Draupadi POV,

Today was a very dreadful day for me but it was also the day I had anticipated the most both for different reasons. I know I had to face the entire Aryavart as Karna's wife and had to face the ones responsible for the most dreadful day of my life. I have thought of forgiveness and little punishment beforehand but it could only happen if things go according to what I has anticipated. On the other hand I was desperately waiting for my five children whom I hadn't seen for 13years. My children came first and filled me with too much happiness and joy. I engulfed them in her embrace, I was even excused along with Subhadra. I took them in my chamber where with tears and emotions that were not in control I rained questions about their well being and other things. My children enthusiastically replied and it was something I couldn't get over with.

Shortly after my Father, brother and sister came. Seeing them I was overjoyed but tears and shame in the eyes of my father, he folded his hands to beg forgiveness for giving me harsh life due to his choices, insulting Karna and his inability to save or avenge me, it broke my heart. The reunion was no less tearful but with my children and family beside her I didn't let anything dampen the mood. We all sat and chatted. Time passed very fast and a maid came there to tell everyone to be prepared for sabha as it was being arranged. Everyone left my chamber, I was feeling nervous all of sudden then my husband and jiji arrived. Their arrival calmed me down, especially the presence and care of my husband. With them I entered the sabha and immediately became the centre of attraction, I even saw my other four husbands, two of them I hadn't seen in a year.

I reached the throne and before anyone could come out of their shocked expression other than who knew my Arya spoke in an authoritative and cold voice. He made them aware of what he thinks is the right amount of knowledge. Govind stood up to support her too. Both of them either detered or controlled the crowd. Then the most awaited moment came. Duryodhana calmly came at centre and was ready to accept his punishment. I couldn't believe he was the same arrogant prince of Hastinapur. I can see he was remorseful but to confirm I asked whether he feels sorry truly and his answers satisfied me and made me happy not only for myself but for Bhanumati, mata Gandhari, laxmana and others but before I could spoke Dusasan spoke, I was astonished but I could now see love Duryodhana command from his siblings it was above what I saw of her husbands. I accepted what he said and punished them with what I felt was apt punishment for them. I could see they were surprised but their admittance and feeling guilty was enough for me.

Then something happened that has angered me truly. The raging voice of my husband Bheem and then questions of my husband Yudhishthir. How dare he still think about himself after what he had done. Did he think I would cause war like what they want and gamble with the lives of millions among them would be my own children and ones I cared for. I wasn't able to keep her calm and like a volcano my anger erupted and I pointed out all their misdeeds and mistakes and asked if the explanation was satisfactory. There was stunned silence and the bowed head of four Pandavas m, I could see Arya Sahadev shaking his head in disappointment.

The silence of sabha broke with the sound of footsteps and there I saw my mother in law mother of my other five husbands the words escape her mouth was earth shattering but i saw the complete calm face of Aarya Karna and jiji, immediately i knew they were aware of truth beforehand and not only them Mata Gandhari too was sobbing hard as if she knew beforehand. I could see the colors drain from the face of Radha mas and Adhiratha Pitashree hence it could only be true. Nobody could believe what they heard, even me. Arya Yudhishthir's voice almost broke when he asked if everything was true. I could see the revelation had hurted my other husband, especially Arya Sahadev who was crying. Mother in law Kunti didn't stop but continued her story. I could see jiji shaking and anger in her eyes. I had a good relationship with her, hence I could tell she was angry at whatever ever said. Then the astonishing curse of Arya Yudhishthir on the women's race came. The circumstances were such I couldn't help but agree. He apologized on behalf of his family.

Arya Karna, the suryaputra denied any relationship with him and it cemented my doubt that whatever was told was far from the truth. Arya was one who was willing to give a second chance, he even gave it to me so it isn't possible he wouldn't for his own mother and brothers. My doubts became true but even my most frightening nightmare wasn't like what I heard and saw a mother asking for a price for keeping a child in the womb, he mahadev how could any mother do this. My shock was broken by the shout of jiji who gas ger swords withdrew but Arya stopped her. He bhagwan what was his expression, he was actually exp…expecting this to happen. My heart broke in a million pieces. I don't know when tears were flowing freely but my voice was lost. I looked at Govind to see a teardrop escaping for the first time from his eyes when with a pained expression he closed his eyes. I couldn't believe what was happening, Arya asked Kunti yes kunti I had lost any form of respect i ever held for her. Kunti continued but Radha maa slapped her a slap well deserved, for the first time I saw her angry and rightly so. Her words were nothing but true afterwards but it also reminded me of an incident I was made aware of but it has slipped my mind.

