Panjali was stunned she could not believe the effect he had on her, what was it that always pulled her to him a magnet. After all that happened, it was always him why??? . Her inner voice was screaming but she knew these were one of the few questions that never had an answer. The people with whom she spent most of her life standing right there and telling good bye to them was hard but not this hard, this man here made it impossible for her to go. Looking at him, his eyes, having his sole attention without any fear was like her wildest dream coming true and now asking her leave all these and move seemed cruel. It is like giving eye sight only for a day to person who was blind all their life.
Why is her life this way when Govind said nothing that she is facing now was because of her past deeds? , Was being born to a king who only wanted a son her mistake?
Now looking in his eyes that held the forbidden fruit that she so badly wanted to taste, all that she wanted to do was just grab it after all the world always called her names, why not just live up to one of those at least once. These thought actually surprised her as she thought all the things he does to her even with a cruel screen between them.
Panjali felt her heart was free, it felt so good to just let it out and most importantly to the right person. With a heartly smile flowering in her face she focused on the man before her, who is ruling every cell of her body. She could see that karn has sensed something was wrong, his eyes said that. She just smiled once more preparing herself for the last part which was the most hardest yet easiest at the same time.
She started karn I dont know what it is but it always seems to be this way and I know you might not like it but I know its the best. After a pause she continued oh my radheyee your anger, I know it fully very well but dont worry I dont think you have enough fire to compete with this fire. But you are the water which this fire is going stand guarding, admiring and both will never be depleted or diminish.
Panjali stood after taking in karn appearance fully as if she was trying to store him as her last memory even when he was all that was embedded in her heart. Closing her eyes greeted Vasudev bowing with one word sakha and that was enough for him to understand his Sakhi. Now she stood erect looking at karn, his eyes with a beautiful and content smile.
The next second she engulfed by fire, no one could comprehend what was happening. Arjun had no idea what to do , he could not accept this a failure again. He could never give her happiness and what kind of a curse was this?. He screamed in frustration and a pain that was unbearable but was not killing him, he just wished it would be great if it killed him. What was this he was dying yet not dying, he could not breathe. He did not know what to do but he to stop it for his panjali, her happiness so started running towards her. The others present there were also feeling sad as they could do nothing to stop another one injustice done to this beautiful soul. The other four pandav brothers were also in no better state, they were also broken who wouldnt when they to see their loved one die in front of their eyes. They went on alert mode when arjun started running and they went to hold him.
On the other side karn felt as if nothing more was left in him, even when he died he was content but now there was just emptiness only one could fill. But she cannot, not when she was burning right in front of his eyes. His eyes which was a pouring rainfall all this while was now dry, not a single drop fell from it. Was he breathing? Was his heart beating? He didnt know. He knew one thing, he never backed away from a decision he had earlier planned to accompany her wherever she went. If this is where she wanted to go then he was completely fine, hell or heaven with her would just taste the same. He knew she did this for him but that stubborn women decided for him, after understanding him very well from the start he could not believe she failed now. No problem if she was stubborn then so was he after all they both were fire arent they
?. With these thoughts karn started running towards her but he had a very clear face. His mind had already guessed this, he was just so immersed in her that he had let it slip.
The other 4 sons of kunti were frightened as two of their brothers were running towards a pure, thick, heavily burning fire. So cleverly bheem caught karn while the other three caught arjun. Both of them were struggling to break free and were fighting hard and the first to win was
Arjun
As he ran towards her and let his hand into the fire it was so hot and he couldnt handle it, he took his hand away screaming and was shaking his hand to relieve the pain but after a second he stopped as he saw karn struggling against bheem and he felt glad that the had the burning pain in his hand which distracted him a little from his tearing heart unlike karn.
At that exact moment karn broke free and in a lightening speed he ran into the fire, every one around were screaming kunti, and vrushali tried running towards him but people held them.
But Everyone froze for the nth time that day as they witnessed an unbelievable magic
