ONE WORD - CHANGED THE FATE (COMPLETED ✔✔)

Draupadi Knows The Secret

The naughty Lord winked at Kunti reminding her of her other son.

"B.. but Krishn.." she was cut in between

"It is okay bua... I can understand" Krishna mischievously smiled at his aunt

"We will have to talk to King Drupad about this" Bheem said as he gazed pathetically at Draupadi before going out of the hut.

---------------------------------------------------

"She was a self-centered woman, dear friend, why didn't you tell her anything?" Duryodhan rubbed his cheeks

The demigod smiled at him and gave silence as the response. Without a second thought, he looked at the blazing sun without adjusting his eyelids

"And by the way, how do you manage to directly look at the Sun? Isn't it blinding? " Duryodhan required the warrior king standing next to him

"No... I love seeing the sun...I don't know why... " Karn gently smiled and turned to his friend

"And, anything else?" he asked with concern

"I want to behead the Pandavas, as easy as that" Duryodhan growled with anger

-------------------------------------------

The five brothers went to meet King Drupad leaving behind the would-be bride, Kunti, and Krishna at the hut.

"Putri," Kunti called out to Panchali

"Yes mother" Panchali smilingly asked her though the thought of marrying five men was shredding her apart

"You have promised to marry all my sons...." Kunti lowered her eyes

"Yes I have and I will keep my promise," the princess said confidently and looked at her Sakha

Krishna nodded approvingly with a gentle smile and glanced at Kunti. Kunti fiddled with her fingers and took a deep breath to continue her conversation

"I have to... tell you something Putri," Kunti again glanced at Krishna before proceeding

"I am listening, Mata," Draupadi said worriedly

"I got all of my five sons from Rishi Durvasa's mantra..."

Draupadi nodded

"I was unmarried when I got the blessing, and without knowing the consequences of the Mantra, I tested the Mantra"

Draupadi's eyes widened at the revelation

"That means you have another son, who is elder to all the Pandavas!"

Kunti nodded and continued

"I summoned Lord Suryadev and I was blessed with the most handsome baby boy on earth"

"Where is he? What happened to him?"

"I left him in the river Ganga... I was unmarried..." Kunti began crying her heat out

Draupadi had to marry six men, not five. She looked at the six stones Krishna had given her

"So, you knew it all, right Govind?" she looked at him with a gentle tear rolling through the corner of her eye

The whole hut was engulfed by silence

"I will marry him too, just for the sake of my promise, but where is he? and who is he?" Draupadi asked Kunti

"The sun God gifted him with Kavach-Kundal and he was born with them...he is none other than..."

"Angraaj Karn!" Draupadi muttered as she recollected how she had insulted him in the swayamvar

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a brief silence, Panchaali looked at Kunti

"So, does he know the truth of his birth?"

Kunti just nodded a no with her tear stricken eyes.

"I insulted him in the Swayamvar calling him a Sutaputra, will he accept me? Will he be ready to marry me?" Draupadi muttered

"What destiny has in store for us, we never know" Krishna spoke up and reassured Kunti. Draupadi stood up and gently walked out of the hut, lost in her thoughts. She refused Karna from participating in her swayamvar, just because she wanted to marry Arjun. But it seemed like destiny had other plans for her. If she had allowed Karna to participate, she would have married him. Since she had not acknowledged him, she had to marry Karna along with five other men. Whatever turn it took, her destiny was Karn.

"What are you thinking about, Sakhi?" Krishna asked her smilingly

"About Angraaj Karn. Maybe I am destined to be his wife." Draupadi sadly smiled

"Why, Sakhi? Is he that bad? He is one of the most handsome men in the whole Aaryavrat, though he's not up to my match," Krishna chuckled

"Govind!" Draupadi smiled and continued,

"You are so unpredictable! I am not talking about his looks. I, I don't know."

"Priyasakhi, " Krishna paused for a while and glanced sideways at the spy Shakuni had sent behind the Pandavas. The Lord knew that the spy was unable to hear anything from that distance and raised his voice to make himself audible.

" THOUGH KUNTI BUA GAVE BIRTH TO HER FIRST SON BEFORE MARRIAGE AND LEFT HIM IN THE RIVER GANGA, HE MUST HAVE BEEN BROUGHT UP BY NORMAL PARENTS. I AM SURE HE WOULD HAVE BEEN LOVED DEARLY BY HIS FOSTER PARENTS. I  AM SURE THAT HE, BEING THE ELDEST OF ALL THE PANDAVA BROTHERS, HAS ALL THE QUALITIES OF THEM." Krishna smiled as he saw the spy running back with the speed of light.

-------------------------------------

"What?" Shakuni was shocked by learning that Kunti had another son.

"But who is he?" Duryodhan asked disturbed at the news

" I heard only this much, master. They are searching for the other child of Kunti ." The spy bowed down

"And that is marvelous news! " Shakuni chuckled and gifted the spy with a hundred gold coins

"Leave us alone!" Shakuni ordered

"But how is that pleasant news, Uncle?" Duryodhan gritted his teeth

"The very thought of knowing that the Pandavas have an elder brother is irritating me." Duryodhan continued with disgust

"Have patience, my child! Have patience! Do you remember the words spoken by that Krishn? The eldest son of Kunti has been brought up by normal parents, which means he does not know warfare." Shakuni laughed

Duryodhan frowned

"What do you mean, Uncle?"

"He is the weakness of the Pandavas, dear child!" Shakuni chortled

"We will have to kill him first," Duryodhan said

"No! We'll have to torture him in front of his Royal brothers and Kunti mother, " Shakuni said as he looked at Duryodhan and Karn

"Dear friend, we should search for the sixth child of Kunti. Will you help me out?" Duryodhan asked

"Of course, dear friend, we will find Rajmatha's eldest son, " Karn said looking disturbed

-----------------------------------------

"Why are you smiling, Govind?" Draupadi asked Krishna noticing the sudden smile in his face

"Nothing, it seems like someone has begun to search for himself, " Krishna said as they both walked into the hut.
