...He looked at me melting my heart ..

Those unspoken words were on his lips it seems at last...

These lines were simply fab!! Nothing more to say on them! 👏

"I was born as a mistake of a pious woman... a mistake which became my destiny forever..

So true these lines are...one of most painful truth of his life!!! 😭 Sometimes I wish why he had to know his birth's truth... as if emotional turbulence in him was less! If ever I meet God, I need to know its answer! Answer for giving too much of emotional pain to him!!! For Karna the truth was told in wrong time! And most confusing part of whole thing is, it was told with the consent of God! Many people suffer.. but for him life was full of unjust actions whose outcomes are emotionally painful!

I am stressing lot on word 'emotion' that's because I believe no one in the epic would have gone through such an emotional conflicts!

She never asked me anything..If she would have just once...I would have given up anything...

These lines are so beautiful that I feel like writing an OS based on these lines.. If you find it ok, for these were your lines!

It broke my father's heart.. and not only his... Another father cried above... which I sensed in his heat... in those burning rays firing those who were crushing his son's soul..."

love the way you portrayed his relationship with his fathers! Mostly people only concentrate on his relation with his mothers! And I love how you always subtly brings the emotion of Surya Dev in your writing!

You will find so many Karnas around... trying to make place in this society where influential and powerful just crush those innocent dreams brutally..

So true! Like my best friend always says Karna is hero of Kalyug! Look around you might see his reflection in many!

Right or wrong...whatever he was...He was just a human..We all make mistakes in our life..But that guilt...that feeling ..I wish I would not have done that.. this feeling itself is killing...

This is one truth, I would like to yell to the world who comes up criticizing him! In the epic Mahabharatha, there is no character who is flawless! And if one actually puts them into the shoes of Karna, the so called mistakes which people criticize him of aren't even mistakes!

I need to read part 5! Will read it soon! So eager to know your take on this!

Brilliant writing!

So true! He had to bear all the brunt of her mistake 😡

"I was lucky enough to have Radha Ma in my life... God was too kind with me 😡...She was my savior..my guardian angel... sent to give me shield in this harsh world... She raised me...loved me more than her children...She gave me my identity .. I could only give her back tears in return... She never asked me anything..If she would have just once...I would have given up anything...But she never did.. She always wanted to see me happy..Something that I could not give her... My pain and struggle in life caused her more agony...I wish I could have slept more often in her lap but ..." 😭 🥺 😭

^^This para is making me 😭 😭 😭

You are too good, Riti 👏

Beautiful update Riti .. Karna is still so sad😭 .. make him happy plzzz ..

you portrayed karma's emotion beautifully though I believe Duryadhana's intention was totally pure while making Karna a friend but I don't mind reading different POV when it is coming from sensitive people .. keep writing .. want to read more from you

"I was in a situation where whole world looked like as stranger..and the only hand that came forward was of a friend.. A friend who didnt question my caste ..who didnt question my birth.. who didnt ridicule my abilities... He just stood there like a solid wall.. for first time in my life...there was someone who was speaking for me... and not indulged in throwing insults... He was a royal blood..and me a commoner then.. Still He showed his large heart that day ..I got indebted to him for the rest of my life..."

This is exactly how I myself thought Aarya felt about Dury 😳

There was a man in front of me who chose to brave that situation in life with such dignity and grace..and He didnt fail anyone ..neither his friend..nor his brothers..but yes perhaps he was not fair on himself then...

And that's exactly my opinion as well...anybody else in that predicament would have never been so dignified. This reminds me of a line from 'Karna's Wife' when Uruvi comes to know about his decision.

"He refused heaven and prefers death, Uruvi cried silently."

And when had he ever been fair with himself?
