Chapter 118 117. It's For Peace
In the house of Karna, His parents arranged something which would set off the storm in not only the whole of Aryavart but also high heaven will not be spared by the chaos.
Right now the official first fiancé of Karna has a flushed face as blush covers her whole face turning beet red in shame because she knows the meaning of what passing down the bangles.
Since when she become conscious, She told by her family that she will marry someone named Karna, the son of a friend of father\'s, So she becomes quite curious about this boy.
There is that inherent curiosity which she could not be able to control whenever Karna\'s name is mentioned, So when she became 5 years old, She decided to know about this mysterious boy.
She started her search of gathering all information about Karna, Because of which she was always teased by her other siblings, But she didn\'t know why she wanted to know about him.
At first she thought because he is the son of a friend of her father, So they can be friends because of why she wanted to know more about him but that excuse obviously did not last long.
Then she thought maybe he is her future husband, So knowing about him is good this to know what he like and hate but that too quickly rejected, But at this point she didn\'t care to make excuses.
She just wanted to know about him. Wanted to know why is everytime name Karna spoken her heart race? Why can\'t she afterwards think about nothing but him? She didn\'t even meet him.
Her curiosity long since turned into an obsession, It should not happen. After all they not only they never met but also she is 7 years old and yet this already happened. Why? All it can be blamed on the fact this is not a normal world.
This is a world of the supernatural, a world filled with spirituality and divine power flows freely in the mortal realm from the heavens, So if something strange as this was happening only means that outside power is in play here.
"Thank you…mother."
Vurshali spoke with difficulty but was soon overwhelmed by shame and made her escape behind her safe place, Behind her mother.
But she made sure to keep the bangle given to her by Radha close to her body like that was the most precious thing in this world. Now she was just looking forward to the arrival of Karna and finally met with that mysterious boy.
She hopes she will get answers for her questions and also he will be as beautiful as he is rumoured to be.
Seeing her antics others just laughed off, It was refreshing to see the childish innocence, Especially for Radha as Karna never behaves childishly, He emotionally grown up infant to directly into an old man.
Though Radha love about her son that he never bothers her with childish things but she also hates why he never bothers her with childish things.
Don\'t try to understand it, Before mother she was also a woman, And we all know women\'s hearts is like a sea of needles, It\'s better not to analyse it for sake of one\'s sanity.
…..
"Where are these 4 run off? Hope just they are not up to their usual antics."
Karna was standing in the usual place where group meet everyday but now that he came here, No one was present, This never happens. They always fight about who will reach here first, So This is very unlikely for them. He right now could not help but be worried.
Not for those 4 but for the people they were going after, Who knows which unfortunate soul pissed them off? After all the only way those 4 came together was when they wanted revenge.
At least he only saw them united when they had a common goal, Which all the time is revenge.
"Hummm…I should go home but why don\'t I feel like it going there?...Of course I have a student now, How can I go away without seeing if he was settling in a new environment? Let\'s go to meet Eklavaya, But first go to meet gurudev."
Karna didn\'t know what to do when he didn\'t find his squad here. It\'s reasonable for others to think to go looking for them but Karna knows how worst of choice that will be.
The last time he made that mistake, He started a civil war between them and they totally forgot they were planning to get revenge together. Rather now a matter of concern becomes who he will join to get revenge which they had forgotten about.
So it\'s best to stay away from them, At least this way they work together, So now there is nothing to but for some reason he still did not wanted to go home at all. It\'s weird that normally he is eager to go and eat breakfast made by his mother.
But he just didn\'t feel like going home at all, His legs refused to go in the direction of his house, Karna was not able to understand why he was feeling this way but then he thought about it.
He just yesterday took in the boy with the potential to be one of the greatest archers, And yet he didn\'t have much heart-to-heart with his student, Plus he also had to go and meet his own Guru Durvasa.
It\'s best to do this. What if they become angry he didn\'t come to meet him first thing in the morning and cursed the whole kingdom? This sounds absurd but seeing his past history, That is still a huge possibility.
And so Karna made his way towards the royal palace, Which made him miss what was going to happen in the house.
…..
"So it\'s decided Adiratha, When Karna completes his study, We will marry two of them."
Vaibhav in the house of Karna said to Adiratha while smiling with happiness, Fixing the marriage of the daughter is both painful and happiest moment in the life of the father.
He was happy, Though he will be devastated to be separated from his daughter after 11 years but he was happy that she will be the Daughter-In-Law of this household, So he didn\'t have to worry about her well-being.
"Yes, When Karna will come back from study, We will hold their grand wedding, Wait till he comes here, We will announce him together of this news together."
Adiratha was also happy, Not only because he fulfilled his old promise but also because he found that the Vrushali would be perfect for his son.
She is shy while his son is quite outgoing. The personalities of these two will complement each other. She will put a little control on his chaotic behaviour and He will also encourage her to be open up a little.
Doing so, Both of them will grow together, enhancing the bond between them.
Here Radha was also sharing her joy with Madu\'s, Radha had long since forgotten they found Karna in the river, So giving her bangle to Vrushali holds way too much deep meaning for her, she can\'t believe she finally get the honour to give away her bangle to her future daughter-in-law.
\'Daughter-In-Law…Wait!? What about those four?\'
Radha was so lost in her joy of giving the bangle to Vrushali that for a moment she forgot the four people who had been buttering her up all this while. How will they react knowing this news?
Though it\'s totally normal for a man to have multiple wives, especially the king but first wife hold the most power in the harem. She, as the eldest wife can be said to become the leader of the harem.
That\'s why there were always internal fights to get either the attention of the King in the harem, but could not because the King most of the time are busy. So most harem members go to please the head of the harem, Who is the first wife.
Hence why Radha was worried, Will those girls will be under anyone\'s command?
Definitely not, She who has seen them grow up in front of her eyes knows that they only listen to Karna but that is the more of reason why they will never be under his first wife. This is now making her worry about her son\'s future.
\'Hope he can handle the wrath of those girls, If he asked this was Arya\'s decision, So he can\'t blame me.\'
Radha quickly figures out what she will do, So like every typical Indian mother she decides to let his father take care of this issue, Anyway Karna will never go against the words of his father.
\'Maybe it\'s good for them, Now there will be no fight over who will get to be the first wife of my son.\'
And then Radha thought about it a little and came to the conclusion that this is a good thing for 4 of them. Considering their personality, They will definitely fight tooth and tooth to get that place.
So for peace, it\'s better for others to have that place. This was the simple reasoning of Radha, innocent and ignorant her not even known what kinda forces will be provoked by this simple decision.
"THE GREAT KING DHRITARASHTRA AND MOTHER QUEEN GANDHARI ARE HEREEE!!!!"
People in the house wanted to talk about this more but a sudden announcement from the soldiers outside took them, Adiratha was first to stand up and go to the door to greet his lord.
