Author's POV
" Ruhi !...Why did you pulled me out from there ?...I was about to teach nice lesson to that Arjun !!..." Karn muttered in annoyance while walking behind Ruhi . Ruhi somehow stopped the fight before Bheeshma and others could come and she just dragged out Karn out of the function saying that it's there family issues and they have nothing to do with it.
" Why are you not able to understand Radheya ???....I am from future for God's sake !...I know what is going to happen in future !!!....." Ruhi exclaimed while sighing.
" What is going to happen?.."Karn asked while grabbing Ruhi's hand and stopping her.She sighed.
" I need to ask someone if I could tell you everything, but I haven't met him till now.....so I can't tell you anything brother....But there is so many things about you that you yourself don't know , and I can't tell you right now because I am afraid what if the history changes.." Ruhi said and Karn looked in her eyes and the eyes held pain . He saw that before too , though Ruhi acts like she doesn't care about anything, laughs and jokes , but her eyes hold pain for some reason which Karn didn't know .
" Okay....don't tell , but I can't let that Arjun insult you like this without getting any punishment!!..."
" Why , hun ?......Oh I see , typical protective brother !..." Ruhi smirked teasingly and Karn's ears turned red.
" Aapko abhi Tak maut kyu nahi aayi Bhai ?...Aap toh mujhe behen manne ke liye tayar nahi the !.." Ruhi asked with a goofy grin.
" W-Woh t-toh m-mjhe t-tum par Daya aa gayi!....Or why in the seven hells I will consider a junglee billi like you ,my sister ?!.." Karn defended himself.
" Sure !.."Ruhi said while rolling her eyes but smiled when she remembered Raj , her brother saying same thing to her.
" Stop smiling like that , that smile creeps me out !...I feel like you are planning something which is surely not good for human kind !..."Karn said while lying down on the grass as they reached a bit elevated hilly grassland type area of Hastinapur while walking in random direction.
Ruhi also sprawled on the grass at some distance from Karn while ignoring the Karn's comment.
Both of them went into comfortable silence while gazing at starry sky.
Karn turned his head a bit to look at Ruhi and saw she was smiling while looking at the stars which made Karn smiled too.
" Ruhi , can I ask you a question?..".Karn asked while looking at sky and got a 'hmmm' in reply.
" If I was in your place , I would have lost temper and would have started planning to take revenge from the person who insulted me , but you are exactly opposite, you are smiling even after getting insulted infront of lot of people even though you know that you are from future and not a Sutputri!....Why and how are you like this ?.."Karna asked and turned his gaze at Ruhi who didnt turn her gaze away from the twinkling stars and that enchanting smile still plastered on her lips.
" Hmm , quite weird of me , don't you think ?.."Ruhi asked while finally looking at Karn .
" Yes, that's why I asked.." Karn replied incredulously.
" My father was a hopelessly sweet and romantic person * Ruhi said with a agonised smile *......The only person whose words had a huge impact on me...
He used to say , ' Ye life bohot choti hai baccha ,... So go on , break the rules...
Forgive quickly, kiss slowly..
Love truly...
Laugh uncontrollably....
And never regret anything that made you smile ...'.." Ruhi said while looking up in the sky and a smile appeared on Karn's face ." So , are you also hopelessly romantic like your father ?.."Karn asked but regretted when Ruhi's eyes darkened.
" No , absolutely not !!...I am never gonna repeat the same mistake my father did !!..." Ruhi said coldly and I thought its better to keep quite on this matter.
" Don't talk about it now , let's go !...Uncle and Aunty must be getting worried!.."

Author's POV
" Duryodhan!...mere bacche !-"
" Mamashri !...stop scaring me like that !...and what's the matter , why you barged into my room as if some tsunami has came ?.."Duryodhan asked in disbelief.
" Bhratashri !...you get scared also ?.."Dushala asked sarcastically and Duryodhan rolled his eyes and warned her to shut her mouth.
" What is wrong with you Duryodhan ?....Why did you stop yourself from killing that Pandu Putra Bhim on the spot just because of that Angraj's sister ?.."Shakuni asked in disbelief .
" Yes , Bhratashri, I also want to know.." Dushala chirped in.
" Because it all started because of her getting insulted and if she don't want revenge then why there is need to do useless fights with worthless people ?.."
" No mere bacche !...You need to teach that Pandavas nice lesson !-"
"Mamashri !..why are you telling wrong things Bhratashri-"
" Dushala!..jab bade baat karte hai toh chhoto ko bich me nahi bolna chahiye!...where are your manners ?
*Dushala pouted angrily*....
You are right mamashri ,... I will teach them nice lesson !..those Pandavas want Hastinapur's throne , but I will never let there dream come true !...I am the only one who deserves to become King !...
From tomorrow, the mission of cutting down the five big thorns from the path between me and Hastinapur's throne begins !..." Duryodhan said and both him and Shakuni laughed evilly which made goosebumps raise on Dushala's body. She gulped hard." But Ruhi doesn't want fight and neither do I !.."Dushala yelled making Shakuni and Duryodhan stop laughing.
" So what ?....I am not your or Ruhi's puppet that I will sacrifice my dream only for sake for you and hers happiness...
For God's sake , why are you taking her name in middle Dushala !...
Though she is Mitra Karn's sister and at first I really thought that she is really like Karn but later I understand that she is completely opposite!...
And thanks for reminding me about her , she will get a brutal punishment for talking rudely to Mamashri , Dusshasan and Ashwathama!..And I know Karn will not interrupt!.."Duryodhan said with full confidence. Shakuni smirked proudly and Dushala's eyes widened in horror." I have to write a letter to Ruhi to ask her to flee away to some other kingdom far away from Hastinapur cause I can't see Bhratashri torturing her brutally as I have seen him torturing people with my own eyes." Dushala thought and immediately dashed out of the room .
