Hiii my lovely readers ❤️❤️❤️

When Duryodhan left the room, he saw the outside window of the playing room's curtain fluttering. He sensed someone was here. He just go in the direction and pulled out his little knife(Khanjar) he tucked on his waistline. And flew in the direction of the sound.

He saw it was a girl.

Duryodhan (angry voice)- You!!!! Whoever you are, turn around and show yourself.

She turned slowly.

It was Urvi as all you guessed.

Urvi had reached Hastinapur palace and was searching for Pitamah first. She lost her way in the palace as she came after so many days and when she first come here she is with Subhadra who knows everywhere of the palace. The whole palace looks same and confusing.

She asked a daasi who told her the way, but when she heard a giggling and laughing sound from afar she had a feeling, it was Karna's.

For a nanosecond she got jealous knowing Karna was with some other woman but after a moment she mentally slapped herself saying she loves Karna immensely and there is no place for jealousy in love.

But she couldn't control her curiosity to know who he is with. She walked fast and then slowed her pace and stood near a window hiding in the curtain.

She saw Karna grunting and saying, 'hmm... Focus'. She had to put her hand over her mouth as she would have laughed. Once he had told the same to her. So like him.

He was playing with a pretty lady. Who must be she??? Who must be she??? Remember!!! Duryodhan's wife, Bhanumati. Yeah!!! She must be her. She(Bhanumati) comes after Urvi was gone.

She looked at Bhanumati closely. Her expressions doesn't says she is mooning over Karna, her first thought. And what now, they are bickering like kids. She pouted.

She could see from the vantage point that Duryodhan was entering the playroom, Karna's back was at the door. And when he entered, Bhanumati stood and Karna tried to hold her hand, but her pallu comes in his hand and got pulled.

Oh my god!!!!!

What Duryodhan will think??? For a moment she herself thought if she were a man and someone was holding his wife like that, he has reasons to think wrong.

Urvi thought, now this is the moment when Karna knows about the true colour of Duryodhan. Atleast that would made him detached from Duryodhan and the whole Mahabharat wouldn't happen.

But thinking about Karna, she thought, it would be the greatest blow in his friendship. He would shatter knowing Duryodhan's disbelief in him. What a disastrous situation is this!!!

What Duryodhan did shook Urvi from inside out. He not only handled the situation casually, but put his utmost faith in his wife and friend.

Do everyone thinks Duryodhan as a bad guy and made him a stereotype of an evil???? Did I think the same about him??? What he did for Karna today... He had earned her respect for him today. Karna couldn't befriend a wrong man. Maybe he has been wronged like Karna as well.

Respect!!!! She thought about him. Yes. What he did, made him a most honorable man in her eyes.

She had to leave now. She didn't want to be caught, but unfortunately, a knife flew just an inch beside her and struck the pillar.

Duryodhan (angry voice)- You!!!! Whoever you are, turn around and show yourself.

Urvi was hell-shocked, but turned with a normal expression. When Duryodhan saw her, he was somewhat stunned.

Duryodhan(gruffly)- What are you doing here, Urvi???

Urvi (normally, but her heart beating fast)- Pranipaat Prince Duryodhan.

Duryodhan- Pranipaat! So eavesdropping on Karna now???

Urvi paled to white.

Urvi- No.. no.. I.. I was looking for Kunti Bua (lying, she couldn't tell him, she was searching for Pitamah). I lost my way.

Duryodhan- Did you get hurt???

Urvi- No! No! I'm fine. You carry on your way. I'll find myself out.

Duryodhan turned to leave. But Urvi was again curious about what happened right now. She couldn't leave any stones unturned.

Urvi- Prince Duryodhan???!!!

Duryodhan (turned to answer her)- Yes!!!

Urvi- I know that you know that I was there. Can I ask you something???

Duryodhan lifted one eyebrow.

Urvi (continued)- What just happened... You've got every right to misunderstood the situation, even I for a fleeting moment got jealous knowing Karna was talking to a woman. But you're a husband... And you know... (She didn't know how to say the fact).

Duryodhan (challenging)- Do you love Karna???

These peoples... Why she asks them questions and they questions me something else.

Urvi (lifting her chin and looking in his eyes)- I love him the most.

Duryodhan- And were you for a moment thought he would betray you???

Urvi- Never. I was jealous for the other woman.

Duryodhan- Since you don't know the woman, it was obvious you would feel jealous. But I know both of them. One my better half. And one the other half of my heart. They'll never ever betray in my life. My breathing might betray me but not them. I love them both and and there's no place of jealousy, suspicion, and disbelief in a loving relationship.

Urvi was stunned hearing Duryodhan's words. Indeed honorable!!! .

Urvi- I respect you for what you did. It would have shattered My... It would have shattered Karna's heart if you had thought otherwise. Thank you!!!

Duryodhan- No need to mention. I love him too, more than a brother.

Urvi (lifting her chin more)- Good. If you had broken his heart, you would have regretted why you were born. I wouldn't had left you.

A little of the smile tugged on his tightened lips. He could see why Karna has fallen hard for this crazy woman.

Duryodhan- You have my approval.

Urvi (quizzically)- for what????

Duryodhan- To have Karna. And if you break his heart you'll be answerable to me. Got that.

What!!! He is saying as if he own Karna, but his concern for Karna melt her heart. Karna loves him so much that he couldn't see anything beyond his friendship.

Urvi (grinning)- very well. We understand each other. Peace. (She extended her for a handshake, he looked at her as if she is really crazy. But shook. If she makes Karna happy, he can heartily welcome her as well).

Duryodhan- Peace.

And with that both carried on their respective ways.
