Sorry couldn't update sooner because my online classes have started. 

Better late than never. ❤️❤️❤️

Bhanumati was told by her confidant maid what happened between Pandavas and her Arya. She couldn't believe her luck that he said he wants to end the enmity. This soon. Unbelievable.

Thank you God, she made a quick prayer.

When Duryodhan came in the bedchamber, she rushed to him.

Duryodhan(amusingly)- How many times I've told you not to run like a crazy. My little kiddos will be born with running legs.

She stopped and looked at her tummy.

Bhanu- Your father is only kidding. Don't listen to him.

Duryodhan chuckled at her childish behaviour and walked towards her. He knelt before her and talked to his unborn kids.

Duryodhan- Your mother thinks only she knows best. Don't listen to her. Listen to me only.

He gave a soft kiss to them.

Bhanu laughed. She has never thought being married could be this heartwarming. She ran her fingers gently on his silken hair.

Bhanu(softly)- I know what you did today. Thank you.

He stood and rolled his eyes bemusedly.

Duryodhan(teasing)- I didn't do it for you.

Bhanu grinned on his sweet lie.

Bhanu- Still. Thank you.

She gave a quick peck on his cheek. He was beaming at her lovingly. He loves the way she praised him for this little and mundane things. It made him feel that his soul is cleansing of all bitter memories.

Duryodhan snaked his bulky arm around her waist and pulled her towards him playfully.

Duryodhan(huskily)- I will not be contented just by a quick kiss on my cheek, princess Bhanumati.

Bhanu(chuckling)- Then how can I help you, prince Duryodhan??? You said you didn't do it for me!!!

Their teasing bantering happened for awhile until it turned into a fit of giggles, praises, hugs and kisses.

Urvi couldn't believe herself that she has woken this late. The sun is almost over her head, it means it's getting midnoon.

How could be so careless when she has such a short time. But when she was snuggled in the cozy haven of Karna's arms, she felt carefree and secured.
Safe.

Karna already have visited the palace and now he has gone to fill groceries for his home before leaving Hastinapur. So like him. Caring and concerned.

What should I do today, thought Urvi anxiously.

This feeling of anxiety was nothing but like some pre-exams jitters. Until she sees her exam papers she felt anxious and after seeing it she sighed relief. The same is true to this situation. Couldn't Govind, Lord Krishna would have said clearly what's this all about. But no, he and his puzzles.

She frantically came in Hastinapur palace.

What would Bhanu will be thinking, that she has burdened her with such a big responsibility and become invisible.

She told the royal guards to inform Bhanu of her arrival.
Bhanu received her in her common chamber.

Urvi(impulsively)- Bhanu.. I'm so sorry... I slept for so long... And I burdened you with so many things... What's the status???

Bhanu chuckled and held Urvi's hands.

Bhanu- Breathe.

They laughed softly.

Bhanu(sadly)- I'm so sorry Urvi, but Arya is not convinced to go to Anga...

Urvi- It's okay. Please don't be sad.

Bhanu cheerfully told Everything that happened today and how she wanted her husband to end the enmity and how he concurred to her wishes so quickly.

Urvi- Oh my God!!! You have done the impossible. This is a great beginning. Gosh, Bhanu.. I can't thank you more.

Bhanu blushed.

Bhanu- He make it possible.

Urvi- No, you made it possible. But why doesn't he want to go to Anga???

Duryodhan came from his chamber and joined them, hearing her last Statement.

Duryodhan- Because he wants that his Mitra would spend some time with you, silly girl.

Urvi smiled faintly. She is so lucky to have friends like them. And above all Karna.

Urvi- Duryodhan, that's so sweet... But I was thinking that you two should accompany us.

Duryodhan got concerned by hearing a desperate tone in her voice.

Duryodhan- What is it, Urvi???

Urvi was hesitant to tell him anything or how much she could tell him.

Duryodhan hold Urvi's arm lightly.

Duryodhan(softly)- You always said to me that I'm like your brother... But couldn't you trust me enough to tell me if something's troubling you???

Bhanu (concerned)- Urvi, you can tell us. What is it dear???

It was Urvi's undoing. She spoke to Duryodhan.

Urvi- I don't know. I really don't know what is it, but you and Karna are in danger.

Bhanu- What???!!!

Duryodhan (warily)- Danger?! What kind of danger???

Urvi was so tensed that she started pacing in the room, left and right. She thought, Govind have told about the consequences and she was afraid that if she reveals too much, then she wouldn't vanish from here. Nonetheless, it's her last day in Hastinapur. What worst could really happen?

Urvi- Okay, before anything... I would like to say that whatever  I'm saying I'm telling the truth only. I have no proofs of anything but still they are hundred percent truth. Would you two believe in me???

Bhanu and Duryodhan looked at each other then nodded.

Urvi(to Duryodhan)- Have Mamashree told you anything about Vārnavrat???

