"Jyesth Bhrata Karn" all the pandavas spoke at the same time.
Karn was confused. He looked at them weirdly. Meghna could feel the tension rising. She herself wanted to talk to Karn about the confusion and misunderstanding brewing between them but the tension building up between the brothers made her problem seem slightly insignificant. Karn looked at the pandavas . He could see a different respect and love shining in their eyes. The kind of love he had yearned for throughout his life. The kind of love he had not had the opportunity of experiencing. The brotherly love. The brotherhood. He had to speak to the pandavas. They had some serious explaining to do.

Meghna excused herself. She could feel the inevitable occurring. She could predict from the look of the pandavas that Kunti had blurted out the truth. Meghna joined Draupadi.  She was sitting alone waiting for Arjun. She was looking so happy. Suddenly Meghna recalled the incident. Kunti's promise , Draupadi marrying the five pandavas, her life filled with misery- all of it flashed right in front of Meghna's eyes.
She went and sat next to her friend.
"I am so sorry Meghna. I really didnt mean to offend Angraj...I wanted to marry Arjun..." Draupadi said with a guilty face.
"I know Draupadi...I know you very well...and I also know you didnt mean to insult my husband...I believe in you" Meghna said . She was lost in a thought. She was dreading the future event.
"You seem a little worried sakhi" Krishna said joining his two best friends.
Meghna looked at Krishna. She could hear Krishna's voice ringing in her ears. It was his leela. Obviously.
"Sakhi I know what you're worried about. You are here in this yug for a particular purpose. You are here to change the history. You know Draupadi doesnt deserve the fate she suffered. You are her friend. You know what to do." Krishna said. Only Meghna could hear him.
Meghna nodded. She did know what she had to do. She has to change Drauapdi's destiny this time. The God was with her. She can do it. She cant see her sweet friend suffering such a cruel fate.
She found an idea.

"I have something to discuss with you all" Karn said.
The brothers nodded looking genuinely surprised. Their brother had recognized them. They were explicitly happy.
"What are you all doing here? I told you all to stay safely. You all took a huge risk by coming I'm front of the entire aryavrat. They could've recognized you so easily. ESPECIALLY Arjun! " Karn scolded them.
He genuinely cared for the pandavas and their mother. He loved Rajmata Kunti. She had always treated her like her own son when they used to stay in the palace. The pandavas though insulted him were noble men. And Karn knew that. He loved Yudhisthir's righteousness, Bheem's innocence, Arjun's simplicity and Nakul and Sahadev's playful nature. He didnt hate the pandavas ever.
"Why do you care about us so much? Your friend wants to kill us. We have insulted you in so many occassions. Yet you continue to save us. You continue caring for us. Why is that Bhrata?" Arjun asked.
Karn flinched at the word Bhrata. However Arjun's words had meddles his mind too. Honestly why did he care so much about the pandavas? Why did he save them every time? He didnt hate them. Maybe he liked them.  He felt something for them which he himself was unaware of.
Karn couldn't reply.
"Wr know the answer Bhrata...we know why you always saved us because deep down you felt a brotherly affection for us. Blood is thicker than water. We are your blood bhrata" Yudhisthir said tears filling his eyes. The other pandavas too looked at him emotionally.
Karn was so confused. He didnt know what to say . What is he saying?
"Yudhisthir I dont understand you." Karn said.
Yudhisthir couldnt speak anymore.
Karn looked at them unbelievably. It took some time for him to process what Yudhisthir had just said.
"What do you mean?" Karn asked fearing the answer he would receive this time.
"It is true Bhrata Karn. You are the eldest brother of the pandavas. You are a kaunteya. You were the mantra prasad of Suryanarayan. You Karn are a kshatriya " Krishna's heavenly voice was heard. Karn was too shocked to speak. It cant be...he cant be a kshatriya. Moreover his mother? His mother Radhama...Rajmata Kunti...all of these things were revolving in Karn's head.
Karn looked at them unbelievably. He didnt wait for a second more. He turned around and left the arena with Meghna. The pandavas were devastated. He had not expected this reaction. Honestly they didnt know how their jyesth Bhrata was going to react.
Karn couldn't stay there any longer. He had had enough. What nonsense were they speaking?! He was already too disturbed. And now they were speaking rubbish before him. He had to go to his mother. He wanted to be with her. Meghna looked at Karn eho didnt utter a single word in the whole journey.
"Karn..." Meghna muttered.
Karn did not speak . He looked extremely disturbed. He was fearing the worst. What is the pandavas were speaking the truth? No it cant be.

"We need to bring back jyesth Bhrata. Draupadi first we will leave for Anga then we will go to our mother." Arjun said. Draupadi nodded herself shocked by the truth of Karn.
Krishna smiled heavenly as he joined the pandavas in their journey.
