Karna was waiting on swing he suddenly felt someone's presense be hind him. He didn't heard any footsteps or anklets sound as Avantika didn't wear any anklets and was also trained warrior. He turned around and saw Avantika standing there they both smiled and he guestures her to sit beside him. She sat beside him resting her head on his shoulder. They both held eachother's hands, Karna saw the bangles of Radha on her hands.

Karna : So Radha maa gave you her bangles.

Avantika : Yes she came after the ceremony to give it to me and talk to me. Your mother love you very much Radhey.

Karna : Yes, she loves me very much. So what did she told you.

Avantika : She told me to always stand beside you as equal.

Karna : she is right, priye. You are my equal in every way and it should and will not change regardless of circumstances.

Avantika : She also told me that you recently discovered something life changing about your self and told me to ask you about it. There is something I want to tell you as well.

Karna : I was going to tell you regardless. You are my parner and we should not have secrets. My story is kind of long. You tell first what was you going to talk about.

Avantika : Okay, you know about boon given to me.

Karna : I am aware.

Avantika : Pitashree didn't whole truth.

Karna (smiles) : I suspected that. Why would anyone be willing to fight to have you just for prosperity.

Avantika : Yes you are right. Other half of my boon is whoever I marry will become invisible and only Tridevs themselves can kill him in their true form, not even their Avatar or other deva, asur or their ans can defeat him. This is the real reason of my father's reason for seclusion and Chandrasur's demand to marry me.

Karna : So that's the reason.

Avantika : So this changes any thing between us.

Karna : No priye it doesn't, I love you for who you are, whether you have boon or curse doest affect my feelings towards you. As for boons I have fought both Dev and Asur and by Ardhnarishwar grace came on top of both of them. I don't need any boon for that and if any tridevs or trideviyan wanted my life means, I became cause of Adharm in society. I will gladly give my life to them myself. They didn't need to raise weapon and let their hands dirty with my adharmi blood.

Avantika : I knew I chose right person to marry. What have you discovered recently.

Karna became stiff for a moment but Avantika felt it. His eyes have enormous pain in them but he steeled it. His smile faltered and he had stern expression but he schooled them. Avantika saw all this and was perplexed what could it be that her Radhey get to know to cause such changes in him.

Karna (smiles sadly) : Priye, the truth I know about myself shook me to core and questioned my existence. Pyiye I came to know I was adopted by Pitashree and Radha Maa. They found me in the basket floating on river ganga. I am not their birth son but some other women gave birth to me.

Avantika (gasped) : What? Why? How?

Karna : Yes priye when I came to Hastinapur, I told my parents everything truthfully about me since I left home to attain knowledge. After that Radha Maa decided to be honest to me as well and told me they found me one morning on ganga bank in bamboo basket filled with flowers and wrapped around me. My birth mother left me to river to die as I was sin to her.

Avantika : Do....do you know about you birth mother, Radhey? You said your mother insted of parents so you must know your birth parents and the circumstances behind this heinous act.

Karna : Yes I do know about them. But it didn't matter my mother will always be Radha maa.

Avantika : Do you want to talk about it? It's fine if you don't wish to. I can see pain in your eyes. No wonder Radha maa was so concerned she must have felt your pain.

Karna : I know no matter how much I try to hide it radha maa and Pitashree will find about pain. I want to tell you about the woman that gave birth to me but you promise me to never tell anyone not even your or family. I can't see pain in my Radha maa's eyes, Avantika.

Avantika : Ok priye I promise you.

Karna : I know everyone is curious why I have divine Kavach and kundals since birth inspite of being a suta as it must be Dev's boon and aside from Brahman and kshatriya no one could do this kind of penance as they either doesn't have patience or knowledge about it. Priye these were gifted me by my father suryadev to protect me. As for my woman who gave birth to me, she is none other than choti Maharani of Hastinapur maharani Kunti.

In her adolescence she did seva of sage Durvasa. Sage Durvasa was happy and gave her boon she can summon five gods and gets their sons. Despite of sage's strict warning, out of curiosity next-day seeing the sun she chanted the mantras and used her boon to summon suryadev to see whether boon was really effective or it was just fake. Suryadev bound by boon came to give her son. She rejected first as she wasn't married but boons can't go in vain so I was given. She was scared and left Kuntibhoj her father's kingdom to go to secluded area making excuses of serving the Brahma's there. She left there with her maid and best friend Priyamada nine months later I was born, as sin to her despite being son of suryadev . To save her father's reputation she decided to get rid of her sin and she with her maid wrapped me in red cloth and put me bamboo basket full of flowers and floated me in river ganga. I know all this because I summoned ganga maa and Suryadev in seclusion next morning I arrived Anga to know the story of my birth. Red cloth were my funeral clothes and Bamboo basket full of basket was my pyre. Seeing Rajmata Kunti floating me in Ganga, my father suryadev came there and gave me kundals and kavach in her presence to protect me. He later requested Ganga to protect me and gone me to a childless couple who can raise me. Ganga maa agreed, protected me and made me meet mu Pitashree and Radha maa as they were avid devotees of her and Suryadev.

