💜THE BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY💜- A Different Point Of View

💜WHEN THIRD ONE BECOMES A BRAT TOO💜

Karn and others moved inside the forest in a very fast pace searching for Ashwathama. Duryodhan soon joined and all were busy in searching for the boy. For Kauravas, Ashwathama is the best friend they could ever get.

They love Vasusen no doubt in that. But their love for Karn is like Elder brother while Ashwatthama is always their best friend who is quite calm and composed unlike both their elder brothers who always used to create ruckus with each other.

Ashwathama on the other hand sat by the lake seeing his reflection with faraway expression. He was so sad that he could see the sea of emotions swirling in his eyes by seeing his reflection. For the first time in all these years, he felt alone. He wants to be with Duryodhan, Vasusen and other Kauravas. But he know his limits and he do not intend to cross those limits.

His thought process stop when he felt someone sitting beside him. He turned to look only to be shocked to the core. His lips automatically uttered a shock word,"VASUSEN??"

And let's now see how Vasusen reached the place where Ashwathama was sitting without Kauravas!!

The Kauravas were so tired that they stopped their Bhrata Karn from moving forward saying that they will die if they move ahead. Though he stopped his horse for them he doesn't like to sit idly in the the forest as his body is not at all tired. When each and everyone rested for a while like afternoon nap, he mounted on his Vayujit again moving deep inside the forest in search of Duryodhan's best friend.

He almost lost all his hope but suddenly he felt human smell nearby. Don't ask him how he did that. Mata Dharani always distinguished the way human smell admist the lush forests and wild inhabitants. And he being spent his whole teen years and childhood in forest, so he recognised this immediately. His heart gave one great leap and he moved towards the direction only to find a small lake. Hmm...A very beautiful lake indeed. But what caught his attention is Ashwathama sitting there with the faraway expression looking at his own image on water reflection sadly.

Karn sat beside him flipped his hair from his forehead splashing water over his sweaty face not minding Ashwatthama's shocked and frozen reaction. The water dripped from his hair and face when Vasusen asked,"Done brooding, Ashwatthama??" Ashwathama looked at him asking,"W-What? What are you talking about??"

Karn gave one amusing look to Ashwatthama saying,"You know exactly what I'm talking about!!" Ashwathama looked around asking,"Why are you here, alone?? Like seriously... Duryodhan missed you a lot. He ..." His words were interrupted when he heard,"He is missing you a lot too!!" Ashwathama shook his head denying the fact completely. No no he's not going to believe Vasusen..this must be some cruel joke!!

Karn sighed. He slowly said,"I know you're not eager to see me with Duryodhan or you're angry that Duryodhan spend more time with me, but it's because we saw each other after 10 years ..10 whole years. We missed each other. He never intent to ignore you. Infact, he was so angry on his brothers and himself that they ignored or hurt you by any means. He was searching for you. Infact all the Kauravas were. Just believe me... They may be strong and arrogant but in reality they are all very softest creatures. Each and every Kauravas were blaming themselves for your disappearance.... You.." Ashwatthama looked at Vasusen with wide eyes saying,"Why are they ..."

Karn threw his arms over his shoulders saying,"Let me say something about Kauravas, okay?? They don't know politeness. They don't behave well-mannered. They don't like to talk softly even if they want to they won't talk. They won't behave too much friendly but inside they'll die for their friendship. If you want to be their friend, be confident. Make them open up to you. Be mannerless...no one will ask you to behave like a very sophisticated person... Okay? It's difficult to be friends with them but on the other hand, their friendship is not just the simple thing that everyone get. Pure and strong friendship from them can make you feel lively"
