Chapter 21: JOURNEY TO VARNAVAT


    HASTINAPUR


    KARN''S POV


    Mama shakuni, mitra and dushasaan were happy about their n getting seeded as they came to


    know that arjun and aadhya will leave for varnavat soon and tomorrow others will leave and on the


    other hand I felt very guilty about this n as it included mata kunti and aadhya too I can''t believe they


    will go this far, killing pandavas was okay but killing mata kunti and aadhya is not done they are


    anyways doing a big adharma, I tried to stop them but duryodhan said "that my wishes are more

    important and he will take sanyas if he can''t be a king and" I couldn''t say anything more as duryodhan


    is my mitra and he is not wrong in his ce too he just wants what is his but he is just using the wrong


    way, how I wish I could tell him that there are other ways as well.


    Next morning everyone stood out to give a farewell to mata kunti and the pandavas as they were


    leaving for varnavat, I went towards mata kunti and touched her feet with lots of guilt filled in me and


    she touching my cheek said "yashasvi bhava, I hope you always follow the path of dharma as it always


    take you to the right path and always show you right way to do things" saying this she went to her


    chariot making me feel more guilty about how i''m going to let what''s going to happen and I decided to


    go to my home.


    I went towards them and called maa out she turned and smileding towards me and asked "putra


    you!"and I said "I will stay here tonight, I have forgotten the taste of your food you will feed me with


    your hands na?", maa came towards me and said "putra why do you look so disturbed, tell me what


    happened putra" and pitashree said "don''t ask him anything, let him sit for some while, the fault of raj


    bhavan is that it feels nice to be there but soon it creates fire, in the heart of adharmi it creates fire for


    desire and wants and in dharmi heart it creates a fire of guilt and repentance", and mata said "karn if


    that''s the thing then leave all this, leave the raj mahal" and I said "it''s not possible mata, I can''t leave


    my mitra duryodhan" pitashree said "that''s why I told you that I will keep this house filled with dharam, I


    knew that there you will have to side adharma all the time, if you live with a snake today or tomorrow he


    will bite you".


    I said "he is not a snake pitashree, even he faced lots of injustice and it''s also true that always following


    the path of dharma is not a way to get what he wants" pitashree replied "if you think he is right then


    why are you so sad?" and I said "please don''t ask me this pitashree I am tied with a promised with


    mitra duryodhan and when the pirs of a mandir falls down it doesn''t make one sad, it''s sad when the


    murti kept in the mandir bes khandit that''s the fire burning inside me, please tell me a way to calm


    it down pitashree" and pitashree said "daan putra, daan is the only way one''s sins washes away and


    pray that duryodhan''s n never seeds and that way you and your mitra will be protected from


    paap".


    Without them knowing a person was hearing their conversation and went away knowing he has heard


    enough and went to tell his boss everything.


    VIDUR''S POV


    I had sent a spy on angraj karn as I knew something was eating him alive and I had a doubt that it''s


    rted to pandu''s family and had told my spy about telling me everything he hears.


    Soon that spyes to me and tells me everything he heard making me think why would angraj talk


    about mandir and it''s pirs as duryodhan''s only enemy is pandavas then it clicked me why he says


    that if pirs fall it doesn''t make any difference but if the murti is khandit it does, it means duryodhan is


    nning to kill bhabhishree kunti and putri aadhya with the pandavas too how can they do this sin, I


    have to send this message to them as soon as possible. I told my spy to take a sack filled with rice and


    a mouse to them and he asked any message to them and I said yes only one "when we bury a seed it


    grows as hundred grains of rice" you can go now and leave tomorrow morning.


    DRITARASHTR''S POV


    I was in the practice room thinking why was there a sudden n of the pandavas going to varnavat


    causing to lose my focus on aiming and then duryodhan entered the room so I told all the soldiers to go


    away and asked him is he really going to do what I think and to my surprise he agreed without


    hesitation making me feel more guilty and I said "you are even going to kill kunti and aadhya putra don''t


    do that what will I say to my forefathers and pandu when I die and how will I face them" and he said


    "what difference will it make and anyways aadhya is our enemy as much as the pandu putra’s are! she


    is actually more annoying than them it would be better off if she is dead with her so called bharata''s


    and kakishree dying won''t make any difference what will she do living alone anyways and you better be


    quite as you were like when I tried to poison bheem in childhood" I tried to convince him once again but


    he just said "dharma is what you always choose when you have to choose between me or dharma so


    let me do it my way" saying this he went away making me guilty over what I have done.


