"Take care of her and inform me if she doesn't eat food", Karna said.

"Urvi, next time, I will slap you if you neglect yourself", Bhanumati scolded her as she smiled softly.

Karna got up and exited his chamber with his wives and Bhanumati coming behind them with Duryodhan who was consoling her, seeing her worried.

Duryodhan was really very excited for today.

They reached the court. The Ang-Queens along with Bhanumati went to the balcony and the ceremony begin.

Karna stared ahead with a smile on his face.

"Stop!" They heard and turned around. They saw Bhishma standing there. What did he want now? Karna thought in his mind.

"This ceremony won't take place", Bhishma said.

"Why?" Karna asked angrily.

"Because he's not the one who should be the king. When the eldest is alive", Bhishma said.

Abhilasha, Esha and Kalyani smiled hearing it.

"What? They died in Varnavrat. What are you even saying?" Duryodhan asked furiously but a wave of panic was visible in his tone.

"Well...they actually escaped and the ones who died were not them. You got fooled, putra", Bhishma said.

"They were living as brahmins. The one who Princess Draupadi married is Arjun only", Bhishma added.

He turned to face Karna. "As a warrior, you have the quality of recognising your rival's strength. Tell me if you think anyone could have done that challenge except you and Arjun? Anyone in mind?" Bhishma asked.

Karna thought deeply but then realised that it had to be Arjun only.

How stupid he could be to not notice that?

He looked above and the Panchal princesses nodded in positive.

Arjun was alive!

"Dharma is coming back to Hastinapura", Bhishma announced, smiling.

Duryodhan was ready to kill them again. He wouldn't let anyone snatch his position.

Karna's wives rushed downstairs and stood beside him.

"Come to the foyer", Bhishma said and they all went towards the foyer, near the palace stairs.

In moments, they saw seven people arriving. With smiles on their faces but they were clearly mocking ones. Reminding them their plan failed.

Pandavas, Kunti and Draupadi stood in front of Kuru elders, smiling widely.

Karna felt his eyes filling as he saw Kunti safe and secure.

Her eyes met his and he eyed her feet, wanting to touch them in his regret and shame. Kunti smiled lightly and looked ahead.

"Draupadi", Abhilasha, Esha and Kalyani squealed. "Sisters", Draupadi shrieked back happily. She rushed towards as the three also ran towards her and they hugged each other as tightly as they could.

"How are you three?" Draupadi asked.

"Happiest. Arya takes care of us a lot. He even took us to the river side where we seven played till evening", Kalyani ranted excitedly.

Karna got flushed. She didn't need to say that in front of everyone. Warriors are not supposed to show their soft side to anyone.

Everyone chuckled slowly seeing his red face.

"What about you?" Esha asked. Draupadi smiled. "Good. I am also taken care off. Mata treats me as if I am so precious, more than her sons, she's concerned about me", Draupadi said.

Kirti, Arundhati, Vrushali and Supriya went ahead.

All the seven Ang-Queens approached Kunti. Karna walked towards her as well. They all took her blessings as Kunti smiled.

"Keep progressing, son", Kunti blessed Karna.

"Saubhagyavati Bhava!" She blessed her seven daughter in laws.

Only if they also knew that she's their mother in law.
Karna's real mother.

"I am so delighted to see you all back", Bhishma said. The Pandavas rushed towards as they were pulled in a hug by him.

Bhishma cried happily after seeing his favourite grandsons. He was overwhelmed.

"Guru", The Pandavas said and hugged Dronacharya. They were pulled in a hug by Vidura and Sanjay. Then, they were immediately pulled in a hug by Gandhari and Dhritrashtra.

The King and Queen didn't know about Varnavrat at all.

"How are you Kunti?" Dhritrashtra asked. He was relieved that she was safe. Otherwise, what would he have answered his younger brother once he died.

"I am fine, bhrata shree. What about you?" Kunti asked.

"Won't you make us meet our daughter in law?" Gandhari asked her. "No. No. Bhabhi. I will definitely make her meet you", Kunti said.

"Putri Draupadi", Kunti said affectionately. Drupadi smiled and stepped towards Gandhari.

"Arjun. Come beside her. We need to welcome the newly weds", Bhishma ordered. That took away the smiles of Pandavas, Draupadi and Kunti.

They stood still.

Hastinapura Prison

Digvija was sitting by the wall.

She had her eyes closed. She was crying.

When she went back empty handed after Karna came.

"I told you that you can't do it", her mother said. "You are a girl", she added.

"We were almost successful, maa. How can you blame me?" Digvija asked.

"Who else is to be blamed? If your brother would have been leading then it wouldn't have happened", her father said.

"I wasn't running away. He pulled me to run. And you think we would have been successful if he led the team", Digvija said.

"He did right! You are a girl and if you got kidnapped then nobody would have accepted you. Stop being stupid. You are supposed to marry and nothing else. Don't be a burden on us", her mother said rudely.

That sentence hurt Digvija.

"I-I am a burden on you?" She asked.

"Of course! By your antics, you surely are", her father scoffed.

Digvija sobbed in pain.

She was forced to get engaged to some other pirate tribe leader and kept home arrested.

This increased her anger and she escaped somehow deciding to kill the one who became cause of her such misery.

And, now she was stuck in this prison.

Why was fate so cruel on her?

Hastinapura Palace Foyer

"What happened?" Bhishma asked confused seeing them standing still.

"W-we all brother are m-married", Yudhister stammered.

"Ok. So where are the other four daughter in laws?" Gandhari asked, excitedly.

"Draupadi is married to all five, Bhabhi", Kunti whispered.

Everyone got stunned hearing it.
