Karna : healing the wounds

Acceptance

Next morning
Karna woke up early in the morning and did his usual routine of suryapooja. After that he cleaned the whole ashram. till the time he had done with the cleaning everyone had woken up. bhagwan parshuram saw him doing all the work but kept quiet and after a while went for the meditation. Karna seeing his gurudev meditating went to mata dharini. She was carrying two pots and comming out from the hut.

K: Mata where are you going?
D: I'm going to the well to bring water putra.
K: mata why are you doing all this when you have your son here. give me the pots I will bring you the water.
D: you have already done a lot of work putra. Let me do some too.
K: (take the pots) I don't want your pretty hands to bear such weight. Your smooth hands should only be used to bless me. Now let me go mata you are making me late (pouting)
D: (chuckling) Fine my stubborn child. But do you know the way to well
K: I know saw it while coming to Mahendragiri.
(Saying that karna left)
D: I wish you achieve what you want putra. You are indeed a pure soul . I will always treat you like my own son. You have given me the happiness of being mother for which I was craving for.

Time skip
At Training ground
Karna was watching his gurudev teaching other students and listening very carefully , he doesn't wanted to miss any word left from his gurudev's mouth.
Bhagwan parshuram was teaching his students to aim at moving target karna watched and listened carefully to his gurudev. After teaching how to aim bhagwan parshuram told his students to try it. Everyone started btying toh hit their own target. Karna too went and make a wooden target and tied it with the rope🪢after hanging it he too started trying to hit 🎯 the aim perfectly. Bhagwan parshuram saw this(in mind: hm he has the will to learn) .

After some time
P:I have some work to do today. You all keep practicing till I come.
(Saying this bhagwan parshuram left from there, while the others kept practicing. Hours passed and now the time for practiced got over and everyone stopped practicing and kept their bows at their places while karna continued to practice the archery.)

At night
Bhagwan parshuram returned to the hut after completing his work.
D: Arya you came on the right time dinner is ready. Come and sit.
P: ok.
(Mata dharini was looking at the gate. Bhagwan parshuram noticed it and asked )
P: are you expecting someone priye?
D: where is karna Arya . He didn't came till now. He went to training ground to see you teaching the students and to learn while watching you but he didn't returned yet. All your students has already came to the ashram.
P: he didn't returned yet. This kid is really troublesome I will go and watch what he is doing.

At training ground
Karna was still training there and aiming the moving target 🎯 while changing his position time to time. Just then he heard the voice of his gurudev.
P: everyone has returned to the ashram why are you still practicing, don't you know practice time has already been over.
K: gurudev but you only told to practice till I returned.
P: so if now also I would not have returned were you planning to practice it whole night.
K:(just simply nodded)
P: you should not blindly follow the orders. Everyone can make mistake I'm also a human I didn't knew my work will take so much time, but it doesn't mean you will keep practicing like an idiot who don't use his own brain.
K: but gurudev after my radha ma and pitashree I have found solace only because of you and mata dharini , then how can I even think of disobeying you.
P: you are a fool because of you instead of eating the dinner peacefully I had to come here.
K:(he felt guilty for disturbing his gurudev's dinner) I am sorry gurudev I don't deserve to be your disciple, I will not disturb you from now I will go from here tomorrow.(saying this he turn to left)
P: when I told you to left you wanted a chance and now when I'm impressed from you and wanted to take you as my disciple you want to left like this.
K:(realising what his gurudev's said) really gurudev you accepted me as your disciple.(excited)
P: yes I said that only don't you get things in one time.
Karna was so excited that he just immediately hugged his gurudev , bhagwan parshuram just smiled seeing his excitement but made poker face when he broke the hug.
K: your hug is really soothing gurudev I will hug you daily before going to sleep.(saying this karna ran from there to tell his mata dharini about his gurudev's decision.)
P: this boy is really something. Others don't even dare to look directly into my eyes and he just went hugging me.(bhagwan parshuram was happy seeing this behaviour of karna who don't even fear about him being angry but can give away anything dear to him for his gurudev's peace.)

At ashram
D: putra you came. Why are you this late?
K: mata I'm very happy, gurudev accepted me as his disciple.
D: I'm proud of you putra pleasing Arya is really difficult, now come see you have even hurt your hands , come I will make you eat dinner with my hands today.

(Like that karna had his dinner and went to sleep)
K: radha ma today I have taken first step to become a great warrior.
(With that he went to sleep)