That evening I left to farthest corner of ganga to be alone with all thoughts then my teachers came to me to give me support. I was heart broken, they consoled me. They told me everything. They asked me to forgive her and I did but vowed to never accept he as my mother. I promised them that I will do all duties of her son and elder brother without ever claiming any rights. I gave my forgiveness as an alms to that dusk pooja.

Avantika was crying and tears were flowing from Karna eyes too. Avantika knew she has to be strong to console him as Karna was vulnerable now. She knew the story wasn't finished the eyes of karna told her so.

Avantika : How could a mother do this? Is heart made of stone? Does she now know you are her son?

Karna : Yes she knows about me, she should have recognised me when I amd pitamah Bheeshma was battling and my Kavach was summoned. Instead of coming to me or accepting me she kept quiet. This time it was for her legitimate son's right of throne. She kept quiet when I was insulted by everyone even her sons. It seems her heart is really of stone but just for me.

You know I fought Dronacharya be he dared to insult mu teachers, I defeated him and was going to behead me but Dushala and Radha maa stopped me. They were worried for me, they didn't want me to get sin of Brahman killing. But Rajmata Kunti was quiet. Radha maa tolde me to heal Dronacharya which I did using sanjeevni matra but Dronacharya was humiliated and angry for his defeat so as soon as he woke up he shot Brahmastra at me. My Kavacha protected me bit due to being hit by Brahmastra my whole energy was consumed then my teachers came they were very angry. They decided to kill Drona and destroy Hastinapur but Radha maa stopped him. You know I was in coma but was able to hear everything going around me. I heard everything my Radha maa and Dushala were crying. Bheeshma, Ashwatthama, arjun, Nakul and Sahdev were concerned about me. But what hurt most wasn't brahamastra but silence of Maharani Kunti. I thought I couldn't get more hurt than that in my life but I was wrong, Priye. Very wrong. When gurudev decided to kill Drona and destroy Hastinapur. Mata Ghandhari begged for her children's life and pointed out my severe condition but Maharani Kunti begged for hers legitimate sons and her son's kingdom Hastinapur. That hurt me the most, I really wanted to die at that moment. Though I decided to never accept her as my mother but her indifference for my life was truly hurting. Guru dev and Mata Parvati gave me thier energy to revive me. I then and there my feelings were reaffirmed. I will never acknowledge he as my mother but a stranger and a royal. I am and always be Radhey.

Avantika (crying) : Yes you a Radhey, Karna and will always be Radhey.

Karna : Today is the day of happiness in our life lets both not cry. We have future ahead ourselves. We will find our happiness there.

They both wiped their eyes and sat in silence while embracing each other. They enjoyed the silence and company of each other. They and their emotions calmed down.

Avantika : What have you planned for future Radhey?

Karna : I have planned a lot many things Priye. Not just our happiness but also happiness of others. I know with you in my life I don't have to worry about our happiness but I have promised my teachers that I will help others with their teachings and I am planning to fulfill my that promise. I need you help for that priye. Will you help me.

Avantika : Of course I will help you Radhey. What is it that you need my help for.

Karna : You know all reforms I brought to Anga. I was somewhat successful but I was never able to change the society's perception of women should do household work only, women themselves aren't eager to learn self defence and weapon. They need a strong role model, you will be perfect for it.

Avantika : Sure, I don't mind, I myself will make them see it's benifit and teach them. The society we are living in needs a woman strong enough to protect herself.

Karna : I know, priye after I returned to Anga one month ago I sent my special trained spies to various kingdom of Aryavart to gather information about the condition of common people. The information reached me were very disturbing, so I decided to train several elites to help them, as a king of Anga I can't interfere with other kingdom but it isn't going to stop me from my promise. I intend to send them to various kiny and help the oppressed. You know I started to accept these helpless people in Anga, I accepted lot of orphans, widows, families, old and young in Anga but this is not the solution of problem, as anga can't contain all the oppressed people and some of them cannot leave their kingdom due to various reasons. I called them Nyay rakshaks and are training them personally and I want you to also join me in both training them and be part of it. This forces are secret to everyone even my parents I wish it to remain same. We can even include women once you trained them.

Avantika (smiles) : Only you can think of people before Radhey. You are a true Kshatriye, people call you suta or low cast but they themselves forgot Kshatriye should use weapons to protect people not to oppress them. I am happy and Lucky to have as my life partner Radhey.

They both smiled and stayed in eachother's embrace for some thime then they left to their seperate chambers. They smiled thinking after 15 days they would not have to face such seperation.
