hello folks im back again ?*bows down* im planning on continuing this one...should i ?

we should go to the forest karn was telling an obstinate duryodhan who really was trying hard to listen...12 long years in hastinapur without the pandavas to make his life hell...nothing was even interesting around here...nothing ever was without annoying bheem..with some effort duryodhan pulled himself back to the present..to take count of the cattle karn finished..what ?? duryodhan asked blankly...karn sighed why was his friend so annoying ?? but he wouldn't have him any other way he was sure...you know dusshasan came I heard that the pandavas are suffering a lot in the forest...karn rolled his eyes..the kauravas had conspired for months before dooming them to the forest for 13 years and now they found their life boring without them...sometimes the ties of blood were just too strong he supposed ..karn would dare say duryodhan missed the sons of pandu especially bheem..karn couldn't help but want to giggle..but it wouldn't be manly so he stopped himself from the very undignified act...and so the carefree banter continued ... when karn suddenly felt like someone had lit a torch on his head..it was decided that they were going to kamyak to take count of the cattle at least karn thought with the smirk it was a pretext to meet the sons of pandu..karn felt his heart singing it had been too long 13 years too long since he had seen dark blue skin and hazel eyes twinkling in mischief and familiar tones of dripping sarcasm ... would he be able to see him this time around properly or would mr.i will refuse urvashi just because I can be still too angry with him ?? anyway It did little to deter his excitement ... mounting his chariot along with his friends karn the king of anga set of to kamyak van... to count the cattle or so he claimed...

reaching the forest tents had been set up gold and other precious gems used lavishly to decorate everything karn wanted to laugh at his friends childishness but it was a visual treat seeing him run around barking out orders and be his usual arrogant confident self after such a long time...

he sighed and set off from his tent .he wanted to talk to him and if arjun wasnt willing.. karn really dint care he would always tie him up to some tree forcefully and make him listen...setting off to find the third son of pandu karn travelled deeper into the forest..Deeper and deeper kamyak seemed beautiful he almost envied the pandavas for coming here...he reached a particular part of the forest that gave him a terrific view the sun rising behind a waterfall..greenery and the snowcapped mountains the deer skirting around and the peacocks danced to their own divine tune...

Beautiful isn't it ? Said a calm voice..karn swung around and there he stood in the red robes of a van vasi..the yearsand hardships penances had hardly affected him...everything was intact from his curly hair to his arrogant eyes to his confident posture...he sat on the ground beside him and it was pretty obvious that he expected karn to join him on the soft grass...he sat beside him and they observed the view in a comfortable silence ... I come here pretty often arjun muttered ... when we used to live in vajra prastha ... every time madhav visited us ... we both would camp in different places just the two of us..away from all the hustle and bustle in natures arms it was comforting and soothing I always associate this place with him u know he turned around to look at me with a smile...I dint know why arjun was telling me all this but it grabbed my attention for some reason... when I did thapasya in the mountains I used to remember you a lot...karn sighed arjuns simple truths they were so innocent and yet soo deeply meant...I used to feel he continued that if I had an option to reverse time I would go there...

I was suddenly angry it was so unlike arjun to moan and groan like a child and wish he could change everything that had happened ... arjun who had taught him to find beauty in little things...he swung around to face him...you want it back then try to get it back...arjun laughed you want me to get it back... how ?? would you like a race ?? I asked to the peak ?? you must be kidding me arjun laughed...no im not...im actually very serious...arjun got up to join me...I should go back to my brothers he muttered...it was my turn to laugh you scared I asked ?? the jab hit home and he turned to face me...you challenging me angaraaj ?? he asked ... could it be more clear ? I asked... we slowly turned around monitoring the other through the corner of our eyes...

Dust rose from the ground as the son of surya and the son of indra began competing again...
