Hey Guys!!!!

Here is the 96th chapter.

I don't own Mahabharat.

Sorry, for the late update. 

Chhath Puja's coolness got to me. Plus, I had to catch on my sleep too. 

Happy Reading!!

Karn POV

"Karn!" I heard Ananya call. I look up to see Ananya rushing in to the room.

She was with Dushala, right?
Is everything ok? What has her like this?

Even Dushala looked dazed, I hope all of them doing good back in Hastinapur.
Oh! How I miss all of them.

"Kya Hua, Anu? Dushala theek hai?" (What happened, Anu? Is Dushala fine?) I ask concerned about my only sister.

"Haan. Theek hi hai." (Yeah. She is fine only.) She says slowly.

"Kuch toh bat hai, Anu. Kya hai?" (Something is there, Anu. What is it?) I question again.

She sighs, "Uski shaadi .... Yeh log uski shaadi karwa rahein Hain." (These people .... Are getting her married.)

"Toh Kya dikat hai, Ananya? Yeh toh bahut hi Khushi ki bat hai, na?" (So, what is the problem, Ananya? This is a great news, right?) I ask muddled as to why both my sister and wife were so shaken of that fact.

"Shaadi Sindhu Raj se hai." (Wedding is with Sindhu Raj.) She mumbles.

"Huh?" I couldn't hear her completely. It was as all muffled and forced.

"Shaadi Sindhu Raj, Jayadarth se Ho rahi hai." (Wedding is with the king of Sindh, Jayadarth.) She says louder than before. She practically spits his name.

"Kya!" (What?) I nearly shout. Ananya hums in reply.

"Ab mere pas ek yojna hai." (I have a plan.) Ananya begins. "Dhyan se suniye." (listen to me carefully.)

"Bolo. Bolo." (Say. Say.) I motion her to continue further, I am too anxious to wait for it. Plus, my brain isn't working right now.

"Aap Kuru Parivar ke Jyeshta Putra Hain. Toh aapki bat ki manyata zyada hogi. Aur humare saath Pandeva aur Duryodhana Hain." (You are the eldest son of the Kuru family. So, people are going to weigh your words more. And we have Pandeva's plus Duryodhana on our side?) She starts to list things.

What is she planning? What does she see in these idiots, anyway?

"Haan." (Yes.) I nod. As she starts pacing.

"Mumma aur chachi bhi nahi change ki yeh shaadi Ho." (Mom and aunt are also not going to want that this wedding takes place?) Ananya reasons.
"Aur kahin na kahin Maha Mahim bhi is shaadi ke virudh honge." (And somewhere Maha Mahim must also be against this marriage?)

"Awashya." (Of course)

She stops pacing but her back is to me. "Toh aap do patra likhiye." (Then you should write two letters.) She raises two fingers.

"Ek Hastinapur ko, Jyeshta Bhrata hone ke nate. Ki aapko yeh shaadi theek nahi lagti. Aur doosra Ashwatthama ko." (One, as being the eldest brother, that you are against the marriage. And the second one to Ashwatthama.)

"Ashwatthama ko kis liye?" (Why to Ashwatthama?) I question confused.

She stars pacing again. "Woh Hume madd karega is liye." (He is going to help all of us.)

"Kya madd?" (What help?) I ask. Where was this heading?

"Woh Dulha hai na, Sindhu Raj ke jagah." (He is the groom on place of Sindhu Raj, right?) Anu says.

"Kya!?" (What?!) I shriek shooting out of my seat.

Ananya pushes me back down, and raises an eyebrow un impressed, "Aur koi hai, jo isse accha Ho sakta hai Dushala ke liye?" (Do you have anybody else, who could be better than Ashwatthama for our Dushala?)

"Nahi." (No) I admit grudgingly.

"Mujhe laga tha." (That is what I thought.) She tells me. "Toh Patra?" (So, letters?)

"Patra." (Letter) I agree.

-- Time Skip – (Warning- I am not so sure, what happened to me, when I was writing this part. Read with caution, it kind of is matured, I suppose! 😬 🙈)

It has been a day since I sent the letter. I hope the answer comes early, I confronted Ashwatthama too, he agreed to meet me today. I talked to my darling sister yesterday night.

She was fine with Ashwatthama marrying her, says 'Anyone is better than that Sindhu Raj. It's just a plus that the you very well know Ashwatthama.'

As per Anu, Dushala is in love with my best friend. And has been since a while. I was so stunned, I stumbled on flat ground. The only good that came out of the whole ordeal was that when Ananya gave me her hand to raise me, I pulled her to me. And .... Let it be, we just reached our room in time.

I swear, my life is done, there is nothing other than that, I want. My life is now complete. I now realize how empty my life has always been. And the entrance of one girl changed it drastically. How her only ingress changed him, his habits, his thinking, got him so addition in life.

She is an absolute angel, solved the hatred between Duryodhana and the Pandeva's by just two- three conversations. She knew all of us and somehow understood us perfectly. She united us, to no end.

The only thing disappointed me was when yesterday she said, Dushala had fine taste in men. Though she added that Ashwatthama wasn't her type, I could not help but feel jealous.
Even though the actions later, healed my jealousy to varied extent.

The door to the bathroom opens and I stare at the angel that walks out. It's my wife. She is wearing a cream- colored gown, that was fit on the top and a little flowy in the bottom. It has flowers drawn over it and she is looking like a killer.

She comes to stand in front of me, turning around and my mouth run dries. The zip of the dress is not up and the edge of the zip reaches the base of her back, nearly to her waist.

I let my lips trail over her back as I slowly close the zip after it. And when I reach her base of neck, I move towards her ear.

"Beautiful." I whisper and bite her ear.

"Fuck me!" She moans.

"huh?" I ask confused.

She turns to me and in answer grabs my lips in hers. Biting on it hard, and I groan when she pulls away. She pushes me back in the bed, before ............. Walking away?

I am highly dissatisfied, right now. What is she up to? Please tell me she wasn't teasing me.

She closes the door with a loud bang and practically flies back to the bed. She stops at the end of steps of the bed, looking directly at me.
She picks her dress, till her knees, climbs the stairs and at last sits.

On me.

With her leg through on both side of mine.

Which means she was sitting on my thighs with her legs on my either side.

Hell! I will die. The sensation, oh my.

I am melted ice.

She grabs my Angvastram and jerks me forward, capturing my lips and hers and we make out. Tasting each other, as our hands wandered over each other's body, leaving a warm and fuzzy feel all over.
I should not have zipped her dress up, after all it didn't stay up long. As we spend some time, retracing all the patterns on each other's. Enjoying each other's company insanely. Forgetting about the outer world.

How was the update?

Dushala is marrying Ashwatthama only. 

Or so it seems. 

I mean we do have to wait for the approval from Hastinapur, right? 

Karn is jealous. 

Is he still jealous, by the end of the chapter? 🤔 🤭 

Thanks for Reading this.
