decorated with rose petals .

" This is Karn's room and from now your's too.." Kunti said. Agni looked around the room and cant deny the royalty of room and that room was atleast double the size of her room in Mathura.

" Agni come here..." Kunti called her towards the bed and Agni went there lazily.

" Sit in the middle of the bed with your legs pulled close to your chest and the pallu of your outfit on your head .

" Yeh sab kyu karna hai ?...Agni asked.

" Its a ritual ...... basically Karn will enter the room , and lift up your ghunghat and you have to make make him drink milk from that glass of the milk from your hands..." Kunti explained.

" How romantic.." Agni muttered to herself sarcastically.

' Ye chuityappa karne se aaccha mai uss Karn ke muh par ye doodh fek dungi..' Agni thought.

" Okay then what to do after drinking the milk ?.." Agni asked.

" Umm...Now what I can say....well, do whatever you want ..." Kunti said hesistantly and first thing which came
to Agni's mind was to kill Karn.

---Time skip---

Karn silently entered the room which was already dead silent.

Karn went towards the his bed by keeping his crown aside. He saw Agni sitting in the middle of bed with a piece of clthing pulled above her head.

Karn slowly at down beside her on the bed and Agni felt nervous and she tried to control her heartbeat rate which was rising with every footstep of Karn.

Karn gulped hard as he felt his hands sweating.
He slowly lifted Agni's ghunghat and their eyes locked. Karn removed the ghunghat off her head totally without breaking eye contact.
