Pandavas and Subhadra were shocked seeing Kunti. Kunti was still crying hugging Karn's corpse. Different kinds of thoughts were coming in their minds but they declined thinking that Kunti's heart is full of motherly affection and she is like this only.
Arjun: Mata! Tell me what I am thinking that is wrong.
Kunti: Putra! Leave me alone. I want to pass some time with my first born.
This time, pandavas and Subhadra were more shocked. At that time, Draupadi came there and she was also confused.
Subhadra: Mata! We know you love kauravas and angraj like your own sons and maybe that's why you are saying this, Right?
Kunti: No putri! He emerged from my womb only. I was just a little girl that time. I served maharishi durvasa with full of devotion and he was contended and blessed me with a boon.*sobs*
Kunti stopped a little and pandavas and draupadi could guess what happened.
Subhadra: And that boon was you can call any gods and attain a son from that?
Kunti: Yes putri! I couldn't resist my curiosity and called suryadev. Later, I asked forgiveness but if he would go without giving me any son it would be insult of Maharishi's blessings and when he disappeared, a part of him was growing inside me. I couldn't understand that his boon will change into a curse because of my one mistake.
Yudhistir: After that what happened mata?
Bheem: What you did?
Arjun: That part of suryadev is maharathi Karn?
Kunti nodded. Pandavas were feeling guilt and tears were falling from their eyes. Draupadi was thinking that it's all are her fault.
Yudhistir: Mata! Why did you hide this truth?
Kunti: What I would do, my son? In our society, if a girl becomes mother before marriage the society taints her and her family. I was a teenage girl that time and I didn't find any way without leaving my son. I know it was a huge mistake but if possible then forgive me.
Arjun: Mata! Do you what you did? For you one mistake, I killed my own elder brother instead of touching his feet. You shouldn't hide this.
Kunti: At that time, I had no way left. If I would accept Karn after his birth, maybe this society would despise me and I didn't care for that but how can I forget I was a daughter and princess too! My heart wanted to accept my son forgetting everything bounds but couldn't because if I would do it, the society wouldn't despise me only but our kingdom kuntibhoj too. I never wanted to be a shame for my father and the reason of sufferings for the subjects. If then also forgetting everything I would accept Karn, I don't think this society would let him live peacefully. At last, I decided to sacrifice my motherhood.
Kunti started sobbing and blaming herself. Arjun and other pandavas were also feeling broken. Subhadra walked towards Kunti.
Subhadra: Mata! It was not your fault, not at all! It was the bitter rules of our society which made you to do this. Maybe this world will think u cruel but they are fool. They can't understand how much you sacrificed! Arya; you also shouldn't be so sad otherwise juesth Karn's soul will be also sad. Now he is free from the burden and you released his soul from all sins.
Arjun: Bhadrey, how will I forgive myself! I murdered my own elder brother! This hands of mine are washed with my own brother's blood today. *sobs*
Subhadra: Arya! Please calm down. It had to happen and maybe if you wouldn't do it, any other would do. You free him from the loads of his sins. He was burdened by so many sins and maybe he was yearning to get freedom but now he is free from all sins and curses. He went to heaven now and as he died in the battlefield, his all sins are forgiven.
Krishna: Bhadrey is right, Parth. You shouldn't be grief stricken like this.
Arjun was still sad but Subhadra's words soothed him a little. All pandavas touched Karn's feet and they were feeling guilt and took his body to do his last rites. Duryodhan was also sad losing his best friend or his biggest weapon.
Subhadra looked at Krishna who was looking at the distant with a serene smile.
Subhadra: How many more deaths bhrata? How many more mothers will lose her sons? How many more wives will lost their husbands? How many more children will lose their fathers? *looks at Krishna and sobs*
