Chapter 6
Droupadi was standing by the small cut window of her tent, looking out at the crescent moon. Her thoughts were in a jeopardy, she had just gone out hearing a commotion and found Nakul bieng carried in by Dushyasan. It was a strange sight, the man who would have killed him in the morning had now saved his life. Bheem had also looked surprised and tensed, Nakul was okay now. She loved her Devars and so was worried about them. Bheem had always been protective of her, Arjun her closest friend and Nakul-Sahadev as adorable as her sons. She thought of her Arya in the forest, he could have helped her now. She thought of Govind, he had to leave for dwarka. She remembered,
flashback
She had gone to Karn's room to check on Arjun when Govind walked in. "Guptcharon se khabar mili hai ki Danav Kalnemi ka putra apni sena ke saath Dwarka pe akraman karna chahta hai" he informed "aise me dau bhi waha nahi hain, isiliye hume waha jaana hoga" "Madhav, mai jaanta hun aapko jaana hi hoga par mujhe aapki bohot awashakta hai, mai phir dishahin ho chuka hun." "Nahi Parth" Krishna had said "tum dishahin nahi ho, kadachit in ashruon ki vajah se tumhe disha dikhai nahi de rahi hai, jab ashru sukh jaayenge disha aapne aap dikh jaayegi" "Par aise mein mera mitra kya mere saath nahi hoga" Arjun asked again "Humare mitra humari antaratma ki awaz hote hain Parth, humari mitrata bandhan ka daas nahi, tum mujhse aur mai tumse kabhi prithak nahi, jab bhi tumhari antaratma tumse kuch kahe gyaat rahe ki wo mai hi hun" Krishna smiled, and Arjun returned the smile. "Aap jaiye Madhav, raksha karna aapka dharm hai, apni pira mein mai bismrit ho gaya thha aap kabhi mujhse door nahi" Arjun replied. "Ek baat humesha yaad rakhna Paarth, kabhi kabhi ghanghor tufaan bhi apne saath indradhanush le aati, isiliye sabra rakho" Krishna said. "Aur sakhi, Aryavarta ka bhavishyon aaj bhi tumpar nirvar karta hai, parivartan ka prarambh prem se karna hai ki yaa vidhwansh se ye tumhe sochna hai, smaran koi bhi maarg saral nahi" he said to Panchali "Ab main prasthhan karta hun pranipat." "Pranipat Madhav" they said in unison.
end of flashback
She knew Madhav had to go, he must have reasons for it, she believed him. But even her Arya was not there, at least he could help her sort out. "Kya soch rahi ho jiji" she got starteled by Shubhadra's voice. She never noticed when she walked in. "Soch rahi hun uss dyut sabha ke bvishay mein" she said. "Aap ke liye ye bohot kathin hain na jiji" Shubhadra said "jinhone aapka apman kiya unhike saath milkar karya karna" "Haa kathin toh hai" she replied "par mein uske baare mein nahi vichaar kar rahi thi. Mai bas soch rahi thhi ki uss din jis Duryodhan aur Dushyosan ko maine dekha thha, aur aj jinhe dekh rahi hun wo itne alag kaise. Jo mera kesh pakarke niche khich laaya aaj wo mujhse netra nahi mila raha. Aise lag raha hai jaise, aaj tak woh ek mukhote(mask) ke niche thhe aaj jab hriday pe chot lagi tab mukhota titar bitar ho gaya aur andar ka insaan bahar aaya. Mera inhone jo apman kiya usko kshama karna atyant kathin hai, par sach kahu Shubhadra mai sajya hun inhe kshama karne ke liye. Ekbar mauka dekar dekhne ke liye ke insaan duryodhan kaida hoga. Kyunki jo aapne mitra ke pranon ke liye apne atma samman ki aahuti de sakta hai, wo itna bhi bura nahi ho sakta" "Aap sach mein agni kanya ho didi" Shubhadra gaped at her in awe "Nahi Shubhadra main mahan nahi. Kadachit maine vichaar kiya ki uss din jo huya wo sayad hona hi thaa, maine bhi toh 'andhasya putra andham' kaha thha uske pita ke baare mein. Haan uska shodh uss tarah lena adharm thha, par kabhi kabhi humare karya humare sangat ka pratik hote hai. Uske karya kahin na kahin mama shakuni ka pratik thhe. Aaj jab wo nikat nahi yeh itne bhi bure nahi" droupadi said "Aur mai yeh nahi chahti jo mere Abhimanyu ke saath huya wo kisi aur putra ke saath ho, hum iravan ko kho chuke, Abhimanyu iss avashtha mai hain, mai nahi chahti ki aur apne ek dusre ke virudh lare, mai aur ek putra khaun mere liye yeh pira aur sahna asambhav hai. Mai naho chahti Arjun ki tarah aur koi anuj apne bhrata ko hatya karne ke paap ke bojh tale aise dabe itni pira se guzre. Aryavarth mein parivartan ki kiran iss Kuruvansh ke milan se shuru hogi. Mai kshama karungi unhe, agar iss milan ka yahi mulya hai toh mai chukane ke liye sajya hun" she finished, solemn and resolved radiating a glow like the fire of yagya, The true Yajnaseni.
