Arjun's POV :
When I returned to my room at midnight,Jyesth was gone.
I suppressed my laugh,thinking about our earlier conversation.
I knew that Angraj Karna did not actually want to kill me,atleast not in Varnavat.
The minute I saw guilt and confusion on his face,I knew it.
I am not that dumb to commit suicide for no reason.
If it was for my grandma's stories,then the case might be different.It's okay to die in a car accident,if it helps me to get reincarnated as my idol Arjun.
Nothing else is worth it...
I have a feeling that Mama Shakuni and Bhrata Duryodhana already know about the truth.
Because,if I am not tripping,it all should be mama Shakuni's plan,in the first place.
And I am definitely not letting him manipulate Karna or Duryodhana or anyone anymore.I will finish my task finally.

Flashback,
Third person's POV :
Arjun lied to Karna that he would head to Varnavat alone.And he saw Karna hesitating immediately.
Thus he clarified his guesses to be correct.He played a little mind game and left Karna,feeling all guilty.
Then he decided to go confront his Mata Kunti.Because if she refused to reveal everything,unless it comes to something destructive like the war of Mahabharat,the history would repeat itself.
In Kunti's chamber,
The very first thing Arjun noticed after entering Kunti's room,was her crying.
Kunti refused to stop crying even after a lot of pleading from her middle child.
She had noticed Karna's teary eyes and pain in his voice,when he came to talk to her.
And she knew that Karna knew the truth by then.
It was a perfect opportunity for her to reveal everything and apologise to her eldest child.
But then fear took over her mind.The same fear she felt as an unmarried mother,in the judgemental society.
The fear that let her drown her own child,many years ago.
The fear that took away her happiness for life and separated her precious first born from her.
She also knew that Karna loved and respected her very much,even before knowing the truth.
He expected her to let go of her fear and embrace him.
But that did not go well at last.Kunti felt like she was the worst mother of the whole universe.
It took pretty long for her to stop crying finally.If Arjun did not go to her,it might have taken even longer.
"Why are you not asking the reason of my crying,son?"
She was genuinely confused.
Arjun was known for being stubborn since childhood.He keeps questioning,till he gets the answer.
So it was weird that he did not question anything,when it's literally his dear mother,Kunti.
On the other hand,Arjun was feeling horrible.He knew that,what he did was not exactly wrong.But he should have confronted his mother first.
So he decided to tell the truth.
"Well,I am the reason of your tears mother.And...I know the reason of your pain...I know the truth."
Kunti was both surprised and scared.She was having a weird feeling that Arjun knew something,for the previous days.
'Oh well...Only if she knew that Arjun Knew more than that.He knew everything.'
But she refused to believe that.So,she decided to clear her doubts before.
"Wha..what truth...son?"
She started shattering badly.
"The truth of Karna being your eldest son,Mata...He is our jyesth,the real successor of the throne of Hastinapur.
He is your first born child.You had drowned him after his birth.
And before you ask,I heard your conversation with Dhatri kaki(aunt).Thus I came to know the truth."
Arjun said very calmly.He hated lying to her.But he simply could not say,"Hey,I came from the future.I am mr.'I know everything."
The silence after that was definitely awkward.But Kunti felt weirdly relieved.she felt relieved to not carry such a huge secret alone anymore.
And Arjun's calm composure after all of this,gave her a sense of relief as well.She always feared that her sons would lose their respect,after knowing the truth.
But if that's not the case,why should she worry anymore?All she cars about,are her 6 sons now.She did not need to care about someone else's opinion about her.
"Putra(son),what should I do now?
It looks like you already have something planned for me to get your Jyesth's forgiveness."
Arjun smiled lightly and hugged his mother.
"Reveal the truth tomorrow infront of everyone,mata.Then leave it to me and my other 5 brothers."
"I trust you son.I can no longer keep it a secret.
Free me from this heavy secret,which can do no good to anyone."
Kunti smiled back.
