Duryodhan, Ashwatthama , karn dushala dushasan vikarn yuyutsu and many other Kauravas paved their way towards lanka . No one had mood to attend swayamvar of lanka Rajkumari but as their pitamaha insisted they thought this would be a break to them from everyday roasting.

"Bhrata karn hamari tho majboori hai par apne kyun chalne ke liye man liya" vikarn asked him

"Vasudev said that there are chances of  vritika coming there this is the reason and I don't have mood to participate in swayamvar" he said with a non interested tone

"Good if you are going to win that competition then I will bury you alive in lanka karn understand" Ashwatthama warned him to which karn nodded slightly fearing to offend a over protective brother in him

"That's good I won't accept anyone except my bhabhi as your wife understood mitr" Duryodhan said in firm voice making him gulp . Little talks banter was going on all the way till they have reached ramsetu

Many princes and kings of different kingdoms were present there waiting for the permission to cross the sea one by one all of them has passed over ramsetu as there weren't any other modes of transport

Karn and others were admiring the scene in front of them the bridge was 30km long and it is the only possible way to reach lanka

Soon the land was visible to them they continued to walk further. A huge wall around the palace which was more than 30 feet long was appeared blocking their way further gates of the wall were opened as all of them reached

A huge person who was large and bulk more than a normal person of dwapur yug could be . Darker in complexion nearly 8 to 9 feet tall a king aura was surrounding him .

"Pranipat sabhi raja aur rajkumaro asha karta hun ki ap ki yatra sukad rahi hai mein lankadeesh Vibhishan ap sabko lanka mein savagat keliye parstut hu" he said making all of them to see him with admiration , as he was one of the immortals whom they can meet

"Pranipat maharaj we are glad to meet you" karn who came forward and spoke "Pranipat samrat karn as promised you have come it's nice to see you here please feel yourself as at home my niece anwita will escort you to your chamber I may take your leave samrat" saying he went away leaving a women behind she came forward and bowed to all of them but one person's eyes were struck on her

"Pranipat I am niece of maharaj Vibhishan anwita" she said with a smile making Ashwatthama falter for it dushasan who was near him nudged him to bring out of trance "Pranipat Devi" all exchanged greetings with each other . Anwita leaded the way for them into the palace built of gold and other valuables

Each and every part of the palace was magnificent and an architectural beauty . She kept on explaining and giving tour of the place when all of the others were enjoying the scenery and environment but Ashwatthama was indulged more in anwita more than what she was explaining. All other kuru's and karn noticed change in him it was clearly evident that he was attracted to her .

"Mitr lagta hai ki maharaj vibhisan ko ek nahi do do betiyon ki vidai keliye saj rehna hoga" Duryodhan chuckled to himself seeing ashwa

"Lagta hai ki meri vritika bhabhi ane se phele hi mitr Ashwatthama hamare liye bhabhi lane wala hai" dushasan added earning everyone's smiles

"Dekh tumhe aur Mujhe hamesha satata rehtahai hum dono ke pyar ke bhare mein aj dekho Khud kise pagal bana hai Devi anwita ke piche" karn said to Duryodhan all of them were talking to each other but dushala was disturbed by a butterfly which she found so unique than original one she tried to follow it

Started to follow it entered gardens nearby and ended up missing the path , she looked around but couldn't found none not even a single soldier was guarding there , she sighed and thought to never be so careless again

'I shouldn't have been so careless see now I am lost I even don't know where to go argh couldn't I be some what sensible now where to go who will help me I can't see no one here' she was mumbling to herself suddenly bumped into to some one

"Where did this wall come from in the middle of the way" she lifted her head to see a man who was standing glaring at her

"Do I look like a wall to you little girl . you bumped into me and again accusing me" he said in angry voice

"Oh hello I am not little and another thing you came into my way and standing like a wall I got hurt by you and what now you are scolding me" she scolded him in reverse

"You don't look like you belong to here don't you know that this is restricted area no one except royal family of lanka are allowed to come" he increased his voice more

"Yes I don't belong to here I just lost my way and one more thing I didn't knew that this was restricted area and no guards were there to stop me or say that this was restricted part so how will I know" she retreated back to him in same phase

"What no guards are there ? ....... Dasi dasi" he yelled calling servants soon two three members came there and bowed to him

