This news is shocking to most but they were sure that once Karn had promised something he shall follow it.so they chose to let that sink in and prepare to get Vrushali married in a week. With this they all retired for the night whereby Rudra stayed back with karn and adirath while Radha and Vrushali went to her place.

Duryodhan, Vikarn, yuyutsu and Ashwathama went back to the palace digesting all that had happened, they weren't to sure cause they didn't trust Krishna cause of his reputation. They all chose to trust Karn and retired for the night. Karn however could not sleep the whole night, as soon as he would close his eyes, he would see her face and that spoke volumes to him. He felt like she was always his and the wait was now tormenting him.

Since he was up the whole night, he had used the moonlight to help him paint her face and admired it till he saw the sunrise and he went to complete his prayers. The rest had now woken up and Radhama was first to check up on karn, and when she saw the portrait and just froze.

She wondered how someone could look so simple and enchanting, cause the painting was of Aahana, (though Radhama did not know this at that time), she wondered who brought that painting here. She saw the painting items around and realized someone who have painted it here and knowing karn was a good painter she though she will ask him when he returns.

The rest who all gathered around and tried to figure out her reaction and they too were confused seeing the portrait. Since they all admired it as well, and they all thought the picture was too good to be real and may have just been someone's imagination.

Karn who returned saw his painting with them told his mom she is Aahanna his wife and he painted her cause he could not sleep at night. All are shocked but happy for karn, with vrushali commenting that he is an amazing painter, and he has made her look very beautiful while he says that the painting does not fully describe her beauty. All of them are shocked at the way karn is lost in his wife and hope that she will be equally attached to Karn.

Karn then headed to the palace where he was to meet with duryodhan and decided he shall head to anga after that. And with this all their lives had gone back to normal; the division smoothly took place and Gandhar raj was away so duryodhan could not be further poisoned.

On the other side as Aahanna reached Mahendgiri Parvat she took her Guru pita and Guru Mata's blessings as they congratulated her on getting a body, finding her soulmate and the half marriage she had been bonded into. She knew they would have known this, and she now asked if that was one of the reasons she had to return right after the wedding.

With this she was assigned her next assignment and that was to learn for 2 years in patal lok under Asura guru Shukracharya. She had asked why and the reason she sent her to a deeper puzzle she wanted to uncover. She was now told the reason for her to be brought back in time was to defeat a demon and for that she needs Guru Shukracharya's teachings and support which he had agreed for. And with this began her two years of vigorous training all that took place during the night and during the day.

Along with that she returned every fortnight to fulfill her duty as shakti and continued causing trouble in Gandhar. What was surprising is Gandhar raj had now asked Duryodhan to come help which however was not the case as he was unable to with the Yuvraj duties and so only Duhassan and some other brothers were able to go help.

Aahanna now was extra diligent and was still able to cause minimum problems for the upper class and hence cause disorder further increasing the time Shakuni spent in Gandhar.

With this another 6 month came to an end and she had completed 7 years in her studies. She had done her best and had become the best student in a matter of the few months, her bond had become that of a father and daughter with guru shukracharya, and all students had started to value and respect her once they saw her dedication and focus and how she was never partial between her treatment with the asurs and with the humans.

She had completed her learning with all the knowledge in magic and illusions, all types of Assur weapons and also beyond what most Assur's were taught, that surely had created jealousy among many from her, but she had always proven that she was capable and worthy of the Assur weapons. With her humility and passion, she had got the blessings to create indestructible and new weapons that only she could use and control.

And with this she had gotten the task for her guru Dakshina which marked 8 and half years of her studies complete. She had again taken up her get up and headed to Avanti a kingdom far from Hastinapur and the only kingdom in Aryavart at time that had its own Samrat (king in support of 100 kings), her Dakshina was to defeat the Samrat Akhrot and take control over it.
