Chapter 9

Bhanumati walks to Duryodhana.
Bhanumati (whispers)-" Arya I told you everything trough the letters. Pitashree wanted to cele-"
Duryodhana-" I don't want to hear it from you Bhanu!(to Dhritarashtra) Pitashree what was the need to call the Pandavas when you already have such a big family?! Tell me where did we lack?!Or was it Pitamah Bhishma who wanted this? Ofcourse even if we try our best it will never satisfy you.. After all we the Kauravas are the wicked born while the Pandavas the celestial beings! "
Yudhishthir-" Duryodhan it's nothing like that. Yes it is true that Pitamah wanted all of us to gather together. After all for how many years will we keep our children in dark ,shouldn't they meet eachother?"
Duryodhana-"I would rather kill Laxman rather then let him mix with your sons!"
Upapandavas and the Upakauravas were shocked. Lakshmana quietly pulls Laxman away from Prativindhya. The fear in her eyes was evident.
Bhanumati-" Arya please you are scaring the kids. Please don't do this! Bhrat karna please say something."
Arjuna-" Bhanumati you don't need to ask him. After all a outsider isn't allowed to speak between us , especially when he is a suta."
Karna glared at him.

At this point Vrishasen and Chitrasen lost control,even if they bonded well with the Upapandavas they couldn't bare the continues taunts thrown at their father, Vrisha and Chitra had travelled throughout Aryavarta and knew about the rivalry between Karna and Arjuna . Karna felt a pang in his heart when he heard the word 'outsider'. He couldn't bare it anymore and left from there followed by Vrisha and Chitrasen.
Arjun (loud)-" Ofcourse let him LEAVE! KSHTRIYAS DON'T CELEBRATE FESTIVALS WITH SUTAS."
This was something new too Sushen and Shatrunjay. Their whole life was either in Anga or Hastinapur, nor did they went to a gurukul,karna taught them everything he knew, every single weapon, and every single trick.
Anga followed no discrimination though it was hard to maintain. It was clearly seen on their faces that they were hurt. Snigdha knew she had to get both of them out of the mess. She walked up to them and takes them out of the room from the back door which leads to the entrance. Shatrunjay turns towards Suthanu and gave her a 'no' nod. Suthanu didn't want him to go she didn't want their bond to end before it even started, what did Shatrunjay mean by no did he want to end this?
Sushen who always smiled wasn't anymore with her it shattered her heart to million pieces.

He had alot to say to her .But right now he only had one thing in his mind and he made her a promise...

(Sushen's thought-" I promise One Day we will meet and then we will never separate..)

Duryodhan was burning in range, he didn't like karna being insulted.
Duryodhana-" As Long as the Pandavas are here I will not stay in the palace I did celebrate Diwali with a suta rather than arrogant people. If you want me here Karn should also be here. And if you (points at Pandavas) have a problem then LEAVE!"
He along with Dushasan leave to stop karna.The Pandavas looked at the Upapandavas, Shrutakarm felt disgusted because of his father's behaviour, they all felt ashamed. They went back to their chambers to start packing.

With Upapandavas, Pandavas and Draupadi

Prativindhya-" Start packing your bags."
Suthanu was trying her best to control her tears, while the rest of them were packing.
Yudhishthir-" What are you all doing?"
Sutsom-" Packing ofcourse."
Arjun-" Stop it all of you!"
Shrutakarm-" Pitashree what you just now did was wrong! Even if you don't like angraj you didn't have to insult him because of his caste!"
Nakul-" Why putra is showing someone his place wrong?"
Shrutakrit-" Pitashree why don't you understand! This is just very wrong. Mata please tell them!"
Bheem-" What will your mata say? Huh Panchali? Not to insult someone because of their caste?"
Nitya-" Haan mata has always taught us not to insult anyone because of their caste. Right mata?"
Arjun-" Why would she say that when she has already done that?"
The Upapandavas stop , they seemed shaken. As the words sink deeper in them they couldn't believe it.
Pragti (slowly)-"Pitashree what do you mean by mata already did it?"
Arjun-" Ofcourse let me tell you about the swaya-"
Draupadi-" Arya please!"
Sahadev-" Panchali they need to know about it."

With Bhanumati, Laxman and Lakshmana

Bhanumati was on a wearge of crying.
Laxman-" Mata why was Pitashree so angry back then?"
Lakshmana(hugs bhanu from behind)-" Mata it's okay please tell us."
Drumasur -" Did something happen when Pitashree and Kakashree were young?"
Bhanumati-" Whatever I am going to tell you all now, just hear it don't let it affect your and the Upapandavas relationship. Promise me!"
Three of them nod. Bhanumati tells them about all the fights between the Kauravas and Pandavas, she even tells him how Duryodhana tried killing Bheem, and how wrongly Kauravas were bought up. The three of them at the moment didn't understand who was right and who was wrong. Like every action has a reaction, only if someone would have taken more efforts on the Kauravas maybe they would have been in better terms with the Pandavas?

Back with Upapandavas

On the other the Upapandavas were shocked on how their mother had refused to marry karna because of his caste, and how she got divided between them.
Prativindhya-" Its servers right to you mata! I always felt bad for you but now that I know this ,I don't know should I feel pitied or sympathize towards you. Only if you hadn't showed greed I think you would have been married to only Pitashree Arjun."
A tear fall from Draupadi's eye.
Yudhishthir (slightly loud)-" Prati your mata knows it you don't have to tell her!"
He simply picks his bag and leaves, followed by the rest.
At the gate of the palace everyone was waiting for them. Bhanu gave Draupadi a tight hug and apologised, who simply gave her a disagreeing nod. On their way back to Indraprastha the weather had become cloudy the sun couldn't be seen. Everyone had their own thoughts.
Suthanu looked at the flower tiara, was it over for them?
Pragti knew that it wasn't the end for them, they were just getting started and the last look on Sushen's face said that he would come for her and she was ready to wait.
Nitya had fallen asleep on Nakul's lap .
Arjun looked at Shrutakarm had he lost his respect in the eyes of his son?
Kunti simply prayed to the God to bring yeh brothers back somehow.

Unknown place

Dvipat -"Gurudev the weather got bad all of a sudden."
Person-" Ofcourse it would no pita would like to see his putra being insulted would he?"
Banasen-" Ofcourse not ."
Person-" It's the same here."
Dvipat-" So is Suryadev angry?"
Banasen-" Think so "
( Muffled voice from distance- Subhadra- " Jhest Kamal hai aap! What if they catch cold? Let's go!")
Dvipat and Banasen run.
Person looks up in disappointment if this continued the fate of kuruvansh won't change... Maybe he had to wait to see how the Pandavas and Kauravas use their second chance given to them niyati..

[ Sheesh. Pandavas and Kauravas keep on fighting! Who do you think this person is? Ofcourse it's a direct answer. Do you think it is over for Shatrunjay and Suthanu? How will they meet again?] ~ author
