This story is similar to my other story "Mahabharat: What if".
Karn is Jyesht Pandav. He is the son of Pandu and Kunti. Pandu has two wives Kunti and Madri. Pandu and Kunti have four sons, Karn, Yudhisthir, Bheem, Arjun, Pandu and Madri have twins N...
"Will play a game of Dyuth with you." said Kakashree, evryone stopped smiling I walked to Kakashree I walked in front of him I looked at him with a serious face
"Before one accepts such an invitation the ministers of the Sabha and the experienced elders are always discussed with, Mahamantri." I said looking away
"Avashya. You may certainly discuss with them, Rajkumar Arjun." said Kakashree, I looked at him and smiled

I kneeled and touched his feet he held my forearms and pulled me up
"What do you suggest, Kakashree? Should we accept this invitation?" I asked, Kakashree smiled
"My suggestion? Sanik!" called Kakashree, a Sanik of Hastinapur he gave his staff to the Sanik and raised his hands ordering all the Sanik to leave
"Parihar!" ordered Jyesht, the courtiers left. Jyesht, Bhrata Yudhisthir, Bhrata Bheem, Tara, Nakul and Sahadev got up from their throne, walked to Kakashree, joined their hands
"Pranipat, Kakashree." they greeted and touched his feet
"Kalyan ho." he blessed them
"When a hunter sprinkles grains on the ground one must understand at once, Putra that he has set a trap." said Kakashree, I nodded
"Under no circumstance should this invitation be accepted. Under the appearance of a ceremony, this Shakuni has certainly been weaving a web of conspiracy." said Kakashree
"I suggest that we go to Hastinapur. The one who is plotting would get a hard blow of my fist. He would tremble in fear then." said Bhrata Bheem
"Dices can be an answer in Dyuth, Bhrata Bheem. We won't be able to resort to a fight there." said Sahadev
"But when Kakashree has suggested us not to accept the invitation why should we go to Hastinapur and play Dyuth with them." I said, Kakashree nodded
"A Raja can never refuse for war and Dyuth, Arjun." said Jyesht
"A Chkravarti Samrat can always express his helplessness, Karn. Tell them, that you don't have time." said Kakashree
"No, Kakashree. Tatshree is a father figure for us. His invitation is an order for me.
"But, Jyesht, the way to an unknown domain is all the more difficult. When we don't know about the plans of Gandhar Raj how are we going to counter it?" asked Tara, Jyesht smiled
"Plans.? What can be his plan, Taru? His eyes are set on our property. He wants to reign our Rajya. He can take it all if that's what he wants." said Jyesht
"Do we give up on our rights just because someone's plotting against us?! Do we give up on our Rajya which we have built after much hard work?! What kind of justice is this, Jyesht?!" asked Jyesht
"Bheem, no one has actual rights on land and we are no exception. Just the way a fish inhales water and then exhales it. Neither does it accepts water into its system nor does it reject it. In the same way, human beings own a piece of land while alive but eventually, have to leave it behind. We were born in the jungle, Bheem, and are now, ruling this kingdom. Maybe, in future, we go back to the jungle. This kingdom isn't ours for a lifetime but our pride is ours and so is our self-confidence ours. We can't let go of our pride and self-confidence in the track of a battle." said
"But," said Tara we all looked at her
"Duryodhan ne kahatha ki is ghatanakram ka parinam tumhaihi sabse adik bugathna padega." said Tara
"It's not just about the kingdom, Jyesht. I fear that if in this game we play to protect our honour we will lose our Dharm. And if we protect our Dharm we'll lose everything that we have.
"If we protect our Dharm, Taru, we will be able to get back all that we lose. Even if we lose this Rajya we will build a new Rajya somewhere else. But I can't refuse Tatshree's order." Jyesht
"We'll definitely go to Hastinapur. And if Tatshree orders us then will surely-"
"Think of our children, Jyesht." said Tara interrupting we all looked at her
"Is even do win the Dyuth. What will our children think of us? They'll think following someone order is stable even if it is an Adharm?! If Tatshree orders you to give up your life then will you?!" shrieked Tara, we all were shocked
"My decision is final, Tara." said getting angry
"Fine. But you have to promise me nothing, nothing should happen to any of my children." said Tara
"I promise you, Tara. Nothing will happen to any of our children." promised Jyesht
