Karna : healing the wounds

Gurukul days

From next day karna's training got started. He used to wake up early do his suryapooja, then clean the ashram,  bring water and then have breakfast made by mata dharini. After this he had his lessons of politics, economic and social needs, in the evening he learns warfare techniques.
When on first day his gurudev asked him to pick the weapon he wants to  learn, he picked up all the weapons and said I want to learn to use every weapon and warfare present in this earth. Seeing the determination in his eyes , bhagwan parshuram promised him to teach every weapon. Bhagwan parshuram always wants to see his limit where he will get tired and told him to stop but karna never give up even after being tired sometimes he never told bhagwan parshuram to stop. Bhagwan parshuram too always make him go through the hard training but karna never complain about it. Karna's bond with bhagwan parshuram and mata dharini has grown stronger. However bhagwan parshuram never showed his caring side to karna but inside he is happy to have karna as his disciple and without himself knowing this he has started to wait for karna every night to give him a hug but he dares not to reciprocate it. Although karna is serious in his training but that doesn't mean his mischiefs are any less, he often get bhagwan parshuram in trouble and that is what happening now.

Mata dharini is scolding bhagwan parshuram for what he too doesn't know but he is damn sure that karna is behind this.
D: Arya Today I will not give you dinner.
P: but priye atleast tell me what did I do.
D: didn't you stole the pot filled with kheer.
P: who told you that. I didn't eat or stole anything.
(Till now karna was enjoying watching his gurudev getting scolded but now he think that soon the situation is going to turn to him. So he thought to escape before that)
P: where are you going. Stay still. Priye can you tell me who told that I stole the kheer.
D: putra karna told me.
P: (twisting the ears of karna) so now you started lying too, huh ? Today I will give you such a hard punishment that you will remember it till decades.
K: ahhh gurudev. I didn't lied to anyone mata asked me that did I saw someone stealing the kheer so I told her that I saw you coming to the hut. I didn't say that stole the kheer. What can I do that mata interpreted it like this.
P: (twisting his ear more) you will surely give me gray hairs.
K: how can I do that gurudev you already have gray hairs. Now please leave my poor ear.🥺 If you will keep twisting it then my ear will get big I know I mata loves me more that's why you are taking your anger at me. See na mata your husband is trying hard to make my face look like monkey 🐵 by twisting my ear.
P: (scoff) how can I make you look like monkey when you already are a monkey.
D: Arya leave my putra it was me who misinterpreted putra karna. Karna has no fault in it.
P: (leaving karna's ear)it's bcz of you that his getting this much mischievous.
K:(rubbing his ear) see mata I told you that gurudev always scold me, during training also he compliments everyone except me. Even after I asked him how I did he only said it was ok you still need more practicing.(imitating bhagwan parshuram)
P: oh so now you are taking revenge of it huh you brat just stay there today I will give you a good beating( saying this parshuram dashed towards karna but karna hide behind mata dharini and used her as his shield)
P: move away dharini today I will not leave this brat.
(But karna continue to hide behind his mata. When bhagwan parshuram crossed mata dharini karna ran out of ashram behind him his gurudev with stick who is following him)
People who saw this know that now karna is going to get a great beating but the sight was not new to them it was the most common activity that happens in this ashram.

Time skip
At training ground
P: Now your training is almost over just the education of brahmaatra is left but before teaching you brahmastra I want to take your test.
K: ji gurudev. I'm ready for your test just tell me what to do.
P: you have to fight me with all your might.
K: what
P: yes , you listened it correct.
K: (stuttering) b-but gurudev how can I raise my weapon against you. Please don't give me such a hard punishment gurudev.( Kneeling at his gurudev's feet)
P: (in strict tone) it's my order to you, are you going to disobey me radhe?
K: n-no gurudev.
P: good. Then get ready tomorrow will be our fight and it will not be stop unless and until one of us is defeated or tridev Stops us .(saying this bhagwan parshuram left)
At night
Karna was seating at the bank of river. His inner thoughts were no less than a turmoil. Sleep was far away from his face. He tried to sleep but couldn't. All he was thinking about is tomorrow's battle.

Next day
P: pick up your bow 🏹 karna.(karna did it and the fight started between them.
Karna wasn't using his full power bcz he hurting his gurudev, the thought was enough tormenting to shake him. Bhagwan parshuram sensed it and said)
P: karna fight with your full power. What do you think that I can't protect myself. By doing this you are insulting your guru . Was this your devotion towards your guru. (Hearing his devotion for his gurudev getting questioned , karna get angry. So he started fighting with his full might invoking different celestial weapons. Atmosphere around them started getting darker. Every god was seeing there fight. The fight was getting a lot destructive. After 2days when both of their bow got broke they switched to other weapons. Like this ther fight continues and now it was 7th day of there fight, they were fighting continuously for seven days doesn't matter day or night. Now goddess prithvi went to Mahadev pleading him to stop their fight as she can't bear it anymore and if the fight continues there will be earthquakes and floods on the earth. Bhagwan parshuram and karna's destructive weapons were going to collide but were stopped by an another weapon. Suddenly a light came and then with it Mahadev came in front of them. Both bhagwan parshuram and karna greeted Mahadev.
Mahadev: parshuram now you should stop your fight ,this earth 🌎 can't bear your both fights anymore.
P: sure gurudev I declare that our fight has came to an end.
M: putra karna I am impressed with your fighting skills as well as from your devotion towards your gurudev. I wish to give you my parshupadastra . Unless you will be on the path of righteousness you will be undefeatable.
K: shukriya (thanks) Mahadev.
(With that Mahadev left from there)
Now karna and bhagwan parshuram was alone but karna was unable to look in his gurudev's eyes.)
P: karna you don't have to feel ashamed of fighting with your guru. It was me who ordered you . And today I have to say that I'm proud of my disciple radhey karna.
(It was the first time bhagwan parshuram has praised karna. Now karna wasn't able to control and hugged his gurudev and started crying 😭 like a baby)
K: how c-can you order s-such thing to me gurudev. You like troubling me right. I will complain mata for this.
P: (he laughed at this and slowly caressed his disciple's hair) while looking at you now who can say you are a warrior who just now fight this parshuram and remain undefeated. Now wipe your tears and come I have to hear scolding from your mata too.

(With that there day passed. Karna sleeping while hugging his gurudev. Next day bhagwan parshuram taught karna brahmastra and now it's the time for his gurudakshina.)
P: I want two things from you karna. This aryavrat will see a great destruction in future because of greed and jealousy between two sets of cousin. I want you to go to hastinapur and try to Stop this destruction which may happen because of Kauravas and pandavs.
K: As you say gurudev. What is your 2nd wish gurudev.
P: that I will tell you afterwards. Now pack your stuff you have to leave tomorrow.

Parting with his gurudev and mata was most difficult for karna. He promised his mata that he will come once in every month.

(With that promise karna left to hastinapur on the new journey of his life)
