Arjun's P.O.V.
We were in Mata's chamber she and Panchali had tears flowing down her cheeks Mata looked at Panchali and held her hand
"Putri Draupadi..." called Mata, Panchali looked at her, Mata looked at us six bhaiyo
"always... always be there for my putro... Henceforth, it is your duty to dispense advice to them." said Mata
"What advice will I give them, Mata? Your sons need your mamta and experience, Mata." said Panchali
"No, putri. A Mata... thinks of the happiness of her putro... But a patni... Along with the happiness of her pati, a wife also thinks of his respect... Now... now that it is time for my sons to have their respect... and by conquering the world they have the opportunity to make their ancestors proud maybe... Maybe my mamta... My mamta may obstruct their path. A decision taken by fate is always correct, putri...." said Mata, I looked at her and shook my head I walked to Mata sat down in front of her and held her hands I shook my head
"No Mata... This decision of fate is not correct. Fate is stone-hearted. Without your cheerful face to guide us how will we ever find our way, Mata? How will we find our way..." I said I put my head on Mata's lap she stroked my head
"What Maharaj did was unjust! He has no right to keep our Mata away from us." said Nakul
"How can a Mata... ever stay away from her Santan, Kul? I am..." Mata lifted my head I looked at her she cupped her hand on my cheeks
"I am always with you. But this is my home. I had come here with my pati. Until I am alive... there is no other place I can call home, putra." said Mata I shook my head
"But Mata..."
"This is not the time for such things, putra." Mata interrupted bhrata Bheem, Mata looked at Jyesht she stood up and walked to him
"Remember." said Mata as I stood up
"No matter what situation you face in your life all of you must accept the decisions made by Karn." said Mata we nodded
"You will not argue with him." said Mata she looked at Panchali
"Putro," Mata called, we looked at her
"It is your responsibility to protect Draupadi and her houner" she said we all nodded
"Putri Draupadi..." called Mata, Panchali looked at her, Mata walked to her
"From now on, my six putro are your responsibility. My Karn and Yudhisthir are gentlemen." she said and looked at me walked to me cupped her hand on my cheek
"But my Arjun, he never shares anything that is in his heart that will hurt, worry or trouble someone but it troubles him, so try to understand his heart." she said, and looked at bhrata Bheem walked to him she put her hand on bhrata Bheem's shoulder
"As for my Bheem, take care of his food. Make sure he eats on time he gets very when his stomach is empty." said Mata, slightly hitting bhrata Bheem's stomach we chuckled she looked at Nakul and Sahadev walked to them cupped her hands on their cheeks
"As for my Nakul and Sahadev, they are naughty and irresponsible." said Mata, she looked at Panchali
"So, if they prank you or tease you, please forgive them." said Mata, Panchali nodded Mata walked to a corner and started crying we exchanged looks Mata wiped her tears turned around she spread out her arms asking us to hug her, we exchanged looks again and hugged her we pulled away. Mata walked to Panchali and smiled Panchali flung her arms around Mata and started crying on her shoulder, Mata hugged her back they pulled away Mata wiped Panchali's tears shaking her hear telling her Don't cry Panchali nodded
