parth's attraction for his panchali 😳 :-
Parth walked blindly around the open palace grounds in the rain.he did not understand why panchali tempted him beyond reason,why her mere presence drove him insane.her unassailable composure got under his skin,fascinated him and disturbed him no end.
Just like govinda,he thought.
He wondered how,for all that he had seen in the world,he could be so short-sighted.not everyone is an impassioned,irrational kuru.
But was it just that?was there not something much more primal,more irresistible?
He thought of the sairandharis who shared her bed,of their hushed confessions of how even they could not stop themselves from staring at panchali,at her perfect form as she bathed,as she dressed,as she slept-all of it,they insisted,in innocent ignorance of her own beauty.partha listened to their stories and then pleasures them with fury as his mind rested on panchali alone.
How dare you!she's your brother's wife this year .but even as he remonstrated himself,his anger at her,at his brothers,raised its head."I am not the only one who wants her".dharma's eagerness had been all but transparent that day in kampulya.partha briefly wondered if this were some plot or trick to drive a wedge between the 5 brothers.after all,greater men had made fools of themselves over a woman.striding even faster through the rain,he dismissed the idea.no matter what,the five of them would remain undivided.but what about panchali?
She's mine,his mind argued.i won her with my skill and valour.
Do you love her? A voice inside his head asked,tentative at first through it grew stronger:or do you just resent the fact that your righteous elder brother enjoys the fruit of your toil?
No!i won't think that way.my duty is to my elder and I will die for him if need be.
Indeed,you will,the voice seemed to say,before dissappearing.but don't forget that you wanted her as your OWN.