    VARNAVAT


    SAHADEV''S POV


    We reached varnavat and climbed down our horses and we were weed by purochan, his family


    and some men working under him and purochan greeted jesth bharata and mata then jesth bharata


    asked "this ce is quite far from the nagar of varnavat purochan" and he replied "oh yes yuvraj, we


    wanted to make a majestic pce for you guys and we wouldn''t find such big ce in nagar that''s


    why" and bharata bheem asked "where is the pce underneath the ground?" and purochan said


    "don''t joke around rajkumar it''s here in front of us wait I will show you right now" saying this he moved


    the mirror so it can reflect light and soon due to reflection of light we could see the pce making us


    awe at the beautiful scene and purochan said "we made this pce in such a way that it lights with the


    light of moon and there is no need of any diya''s or mashal''s".


    We entered the pce and mata kunti said "we at least need to burn one diya or it will be ashub"


    hearing that purochan told his wife to bring a diya and she brought a diya and mata lighted the diya and


    we entered further into the pce. We entered themon room and we were looking around and


    then purochan said "as I said it only needs moonlight me and my son have used all our wisdom to


    make this and as you can see no need to light diya''s" and jesth said "adbhut! we have never seen


    anything like this before" and bharata bheem said "you are right jesth and we should reward them


    something for making this pce so beautifully" and purochan said "you staying in a ce created by


    me is more than enough".


    I was not feeling good with this ce and I was very suspicious about everything and I asked "how will


    you light the pce on the night of amavasya?" and bharata bheem said "why are you worrying for


    such stuff, just enjoy here and we won''t even be here till the amavasya anyways and i''m sure nakul will


    be the person who enjoys the most here as there are so many mirrors" we all looked at him and saw


    that he was actually admiring himself but hearing bharata bheem he came forward making allugh


    and jesth bharata said "but the question is logical how will you light the pce on the night of


    amavasya even I want to know" and purochan little panic about this question being brought up said


    "me and my son will think of something till then for sure yuvraj" after he said that we all went to look


    around more and after everything we called it a night.


    NAKUL''S POV


    I was shocked sensing someone near me I opened my eyes and was about to scream but that person


    put his hands on my mouth preventing me from screaming and turns out it was bharata bheem, he


    pulled me out of our room and I asked "why did you wake me up at night bharatashree?" and he said


    "are nakul I can''t find the rasoi kaksh so I woke you up so you can help me finding it" and I said "oh


    bharata bheem the answer to find the rasoi kaksh was long given to us, we have to use our nose and


    follow the smell remember?" and he said "I can''t find it even with the help of my nose that''s why I woke


    you up" I sighed and said "you could have just called the door guard" and I screamed calling the guard


    and bharata bheem stopped me saying "what are you doing nakul everyone will wake up scream


    slowly!" and I replied "it''s their job to be awake anyways" and called them again.


    A guard came and asked us the reason to be called for and I said "show bharata bheem way to rasoi


    kaksh" and I turned to leave but what he said stopped me he said "but the rasoi kaksh is out of the


    pce rajkumar" and bharata bheem pissed about it asked "that means in such a big pce there is


    no rasoi kaksh"- and was interrupted by purochaning along with his wife who had a tray full of food


    and said "please forgive us rajkumar I didn''t have the knowledge that you would eat at mid night, from


    now on this dasi will stand with the food every night outside your room" and the dasi gave the food to


    bharata bheem who happily epted it.


    I doubted this situation and asked "why didn''t you make rasoi kaksh inside the pce itself?" and he


    said "so it doesn''t cause you all inconvenience" and bharata bheem replied "are!! you have increased


    my inconvenience by doing so I want a rasoi kaksh built by tomorrow" purochan tired to reason with us


    but bharata bheem said "kya kintu parantu, I don''t want to hear anything and would the pce burn


    down if you make a rasoi kaksh in it, no right? then you better make one" having no option he agreed


    and it just made me doubt more "why wouldn''t they make a rasoi kaksh in the first ce this is such a


    big pce" but letting it go me and bharata bheem made our way to our room and called it a night after


    bharata bheem and I ate the food.


