Chapter Ninety Six
In the next two days, Karna ended up marrying the three princesses. And, he received the news that Meghna got pregnant.
He was getting congratulations for both his wedding and another blessing to become a father.
It became hectic with so many guests. He just wanted to rest.
"Thank you", he smiled as someone else also congratulated him. He sighed afterwards.
He looked at his three wives, Tushita, Trinetra and Triguna. They were feeling equally exhausted. "Abhilasha", Karna called out and she came near him.
"Yes Arya", she said sweetly.
"Look...you four go in the common chamber now. You look very tired", Karna said. Abhilasha nodded and took the three.
The hall was hustling and bustling. While the pregnant kuru ladies were at Hastinapur only, many had come along with many Kauravas, while some stayed to handle the works.
"Angraj", he looked on as the Chedi princesses (the good ones) approached him. He smiled in welcome.
"Congratulations on your wedding, Angraj", Jagriti, Gopika, Gargi, Grishma and Rishika said smiling.
"Thank you", Karna smiled.
"Angraj. We wanted to meet Anga queens. Is it possible?" Gopika asked him.
"They are in the common chamber. I will guide you. Let me inform Duryodhan about my absence", he said.
Karna went towards Duryodhan. "Mitr. I am just taking the princesses to meet Anga queens. In case anybody is looking for me", Karna said.
"Ok. Return soon", Duryodhan said.
Karna nodded and took the five princesses. The princesses entered inside the common chamber along with Karna.
The scene in front was adorable. The queens were sitting on their beds. Some had baby beds beside their beds and the children were sleeping in them. The twins were sleeping on either sides of their mother (Khyati) on the bed. And, many had baby bumps.
The newly wed brides were sitting on their beds too, their faces glowing in bridal glow.
The scene was just mesmerising.
The queens looked on surprised. "They wanted to meet you", Karna said and they smiled.
Karna pointed to the couch, a big couch, where he sits. "You five can occupy that place", he said. It was a massive and royal couch.
The five giggled and went towards the couch. They sat on it.
Karna decided to leave them alone and go back in the procession as somebody had to be there.
He was walking back. "Angraj", he heard and looked at that side to see Gambhira was sitting on the floor. He looked on confused and went towards her.
"Gambhira, are you alright?" He asked her worriedly.
"My leg started paining suddenly. I am not able to walk", she said and looked at her right leg.
Karna couldn't touch her so how would he help her? "Wait. Let me call your sisters. I saw Nitara. I will send her", Karna said.
Gambhira controlled the urge to shout no. She was faking it to just get picked by him and he would ruin it.
"I can't control it. It pains a lot. I won't be able to wait", Gambhira said.
Karna looked troubled.
"S-should I pick you up?" He asked hesitantly, finding no way out and worrying that she would take it in the wrong way, while reality was totally opposite.
"Yes", Gambhira said slowly and smiling mentally but not showing it on her face.
Karna picked her up in his arms and Gambhira felt her heart swelling with happiness. He took her in her chamber. He made her lie on the bed and tucked her in the blanket. He adjusted the pillow under her leg as per her comfort.
"I will send the royal doctor and your sisters", he said.
"No", Gambhira said quickly and Karna looked at her. "I mean...It's fine Angraj. Thank you. I will get fine soon", Gambhira said.
Karna frowned. "Trust me, Angraj", she said. Karna nodded and after glancing at her to check she was ok, he left for the hall where everyone were.
Gambhira quickly got out of the bed and jumped. As if she just didn't tell Karna that her leg was paining a lot.
"You are so sweet", she said to herself and clasped her hands.
"I loved the feeling when I was in your arms. I will be your wife soon. I will do anything. Even if it means kicking Arundhati...in fact all your wives out of my way", Gambhira said.
She was so lost in her own world that she didn't see, someone actually heard her.
And, they were her and Arundhati's sisters, looking horrified as she talked with herself about how she will separate Angraj from his Wives and get him.
Here, Karna was bidding farewell to all the guests after they had eaten food.
"Come to Hastinapura soon", Duryodhan said and Karna smiled and nodded.
Chedi princesses, Vandana, Kundini and Shrishti approached him. The other five were with his wives only.
"Thank God, you married minister's daughters this time", Vandana said. "Otherwise we thought you will end up marrying dancers only", Kundini added. "Like Vanshika", Shrishti said.
Karna's eyes darkened. "Whatever your father tried to do with her was inhumane. And, don't bring my wives in it", Karna said angrily.
"Our father can never be wrong, Angraj", Vandana said. "It was her who refused at the first place. She was getting money, luxury, the best room in the courtesans quarters. She rejected it", Kundini said. "She was getting selected by the king himself", Shrishti added.
"The other five are surely sweet but seeing you three, I can definitely say", Karna said. The three looked at him.
"Like father, like daughters".
Do you want Gambhira to do something and Karn's wives in danger and how he protects them?
