Arjun, in search of flowers, reached to the other side of river, the other side of Panchal, South Panchal where Draupad ruled over

He couldn't help but go to the temple, it was as if Narayana himself was calling him, his legs were on his own as if he were possessed by the thought of going there

"Aisi khubsurati, aisi bhavana, Hey Narayan ye aapki konsi Leela hai?"

Arjun thought to himself after seeing a beautiful girl, doing Pooja and chanting Arti of Narayana, she was looking absolutely the beautiful girl in the whole universe without such lavishing jewelleries and Arjun didn't failed to recognise who she was

"Panchal Kumari Draupadi? Yeha? Iss bhesh mein?"

He silently walked until he was few steps away from her, his heart beating violently, making it easy for anyone to listen it if they listen closely, he was about to move further when, Draupadi lost her balance as she saw she was about to step on a mouse

"Devi aap swasth hai?"

("Lady are you okay?")

Arjun was fast enough to close the distance between them and holds her from her waist in time

On the other side of Lake, Karn was roams in search of any fruits they can use as Prasadam

"Hey Narayan, Hey Mahadev iss van mein ek bhi vriksh nahi hai kya?"

("Hey Narayan, Hey Mahadev is there not a single tree in this forest?")

Just then he saw huge apple trees, he walked towards it, relief rushed all over him, the apple were looking in good condition but there was someone else over there, trying to puck apples

He quietly chuckled at the cute attempt to jump and pucking the apples from tree

"You need any help, devi?"

He asked, wanting to help the poor soul who was trying her hardest. The girl turned and looked over Karn, who had the shocked expressions on watching who the girl was

"Vrushali?"

The girl or Vrushali nodded, remembering he gifted her dragger and also took care of her

"Angraj Karn? Aap yeha?"

("King of Anga,Karn? You here?")

"Yes, I need some fruits for our Pooja, you need a helping hand?"

Vrushali nodded, she could use a helping hand since from past 20 minutes she has been trying to just puck apples. Karn nodded and effortlessly started to get the apples when she stole glances at him, his physic was that of like a true worrior, who knows the battlefield by heart, an unknown aura covering him, his gold earrings shinning under sunlight, he didnt wore much jwelleries, making him look even gorgeous, making him glow even more.

Even a look was doing something with her, her heart beated fast when close to him

"Bura na maane to ek prashna kare Rajkumari?"

("If you don't mind, can I ask you a question Princess?")

The word Rajkumari, it is not uncommon for her to hear it but it comes like a blur memory

"Rajkumari? Sakhi, humein sakhi bolo sakha"

("Princess? Call me Friend ")

"Rajkumari?"

("Princess")

Karn asked again, looking worried for her, he asked her again if she is okay or not. She snapped out of her thoughts and reassured him that she is perfectly fine

"Angraj aapko kuch prashna puchna tha?"

("Angraj, you wanted to ask some question?")

"Haan"

("Yes")

"Puchiye"

("Ask")

By now Karn had collected more than enough apples for both of them to use for Pooja.

"Aap yeha pe, iss sadharan vesh mein kya kar rahi hai?"

("what are you doing here, in this ordinary form?")
