Morning came.

And, the time for Arjuna's departure as well.

Karn and his wives had arrived there. They saw how everybody was emotional.

Karna could notice the change in Draupadi's demeanour. She was trying to control her tears but she was failing. And, he knew that she loved Arjun immensely, even more than the other four.

Kunti hugged Arjun as he hugged her back. He took her blessings and she cried and blessed him.

Yudhister, Nakul and Sahdev pulled him in a light hug and cried while Bheem literally pounced on him and cried like a baby.

Draupadi touched his feet and kept crying, touching it, for a while. She folded her hands and got up. She looked down and looked up again. The request to him, to not go, could be seen on her face.

Arjun smiled shakily at her and moved back.

He turned around and walked forward. He stopped in front of Karna and his wives.

He folded his hands as he faced them and Karna nodded.

"Pranipat Kumar!" His wives said and looked at him with respect and concern and well wishes.

"Pranipat AngRani", he wished them back and moved forward.

Like this, he went, for twelve long years.

Draupadi kept sobbing and his wives proceeded towards her. His Panchali wives hugged their sister as she let out her pain, in their embrace.

After that, Bheem, Nakul and Sahdev took her inside.

Kunti smiled at Karna. "I will arrange food and then we can proceed to Hastinapura back", she said.

"Yes Mata", Karna smiled.

Kunti went as well.

Karn noticed Yudhister and he was clearly troubled. "Anything wrong, Dharmraj?" Karna asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Well...Angraj", Yudhister said. "I have been invited to Rajkumari Devika's swayamvar", Yudhister said. "By the Rajkumari herself", he said.

"Oh...and you want to go?" Karna asked, upset.

"Yagyaseni has been divided unfairly among you five and has been ever since, devoted to you. If you get an invite like this, she has rights to know about it. Discuss it with her and let her decide", Karna advised.

"But...she loves Arjun only", Yudhister said.

"Are you too naive or are you...", Karna sighed and stopped. "Kumar Yudhister, you can't know about others feelings. And, you shouldn't conclude if your will be affected or not. You should go and ask her. As a wife, it would pain her, if you don't ask her opinion and go and remarry. Talking only solves issues, over thinking worsens it", Karna said.

"Thank You, Angraj", Yudhister smiled. "I will go and talk with her", he added and went.

Karna noticed his wives giggling about Dussahan's wedding. He smiled.

Sivi Kingdom

"Stop walking to and fro, Devika", a voice said. "He will surely come".

"Kumar Yudhister is full of morals, Vedika", Devika said. "I fear that if Yagyaseni refuses, then he won't come. He would obviously not come here before telling her about my letter", she added worriedly.

(Vedika)

Vedika sighed seeing her cousin.

"Taatshree has been supportive to you, always. He will be now as well. Don't worry", Vedika said.

Devika nodded, though, little worried.

Indraprastha

Draupadi agreed to her husband's demand.

She knew that she should accept it as she was no one to stop her husband, according to the society. She was not a weak woman and reminded him about his promise, but when she saw his facial expressions, she knew she had to agree.

So, she had to agree.

Yudhister was leaving instantly for the kingdom.

Karna was also leaving for Hastinapura. He had some pending tasks there, after which, he would go back to Anga, to fulfill his duties as a king.

However, he was stopped 'again'.

"Yes Kumar", he said, to Yudhister, trying to hide his desperation to go back.

Kunti was confused as well.

"Can you come with me, to Sivi?" Yudhister asked him. Karna raised his eyebrows. Now, why was he asking this?

"Why?" Karna demanded as he stared at Yudhister, confused. He had no work there and he wanted to go and complete his actual works.

He had no interest in being with any Pandavas.

"I am actually a bit...", Yudhister trailed off and Karna understood. Yudhister was a lot shy and he had no knowledge in love and politics like his brothers. He just knew the word 'Dharma', nothing else.

Only if he had not let that happen with Shon...

He sighed.

"Why don't you ask any of your brothers? To accompany you?" Karna asked.

"Well...I want an...elder...", Yudhister said awkwardly. Karna realised then, obviously, you would want an elder in things like these and sadly Yudhister had no elder.

Karna felt nudges and knew what his wives were expecting.

"Ok", Karna said.

"I would take my wives with me", he declared.

Yudhister nodded happily. "Thank you Angraj", he said to Karn, genuinely, earning a nod from him.

Karna looked at Kunti. "I am sure you would like to stay here for a day more", Karna said and Kunti nodded, delighted.

Honestly, he felt bad for her. It was really cruel, the way, she got separated from her sons.

"Let's leave", Karna said.

His wives sat in palanquins. Khyati smiled as the twins giggled and enjoyed.

Karna stepped on the chariot and Yudhister stepped on his.

They left from there and Karna sent a messenger to Hastinapura, he knew Duryodhan won't take it lightly. He was worried for his reaction.

Sivi Kingdom

"Angraj is also coming", Devika announced, after hearing it from the spies.

Vedika was watering the plants on the balcony railing.

"Angraj Karna?" She asked.

"There's only one Angraj who's well known", Devika deadpanned.

Obviously, it was Angraj Karna.

"Rajkumari Devika, Rajkumari Vedika, you have been called by Maharaj and Maharani", the maid informed them.

The Princesses exchanged worried glances.

Will Yudhister reach on time?

"Let's go Devika. You can waste all the time in roaming and looking at the suitors. No one will stop you and I will introduce them slowly to kill the time. I am sure, they will reach by then", Vedika said, assuringly, as she held her sister's arm.

Devika hummed slowly.
