As hastinapur royals accepted the proposal, the news spreaded fast as forestfire inside the maginificient palace.......

princes of hastinapur rushed towards elders, while Arjun went to fetch his bhabhishree, dushasan went to see on karna and shashirekha....... Kauravas and ashwattama teasing duryodhan but his reaction and expressions are blank as unused palm leaf....... Nivashini stood beside her mother, kunti is happy as she accepted for her marriage with yudhistir....

Duryodhan: matashree......

Ashwattama: maharani, is that is true? Mitra......

Gandhari: I understand your question ashwattama, and yes.......

Duryodhan: mataa......

Duryodhan dragged his word with reluctance,

Gandhari: what!!

Duryodhan abruptly paused, he knew he can't win against his mother......

Arjun informed devika about the marriage proposal which made her sad and dejected...... She refused to accompany him to sabha......

Here dushashan informed karna and rekha and asked them to join them soon.

Shashirekha: well, you go let me reside with princess devika.....

Karna: As queen of Avanti, you need to represent your kingdom...

Shashirekha: How can you talk like you don't know anything.....

Karna: I never cared about that, now come with me.......

He grabbed her with him to sabha......

Shashirekha: vasuuuu........

They were literally fighting as she is trying to loose his hold, it continued till they neared entrance of sabha making shashirekha to give up abruptly while glaring at him. he hold her arms pushing her infornt eventually entering inside while greeting the elders..... Shashirekha felt the awkwardest situation of her life, her breath hitched.......she cursed her past, making her to appear infront of her father as a stranger.....

Gandhari: putra, why are you not talking anything?

Duryodhan(mumbled): where you left me to......

Gandhari: what!!

Duryodhan: Mother let princess, tell her opinion..... I'm okay with any of your decision........

A familiar voice ringed through their ears....... A girl entered inside the sabha, followed by satyajit behind her.......

Satyajit: sikha.......

He murmermed standing behind her......

Satyajit: whatever I heard is true?

Sulochan: What did you heard?.....

Satyajit: marriage of sikhandini with......

Drupad: yes, sikhandini and Nivashini are going to be kulvadhu of kuruvansh.....

Drupad felt the strong heated gaze of sikhandini towards him......

Drupad: I too had my responsibility as a father, need to perform for his daughter.......

Satyajit: pitamah.....

He cried seeing his grandfather entering there, drupad sat ashtonished as his father never came out of his chamber in past years......

Prishata's eyes went towards bheesm and his mind flooded towards past....... Sikhandini went towards her grandfather helping him to sit on throne.

Drupad looked at his father helplessly, sikhandini's stare on him clearly stated her disinterest towards the idea of marriage.....

Prishata asked his granddaughter to sit infront of him. Shikhandini knelt infront of prishata, his hands runned through her cheeks, he is saying something to her, meanwhile glancing at drupad, he hold her hand, drupad seems to be relieved as he knew that his father can convince her daughter......

Prishata looked at the sabha......

Prishata: This auspicious avocation will take place without impediment. Mahraj dhirthrastr, I'm hoping you will not urge us with arrangements of marriage. Drupad need to reshape his territory which is going to be divided. Once we settled down later we can move the proposal further.......

Dhirthrastr: well.... We're happy with that rajpita......

Shashirekha went near duryodhan

Shashirekha: Rajkumar.....

Duryodhan: yes Avantirani....

Shashirekha: After marriage don't dare to hurt her or else you may need to face the wrath of m......

Dushashan: but, why bratha need to face YOUR WRATH......

Rekha stood rooted her lips stumbled for words....

Shashirekha: I mean.....I... You can't intrude like this before completing a scentence...... actually, I was about to tell MANY..... You need to face the wrath of many people. From whatever I heard she had good friendship with some formidable warriors......

She nerveously managed it with smile, while her eyebrows shrinked in embarrassment.......

Karna: uh, control your emotions Rekha...........

She left a long heap of breath. Karna went beside duryodhan making shashirekha to stand on his place.......

Karna: Mitra duryodhan, by knowingly or unknowingly you had accepted for a worst decision of your life..... Anyways all the best.......

Karna wished his friend in his sarcastic and sweet dripping voice.

Duryodhan: Mitra you're scaring me.......

Karna: It's reality dude, Enjoy your life being bachelor until the ceremonies starts.........

Duryodhan nodded karna turned and noticed that Shashi is glaring at him.

Karna: uh..... Did she heared that?

He thought within himself.... While passing a sheepish smile, she too reciprocated in a sarcastic manner.....

Shashirekha: worst decision.......

She asked him questiongly while dragging her words, folding her hands in chest and narrowing her eyebrows....

Karna: Actually Rekha............ Ouch......

He is in verge of shout but muffled it with his hand, while other side his hands are in urge to reach his foot............
