Chapter 19
Karn looks at krishna and in one look he knows its Aahanna who will be his bride, Duryodhana, Ashwathama, who both had some form of attachment to Aahana even though they had never met her question his decision and even before Karn can reply Arjun supports saying he has made a promise and should follow what he said as that is his dharma. He also mentions that he considers Aahana as his sister-in-law and Draupadi's sister and so will make sure she is not wronged.
Arjun goes to Krishna and says "you too hold Aahana dear to your he art, so why are you getting him married to someone else." Duryodhana and Ashwathama support Arjun and say they will help him make sure Karn is not married to anyone else. Karn, bhagwan Pashurama and mata Dharini all internally laughing at the scene. Kunti watches the other of Karn and arjun and gets teary.
Krishna says that the marriage will happen today and they should enjoy the celebrations, Karn says Vasudev is correct and i am willingly getting married and no vow will be broken.The royals of Kosala now arrive; Ahanna's parents and her brother are the ones who are out of the chariot first while Aahanna remains seated in the palanquin. The Kosala royals are identified and Bhishma and most royals are shocked but they move and welcome the royal and politely ask for the reason for their arrival. The reply that they are here for the wedding stuns everyone as it was not really known elsewhere that a wedding will take place.
While bhagwan Pashurama comes forward and then says it is time to bring the bride and Krishna who was amused at all the reactions says i will bring her.Karn as told sits at the mandap and waits as Krishna brings his bride. Aahana's beauty astounds all the spectators, believing their eyes were difficult for most because she looked heavenly. Karn however was holding his emotions as he finally felt complete.
All who had seen Aahanna from karn's painting or in person during Draupadi's wedding seem relaxed now and the rituals are soon completed. The two newlyweds take blessings of all elders and that's when, seeing Karn happily get married Bhishma understands she is the one. Seeing her with the Kosala royal shakuni who had been quiet for too long asks the royals of Kosala if the bride is the queen of Kosala, with the positive response, the rest are shocked.
Radha and Adirath are shocked and also most attendees are wondering if she is a queen isn't she supposed to be married, Shakuni who had little information brings this out and asks the royals of Kosala why they betray Karn by getting him married to a married female.
Karn says she is his wife and she was the one he has been waiting for, and yes she was married and he was the groom the first time as well. He goes on to say that anyone raising a voice against her is insulting me and I will not take that politely. Ahanna senses his anger and hold his arm and slowly move one hand closer to his heart telling him that she will explain why she was away and also how she is the queen of Kosala
She then explains how the curse of tetra yug had made her stay away from her original family for her whole life, only meeting them two days back. She told them the specifics of how she broke the stone figure just by touching it and also how it was prophesied that she is going to be the next Queen. My family had never been a part of my life and I wanted them to be a part of my marriage, while the plan of hiding the bride till last minute was of Bhrata Krishna who you know is known for his pranks.
Karn says i know, i was just scared of breaking my promise to you because i felt a connection and when i had seen you unconscious that day i felt my breath sucked out of me. I never wanted to see you hurt, I am glad to have you back, though I heard that you are the queen of Kosala and their first daughter. I also want to know where you were just out of curiosity, as I did send many spies to find anyone called Aahanna but there was no result from there. Also I want to give you this gift for our marriage, and he takes out the painting he made after their wedding.
She looks back at him after looking at the painting as if questioning why he is giving it to her, he replies looking at the painting calmed me down and helped me all those nights you were away it has always been with me. Now that you're here I would love to look at the originator of the painting since that does not do much justice to your beauty. Aahana smiles and says i believe i am lucky to be married to you i do apologise for being away and let me begin explaining what i can about my past.
I actually want to share my life with you, i am sure you all must know how draupadi was born, that day not only her but i too had emerged from the flames, though no one had any idea of this except for Kanha, i had been in a soul form, no physical body and was told that only when i meet my soulmate will i get my body. I have no idea why all this happened but with that i had been waiting to meet my soulmate, that day came the same day i met you. We had bumped into each other and that's when I instantly got a body. It was all really quick and the dacoits surrounding us did not let me ponder much. And you adorning my forehead with your blood as we fought once again bonded us physically to each other just like our souls have been eternally bonded.
