'Holy sh*t'

Feeling de ja vu.

You're not the only one, don't worry.

What happened for me to curse yet again? Well look around you.

[3rd person pov]

A six years old child was standing imposingly with a bow in his hands while protecting an old couple with a 5 year old child wrapped in their arms.

In front of him an old man with a long white beard was kneeling with his crown fallen near the six years feet.

Two men ,one bulky looking and one slim looking were in front of four other women. One woman who was wearing royal clothes and had closed her eyes with a cloth had a look of tension and fear on her face. Three other women were looking at me with an aghast expression,one being older than the other two and all three were in ancient widow clothes. While a divine looking women who was standing perpendicularly behind the child and was looking at the old man with white beard worriedly.

Some citizens, soldiers and ministers were cowering in the corner.

[Karn's pov]

Which character am I in this weird scenario, you ask?

Well , let's go back in time again to know.

[Flashback ( after I was picked by adhirath)]

After adhirath , picked me , he took me to his wife. Who asked the million dollar question.

" Arya, who is this child you have brought back from your suryapooja?"

Adhirath answered.

"priye, I found him in the ganga river flowing in a basket full of lotuses."

Radha was shocked. She then asked the obvious question.

" why was he flowing in the ganga river in a basket? Did someone lost their child?"

" I don't think so as there was a letter in the basket along with the child. See."

'please keep my child safe,as I am unable to do so. An unfortunate mother.'

Reading the letter,both of them wondered what kind of circumstances can force a women to abandon their child.

I was hungry. But I was keeping patience for them to finish their talk but my stomach wasn't planning on being patient.

*Growl*

...Damn it! It's embarassing!

Radha hurriedly took me in her embrace and fed me milk.

...Despite being embarassed at my current source of food, I chose to be silent and accept what's given.

...haaa . The start of my life is like this. It's a wonder what it would be like in the future.

After having my fill, sleep took over me.

Tomorrow morning.

Radha ma started to care of me. Yes, I call her Radha ma as she's my mother now. I can't speak because of my age so I call them Radha ma and adhirath baba in my mind but I'll address them as such when I am able to. Anyway,while adhirath baba goes out to work, Radha ma works at home. Just like typical housewives in ancient times.

I've been thinking what this situation is anyway. I've reincarnated, that I know. The question is why and by who. The answer to who is both easy and hard at the same time.

The one responsible for my reincarnation is obviously gods.

Hmm. You ask why didn't I think of the possibility that I came here by accident or through the power of science.
