TRIGUN

COURT

It's evening time and Dhritrashtra has called everyone in the royal court of Hastinapur because of what happened today in the morning.

The Pandavas were standing on one side, the Kauravas were standing on the other. The Trigun sisters and Hidimba stood above in the gallery, with Kunti and Gandhari.

"Putri Tamasvini, please forgive Dushashan for his mistake." Gandhari said.

"What your son has done today Maharani is great crime, not a mistake that can be forgiven." Tamasvini said, anger evident in her voice.

"Arjun ! You have committed a crime by beating Dushashan today !" Dhritrashtra said.

"Arjun has committed no crime Maharaj. Dushashan had thrown Turmeric on Rajkumari Tamasvini with the intention of hurting her. I had seen the bruises on her skin with my own eyes." Vidur said.

"Mahamantri, I can see that Rajkumari Tamasvini is well, there is not a single scratch on her body. But my poor nephew Dushashan over here is covered in bruises." Shakuni said.

"That's because Yuvrani Satyamurti healed her wounds. But that doesn't excuse Dushashan for inflicting them on Rajkumari Tamasvini in the first place." Yudhishthir said.

"Whatever Dushashan did, it doesn't give Arjun a right to even lay a hand on him. Did Arjun not trust you for justice ? This is your insult Pitashree." Duryodhan said.

"Arjun, Duryodhan is right. You should have approached me." Dhritrashtra said.

"Dhritarashtra, why are you ignoring what Dushashan did and blaming Arjun ?" Bhism said.

"Arjun has disrespected Maharaj." Duryodhan said.

"And you all have disrespected Kulvadhu purposefully." Ashwathama said. All eyes turned on him.

"What do you mean 'purposefully' putra ?" Dronacharya asked.

"Pitashree, I have heard with my own ears when Duryodhan, Dushashan and Gandhar-raj were conspiring to throw Turmeric at Bhabhi Tamasvini so it burns her skin." Ashwathama said.

"So all three of you were involved in this conspiracy against my wife !? Now all of you shall face my wrath !" Arjun roared picking up his bow.

Tamasvini looked at him with awe while everyone gasped and the Kauravas looked at Arjun with wide eyes as he summoned an arrow, aiming it at them.

Although his anger was justified, Arjun had made his move at the wrong time as it gave Shakuni an opportunity to again turn the tables.

"Maharaj Dhritrashtra ! This prince has raised weapons in your court !" Shakuni said.

"ARJUN ! FOR RAISING WEAPONS IN COURT I SENTENCE YOU TO DEATH !" Dhritrashtra said.

The ladies above gasped and the elders looked at Dhritrashtra with disbelief while the Kauravas smirked. But Yudhishthir was about to have none of it.

"You cannot do that Maharaj." Yudhishthir said coming forward.

All the gaze turned into him, Shakuni gritted his teeth for he knew Yudhishthir will never let anything happen to Arjun.

"Maharaj, our putra-vadhu, our Kulvadhu, the honour of our Kuruvansh was disrespected by your son Dushashan ! And if you cannot give him death sentence then you cannot order Arjun's death warrant either." Yudhishthir said.

Dhritrashtra frowned and fell into dilemma, he was not courageous enough to punish Dushashan let alone issue his death warrant.

"Maharaj Dhritrashtra, since the day we came here after marriage your sons have been disrespecting our wives ! They are disrespecting their own Bhabhishree !" Yudhishthir said.

"Dhritrashtra, what has happened today is a grave crime. And for that Dushashan and Duryodhan deserve harsh punishments if not death penalty." Bhism said.

"Tatshree...how can I order death penalty of my own sons ? How can I give them harsh punishments ?" Dhritrashtra asked.

"If you will not do that Maharaj then this will only lead them to commit further crimes in the future." Yudhishthir said.

"You will decide our punishment !?" Duryodhan stomped towards Yudhishthir.

The Pandavas also came to Yudhishthir's aid while the Kauravas came and stood behind Duryodhan.

"ENOUGH !" Vidur yelled.

All eyes turned on him, as he looked at the Kauravas with disappointment. He was afraid that there might be war between the brother now.

"Maharaj Dhritrashtra, your sons have ruined the sanctity of Kuruvansh with their conspiracies. And today it has reached its peak. If we want peace then the Pandavas and Kauravas must be separated. It's time for the division of Kuru-rashtra." Vidur said.
