Tears Of Destiny

Awaited

Days passed in bliss, many changes were taken place in the whole Aryavart. Women have actively participated in administration they took samragini vibha as their inspiration asked for their rights. Magadh has developed into a powerful kingdom many rules were changed, equality was developed all over Aryavart. Karn and vritika were happily leading their marital life with small fights teasings and mischiefs.

Asti and prapti were most happy for their children both vritika and Karn were still their small kids despite being Samrat and samragini of Aryavart. Sahadeva was the person who is always getting into trouble by their mischiefs. Duryodhan and bhanumathi used to pay frequent visits to Magadh to meet their brother and sister. Bhanumathi became more attached to vritika as both of them used to have similar thoughts and Duryodhan used to complain to Karn that bhanumathi is stealing his bhabhi and he was not getting enough attention. Karn used to mumble to himself that they both are stealing his wife and again complaining to him

Anwita and Mayank used to visit vritika and used to help them in political matters. Mayank used to train the army with new techniques whenever he visits them. Both of them became a member of their group Ashwatthama and anwita used to exchange letters as friends though anwita knew he had feelings for her thought to stay silent till he confesses.

Mayank and dushala used to have constant fights whenever they come across each other. Dushala used to mostly stay at Magadh as she didn't want to leave her didi. And fights of Mayank and dushala was the source of entertainment for them. Dushasan and other Kauravas dispersed themselves wholly over the Hastinapur kingdom to look after the needs.

Gandhari and Dhritarashtra were the happiest persons now they treated Karn as their son and vritika as their elder daughter. Vidur mostly indulged himself in politics not thinking about the changes, bheeshm was happy to look at his kingdom is developing in the way he wanted to, but there is a void in his heart he knew that his Pandavas were alive but was feeling sad that they are wandering in forests he only prayed for the right time to come and they will be with them all but even afraid of Shakuni might again start his conspiracy

Shakuni tried different ways to poison the minds of Duryodhan against Karn and vritika but wasn't successful in doing so as he has much trust in Karn and vritika is more than him himself, bhanumathi was well known with the fact of Shakuni and was trying to side line him whenever he wants to meet Duryodhan she and vritika were on a plane to eradicate Shakuni mission and were trying their best to do that even Dhritarashtra himself ordered him to look after Gandhar for some time. And Magadh ceased itself so that no intruders can pass on their information their way of style of living, it was obvious many didn't know how the Samrat or samragini looked like some kings who were under their only knew how they looked like

Magadh
Two persons were sitting on the throne with much aura surrounded them and many courtiers were proceeding their trails but suddenly a messenger arrives from Panchal.

"Samrat I am here as a representative of maharaja drupad" saying so he bowed to the throne and the persons present there. Vritika raised her eye sensing the cause of his arrival

"Continue messenger," sahadeva said making the messenger nod his head
