PROLOGUE PART 2
A sutaputra's hands is only eligible to drive chariot.Not
to hold bow and arrow'
A sutaputra can never become my student.'
A sutaputra should be in his limit and dream only which he
is capable of'
Defeated
For the first time in his life the same karn who never accepted
his defeat in front of the judgmental society felt completely defeated when
the moist and painful eyes of the woman who loved him with her heart and soul flashed
in front of his eyes .Karn never in his life intentionally caused pain to
anyone especially with words as he know how a single word can hurt ones soul
and leave a permanent mark behind .The verbal wounds which the society gave him
is still fresh and even today it hurts him like hell and after coming to know
how a single cruel word can tear a person's soul and confident Karn promised himself
that he will never ever hurt even his worst enemy with words.But today he felt
like the worst scum on the face of the earth after breaking the promise by
hurting the only person who saw him as a person after his mitr Duryothan .He
know what he did a few hours back is a grave sin and he could never forgive himself
till his last breath for hurting the only woman who cared and loved him after his mother without expecting anything in
return.
When he came to hastinapur to participate in the competition
few months back he never thought he will became a king the same day for Anga
kingdom or will gain a friend like Duryothan who loved him like his own flesh
and blood. Though karn was surprised by the turn of events he was glad and
happy that he found a friend like duryothan in his life as for the first time
in his life someone appreciated and saw his talent.But what he never expected
was to find love in the same hastinapur and that too in the best friend of his
mitr and also his enemy uruvi.Yes the sutaputra karn who decided to keep the
feeling love far away from his wounded heart fell in love with someone whom he
never should.
The day he met uruvi he was shocked to see her being the
charioteer for Arjun when they fought each other and he was really impressed on
seeing how well she drove the chariot.But what surprised him the most was the
fact that she was also the best friend of Duryothan who hated the pandav's w from
the core of his heart.But after spending more time around uruvi he understood
she can make anyone her best friend as she has the most kind and pure
heart.This quality of hers attracted him further towards her and he felt himself
enjoying her company when she came to
spend some time with duryothan . But as the days passed he started to respect
and care for her when she defended him whenever someone ill treated him by
calling him sutaputra and when she treated him as her equal.She even fought
with her best friend Arjun when he insulted him on the day when he became
charioteer for kunti accepting his father's punishment.Her every single smile
and care which she showed towards him became a medicine for his mental wounds
and he never know when he fell in love with her.At first he denied and avoided the
feeling as he know it will only cause him more pain as a kshariya princess like
her will never love him and he didn't deserve her.But when he finally saw the
same love and care for him in uruvi's eyes and in her silent acts to provide
him comfort and love Karn felt like the luckiest soul in the world.He was even
ready to accept all these feeling and decided to confess this to uruvi.But the
insult he faced in draupadi's swayamvar gave him a reality check and he decided
to wake up from his dream of having a future with uruvi.Then he decided to avoid
uruvi as much as possible but uruvi being her stubborn self never let that happen
and broke his resolve again by making him to find comfort in her arms and she
again healed his wounds which was caused by draupadi's words with her
unconditional love and care for him.Even though uruvi broke his resolve of avoiding
her he became more determine to hide his true feeling from her and acted like a
blind man to uruvi's indirect confessions thinking that she will leave it if he
continued to treat her only as a friend.But when she entered his chamber before
few hours with a determined face he know he was in trouble and when she finally
confessed her feeling he felt like the most blessed and cursed human on the
earth. Blessed to know he is loved by the most loving and pure hearted girl
like uruvi and cursed for being the person who could never openly love her back
the way she loves him.Karn know he has to hurt uruvi in order to give her a
future which will be filled with happiness and love which she deserves and not
a future which will hold insults and pain.So by making his heart a frozen lake
he silently slapped her with his rejection and the pain and heartbreak he saw
in her eyes and soul before she rushed out of his room made him felt like
someone ripped his heart out of his chest.The moment uruvi left his room karn
for the first time in his life lost his anger completely and broke everything in
room like a wounded lion and finally crumbled on the floor as nothing was left
to break.
I am sorry Uruvi. I am extremely sorry.If possible please
forgive one day for the pain I caused you'karn said as a silent tear escaped
his eye.
He then looked at his hand which was covered in blood by
breaking the mirror and smiled bitterly recalling the bitter and cruel words of
guru dronachari and others.
When these hands never deserved to hold a bow and arrow how
can I hold the most precious gift of god like you uruvi.How can I taint a
precious flower like you with my tainted past 'karn whispered and closed his
eyes by leaning back on the wall feeling like a lifeless and defeated soul who
lost all the reason for his living.
And this is how Duryothan found his mitr who came to visit
him after seeing his broken friend uruvi.On seeing Karn's condition all the
anger left Duryothan and he silent walked towards his mitr's crumbled form and
sat beside him silently seeing his wounded hand and his destroyed room.
Mitr'Duryothan called karn after placing his hand on karn's
shoulder soflty .
On feeling Duryothan's touch Karn opened his eyes and the
pain and heartbreak Duryothan saw in his mitr's eyes shook him to the core and
he understood his mitr is going through the same pain as his uruvi.Karn on the
other hand know why his mitr came to see him now and understood the pain he is
seeing in Duryothan's eyes was actually uruvi's pain.
I broke her completely right?I caused her pain like no one
ever could right?'Karn asked in a broken voice and Duryothan pulled karn in his
arms like Bhanumathi did with uruvi few minutes back as he couldn't see his
mitr in pain like this.
Duryothan though the pain he saw in his mitr's eyes when
someone insulted him due to his caste is the worst pain he could ever see in a
person's eyes.But the pain he is seeing right now in his mitr's eyes made his
feel the previous pain he saw in his
eyes like nothing.He couldn't understand why his mitr will cause such an
unbearable pain to himself and uruvi like this as he can see how much his mitr
loves his best friend by seeing his physical and emotional wound for hurting
uruvi.But at this moment he decided to find the reason later and console his
broken friend.
I am sorry mitr.I am sorry for hurting uruvi karn said
hugging his friend back letting the silent tears flow while Duryothan sat there
silently wondering why the fate is playing such a painful game with his two
best friends like this and became determined to cure both of his best friend's pain
even if it cost him everything he loves.