"Why aren't there any guards to guard the gates of this place answer?" He against raised his voice making them flinch a bit "Yuvraj... that actually the shift has changed just now and next shift soldiers are yet to come that's why it is left unguarded we are sorry for inconvenience my lord" they bowed down to him he controlled his anger and turned towards dushala who was closing her ears due to his loud voice

"You little girl oh hello" he shook her making her open her eyes and slowly she removed hands from the ears
"Go with them they will lead the way to guest quarters and don't roam here and there this is not your kingdom this is lanka and many things could happen if you be so careless so keep it mind ....(he turned towards servants) escort her towards guest chambers and next time onwards be careful we don't want any intruders here" saying so he went away

'Arrogant giant he is and his voice no need of speaker to him' she mumbled to herself servants escorted her towards guest quarters and left from there

"Where were you dushala we were tensed is this the way you go away" Duryodhan scolded her making her pout "I was just lost my track bhrata and entered restricted part of the palace and even came across an arrogant jerk giant" she said bowing her head down

"Okay suyo she came back that is more than important for us now calm down dushala don't be so careless from next time we were worried" karn forwarded his hand and placed on her face earning a bright smile from her 'sorry for making you all worry" she apologised sweetly

"Not all of us were worried Ashwatthama was indulged in his own world forgetting the surroundings" dushasan teased Ashwatthama who was still lost

Karn slowly poured whole water on face making him come out of thoughts "what was that karn you drenched me totally" he said standing up from couch

"What can he do we were calling u from eons and you were in your Lala land dreaming about devi anwita" Duryodhan said making Ashwatthama blush a bit

"Oh my god my bhramchari friend is floating in love" karn added making all of them laugh at him meanwhile dushala was thinking about that arrogant giant who she came across

"Dushi about whom you are thinking of that much" vikarn poked her a bit "that arrogant giant he thinks I am a little girl he don't know how to talk with a women hot headed wall" she kept of ranting about him making all of the brothers look at her surprised she is not used to talk about anyone male apart from family members Ashwatthama and karn were exceptional but she is bad mouthing someone else here but another voice made them to turn other

"Whom you are talking about Rajkumari" anwita asked coming inside the room with dasis to keep the essentials required "some yuraj it seems dasi addressed him the same" she replied in not so interested tone

"Yuraj...... oh wait you are talking about bhrata Mayank" anwita exclaimed making all of them frown listening Mayank name from her "Mayank" karn mumbled gritting his teeth "yes Mayank yuraj of asur kul and son of Maharaj bali and nephew of maharaj Vibhishan and my elder brother" she said proudly making all of them angry

"Don't mind him Rajkumari he is a bit cold and arrogant from outside but a nice person from inside please forgive him" she asked her politely to which dushala only nodded her head and gave a slight smile to her not wanting to disappoint a sweet person like her

"Devi may I know your identity" Ashwatthama asked her in confusion "well I am daughter of Maharaj Vibhishan's half sister Vindhyavali and Maharaj bali and younger sister of yuraj Mayank and at last princess of asur kul" she replied him with a smile

"And may I know you kumar I only got to know about samrat from mamashree I didn't know that he would be accompanied by so many I am sorry if I have offended" she asked Nervously "no Rajkumari you haven't offended us it's just you are unaware of our identity I am Ashwatthama king of northern Panchal, and others are princes of Hastinapur sons of maharaj Dhritarashtra" Ashwatthama replied not to hurt her emotions

"Oh I thought all of you are coming separately I didn't know that you all will gather as one" she said her thoughts out "don't mind I am a bit talkative sorry if I have offended or hurt you with my talks" she apologised to all of them , they all shook their head in negative direction and gave a smile to them

"No Rajkumari don't feel sorry it's so nice to meet a person like you we are glad no need to apologise" karn came forward and said with a smile

"Oh good then meet you all at swayamvar I would like to take your leave I have many works to complete please make yourself comfortable and be prepared for competition" she said and went away

"I will kill that mayank" Duryodhan growled at once but Ashwatthama controlled him made him sit in his place again

"Wait that means there are chances of vritika jiji being here only right" dushala hopped in joy "think so but why haven't she come to meet us" dushasan asked them all making them think

"We don't know in which condition she is so we will wait for her to meet us till then don't do any stunts" Ashwatthama warned them karn moved towards balcony gazed surroundings engrossing in thoughts

'My heart is saying you are around some where I am waiting for you vriti' he said to himself

On other side of palace a female figure was standing looking at the setting sun with a smile 'just a day more Radhey just a day more' 🤔
