Karna spun her around and crashed his lips on hers. This was the only way he found to stop her rambling. He knew it was not ethical but that did not stop him from claiming her lips. He kissed her with passion expressing how he felt about her. Juhi seemed to freeze in his arms.

Karna kept his hands on her waist and pulled her closer to him. His other hand cupped her face and his thumb was caressing her cheeks. She was pressed against his hard chest. She kept her one hand on his chest to balance herself. Soon she seemed to realize what was happening. She closed her eyes and started responding with the same passion. Her warm ones started moving with his cold ones. She wrapped her on hand around his neck bringing him close to her.

Sparks flew out in every direction and the world around them seemed to dissapear. The kiss was slow and soft. The kiss said the untold words between them. She felt butterflies in her tummy. A small moan left her lips as his tongue entered her mouth tasting ever bit of her. It was pure bliss for both.

Soon they pulled apart due to the lack of oxygen. Slowly Juhi opend her eyes and stared into his dark brown eyes. His eyes were filled with love and desire for her. Karna gently caressed her cheeks with is hand. She felt sparks ran through her body at his simple touch. With her cheeks still blushing hotly, she glanced at him. Both were breathing heavily due to the kiss.

"Don't misunderstand my silence. Juhi, I love you. These were the words I wanted to say to you since a few days but I was afraid you wouldn't feel the same way so I kept it in my heart. I love everything about you. Every single thing. You are like oxygen for me without you I will die. I know we have just meet a few weeks back but you have become my everything in these days. You are the one for me and I was never been so sure of anything in all my life Juhi." Karna said looking deep into Juhi's eyes.

A few tears fell from her eyes at his confession. She didn't know what to say so she hugged him letting her emotions take control of her. Karna hugged her back. They stood their under the moon in silence. The moon and the stars around it glowed brightly witnessing their love.

"You should go back to your chamber. It is already late." Karna said as he reluctantly broke the hug. Juhi nodded looking at him.

He accompanied her till her chamber.

"I love you" He said as he kissed her forehead. He let his lips linger their for a few minutes before moving back. Juhi closed her eyes feeling the moment.

"I love you too" She said looking deep into his eyes.

That night Juhi and Karna slept with a content smile on their face.What they didn't knew was it was just the start of something which was left behind long back.

"Everyone is here so lets start the meeting." Vidur said looking at Maharaj. Dhritarashtra nodded his head. The court was filled with the family members of the royal family, Gandharraj, Krishna and Juhi.

"What is it that you want to tell us Kunti?" Dhritarashtra asked.

Karna stood near pandavas and Kunti in the middle of the court. Krishna and Juhi stood in the side part of the court. Krishna had a smile on his face. Juhi looked at Karna. Feeling a gaze on him, Karna looked at his side and noticed Juhi looking at him with a smile. He in return gave her a small smile.

Kunti took a deep breath and told them about Karn's true identity. Everyone one was shocked after hearing it except Shakuni, Duryodhana and Dussashan. Some were more dissapointed than shocked.

"He is my son. He is a kshytriya not a soota." These word rang in the court room.

"It is a sin Kunti has committed Maharaj. Giving birth to a son and abandoning him. Then she married your brother pandu by hiding the truth. It is a crime she has commited maharaj. He should be considered an illegimate child." Shakuni was the first one to open his mouth.

"Yes Kunti you have brought disgrace to the hastinapur family. How could you do it? It is highly dissapointing." Dhritarashtra said shaking his head. Kunti looked down not knowing what to say. It was then Krishna intervined the disscussion.

"Maharaj if you will let me speak."

"Don't you know know Vasudev Krishna that guests are not allowed to speak their opinion regarding the court matters of Hastinapur." Shakuni asked with a smirk.

"I am very well aware of it Gandharraj Shakuini but I am here to speak on behalf of my bua and not as a guest of Hastinapur." Krishna said stressing on the word gandharraj.

"Gandhrraj Shakuni if you forget let me remind you that you are also a guest of Hastinapur. If you are allowed to speak in the court means Krishna is also allowed to speak his opinion." Bhishma said looking at Shakuni.

Shakuni had an irritated look on his face because of Bhishma's words. This old hag is always an obstacle in his path. He gritted his teath in anger. He knew that some how this Krishna will solve this without any big trouble.