    NEXT MORNING


    DWARKA


    AADHYA''S POV


    Next morning after doing puja there was nothing to do as both rukmini jiji (sry guys yesterday I called


    her bhabhi instead of jiji my mistake!!) and sakhi were busy so I decided to go to the sea shore for


    sometime as there was still time for breakfast and I saw avyukt standing there alone I went towards him


    and said "good morning! did you sleep wellst night after eating?" I finished with giggling and he said


    "good morning to you to aadhya!, how can I not! I did have a goodpany with mest night while


    eating and it''s said that if we eat with goodpany it''s more fun and satisfying plus getting a beautiful


    name like "avyukt" was the best thing about yesterday" when he finished saying that I was actually


    thinking "him saying my name make it sound more wonderful for some reason now and him saying


    getting a new name from me was the best thing about yesterday made me have little butterfly in my


    stomach"


    I was removed out of my thoughts when avyukt asked "so ready to leave for varnavat?" and I said "well


    i''m always ready but to answer your question yes i''m" and he said "oh well that''s good take care of


    yourself there and have a great journey" when he finished saying that I don''t know why I could feel a


    kind of sadness, concern and care in it and for some reason it felt that we won''t be meeting anytime


    soon so I said "don''t worry avyukt I will take care" and smiled at him cheerful hoping his mood would lift


    up and we just stood there for some time and he said "let''s go i''m sure breakfast is ready and you are


    dying of hunger" and chuckled after finishing his sentence and I said "for once I will have to agree with


    you" and we both chuckled at what I said and started walking back.


    KRISHNA''S POV


    Waiting at the sea shore for my priye as I knew she would show up here and she did and said a


    beautiful sweet good morning making my day more better and hearing her thoughts about how she


    thinks me saying her name makes it more beautiful and then having butterflies cause of me made me


    feel sukh, I was sure my priye is starting to developing some tiny feelings for me oh how i''m enjoying


    every little second with her and how she smiled so she could lift up my mood makes it more special for


    me, oh priye this picture of you smiling right now just for me will always will be in my heart, we will meet


    soon priye and when we do new chapters of life will start. We then just went to eat food.


    NO ONE''S POV


    After breakfast everyone said their goodbyes and wished arjun and aadhya happy journey and revati,


    rukmini and subhadra hugged aadhya saying they will miss having her as they had lots of fun with her


    and wished that she will visit them soon and aadhya smilingly said "I will sure visit again, till then don''t


    miss me too much" making everyone giggle and then they left and krishna said he will drop them till the


    gates everyone nodded and said their final goodbyes.


    ARJUN''S POV


    Me and aadhya said our goodbyes to everyone and madhav said he will leave us till the gates we just


    nodded and walked there then after reaching the gates I told him "I have learnt so much from you in


    such less time, it was fun" and he said "only the ones who had the capacity to learn things can learn in


    the short time oh and yeah do go to visit triveni sangham and bath there without fail as there is hidden


    mata saraswati there and taking a bath while you remember the story will give you punya" confused I


    said "but I have never heard about such story madhav" and he said "it''s said that when mata saraswati


    couldn''t walk holding the holy fire onnd anymore she went underground" and I said "jo aadesh"and


    we hugged each other and he turned to aadhya saying "you take care yourself and go bath in triveni


    sangham that is if you even want any punya in life" and we both giggle looking at the expression


    aadhya gave and she replied "avyukt of course I will do plus I have done a lot punya already by not


    giving you a punch in the face" she as always gave her sassy reply but I then asked her "avyukt? when


    did you start calling madhav that?" and she said "you don''t need to know" and madhav said "why


    doesn''t he aadhya, don''t worry parth the journey is long aadhya will tell you everything in details, isn''t


    that right aadhya!?" he said with a mischievous smile making me confused when did they even get this


    close and then aadhya blushed a little and said "whatever, bharata let''s go we are gettingte!" she


    said giving a re to madhav and pulled me along with her and we started our journey towards


    varnavat.
