"I will marry her", Karna declared.
"I know you will take a wise decision", Duryodhan smiled at him and patted his shoulder.
"Let's sleep for now", Duryodhan said further.
Karna nodded in agreement. He was troubled and he knew his mind required peace right now. So, he quickly went in his room to sleep.
Morning
Karna was ready in his attire with his wives.
(Kirti's outfit)
(Vrushali's outfit)
(Supriya's outfit)
They were ready to go to the royal court. They went outside their room.
"When are your parents coming back? Kirti", Karna asked. After the attack, her parents were not at mental peace. Assured, their kingdom was safe in the hands of chief minister, Kirti's uncle, they went in a nearby Ashram for some time.
"They will come back by today, Arya", Kirti replied. Karna nodded at her.
They met Urvi on the way.
She looked beautiful!
(Urvi's outfit)
"You will accompany us to the royal court?" Vrushali asked. "Better than getting bored", Urvi muttered. Karna chuckled hearing it.
"I don't think the Pandavas are alive, Urvi", Karna sighed. "I thought about all possibilities and then I came to this conclusion. They are dead", Karna said.
"Hmm", Urvi said as tears filled in her eyes. "I don't think I will come to the royal court, now", she whispered and turned to go. "Urvi", The three Queens whispered sadly.
Karna held Urvi's hand before she could move. "You are coming to the royal court, Urvi", he said sternly. "I don't want to", Urvi whined as she faced him. "Well...would your best friend like if you lock yourself in a room and cry? He would want you to be strong and face the reality, isn't it?" Karna asked.
Urvi nodded hesitantly. They continued their journey to the court.
They entered inside the court as the announcement of their arrival was made, "Angraj Karna is here with his wives and Princess Urvi from Pukhya kingdom", the soldier said and everybody rose from their seats as per the rules of the court, to welcome Anga royalty and Princess Urvi.
Karna folded his hands and greeted them followed by the four women. Anga Queens and Urvi moved up the stairs.
(The Queens stand in the balcony type set up to view the court proceedings below. Just like Star plus Mahabharata royal court but the court structure is of Suryaputra Karn otherwise. Just the Queen one's if of Star plus)
Karna proceeded to sit on his seat. "I am here to make an important announcement today", Duryodhan said. "May I have the permission, pitashree?" Duryodhan asked. "Yes son", Dhritrashtra said.
"Yesterday, Princess Arundhati was offered for marriage with Anga Raj, Karna. On the wishes of her father, The king. However, Karna had refused for marriage", Duryodhan said.
"However, the society there abandons a rejected girl and saving her from society is the duty of Karna as a king. So, he is marrying her", Duryodhan said.
All sat tensed hearing it.
"Wait", Vikarna said. "Marrying is the only option? We can do something to save her from abandonment by any other way. Why should Angraj marry?" He asked.
"You can't change mindset of people in a day son", Bhishma said. "He needs to marry the Princess", he added.
"With this declaration, let's proceed and then dismiss the court after all work is done", Duryodhan said.
Panchal
"Draupadi, pitashree is planning the swayamvar of us four", Abhilasha said. "He hates me", Draupadi said.
"I will make his hatred turn love for you. No father can hate his kid", Esha assured. Draupadi sighed and nodded.
Her sisters hugged her.
"Sakhi", they heard and saw Lord Krishna standing there. As long as I am here, you don't need to be upset about anything", he assured.
"Sakha. How can you stay so positive in every situation?" Kalyani asked.
Krishna just smiled.
Hastinapura
The court was over quite early today. Karna was going to meet Paurava King and Queen to bid farewell to them. When he saw Arundhati crying in the room given to her with her father consoling her.
(Arundhati's outfit)
"Putri, everyone know you are rejected and no one wants you back. I am forced to leave you in a forest", her father said. Arundhati closed her eyes hearing it.
"I will accept this as my fate, Pitashree. Don't worry", she gave a pained smile.
"I am sorry but you can't go anywhere", Karna entered in the room. Arundhati and her father looked at him. "Why?" She asked.
"Because you can't leave your husband's place. You can't be alone", Karna said calmly. "I am marrying you Arundhati", he said after seeing them confused.
Arundhati gasped hearing it. "What?" She asked. "Yes, I am marrying you today itself", Karna declared.
Arundhati was relieved from the fear of abandonment and equally happy. She rushed in his arms and hugged him. Karna was surprised as she started crying. He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her back.
Her father looked really grateful.
Guest Room
"Are you upset? Kirti", asked her mother.
Kirti sighed and smiled softly. "No, maa", she said. "It's just natural. He's my husband so I...", Kirti gulped.
Supriya was not happy too along with Vrushali. So, they went with Urvi to Gandhari. Kirti had her parents and she preferred to go to them.
Wrong Choice! Her parents were only there to give her pain. Nothing else.
"You shouldn't be upset", her mother said. "Huh?" Kirti asked. "You also took him and requested him to marry you", her father said.
"He was forced to marry you otherwise he loved someone else so you shouldn't be upset over it. His marriage with Arundhati is happening in the same way, it happened with you", her father explained.
Kirti felt her heart drop hearing it.
Tears filled in her eyes. He didn't love her. Maybe, he doesn't love her at all.
She started sobbing.
Arundhati's room
"The maids will help you get ready", Karna said softly. Arundhati nodded with a smile as the king and Karna left her with the maids.
"Thank you so much, Angraj", Vaanar king said.
Karna smiled in response. "I need to meet my in laws. I will see you later", Karna said. Vaanar king nodded smiling and Karna went.
