She wiped her hot tears, stood up, and walked towards the hall where the Pandavas had gathered. Karna reached Indraprasth and gave an irritated look to the Pandavas. Draupadi looked at Karna as if she wanted to say something. Karna nodded slightly as if he had read her mind.

"I just wanted to check if you were okay," Karna said and continued

"I am okay....Aarya," Draupadi said shocking the Pandavas.

"Aarya?" Nakul was dumbfounded

"Your sixth husband is...Angraaj?" Arjun asked shocked.

"My sixth husband is none other than Angraaj Karn,"  she told aloud shocking the five men.

"King Yudhistir, after becoming a slave to the Kauravas, you did not have the right to put the Queen of Anga on stake," Draupadi shouted.

"What are you saying Draupadi? You married that man?" Bheem asked pointing to Angraaj

"Yes, the one who saved me from humiliation...instead of putting my life at stake," Draupadi cried bitterly.

"I don't know why she had promised that she would marry me," Karna told the Pandavas

"Because you are my eldest son," Kunti cried and continued immediately

"Draupadi had promised me that she would marry all my sons," Kunti cried.


Kunti began crying bitterly and said

"Just like Arjun is the mantra-prasad of Indradev and other Pandavas are from different devas, you are the mantra-prasad of Suryadev," Kunti began crying. 

"Angraaj is your son? He is our elder brother?" the Pandavas asked in shock

"I d...don't b....believe.....Radha maa..Ra...Radha maa," Karna muttered disbelievingly. 

Shock, heartbreak, bitterness filled in his mind as her learnt the truth.

"You are the son of Lord Suryadev, Angraaj," Krishna said as he patted Karna

"That is why you were born with a Kavach-Kundal that was gifted by your father," Krishna said

"I am sorry, child, I've wronged you! Mata should have kept you with me. I was unmarried when you were born," Kunti broke down

Karna always had a soft corner for Kunti. But he did not know the real relationship they shared.

"I am sorry, I did not have the courage, people would have called you...fatherless," Kunti wept bitterly

Karna moved forward to wipe her tears away and suddenly stopped in his tracks. He recollected his Radha maa and was shattered to know the truth behind his birth. Karna's eyes wellep up with tears. He knelt down on the floor lifelessly. 

"He is our brother," Arjun cried

"Why did you hide this big truth from us?" Yudhistir asked 

"The brother whom we had to worship, we insulted him badly," Nakul said

"He is our eldest brother, he has the position of our father," Sahadev cried

"We insulted him so much," Bheem cried

"Oh just shut up!Just shut up!" Karna cried bitterly

"Are you all trying to play mind games with me?" Karna wept his tears 

"My birth was a secret, my marriage was a secret...will my death be a secret too? Will no one perfom my last rites?" Karna shouted in anger

"No brother! Please don't say such words!" Arjun begged

"We are sorry brother, we did not know that you were our..." Yudhistir was cut in between by Karna

"If you had known! How convenient, you have no right to insult anyone even if he is NOT your brother," Karna cried wiping his hot tears

"I saved your Putra-Vadhu, please tell me...is...is this the truth?" Karna asked Kunti 

Kunti nodded crying.

"I knew the truth long ago," Draupadi said

"Oh! That is why you were ready to marry me, now I get it. You would have come to know that I was not a sutaputra, right? But how did you agree to marry an illegitimate child?" Karna bitterly asked Draupadi

Kunti cried harder

"I am sorry son, please forgive me, you father is known as Mitra, the friend of all," Kunti cried

Karna in a reflex knelt down and wiped Kunti's tears and immediately got up.

"I hate you all! I hate everyone! I don't trust anyone" Karna said and walked out of Indraprasth.

"Karn!" Kunti shouted

"Don't worry bua, it takes time to accept a few things," Krishna said

"But it took a lot of time for a mother to accept her son," Yudhistir said looking at Kunti.

"You have to stay by your mother's side and convince your brother," Krishna said and the Pandavas agreed with tears in their eyes. After all, their brother had fought the whole society and faced many challenges and insult in his life. How would he know that his life would take a sharp turn?
