💜THE BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY💜- A Different Point Of View

💗KARN AND THE ROYALS💜

That day, Karn was with Duryodhan is in the lakeside. Both the friends were discussing something when Karn asked,"So, Why do you hate Pandavas, Suyo??" Duryodhan who was watching the sunset shrugged but said nothing. Karn also didn't pry. He know about his friend's stubbornness and he left to it.

He suddenly exclaimed,"Oh God! How come I forgot that??" Duryodhan confusedly asked,"What? What did you..." But he was caught off guard when Karn threw flour on his face. A sneeze erupted from his nose at the sudden attack.

He looked at Karn with bewildered face and asked,"What was that for??" Karn chuckled saying,"Umm...for being dumb!!" That's it...Duryodhan took a handful of mud and tried to throw on Karn who ducked away. Both the friends began to run around when Karn fell on someone. He hurriedly stood up and saw one soldier standing there. He was about to apologize but was cut if when he heard,"Sutputr! Don't you have eyes?? You touched me!!"

Karn stood there, his head hunging low. His voice buried itself deep inside. He didn't look at the soldier. He didn't want to. He hate the disgusting look on him. He took a deep breath. His whole body was on fire. He want to punch the mouth which insulted him but he maintained his calm and slowly said,"I'm sorry...It'll not happen again!!"
The soldier simply sneered at the 9 year old and moved away.

Duryodhan watched everything from distance. His palm fisted in anger. He also got extremely upset when he saw the sad look on his friend's face. He slowly approached calling,"Mitr! Are you..."

And Karn perfectly masked his hurt into bright smile. He exclaimed, "Oh Suyo! Atlast you fat pig came here too soon. How..." Duryodhan chuckled bitterly saying,"Don't smile fakely, Mitr! It hurts me!!" Karn's smile froze completely and he sat on the floor rubbing his forehead..Duryodhan asked,"Shall I go and punish him?? Shall I tell his behaviour to pitashree and punish him? I'll do anything...tell me!!"

Karn chuckled saying,"Suyo! This is the reality. This is how everyone treat me. There is not much hard feeling now. I'm used to it. And..Just because you don't see my caste doesn't mean that the king will do the same. Just leave it....Leave everything.. don't stress yourself". Duryodhan asked,"How could you.....??" Karn smiled saying,"That's my fate, Suyo! Whatever I am, at the end of the day, I'll be a Sut who none want to touch or talk!!"

Duryodhan hugged his friend tightly. He could imagine the pain that Karn was going through.... He, the Prince couldn't able to digest the fact that everyone loves Pandavas but somehow he got respect from everyone. But his Mitr.... He said,"Don't think anything bad about you, Mitr! You are the most amazing person I've ever seen. You are brave, kind, sweet and wonderful soul. You are very talented too. I...I am not good in words Mitr...but I'll say you changed me...Me who was atfirst hated by everyone was now loved by everyone...and its not the simple thing.. you understand what I'm trying to say right??"

Karn patted his friend softly. But to light up the situation, he said,"You are worse in comforting, Suyo! Please don't try again. I'll laugh...." Duryodhan kicked his friend saying,"Shut up you stupid! I tried my level best right?? You are..... ouch KARN WHERE THE HELL YOU ARE TAKING ALL THOSE FLOUR FROM??"

But Vasusena was already running away after throwing flour on his friend's face. Duryodhan shook his head...He must learn how to be happy with small things from Karn...because he wants himself to be happy and content too...

Days rolled on. Karn was helped by Kaurav Princes to get inside the castle and everyone were happy. Karn was very strict when it comes to studies. He always made all the Kauravas to finish off their day homework and day's activities slowly.

To say Kauravas were fond of Karn will be understatement of the century...All were extremely fond and overprotective of Karn as they were for Duryodhan. That too after Duryodhan narrated the incident of soldier, everyone warned the Soldiers and other maids, servants to give equal respect for their Bhrata Karn...
