Karna was annoyed after the fest ended and everyone went.

He still couldn't forget Arjun's words. He couldn't understand their problem at all. Why would they always mock him for his lineage and taunt him for his affection towards mother Kunti.

She was the Queen Mother. She was the mother of the common people and other royals, so she was his mother too. (Not by blood) but still.

"Don't take Arjun's words by heart", Urvi said as she entered inside the chamber.

"Do you really think I take him seriously?" Karna asked and sat on the bed. Urvi snickered. "Well, as much as both of you decline it, you do take each other seriously", she said sweetly and Karna passed her a glare.

"Do you have a habit of giving me headache?" Karna asked irritated.

"I love to annoy you", Urvi replied.

Karna rolled his eyes and stood up. "Later", he said. "I need to practice archery", he said and walked towards the door.

"I am leaving for my kingdom by evening", Urvi said and Karna turned around, swiftly. "Why?" He asked. He didn't even know why he asked if she annoyed him so much. It just left his mouth, automatically.

"My parents are planning my swayamvar", she said.

Karna felt a bit weird hearing it. "S-swayamvar?" He asked and looked away. "Oh", he said slowly. 

"It would be great if you come", she blurted out.

Karna looked at her instantly. "I mean to say...so that your wives can come. It would be great to have friends", she explained hurriedly.

"So you want me there just because my wives, especially, Supriya can come?" He asked. He was feeling a bit dissappointed hearing it. (Don't know why)

"No...I want you to come here because even you are my...", she paused.

Karna looked at her intently.

"I am your...what?" Karna asked very slowly. Urvi shivered at his husky and confused and frustrated tone.

"You are...", she breathed. "M-my..."

Urvi stopped as Karna scowled. He wanted her to complete. He was feeling so weird. He wanted to hear her say the next words.

"I should leave", she said but Karna instantly held her by her waist. (It may look unethical but now they were so informal with each other that none of them minded)

Urvi gasped.

"I am your what?" He asked. He stared in her eyes intently. All the meetings and banters flashed in mind like a film and then ended with her words now. Who was he to her?

While, everything about Karna, good or bad, flashed in Urvi's mind and how she desired to talk to Arjun about it.

And she realised that she started loving him.

Karna felt himself moving forward and she closed her eyes as he titled his head. Their faces were inches apart.

But...then...

He left her abruptly much to her disappointment.

"I am so sorry, Urvi", he said in horror. "I shouldn't have touched you. I don't know what took over me. You are getting married and I was...", Karna was angry with himself. What was he doing?

Urvi suddenly felt furious. Here, she realised that she loved him and was having the best and magical moment of her life and he had to...

"Listen...Angraj", she gritted her teeth and stormed closer to him as he gaped at her. "You are going to come in my swayamvar so that I can garland you. I will only marry you", she said firmly.

Karna shook his head and smiled at her amused. Unlike others, she was straightaway ordering him.

But...he liked it.

It's then he realised that he also wanted her as his wife.

"Trust me on that", he smirked making Urvi scrunch her face in confusion at his grin. "You are going to garland me only. Otherwise...I have a practice of abducting", he said.

Urvi blushed hearing it and ran away leaving Karn chuckling to himself.

Karna rushed in the balcony as his wives came waving at Urvi who was going on the chariot. Digvija and Vasudha were standing downstairs.

"Bye", Urvi said and waved as she turned back. She smiled at Karna who smiled at Urvi back. Urvi turned around and went.

"I will miss her", Supriya said emotionally. Karna noticed her tears and quickly wrapped an arm around her, pulling her closer.

"Maharaj!" They heard and turned around. A soldier was standing there looking at them.

"It's Kumar Duryodhan's letter. He's calling you and Queens along with Lady Digvija and Vasudha immediately. The people of Hastinapura are leaving for Indraprastha in large numbers. And they are protesting violently if tried to stop. The roads of the kingdom are scarily empty with most of them leaving", the soldier said.

Everyone widened their eyes hearing it. Digvija and Vasudha who had come there by then, raised their eyebrows in surprise.

"We need to leave, immediately", Karna ordered.

They went outside the palace and Karna stepped on the chariot while his wives, Digvija and Vasudha sat in palanquins.

They started their journey towards Hastinapura.

"I just hope, Duryodhan doesn't take the wrong decision in anger. If he takes any step, that angers the people, he will stake his position as crown Prince", Karna muttered to himself.

He was feeling panicked as he knew the distance was no less. He just wished to fly right now.

Hastinapura

"Why did you come back?" Screamed a girl in rage.

The second girl looked down as she fiddled with her fingers.

Vrishali

Her expressions

"You brainless. We are already struggling to go out of the kingdom and when you got the fortunate chance to pass the door, you returned back. Don't you apply your mind?" Her friend yelled at her.

"I-I forgot my anklets", she stuttered in tears as her friend's eyes softened.

Vrishali was extremely close to her grandmother and when she passed away, she gave anklets to her granddaughter.

Vrishali coming back to get them was totally understandable.

She rushed in her house and started searching for anklets.

Here, Karna finally entered in the kingdom and everyone made way for them. They were horrified seeing so many protests and people jumping on each other to get through the kingdom door.

Karna pulled a boy in his arms because he fell down and people were going to step on him to get pass the door.

He hugged the little eight year old boy close to his heart as the boy sobbed in his arms, still scared from everything. Karna was shocked seeing the ruckus.

"Are you alright?" He asked the little boy softly. The baby boy nodded at him.

"My parents", he cried.

"Don't worry. I am taking you to them", Karna cooed at him. He caressed his hair. He went towards the direction where the boy fell and saw his parents crying and begging him to give their son.

"I don't think getting pass the door is important than your child. Please don't loose hold on him", Karna said.

Their parents nodded hugging the boy.

Karna sighed seeing it. What was even happening? He turned around and froze seeing the girl in front.

Who was looking at him with shock and nervousness.

Vrishali
