One month had passed since the enchanting union of Ashwathama and Meenakshi. The atmosphere was filled with sheer bliss, and the musketeers had settled into a harmonious life with their beloved wives.
Karna, having been away from Anga Rajya for the past year, expressed his intention to leave for his homeland to the court of Hastinapur. Bhishma, understanding the reasons behind Karna's decision, responded, "Alright, my son. We comprehend your situation, and I have a suggestion. You should accompany your friends - the Pandavas, Gandhari, Dushala, Kunti, Bhanumati, Amrita, Meenakshi, and Devika. It will provide them with a refreshing change of environment. Putri Kunti and Putri Gandhari can visit the grand temple of Lord Shiva in Anga, while the Pandavas can explore the educational city of Aryavrat, Nalanda. Bhima can relish the delectable cuisine of Champaran, and Devika, Bhanumati, Amrita, and Meenakshi can experience the vibrant market of Champaran. I am aware that all you ladies are weary of the palace, so I have granted you a full month's holiday. Dhritarashtra, Vidur, Raj Guru Drona, and Kul Guru Kripacharya will remain here as we discuss an important matter."
The grandchildren eagerly nodded in agreement, while their wives respectfully responded, "Ok Pitamaha." Excitement filled the air as everyone anticipated the upcoming journey.
"Father! Mother! Where are we going?" the four children asked in unison.
"We are all going to Anga for a delightful picnic!" Karna announced.
"Picnic? Yay! Yay! Picnic!" The children chanted joyfully, running out of the Rajya Sabha.
"We should prepare ourselves. We depart for Anga tomorrow," Gandhari suggested, and everyone nodded, making their way to their respective rooms.
Karna, Madirakshi, and the children returned to their home to assist their parents with the packing. While helping, Madirakshi noticed Karna gazing at the sunset and inquired, "What thoughts occupy your mind, Suryanandan?"
"I am contemplating my birth mother who abandoned me in the river Ganga and never cared for me," Karna revealed, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Suryanandan, you know the reasons behind her actions. Perhaps, there is a void in her heart that she cannot express for you," Madirakshi consoled him.
"You always bring tranquility to my mind, Priya," Karna expressed with gratitude.
"It is my duty to bring you solace," Madirakshi replied warmly.
"We need to tell the children about me," Karna proposed.
"Now is not the ideal time or place," Madirakshi advised.
