Subhadhra OS ||~mother's heart~||

A day before war, there were silence. All were immersed in deep thoughts. Serious thinking and grave thoughts flushed through everyone, no one wanted to think of what will happen to them and their loved ones. War is not of winning and losing, it's about the endless sacrifices laid down for the cause of victory. No one other than Vasudev and Draupadi knew the outcome, the outcome of sacrifices but somewhere deep down your heart will tell you, it will give you joy and pain to make you prepare for something which is on its way, it will not reveal you the truth bluntly but yes it will let you know what is on its way through hints and intuitions.

Does she know his fate? No! If one would ask her but then why should she always tell him to die in cause of her elder sister's humiliation? Why she always tells him that his life is to sacrifice for this cause? Ever since his birth she knew the reason of why he is born. All are born for a cause to fulfil in this world and she knew her son's cause, after all she is his mother. She never knew war's outcome, no one ever told her but her heart knew that her son will not be with her after the war.

"Should I hope against the odds?" She asked herself "maybe not, I should be proud of my son and should not cry, for he is one of the greatest person and world will remember him".

As she consoled herself with these words, those frozen tears on her eye lids flushed out, after all a mother's heart will ache to know that her son will die. And soon she wiped those tears seeing her son turning towards her. Wiping away the tears from her eyes she looked at her son with an affectionate smile.