Next morning, Arjun was sitting beside Karn's bed holding his hand when Vrishasena walked in. He looked at his fathers ashen face and then looked at Arjun. And like a wind he dashed at him pushing him of the bed. "Aapne mere pitah ko sparsh kaise kiya" he bellowed angrily "aap ka koi adhikar nahi hai in par." Arjun stood there silent with bowed head. In his mind he knew Vrishasena's anger was more than justified. "Aarey aap ne toh unhe chal se parajit kiya" Vrishasena continued "aap yodha kehlane ke laayak nahi" "Vrishashena meri..."Arjun spoke at last "Aarey aap kya kahenge aap" Vrishasena cut him short "keval baatey hi kar sakte hain. Aap anuj hain mere pitaji ke? Aur aapne swayam unki ye dasha ki. Shastra uthaiye aur ab mujhse lariye yah aap jivit rahenge yaa mai" he growled like a tiger "Aarey aao kya larenge aap ke liye brihannala swarup hi thhik hai, aur agar aisa nahi hai toh dwand kijiye mujhse" he pushed Arjun again "Dwand kijiye" he shouted ..."VRISHASENA" suddenly it was Vrishali who shouted from the door way. "Kis prakar vivaad kar rahe ho tum apne kakashree se, abhi kshama mangon inse" she looked angry. "Maata inhone humare pita ji ki yeh avashtha ki ye aur kakashri" saying this he spat on the ground. "Vrishasena bas bohot hua" Vrishali said "Aao humare saath" she pulled him out and dragged him. She dragged him in front of a tent. As Vrisha sena entered he saw a boy lying on the bed, his body lifeless, his face pale. A girl, young and pretty but haggard looking was sitting beside him holding his hands. "Jaante ho yeh kaun hai" she said to Vrishasena "Tumhare Kakashree ke putra Abhimanyu. Veer yodha tumhare pitaji kahte thha, iske yaha iss prakar rehna ka karan jaante ho?" "Nahi" Vrishasena said dreading the answer. He was younger than himself, yet he looked so lifeless. "Tumhare pitashree aur Kaurav. Tarpa tarpake yeh dardnak stithi ki hai unhone iski, par bhi aaj dekho tumhare sare kaka unhe bachane ke liye aapna sab tyagna ko sajya hai." Vrishasena now walked up to the bed and touched Abhimanyu's forhead "Yeh toh mera anuj hi hain na maata" he asked "haan putra" She replied. "Kakashree ne kshama kar diya pitashree ko is karya ke liya" he asked half dazed, not even noticing that he had called Arjun Kakashree. "Haan putra, kya tum jaante ho tumhare pitashree ko mani ke aane tak jivit rakhne ke liye tumhare kakashree Arjun appna rakt jal ki tarah baha rahe hain, anjalik ashtra ke ghav ko khoon se sench kar."
"Kya? Kya unke liye pitashree ja jivit rehna itna awashwak hai?"
"Unke bhraata jo hai"
"Ye bhi toh mera bhraata hai, mera anuj hai toh iska jivit rehna bhi toh mere liye utna hi awashyak hona chahiye" he pointed at Abhimanyu. "Tum thhik ho jaayoge mere anuj, phir hum saath mein sastra abhyaas karenge aur humare pitaaon se bare yodha banenge" he whishpered in Abhimanyu's years. Then he suddenly rushed out of the ten and stromed towards Karna's tent, Vrishali behind him. Vrishasena stromed in again. Arjun who was again sitting beside Karn, stood up and before he could register anything Vrishasena just ran and hugged him. Arjun was in complete shock. "Mujhe kshama kar dijiye Kakashree" he heard the boy sobbing "Pitashree ko aise dekh main sab bhool gaya, maine aapse aise baat ki" "Nahi putra" Arjun said retirning the hug "tumhara krodh swabhabik thha, mai tumse bilkul naaraz nahi. Shaant ho jaai" he pushed Vrishasena back. He bent down and wiping his tears said "Sab thhik ho jaayega, bharatashree thhik ho jaayenge thhik hai" Arjun said. "Sach?" Vrishasena asked in child like daze. "Ekdam such" Arjun replied not completely believing it himself "Aao apne pitashree ke nikat baitho" he took him to Karn's bed. Vrish sat beside Karn and held Karn's hand, it was so cold but pulse was there he kissed it. And then suddenly turned ti Arjun again and hugging him round the waiste he started sobbing again, scared. Vrishali watched from door way as Arjun patted Vrishasena's back. She was proud that she hadn't raised her son wrong, she had raised him to be a human bieng...
