The Prince's Unexplored Agony ✓✓

Penned Emotions...

The winds were roaring and the nature was changing it's coarse... The palace was going up and down with continuous screams! All the faces present over the hall had the sign of complete tension. What's going to happen? Why nature is changing it's coarse? Will she survive?
  Suddenly the clouds started roaring. Trees start howling. The loud screams were enough to give goosebumps. After 4 prahars, the pain was vanished way. Someone took birth! Someone great... Really great... The one who had a great contribution in the Kurukshetra war...

Abhimanyu's P.O.V:

I took birth after lots of difficulties. My mother faced so many harsh consequences while giving birth to me. I grew up by getting everyone's love. My Panchali Maa treated me like her own son and never let me feel like I'm not her mass of flesh and blood. My great Pitashree GandivaDhari Arjun showered all his love and blessings over me. My Mata Subhadra... I have no words to describe her! I really feel proud to say that I'm Saubhadreya! Really, it's a proud thing, isn't it?

   My life continued to be well and fine  and there was no obstruction in my path as if it was filled with flowers. My parents, brothers, sisters.. and everything! I got everyone's love and support!

The worst thing that could happen to me was when everything started to change. Fate stated to show it's colour. It was like the earth was turned upside down within a second.

  Soon Jyesth Matashree , Pitashree and my uncles got insulted in the Dyuth Sabha. It was the worst thing that could happen. Mata Draupadi got strong on her oath to untie her hair and never tie them unless she gets to take bath from Dushashana Chacha's blopd, and my fathers took the oath to destroy the Kauravas. Soon, they were sent to 12 years exile and 1 more year they have to spend in the form of incognito.

I was a little baby of three years, when this incident took place. I asked  Matashree to explain me the incident. No sooner did I learn about the misbehavior of the Kauravas, than my blood started boiling with anger. I took oath in my mind to destroy the Kauravas who snatched away my family from me at such a young age.

  My days were passing by happily with my mother and brothers. Sometimes, I could see my mother weeping silently, which made me feel like a thousand arrows have been struck into my heart. I felt like my whole body was getting shattered. I can never see my mother like this. Sometimes I consoled her.
 I felt very lonely as well. Whenever I felt lonely I think of my Matashree, and surprisingly she comes appears infront of me. I can't understand how? Of course, a mother can hear her child's call.
  Matashree would teach me and my brothers war tactics.  She was so much skilled in war tactics. I gained so many knowledge from her. Mamashree Krishna also taught me about war. He was an excellent... No no, more than an  excellent warrior.

  I would always ask Mamashree to teach me Chakravyuh, but he would always tell me to gain its knowledge from Pitashree. I couldn't understand why he asked me to gain it from Pitashree only? Maybe there would be some reason for it...
  Days passed by and soon the exile of my five fathers and Jyesth Matashree came to an end. Jyesth Pitashree called us to Matsya Kingdom where, they were living those days. We all got excited especially Matashree. We all got ready and left for Matsya Kingdom.
   After few hours we reached there. I saw Pitashrees and Jyesth Matashree standing near the gate and waiting for us. We (children) ran to hug them all.
Jyesth Matashree became emotional after seeing us. She hugged all of us tightly and let all her teats flow down. After a long time we broke the hug. Mamashree came forward and greeted everyone. He hugged Pitashrees and blessed Jyesth Matashree.

