After gathering all the members of Kuru, everyone retired to their respective rooms to seek some rest.
In Yudhishthira's Chambers, Devika was filled with deep worry.
"Nath, have you noticed the anxiety etched on Angaraj's face? Ever since Maharishi Ved Vyas departed, he has been carrying a heavy burden, a burden that weighs him down," she spoke in a tone of genuine concern.
"That is precisely what troubles me, Priya. I have never witnessed Angaraj Karna in such a state. I have also come to learn that after his meeting with Keshav, he has been enveloped in a constant state of sadness and melancholy. He hardly speaks to anyone, or if he does, it is with great reservation," Yudhishthira responded.
"You know, nath, I have observed the love and care he harbors for the Pandavas in his eyes," Devika shared her keen observation.
"I, too, have noticed it. priya, Angaraj has always been our pillar of strength in times of adversity. He saved us from the treachery of Mamashree Shakuni. He single-handedly prevented Hastinapur from plunging into a devastating civil war. And he provided me with valuable counsel on the art of dice game by recounting the tale of Nala and Damayanti," Yudhishthira divulged.
"The art of dice game? Devika questioned.
"Yes, Priya. Remember that day in Hastinapur when he was passionately reading a book aloud, and many mistook him for being mad," Yudhishthira recollected, drawing closer to his wife.
"Yes, yes, nath, I remember. But he despises the game of dice," Devika interjected.
"Indeed, he harbors a disdain for dice game, but I, on the contrary, find solace in it. A Kshatriya can never refuse an invitation to a game of dice or a battle," Yudhishthira explained.
"Alright, let us hope for the best. Now, we must proceed to dinner, as our entire family awaits us," Devika suggested.
"Yes, Priya," Yudhishthira agreed, and together they made their way to the dining area for a family dinner.
In Sahadeva's Chamber, where he resided with his wife Vijiya, tension hung heavy in the air.
"Nath, why do I sense that this silence is merely the calm before the storm?" she anxiously voiced her concerns to her husband.
"Yes, I, too, feel the same. Did you notice the expression on Angaraj Karna's face when Maharishi Ved Vyas spoke those cryptic words?" Sahadeva asked, his gaze fixed upon the night sky.
"Yes, nath, the furrowed lines on his forehead were a clear indication that he comprehends the perils that await us in the future," Vijiya replied.
