On a auspicious day yudhishthir and duryodhana coronated as yuvraj of kururastr..... After few days royal family of hastinapur headed towards panchal for upcoming marriage ceremony......

The capital of panchal is decorated like a new bride and everyone there was in festive mode..... The palace of panchal is in complete hustle at arrangements......

The day went off like that welcoming guests from other countries eventually by mid evening hastinapur royals arrived and Devi sulochana welcomed them according to royal decorum.....

And the next day some other guests form distance reached panchal. Hastinapur family along with dwaraka and panchal royals sat in a common chamber chit chatting minding their business....
Their attention got attracted by a kaurava brother ‘suvarma’

Suvarma: jyesth, bratha karna is arrived.....

Ashwatthama: really!!!!

Others also squealed in joy....

Bheesm: stupids! Behave like grownups!

Kauravas made face while sikhandini asked.

Sikhandini: he alone as came?

Suvarma: No, along with him bhabhi and mata too came...

This time it's sikhandini to feel joy, king drupad guided karna into common chamber. Everyone greeted king drupad and at instance duryodhan, satyajit and ashwattama ran towards karna and bumped into him....

Krishna: Excuse me princes! I will be glad if you leave my friend alone......

Duryodhana: Unfortunately, I can't make you glad madhav!

Krishna made a pout while Shashirekha came near him...

Krishna: oh my dear jiji! See no one is minding me here.....

Krishna cried dramatically.

Shashirekha: Dramebaaz, stop your drama for some time....

Karna and Rekha greeted others....

Gandhari: putra! Where's your mother? Suvarma said she came with you.

Karna: Ah...aa.... Mata was not feeling quite well and she got tired of long journey. So i asked her to rest....

Satyajit: bratha, we have planned for picnic by evening and you should come with us.....

Karna: will you leave me if I said no!

Ashwattama: definitely not!

Karna: Then!

He sighed and looked for shashi and she went out of room with sikhandini.....

As planned, by evening satyajit took his friends for a round around capital city and settled near a waterfalls scenery.... Everyone enjoyed being in that place, some kauravas jumped into water, while yuyustu sat leaning towards tree and took a thick leaf he started to draw the scenery with the ink and feather which he always carries around..... Shashirekha and sikhandini sat on a shore bridge dipping their feets into water.......

Satyajit: Bratha!!!.....  He called karna and signed him to look at shore bridge.....

Karna too understand his intentions and both hi fied behind the back of duryodhana.....

Karna went towards shashirekha....

Karna: princess if you don't mind..... Rey, please come with me....

Shashirekha: but Arya....

Karna: one minute...

He hold her hand and took her with him.....

Satyajit went beside ashwattama and leaned near his ears..

Satya: mitr, I will go to sister and talk, you ask duryodhana to come there to sister....

Ashwattama: But what will I say to him?

Satya: Anything, just make him to talk to sister.....

Ashwattama: Any reasons is ok right?

Satya: yeah it's fiiiinee....

He hurriedly went near sikhandini.....

Satyajit: sikha....

Sikhandini: oh yes busy man....

Satyajit: not time for teasing sister.... Actually mitr duryodhana wanted to talk to you and he is asking your permission...

Sikhandini: why me?

Satyajit: Don't know, but wait I will ask him to come here.......

Here with duryodhana,

Ashwattama: Mitr, sikha wanted to talk to you and she asked you come to shore bridge.....

Duryodhana: But why?

Ashwattama: who knows maybe she want to ask forgive for that day.

Duryodhana: which day?

Ashwattama: oh man did you forget? That day karna's vivah and her fight with you?

Duryodhana: so be it, if she want to ask forgiveness, why would she herself not come to me? Am I her servant to go whenever she calls me?

Ashwattama: Mitr, not your ego should grow at this instance. Please go....

Duryodhana: well as you are persuading me much. I will go.

Ashwattama huffed in relaxation meanwhile satyajit came towards them. Duryodhan left and other both went towards karna who came a little distance from place....

Shashirekha: vasu, why did you bring me here! Can you tell me the reason...

Karna: who knows! Ask your dear brother.

He said looking ashwattama and satyajit who are coming towards them.....

At instance they reached

Shashirekha: Mind to explain me about these weird behaviour....

Ashwattama said about their plan..

Satyajit: If they talk with each other for some time, they will get close to each other. If not that, atleast it will erase their bad impression on each.....

Shashirekha: All these were as drudgery...

She slapped her forehead while both of them stood like obedient children. Rekha looked at karna and asked,

Shashirekha: you too involved in this?

Karna: Nah, my part is just to keep you away from her.... I don't know about their exact intention till they said...........

Shashirekha: I'm not thinking it may work out.

Karna: Even I'm feeling some uncertainty.....

Satyajit: oh brother, please don't say like that.... But.......

He looked at ashwattama.

ashwa: Even I'm feeling unsureness.

Satya: Mahadhevaaaa.......

Duryodhan came near sikhandini and made some noise to gain her attention, she turned to see him and glanced a while...

Duryodhana: May I sit there?

He showed towards the empty place beside her and sikhandini nodded in accepting it..... Both sat beside each other while situation is like a fish out of water.........