Then I heard the angry voice of Arya and in the blink of an eye he was in front of Radhe maa and asked what he wasn't aware upon knowing everything, I saw him angry more than that dreadful day. I know how much he loved her and knowing such injustice happened to her and he was unaware all his anger exploded. I saw the bowed head of my other husband and pitamah. His voice scared everyone; the anger it held was enough to destroy everything. His eyes were red and his body was shaking. He then gave the lives of Kunti and my other husband s life as price Kunti was seeking but he gave the most liberal yet most cruel punishment he could. I know how much the throne and status mattered to my husband after spending life with them. I don't care for them but I care for Arya Karna and Arya Sahadev. I can't even fathom what Arya karna was feeling when Arya Sahadev was in a mess and he was a most introverted man who keeps everything to himself. I felt helpless more than during Dyut sabha and things didn't happen to me.

Gandhari pov.

The confrontation of Draupadi and Duryodhana was something I dreaded but the results was something I never imagined and was grateful and will be eternally grateful to Draupadi for sparing my son. Seeing Kunti come into the court I had a foreboding that things would turn ugly and it happened. I knew the lies she was spewing after talking to Karna. I didn't know how Kunti could lie so effortlessly and despite doing something that would make the cruelest heart tremble she was portraying herself as a victim. I onew Karna would decline to have a relationship with her and through her entire kuruvansh. What gem we lost, a person like Putra Karna born rarely in any Yuga. He was a great son, great father, great husband, great brother, great King, kind, compassionate, generous words would not end if it is used to describe him. He has struggled his entire life due to the misfortune of being born to Kunti, why mahadev why haven't you can't give me the opportunity and fortune to give him birth. Why do only good people suffer the most? Karna, someone who dedicated his life for betterment of others so how could niyati be so cruel to him.

Hey Mahadev, what rubbish is Kunti saying? Despite abandoning him twice she was asking something no mother had ever or could ever ask. How could such thoughts come into her mind, hey Mahadev how could sage Durvasa give such a boon to this kind of woman. Does she consider Karna Nothing but her means of luxury and tool to get rights for Pandavas. If what she wants then I would order Duryodhana to do so and move here with my entire family. Even her shadow should not fall on anyone as it could malign him/her. Karna, why does he have expectations instead of sheer fury, I could feel fury and rage of those around me then how he was expectant of this does he know it would happen.

Slapping sound, I turned to the centre of sabha, when did Radha move, i didn't see but it was well deserved. Hey Mahadev, what's more to know. Seeing the bowed head of Tatshree shows his guilt now I understand now why there was a bitter relationship between him, Adhiratha and Radha. Oh, Karna, how could you be so generous, how is your heart so big? I know the love he possesses for Radha and would face tridev for her but to be free from any binding from Kunti he paid her price; that was the life of her and Pandavas. He truly is Radhey and will be Radhey only. How lucky Radha truly is, I can only be envious of her. The punishment of snatching rights of Kunti and Pandavas was light but see how Kunti face held dread as she was sentenced to death, she should be. I don't know what to think of punishment and I don't think I have to worry about it. My worry is for Karna, he gave shelter, love and care to my family at our lowest but I can't help him. I am feeling helpless and hate my helpness.

Others there were thinking about what happened in Sabha only, they were truly disgusted by Kunti and her pathetic attempt at the end was truly showing her worth as human beings. What happened today was truly unprecedented in history. Motherhood has fallen so low that it touched rock bottom. Truly no mother goes below what Kunti has achieved. It would be better in a way if she had killed Karna at least what he was facing was much worse. Hidimba was crying, Dushala was embracing eklavya, lakshmana, Bhanumati, and others were weeping heavily. Ghatotkach was ready to ponce and finish the one responsible to hurt his father figure and now known tatshree. Children of Pandavas were disgusted with their Pitamahi and lost all respect for Yudhishthir, Bheem, Arjun and Nakul. There one person who was worse was Sahdev. There was no stine heart that wasn't melted by the situation of Radhey and no soft heart which could even slightly sympathise with Kunti or Pandavas.

A/n here is small chapter. I am not good at pov but I tried do tell how was it.
