path we choose

chapter 9

Arjun's  pov

We heard about jyeshta's gurukul days and how he got his Vijaya bow even though it is the first time we met he feels so close to us we continued our chit chat and didn't notice when we reached the Nagara dwar we all are really happy to meet our family and even more happy that now mata and jyeshta will meet

We started moving forward and saw the mass of people who stood along the way they were cheering our names some whispers started forming as they looked at jyeshta bhratha karn maybe they are wondering who he is

The palace view came nearer and I saw everyone standing there to welcome us

Kunti's  pov

I finished my morning puja and as I was heading to my chamber a dasi appeared and told me the news of my sons arival
I quickly went to the bhavan dwar the masses gathered around to see the arrival of their princes tears formed in my eyes as they searched to see them after so many years

The air around us became warmer and sun rays brighter as I saw my sons approaching first I see yudhishtira just like I remember him a calm face with a smile adoring his lips

bheem on his right side bheem still has those adorable chubby cheeks my dear vrikodar behind him are my two little twins nakula my dear prankster has grown up to be such a handsome man and sahadev my calm and shy baby he is grown up so much too

And then my eyes fell on my phalguna
he really looks like he came from devlok he grown up so handsome

I spotted another young man besides my arjuna he is tall fair and  his face has devine glow I froze in my spot my heart started racing and sweat formed on my forehead a question rised inside me 'is he ..my karna?'

They mounted off thier horses and started approaching me the young man stood before his eyes held tears and he called me "mata.."

Time seemed to have stopped as memories of my past came before my eyes I reached out my hands and hugged him "putra .. is it really you?" My voice came out like a whisper "yes mata "
"Forgive me son please forgive me I said crying " don't say that mata I am not angry at you " he said tears escaping his eyes he looked back at his brothers and singled them to come they came and we shared a big hug

The hug broke when we heard gandhari jiji say "putro did you not miss your jyeshta mata and putra arjun did you forget me?" She said with a mischievous smile arjuna smiled back " how can I forget you jyeshta maata you are also my mother " and they both hugged

"Look jyeshta mata now you are forgetting me" nakula said with a fake hurt look everyone giggled  the jiji came forward to karn " putra I am your jyeshta mata but I can feel your radiance"  and she hugged him too

Arjun's pov

after taking everyone's blessings pitamaha accounced that he is late Maharaj pandu and maharani kunti's eldest son

First everyone shocked but after sometime their face turn into a brightest smile

Jyeshta bhratha karn went to kauravas but they just ignored as and went inside we didn't for the must because after such a long time we meet everyone we have lot of talks with Mata then we entered rajmahal we meet everyone after sometime bhratha Karna went to meet Radha ma and came back at the evening
