"Angaraj, Karna has arrived," they announced.
Arjuna kept staring at him as he walked in with Pitamah.
"Rajamata, Kunti has arrived," they announced.
"Mahamantri, Vidhura has arrived," they announced.
"Pitamah, Welcome. Mahamantri, welcome" Yudhistran na invited him.
"Thank you for inviting this old man to this wedding," he replied.
"You are our Pitamah, not just an old man. We are happy that you are here to see my son's wedding." Aarya greeted him.
"Mata, Bless us." all five of them fall on her feet.
"I've missed you all," she replied.
"Dhaksha, Draupadi? Come here," she stretched out her hands.
We hugged her which made me feel better.
"Angaraj, Welcome," Yudhistran na greeted.
"Sakha, thank you for coming." I greeted him.
"It's my Sakhi's son's wedding. How will I miss it?" he smiled.
"Arjuna Aarya remained silent."
They all settled down in their seats.
"Karna, can come with me?" I asked him.
"Yeah sure," he answered.
"I wanted to make things clear with my sons and Sakha. They can't stay like this."
Aarya kept throwing all deadly stares at me and my brother kept throwing his mischievous smiles at me.
"Mirthik, Virthik," I called them out.
"Mata, what happened?" Virthik came out.
"Angaraj is here?" Mirthik exclaimed.
"Yeah, he is here for your Vivaha."
"How are you doing, my dears," he asked them.
"How can we be good?" Mirthik asked.
"Mirthik, you can't talk like that. He's the one who gave away all his Punya just for us. He saved your mata's life. He was my first-ever friend. He was the one who taught me to be strong. He deserves all the respect." I said.
"But, Mata he was the one who hurt you in the Agyatvas? How can I?"
"I'm sorry about that, Mirthik and Virthik. I didn't know that it was my Sakhi. I'd never hurt your mother." He held both of their shoulders.
"Our parents taught us to be kind and respectful. And always be forgiving and remain calm without revenge. My mother taught us that it's Dharma." Virthik replied.
"I'm sorry for disrespecting you, Angaraj." Mirthik apologized.
"I don't need your apology, my dears. I just want to be my Sakhi's son's well-wisher. That's why I came here today. To bless you both." he smiled at them.
"Bless us, Angaraj," Virthik asked him.
"Ayushmaan Bhava," he endowed.
"Alright, now get ready, both of you."
"Mata, Mirthik is troubling the servants." Virthik pointed at him.
"What did you do?" I crossed my hands.
"No, Mata. He's lying. I was just asking them to bring more clothes and some food 'cause I was hungry." Mirthik replied.
"Virthik, take your brother inside and I'll ask the daasi to get you some sweets." I winked at him.
Mirthuk winked back at me.
"I might be the coolest mom in Dvapara Yug."
"Mirthik resembles you." Karna chuckled.
"Some people say that."
"Virthik resembles your husband."
"Some people say that too." we walked out to the hall.
"Alright, you be seated there. I'll go take care of the altar preparations." I said.
"Sure, I can help if you want me to." he sat on his seat.
"Sakhi, the fragrance flowers are here. Come and select one." Draupadi called me.
I walked towards the entrance to see the whole bunch of flowers.
"You might wanna choose Lilies right?" she asked.
"How about lilies and hibiscus?"
"And roses?" she asked.
"Perfect. Where are the servants?"
"No, this is very important. I got these from my brother. He said that it's expensive and to be careful with it."
"Is it."
"Yeah, Aarya can you help me with these?" I called out for him.
Both Karna and Aarya were moving toward us, staring at each other.
"What happened, Dhaksha?" both of them asked at the same time.
Draupadi closed her mouth and chuckled looking at both of them.
"I just want help to carry these to the guest area." I faked to smile.
"She called for me, Angaraj. Why would you come here?" Arjuna picked up the basket.
"No, she called for me, Arjun. Why would you come?" Karna picked up the basket.
"Dhaksha, who did you call?" Aarya asked.
"Sakhi, answer them." Draupadi controlled her laughter.
"If I say it was Aarya, Karna will feel humiliated. If I say it was Karna, Arjuna will feel bad."
"I called out Uttar for help. Uttar come here." I called him out.
"Plot twist."
"What happened, Dhaksha?"
"Can carry these to the guest area?" I said.
"Yeah, sure," he took a basket in his hands.
"I could use both of your help too," I said
They both stared at each other and started to lift the baskets.