Suddenly I saw Matashree standing near a corner and watching us quietly. I knew that she had lots of emotions inside her which she had held aback. I ran to Pitashree and tugged him who was busy in talking with Mamashree. He looked at me with a smile. I pointed him towards Matashree. He looked at Mata and tears started flowing from both of their eyes. Pitashree ran to her and hugged her tightly. They let their tears flow which they had held aback from 13 years. Everyone, including me had tests in their eyes seeing the bond of my mother and father. I felt proud to be Saubhadreya and Arjuni.
  After a long time they broke the hug and wiped each other's tears. After some chitchat we went inside the palace.
  The palace was beautifully decorated with diyas and candles. Maids were throwing flowers over us.
  Suddenly we came to a halt when we saw King Virat and Queen Sudeshna. We all greeted them.
  Suddenly my eyes fell over a beautiful girl standing near Prince Uttara, the son of King Virat. I felt an unknown connection with her. She was really pretty and cute.
  Suddenly I won a tug from Pitashree and Matashree. I came out of my world and blushed . Everyone gave me mischievous smiles.
  We were warmly greeted by King Virat. After some chitchat we all went to our respective rooms. But I was feeling restless so I decided to go to Matashree and Pitashree.
  I reached there and saw them having a playful talk. I ran to them and hugged both of them. Matashree made me sit on his lap and asked me the reason of my restlessness. I just shooked my head in a no.
  Matashree understood my feelings and smiled mischievously at me , making me blush. Pitashree said that he had fixed my marriage with Rajkumari Uttara. I stood up from mata's lap and jumped with joy.
  Matashree and Pitashree smiled mischievously at me and I ran away from there .

  I was excited and nervous at the same time. Marriage? It's not known by me .... But I controlled myself and slept peacefully.
   Next morning I woke up, had bath and got ready . I went to Matashree and Pitashree and saw them choosing jeweleries for Me and Uttara. I went near them and took their blessings. I sat near them and saw their choices. They were amazingly outstanding. I hugged both of them and they smiled at me.
  Soon the marriage took place. I applied Vermillion in Uttara's forehead and made her mine forever.
That night I cane inside my chamber and saw Uttara sitting on the bed. As soon as she saw me, she turned away her face to hide her blush. I smiled and went near her and sat beside her. I placed my had on her shoulder and gave her a relaxing smile. She smiled back and both of us had relaxing talk. After sometime we cuddled each other and slept peacefully.
Our days were passing by Happily. It had been 3 months since we had been married , when Uttara carried another life In her. All became overjoyed, especially me as I was going to be father.
  But within 2 months the war took place. I was sad that I can't take care of Uttara, but I had to fight to fulfil my Dharma. We got ready for the war.
  Soon the war took place. It was really violent . All the Kauravas and Pandavas were fighting violently. The Kaurava head AcharyaDrona was trying to make Pitashree go another side of the battle inorder to captured Jyesth Pitashree. But fortunately, I came in front of him and saved Jyesth Pitashree from Dronacharya.
  Day by day was passing by and the war was becoming worse. It was the 14th day of the war. I didn't know that why I was feeling unsafe. I felt like something worse is going to happen. Suddenly a secret keeper came and informed us that Dronacharya is going to create Chakravyuh!!!!! Everyone got tensed. Today Pitashree was also not there as Trigartha King took him to the another side of the battle. But I made them relieved by saying that I know how to enter Chakravyuh, but don't know how to come back. First they were refusing to send me, but after realising that there was no way left, they let me go in. Everyone smiled proudly at me.

  I entered fiercely inside the vyuh. I killed all the soldiers and the 8 Maharathis in the center of  vyuh got tensed. They came ahead to fight with me. The 8 Maharathis surrounded me. I was shocked to see 8 Maharathis gathering me at a time. But I gathered up all my courage and fought fiercely with them...

It was becoming difficult for them to defeat me. But all of sudden Dronacharya cut my bow. Angaraj Karna destroyed the wheel of my chariot. Mamashree  Shakuni killed my charioteer. Yet I gathered my courage and fought with them. I picked up the wheel of my chariot and fought with them. They found it difficult to destroy me. Duryodhan ordered all of them to attack on me at a time. They all attacked at Mr and I saved myself with the help of the wheel. But Duryodhan destroyed the wheel with his mace. I saw Angaraj coming towards me with his sword but his eyes had tears. He closed his eyes to stop his tears, and pushed the sword inside me. Blood cane our from my mouth but I didn't die. He was shocked to core . He again closed his eyes and this time he pushed the sword in my body fully piercing my stomach. I remembered my family for the last time and drifted into such a sleep that I could never wake up... I loved my life , filled with little happiness and little sorrow, little light and little darkness .

“ Life combined with mixed emotions, like little happiness and little pain, is the best combined life anyone ever got. And I'm thankful to God for giving me such a beautiful life!”
