Karn and Niyati were living peacefully in Anga. Niyati was a wonderful queen with amazing judgements and wisdom. Karn had never been so blissful his entire life. Niyati was a blessing in his life. His people loved him amd Anga had become one of the most prosperous kingdoms of all time. He did miss Radhama a lot . He also missed Kunti and Arjun. Weeks passed.  There were no news from them.

Things were going great but one day Karn received a letter. He read the details of the letter. Niyati noticed him fidgeting with the letter. She didnt want to intrude but she was getting more and more curious about the writing in the piece of paper. However Karn hid the letter in a place where none could find it.
Niyati noticed a certain change in karn after the arrival of the letter. He seemed distant. Though he tried his best to act casually but Niyati was sure. She was sure something was wrong.

"What is the problem?" One evening Niyati questioned Karn not able to hold on her curiosity.
Karn smiled palely not uttering a word.
"What has happened? Will you tell me?" Niyati asked getting frustrated with his silent treatment.
"Nothing. I am fine. Why do you ask?" Karn cried his voice betraying his words. His voice was trembling.
Niyati took his hand and placed it on top of her head.
"You have to tell me the truth. " Niyati cried.
"You tell me Niyati. You tell me the truth. Is there something you are hiding from me" karn cried with a grim face and rude tone. Niyati had heard this tone earlier. He used to speak like this when he misunderstood her.
Was he again misunderstanding her? She didn't know. She was quiet.
"Answer my question Niyati!" Karn cried raising his voice for the first time after so many days.
"What are you talking about?" She asked somewhat confused by the change in him.
"You were running away from this marriage. That night when I found you in the forest ... that night you were leaving me forever. You were leaving me Niyati. You know all these days I imagined about that night all the time. It was the best night of life but now whenever I think about that night I fear the night. I get scared of losing you. I feel betrayed about you leaving me. You ruined the best memory of my life Niyati." Karn cried shuddering a little again imagining his life without her.

" Karn cried shuddering a little again imagining his life without her

Niyati could feel her cheeks burn as the tears trickled down her face. She looked sf him with guilt in her eyes. She had taken a very impulsive step that night and she still regrets her decision. Thank god she found Karn in the forest that night.
