Indumati kneeled in front of lakshmana and cupped her cheek, planting a kiss on her forehead she hugged lakshmana. Confused lakshmana reciprocated the hug, wiping her tears. " Remember always I am proud of you and would always be there with you " Indumati said, hearing Gandhari's cries, lakshmana shifted her attention towards her, but the screams of supriya and chandra made her jerk. Indumati had immolated herself in Vikarna's funeral. " Indu... " Chandra let out a loud cry and was about to run to the pure but dushala and supriya had held her.

Gandhari's cries intensified as she understood that she had lost her putra vadhu too. " This all is because of me, I am the reason of all this " Kunti broke down in tears. Vijaya and Subhadra held her by shoulders, " Why are you saying this bua, you haven't done anything " Subhadra consoled her. " I have abandoned my first born just few hours after his birth bhadra! " The revelation by kunti shocked everyone, " Mata... Who.. Who is your first born? " Nakul asked gulping. Everyone held their breath to listen thr answer .

" Angraj Vasusen! He is my first born, whom I have abandoned " Kunti broke into tears. Supriya almost fainted after hearing this, while lakshmana gritted her jaw in extreme anger. " Kunti, I know you are lying. You can't hide such huge secret from me. Don't try to take the blame on yourself " Gandhari held kunti's hands, in return kunti just wept. " How can you hide, such a huge secret from us mata! " Yudhishthir exclaimed. " You are the worst mother! You say my husband suffering through out his life, but still kept quiet. And you are revealing it now, if my husband would have known this, he would have stopped this war " Supriya's otherwise calm eyes we're red with anger now.

" I revealed it to him, but he refused to leave his dear friend alone. He just gave me a charity that he would not kill my any son except arjun " Kunti answered. " By relation you would become my mother - in - law, but I refuse to accept it. The lady who saw her own son suffering, but still kept quiet and at the end revealed it to him instead of her own sons, I can't call you my mother - in - law. My matashri would always be the suta lady who adopted by husband " Supriya was furious.

" You made us kill our own nephews mata, bhrata arjun killed jyeshth bhrata karna ! " Nakul lowered his gaze in anger. " This revelation is hurting me more than the death of my sons mata. I curse all women of the world, that henceforth no woman would be able to keep secret for a long time " Yudhishthir roared in anger. " I did ot for my father's respect sons, my heart always pained seeing karna in front of my eyes " Kunti cried.

Supriya was not in a condition to stand, so lakshmana took her back to the palace. The real reason was different, lakshmana couldn't stand all that was happening anymore, she felt alone, helpless . " Maa? " She slowly called Supriya, " How much mental pain he would have gone through mani, he suffered alone silently. He saw his own sons getting killed by their uncles " Supriya cried.
" Maa, kakashree is at a better place now, he wants you to be strong, not to cry " Lakshmana said with s smile. Supriya nodded in a yes as they continued their journey.

Lakshmana was sitting in the Royal library going through some books, when dushala came there. " The pandavas have arrived and we should welcome them " She said. Lakshmana twisted her mouth, " You want me to welcome murderers, the people who had killed my relatives " . " Lakshu, we can't blame only them, there was fault of my bhratas too. " Dushala said.

" When did I say it was only their fault, but my father didn't deserve that bheem kicking his head, kakashree karna didn't deserve being killed by his own brother. My brothers didn't deserve being killed by their own cousins and uncles " Lakshmana had raised her voice without her own notice. " How can pitamahi hide such a huge secret! Is she even a mother, she had... " Before lakshmana could complete, she felt a slap across her face. " You shouldn't speak like this about your elders, understood? " Dushala said with trembling lips.

Lakshmana sat on the floor, crying. No one had touched her since childhood and today her bua had slapped her. She understood, what she was doing was wrong, " You know, who you are now? You are the lone heiress of kauravas now. If you want you can prove the world that the kauravas weren't that bad, by your behavior, okay " Lakshmana nodded her head in a yes as both of them went to the main gate to welcome the pandavas.

Yudhishthir and draupadi entered followed by the remaining pandavas, pandav patnis, krishna, Uttara and Suthanu. Draupadi's eyes we're emotionless and same were everyone else's, they had lost their sons, brothers. Even after winning the world War they were left with nothing. Gandhari did their aarti half heartedly and blessed them, dhritarashtr moved forward to embrace him, but krishna forwarded a stone statue in front of him.

To everyone's astonishment, dhritarashtr crushed the stone statue, thinking he was bheem, venting the anger of the death of his sons. Seeing the subtle smiles on faces of Pamdavas and their wives, lakshmana felt as if they are smiling deliberately, to taunt her, to show her that her parents are no more and she is an orphan. " People speak a lot bhrata, but at the end you are the emperor " Bheem said with a smirk. Lakshmana felt as if these words were directed towards her. Joining hands in front of everyone she hurried to her chamber.

Reaching her chamber, lakshmana let out the tears she was hiding from everyone, there was small bottle of poison kept in the shelf in front of her. She grabbed the bottle and went to her inner chamber, making sure that no one is around, she gobbled the whole bottle of poison, thinking that this would end her pain. After a few minutes, her head spinned and stomach started to pain terribly, the poison was doing it's work.

She fell on the floor with a thud, blood coming from her mouth. A smile was still on her lips , she would meet her father, mother and Vrushali maa now.
