The Forgotten Bond

Chapter 4

Shrutkarma along with Pradyumna was preparing for the departure as they need to go early than other family members , when he met Arjuna, he thought today he would give him blessings and wish him a good luck as he always do for Abhimanyu and Draupadi used to feed Dahi-chini but God wrote complete different in his fate as always Arjun misunderstood him When he said he would win at any cost and make him proud and explanation very much simple Arjun only cared about Abhimanyu
Arjuna spoke angrily, what you mean by any cost? You would not even care about your younger brother?
Shrutkarma shuttered, no when I said that? Why will i put him in danger? You .....

Shut up! No more words and moreover , I don't understand why Gurudev is sending you and made you a captain? Are you even capable of it he mocked making him dead inside
Now don't stare at me like that , just go from here with this ugly face pls!

Aah, what happened Arya? Why are you angry, moment ago you were in a good mood, Draupadi said entering the room

Nothing, just this idiot, Arjuna said angrily I don't know why he always ruin my mood he banged the door and left .

Shrutkarma stood numb, what can he say? Afterall it was common for him now!

Why you always ruin his mood?  Panchali shouted angrily

Ma, I did nothing he replied back in a low voice

Oh yes, your father is a big fool who just got angry for nothing, right?
Just go from here and don't dare to give a answer here, useless boy she shouted and left

Tears flowed without any shame, he took his sword and started attacking himself, he covered himself with blood
Blood was flowing like water still he don't care, he was broken once again!

Shrutkarma, my son , what are you doing stop it, see how injured you are! Gurudev said as he hugged him

I don't want to know what happened between you and Arjun and please don't take all blame on you , you are the best you know you are the best kriti, let's go! He dragged him

They reached Swarnaprasth in not more than 2hrs, it was a beautiful city with alot of temples, gardens, rivers and shops. It was infrastructurely well and good

Shrutkarma and others stopped near palace waiting for their team to arrive
When kriti heared a cry, a small girl was crying as her rabbit got stuck in a small hole

Kriti ran towards her and calmed her and he jumped in the hole, the girl stopped crying and stared at him and clapped as he picked the rabbit and came out

She happily hugged him, he smiled at the adorable girl

Thank you so much Rajkumar, a girl said from behind or else my sister must have cried all day long

No worries, Rajkumari may I know your name please?

Ohh yah, yes my name is Aadhya I am elder daughter of King Shaurya she replied