"Maharaj your grandmother Satyavati was also a mother before her marriage with King Shantanu. So if you think Bua has brought disgrace to Hastinapur then rajmata Satyavati also did the same."

"You are insulting the grandmother of Maharaj Vasudev Krishna." Shakuni intervined.

"No I did not insult Rajmata Satyavati, Gandharraj Shakuni it was you who said about the disgrace brought by bua. I was just mentioning that Rajmata Satyavati had done the same thing like my Bua." Krishna said.

"But it is not the same thing-" Shakuni was cut off by Krishna

"No Gandharraj both are same thing. They both were mother's before their marrage. If rajmata Satyavati is not blamed for it then bua should also be not blamed for it." Krishna said making Shakuni shut his mouth.

"But that does not change the fact that Karna is an illegimate child Krishna. He is not a child of Pandu." Dhritarashra said making Shakuni smile evily.

"Maharaj no child of God is considered an illegimate child and moreover your brother Pandu was very well aware of Karna. He had accepted Karna as his son before his death."

"How can you be so sure that pandu has accepted Karna as his son Krishna?" Maharaj asked again.

"Didn't he mention about a child in his first letter Bhishma pitamaha?" Krishna asked looking at Bhishma Pitamaha. Bhishma pitamaha nodded his head remembering the very first letter written by Pandu.

"In that letter is was cleary written about the birth of a child to Kunti and the letter was written an year before Yudhishtir's birth. Hence the child mentioned in the letter is Karna. Ain't I right Pitamaha Bishma?" Krishna asked.

"You are right Krishna. Pandu had mentioned about it in his first letter. Even I myself has considered that child as my eldest great grand child." Bhishma said as remembered about the letter.

"See Maharaj, your brother Pandu has long before accepted Karna sa his eldest son and now Pitamaha has also accepted him as his eldest great grand child." Krishna said.

Dhritarashra was in confusion. If he accept Karna as the eldest child of Pandu then Karna would become the next ruler of Hastinapur. If he does not accept Karna then it would be injustice done to his dead brothr. He was in delimma as to what to do. He was a father too. He wanted his son to become the next King. He was selfish and he knew that. After all blood is thicker than the water.

"Ok fine as pandu had accepted Karna as his son before his death he will be considered as pandu's eldest son and the eldest of all pandavas. He will be a member of the Kuru family. But as he is born to Kunti before her marraige to pandu the throne of Hastinapur will not be given to him. As your tatahree and King of Hastinapur I give you the Kingdom of Anga as a gift of acceptance. You will continue to rule the kingdom of Anga. Does anyone oppose this can speak up. Do you wish to something Karna?" Dhritarashra ordered even though he knew what he said was wrong.

Pandavas looked at Dhirtarashra with an unbelivable look. How can he do this to their elder brother? He is the eldest of all of them and the rightful heir of the throne. Yudhistra wanted to say oppose but was stopped by Karna who shook his head signaling him not to say anything. Even Juhi was dissapointed with the turning of events. Krishna's smile did not fade away as he had expected the same thing to happen.

Shakuni, Duryodhan and Dushasan smirked at the pandava in victory. Shakuni never thought Dhritrashtra will say such a thing. But he knew what the blind king's love for his children. This is not how he thought this court would end but he was happy with the way court ended.

Bhshma pitamaha and Vitur were also dissapointed because of Dhritarashtra's order but was happy atleast he had accepted Karna. They looked at Karna with a smile.

"No Maharaj I don't have anything to say. I am happy with your verdict." Karna said with a smile making Dhritarashtra stare at him in shock. He thought Karna would fight for the throne but he proved him wrong.

*****

Hi Guys,

Hope you all liked the chapter.

Ok guys please don't ask me how Krishna know about the letter pandu written to Bhishma because I too didn't know about it till now.

After all you cannot predict what Krishna will do.

Author: Atleast you could have told me about the letter.

Krishna: Then what fun will it be.

Author: Tell me how did you get to know about the letter.

Krishna: I know everything. After all they simply don't call me mayakanha.

I guess you all understood the reason behind Krishna's arrival.

So Karna is again the King of Anga.

What do you think about Dhritarashtra's judgment?

Maybe in the next chapter Juhi will leave Hastinapur.

Till then,

Goodbye.
