Destined to be together

Niyati is jealous

Karn continued giving her weird glances.

"Jiji! There you are" Niyati turned around.
It was her younger cousin Chitrali.
Wait! What is Chitrali doing here?, thought Niyati.

Niyati didn't like Chitrali that much because she always taunted Niyati . She didn't leave any opportunity to taunt her.
Nevertheless she was her sister and it was far better to be with Chitrali than being with the person she hated the most, Angraj Karn.
"Jiji , everyone is searching for you and some Angraj. Draupadi jiji is so worried . Wait a second ..." Chitrali cried looking at karn.
"Is this handsome man Angraj Karn?" Chritali asked excited.
Niyati looked at Karn. He looked at her with innocence.
She looked at him angrily.

What did I do now! This girl will seriously drive me insane . All the time she is angry with me. What is her problem,thought Angraj.
Why am I so angry all of a sudden? This is all that angraj's fault  thought Niyati.

"Pranipat Angraj Karn. It's a pleasure meeting you.  I am well aware of your amazing archery skill but I didn't know you were such a good looking man." Chitrali cried with a wide grin in her face.
Karn smiled uncomfortably.
"Let's go , govind is searching for you both" she cried and held Karn's hand.

Niyati felt a pang of jealousy in her stomach when she noticed her holding karn's hand.
Why am I feeling like this! I dont care whatever Chitrali does! But I dont like her holding Karn's hand,thought Niyati.
She was so confused.
"Niyati!" Karn shouted.
Niyati was back to her senses.
That was when she realised that Chritrali and Karn had overtaken her and were ahead.
Seeing Niyati not move, karn called out to her.
What does she keep thinking about? She looks so beautiful lost in her own world, thought karn smiling a little.

Chritrali didn't care to leave Karn's hand in the entire journey.
Karn tried his best to avoid holding hands but she was extremely adamant.
Niyati didn't speak a word.
She kept looking at their entangled hand which increased her irritation.
To avoid looking at them,  she overtook them.
Karn could see the rage in her manner.
He was a bit amused seeing her like that.
She was tapping her foot loudly making a noise and was moving here and there.
Suddenly she started chasing a butterfly.
She was looking very pretty.
Karn couldn't stop himself from admiring her.

A wide smile appeared in his face.

After a long walk , they reached the others.
"Where were you Niyati?" Draupadi asked with concern.
"I hope you are fine. I mean ...looking at your company ...I was pretty worried." Arjun cried looking gravely at Karn.
Karn's closed his fist tightly.  He looked ar Arjun but didn't say anything.
"No I am fine, thankyou parth" Niyati cried smiling widely.
Karn looked at them angrily.
"Sakhi where were you both?" Krishna asked.
"We were lost Govind." Niyati answered.
"So were parth and draupadi... in each other's eyes. " Govind cried grinning.
Parth and Draupadi glared at Govind.
"Where is Mitr Duryodhan?" Karn enquired.
"He left for the palace." Krishna cried .
"He didn't wait for Angraj!!!" Parth cried sarcastically.
"Finally he realised one of his mistakes and that is befriending a sutaputra" Bheem cried laughing loudly.
Krishna didn't say anything but the smile vanished from his face.
"Someone's caste cant decide their capability Arya" Niyati cried with a  grim face.
Karn looked at her shocked.
She stood up for me! But she had insulted me for being a sutaputra earlier, thought Karn.
He was extremely confused.
Niyati seemed like like a puzzle which he couldn't solve.

They boarded on the chariot. Before entering the palace Govind asked everyone to not mention the incidents that happened in the forest. Everyone nodded.
Niyati kept looking at Karn and Chitrali. Chitrali was still holding Karn's hand.
She looked away with anger. She didn't know the reason for this anger.
She just didn't like the sight of her hands clutching on to him.
Govind looked at Niyati and then karn.
He couldn't control his laughter.
He burst out laughing.
Everyone looked at him confused.
"I apologise,  it's just..." he continued laughing.
"You are irritating me Govind!" Niyati cried with anger though the real reason for her irritation was karn.
Govind laughed harder.
"Are you sure Sakhi? Is it really me who is irritating you? I mean there are a lot of us doing a lot of actions which can irritate you." He cried smiling.
Saying so he glanced at Karn .
Niyati caught him looking at Karn.
Her face showed a patch of embarrassment. She hung down her head .
"Wait why am I... Govind!!!" She shouted angrily.
"Sakhi...you will scare away your suitors." Govind cried amusingly.
"See Angraj is already frightened. Dont scare him away Sakhi. He will step back and run away looking at your temper." Govind cried and started laughing again.
Draupadi joined Govind. She too started laughing.
Arjun smiled a bit.
Bheem didn't get the joke.
Angraj was shocked.
"No Vasudev ...its not that..." he mumbled.
"Oh wow...you still like sakhi?" Govind asked with an enquiring look.
"Yes" Angraj cried in a flow.
Everyone looked at him.
Govind continued smiling. Niyati looked at him shocked. She was a little surprised by the revelation.
"No...I mean ...you trapped me Vasudev ...I said I am not frightened by princess Niyati." Angraj cried with a smile.
Vasudev looked at him notoriously.

He knew the destiny and he couldn't help but smile at their situation.

"Niyati,draupadi- the shalya king is on his way. He will be spending the rest of the week with us and will take part in the swayamvar." Shikandini cried with despair.
Draupadi and Niyati were shocked.

That man always tries to touch me in an impolite manner. I cant tolerate him, were Niyati's thoughts.
King shalya was infamous for his bad behaviour with women.

Karn looked at Niyati concerned. Her face had paled. He knew what a disgusting man Shalyaraj was but he was a friend of Duryodhan therefore he could never speak against him but he swore that if he tried to cross his limit with Niyati or for that matter any other woman , he wouldn't tolerate it.
Being Radheye Karn , he knew what a blessing women were . He respected women as he respected his mother the most in the world.
