Operation Karnita as Krishna and Pandavas named their mission started. They would do things like making Karna and Advika or as they know her as Agnita sit together for meals. Showering flowers on them when they would come face to face.
Advika was getting confused. Weird things would happen whenever she and Prince Karna would meet by accident. Once when she was walking with flowers for the Pooja someone bumped into her hard and she stumbled into the handsome prince. The plate fell down and flowers all fell around them.
Karna too was confused but suspicious too. The things which he experienced had the familiarity of his brothers. Till now he didn't see them doing any mischief but he did feel sorry for Princess Agnita. Her confused face when she stumbled into him was so adorable he thought.
He stiffened and thought 'Did I just think Princess Agnita as Adorable?' He shook his head and went to the training area. He started practicing archery when suddenly an arrow whizzed past him and cut his arrow vertically and struck on the bullseye. He turned to see who it was and a small smile appeared on his face.
(Imagine her in warrior clothes.)
She lifted her head and smiled a little asking "Prince Karna shall we have a competition?" He agreed and they both stood a few feet away from the target and got ready. The soldier in the area rang the starting bell and they both shot their arrow.
The arrows whizzed side by side and lodged in the target at the same time. They smiled at each other and continued to competite. On the other hand the Dwaraka siblings and the Pandavas searched for the two all over the palace.
Finally they reached the training area where they saw the two laughing and shooting arrows. Arjun got an idea and he took out his bow and shot an arrow at his brother. Advika saw the arrow coming and pulled Karna to her side. He didn't expect that and stumbled.
But the arrow seemed to be shot knowing that Advika would pull him and still advanced toward him. Advika panicked but before she could warn Karna a golden shield with a glow and sun symbol on it formed on his body.
The arrow fell down harmlessly but Advika froze on her spot staring at the armour. Karna looked at her and asked "Princess are you okay?" She didn't reply and only kept staring at the armour. Karna stared at her stunned face and again asked "Princess Agnita are you okay?"
At that Advika came out of her daze and noticed the closeness. She tried to move back but her locket which Vasusena (who is now in front of her to her shock) had given got stuck with Karna's necklace. He looked down and now it was his turn to be stunned. The locket he had given to his friend Advika.
They both looked at each other stunned and Karna slowly untied the locket. Advika arranged the locket neatly inside her dress and looked back at him. She smiled at him widely and was about to say something when Devika Maa called her.
She turned around and looked back at Karna, smiled again and went to Devika Maa. Karna was still stuck standing there as he processed what just happened. He looked ahead but didn't see Advika. By that time Arjun came and said "Sorry Jyesth I was aiming for the target. I didn't see you in between."
Karna of course knew it was a lie. First Arjun never missed his Target. Second he could tell by the way he scratched his ear that he was lying. He didn't reprimand him instead ruffled his hair and said "It's ok Anuj. Because of you I met my Sakhi again." He walked away with a dreamy expression while the Pandavas and Krishna snickered and highfived.
