It was just them, all others and them both standing there silently for several minutes did not matter, he couldnt bare the weight of the pain in letting her go. He fell on his knees, his brothers thought he was going to faint and came to hold him but his eyes that never left hers told them they were wrong. They moved away, looking at her from below her near her feet Dhananjay folded his hands together, Kunti was weeping loudly and Subhadra who was near Krishna held him for support. Panchali also felt pain, tears started forming in her eyes, she closed her eyes but arjun was still just looking at her with some more fresh tears flowing from his eyes. A few moments later, she continued dont feel guilty aarya. We all were just the puppets of the play, but arjun interrupted her please panjali blame me, I deserve it. Aarya I forgave you also when I did for everyone, you forgave everyone for the injustice but I am still guilty for breaking your trust. Aarya it is past and my vow is fulfilled, panchali your vow might be fulfilled but the hurt and pain you felt cannot be erased.
Draupadi saw his eyes the amount of pain in it made her heart ache, but she knew she had to continue . Yes aarya but please let it go I want you to be happy, take care of everyone , tell my wishes for my grandson Parikshit. Tell him I love him, about the valor, bravery of the great warrior his father and my son by everything but blood Abhimanyu. Take care of my sister subadra and have happy life with her.
Karn who was hearing all this was confused where was she going? why is she saying goodbye?. Is she leaving this place and people that she wont be there for the birth of her grandson?. Maybe she is going on vanvas then I will go with her he thought.
Aarya I know you always wanted to know the end of the battle between you and karn. This caught karns attention and pulled him from the endless questions popping in his mind. He wanted to know what panchali thought, he had a hunch of what side she would take as he knew she always stood by right.
Arjun has never felt more guilty in his whole life, he felt so ashamed and for the first time in that evening in his eyes left her. He hung his head down in shame, the last thing he wanted now when letting her go was hearing her blame him for fall of karn and the pain it caused her. Many other people were shocked on why would she even speak about this, that too at this moment.