Duryodhan- I haven't got any opportunity to speak to him as I was busy with my wife's health issue.

Urvi- And thank God for it. You wouldn't believe that Mamashree was hatching an evil plot of Lākshagriha.

Bhanu- Lākshagriha???!!!

Urvi- Yeah! He was planning to burn all the Pandavas on the palace made up of Lac and he would have weighed it on for the purpose of making Duryodhan as Yuvaraj.

Bhanu and Duryodhan were flabbergasted. It was a savage plan.

Duryodhan- I.. I can't believe it.

Urvi- But it's the truth Duryodhan. He was using you as your pawn for all the unjust things happened in his life.

Urvi told about the past of Mamashree Shakuni told by Pitamah. (Chapter 35).

Urvi- It isn't your fault, Duryodhan what happened in his life. You cannot fulfill his unquenchable hunger for revenge. If you fall in his trap eventually Karna would also be caught and that would lead to disaster and nothing else.

Seeing the unbelievable expression on Duryodhan's face she got worried.

Urvi- I know it would be hard to believe that the person who you always thought as your well-wisher is your greatest adversity, but this is the truth. You go and ask to your Mamashree that you wants to be the Yuvaraj right now, he would give you this exact plan.

Duryodhan(doubtfully)- Are you a spy, Urvi???

Urvi(stunned)- No, no, no. I swear on my love for Karna that I'm not a spy or something. I was observing all this happening peculiarly so that I can see what everyone is thinking. Even I doubted you on first to be using Karna on that day of tournament... But you turned to be a good man. I'm so happy for it. Don't let anyone ruin your life, Duryodhan. I beg of you. You couldn't even think what would happen. And if anything happens to Karna, I'll die.

Duryodhan saw the sincerity and authenticity in Urvi's eyes. He knew she loves Karna the most and she wouldn't lie on his name.
He believed her.

Duryodhan- But why do we have to go Anga??? Couldn't we tell everyone of what's happening???

Urvi's head pounded. She really has no idea why she is pressing on going to Anga. By tomorrow, she would be in Dwarka and she could only ensure their safety if they are in the security of Karna's protection. He wouldn't let anything happens to anyone.

Urvi- I appreciate what you did today ..  but If you would be still here, now or then you will have a fight with the Pandavas... It's better if you could be safe in Karna's palace. And moreover Karna needs you. I am counting on you to give your support to Karna.

Duryodhan- I will give my life for him.

Urvi- And Karna will do the same. But where would that leave me and Bhanu if anything happens to you both.

A stricken expression came in Duryodhan's face.

Urvi has no idea at all why she is saying all this but she wants to make the best of the situation. It's coming automatically to her.

Urvi- Suppose... God forbid if anything happens to you what would happen to Bhanu??? She is pregnant with your children and with you gone, she wouldn't have anything to hope for. Your kids will fight with the Pandavas and their children to have their rightful place in the palace and the whole thing that happened to you and Pandavas would repeat again and again.

Duryodhan(harshly)- Nothing is going to happen like that!

Urvi held Duryodhan hand on hers.

Urvi- I really wish it doesn't happen at all like that... But it happened to Kunti Maa. She did what would any woman had done if put in that condition. She fought for herself and her sons. I know Duryodhan you want to end the enmity... So end it to its root. Ask for forgiveness from Kunti maa. Her approval to you means Pandavas ending the enmity too. If not for anyone, do it for Karna. If anything happened to you or the Pandavas, Karna would always regret it.

Duryodhan brooded deeply over what Urvi said.

Urvi has made a mishmash of all the matter because of the scare and panic she was feeling.

Duryodhan(questioningly)- How would my Mitra  be affected by our enmity, Urvi. Tell me what's you are hiding more???!!!

Urvi paled over her naivety. How could she have slipped this important piece of information.

When Duryodhan saw that Urvi wasn't going to speak, he held her arms and shook her.

Duryodhan (harshly)- How, Urvi???!!!

No response.

Duryodhan shook her again.

Duryodhan- Speak up, dammit!

Bhanu- Arya! What are you doing???!!!

Duryodhan ignored her. His focus was fully on Urvi.

Duryodhan- Last chance... Or else 'Karna' will decide what's going to happen to you!

Duryodhan has always called Karna as his Mitra but for the first time he said his name. The frantic behaviour of Urvi has put him in an exaggerated situation. He was feeling antsy, he never felt before. There is something deeper about this circumstances which Urvi knows and wasn't telling.

Duryodhan- Urvi! Last chance!

Urvi(astounded)- Please don't.

Duryodhan(shouting)- Then tell me!!!

Duryodhan didn't want to yell at her, but he was enraged over the fact that it's not something to take lightly. He is concerned for all of them.

Urvi flinched. She was already lose her in emotions and with Duryodhan yelling at her, she started to cry.

Urvi (abruptly)- Karna is your Jyesta Bhrata!!!
