A LIFE FULL OF QUESTIONS.

Abhimanyu

"My first question is that, what are your thoughts about the killing of Abhimanyu and I allowing it to happen?"

Krishna question made the whole hall silent for a while as Draupadi looked at Arjuna with tears in her eyes and Arjun found his peace looking at Krishna.

"It was a war. A game whose strings are held by the gods themselves. Who are we to question."

Arjun's answer was small yet held importance.

"But I still want to know, what did we do to lose our son when he was just sixteen years old and newly married."

Krishna smiled at Draupadi as her words came as a whisper which only was heard by Him and Yudhishthir only.

"Abhimanyu was the son of Chandra, the moon-god, who had been allowed by his father to stay on the earth for sixteen years. It was Chandra's wish to be a part of this family and war. So, he sent his son, the mighty Varchas on one condition that he will return after sixteen years are over." 

Yuyudhana or Satyaki as people called him was silent till now. But once silent fell in the hall he slowly and cautiously said, "But it was we who got attached to the mortal world so much that we wanted death to change its path. Death is certain no matter what a mortal's age is or on what point his life is. And if death comes in the battlefield, it makes a warrior's life complete and successful."

Many agreed to what Satyaki said but still there were some who protested. Because not everyone was a warrior in that battle of the royals. And not everyone was Krishna who never got too attached to anything.

"Why was destiny cruel with us? We were no warrior's nor we were part of their fight? We were no God nor we were Satyaki in this fight?"

Many people's shout broke the silence that fell on the hall a few moments ago. Everyone looked at each other, whispering, while thinking of an answer.
