Karna : healing the wounds

Armour

Next day
At rajya sabha
All were seated on their seats while karna was standing in the middle chained.

King: start the punishment.
(A soldier came there with whip in his hands. Everyone's eyes were on karna only who for only god knows why he is smiling.)
Suyo: (in mind) is he really that stupid, before he told me nothing to worry they can't lay even a Scratch on me I thought he will run away but he. God knows what he is planning, he even asked me to not interfere in his matter in rajya sabha today.

Soldier lift the whip to smash it on karna but what happened shocked everyone.
The whip broken lies on the floor and karna was wearing a beautiful golden armour which appeared from nowhere.
Sanjay told king and queen 👑 what just happened and now again everyone were looking at karna being amazed.
Vidhur: what is this.
K: (sheepishly) armour.
Vidhur: but you have to take the punishment so take it off even it is divine and came from nowhere.
K: mahamantri if you were the one who was getting punishment but because of your hand you can't get the punishment so will you take it off or peal it.
Vidhur: what nonsense are you speaking. Why would I peal my hand for the punishment.
K: exactly like you can't peal your I too can't take this armour off because just like your hand is the part of your body , this armour is too part of my body and can't be taken off.
(Now there was silence in the court. But in this silence no one observed the rajmata who is wiping her tears thinking her past)
K: what happened take an another whip soldier as my punishment was to get whipped on my back so complete it afterall kings orders should implement.
Mahamahim: but it isn't going to effect you in anyway.
K: punishment is only given mahamahim it isn't something to calculate it's effect on the person. This punishment if given to a weak person may take his life but if given to a warrior of great callibor may not have much effect. And because of the law of hastinapur it just state 10 lashes on the back, not caring who is there so why bothering now that it effects me or not.
King: he is saying the truth before also we never calculated the effect this punishment is giving to the person so today too it should not be calculated just complete the punishment and free karna.
(After the punishment was completed karna went and stand behind suyo who was sitting on his throne.)
K:see I told you that nothing is going to happen.
Suyo: if you would have told me before only that you have an armour I would not have been worried so much.
K: you know its fun to see you in that state.
Suyo: just wait for the sabha to end I will make mata beat you.
K: you can't do this.
Suyo: off course I can do. Because of you one day I will have white hairs.
K: why everyone just say the same dialogue to me my gurudev too used to say the same.
Suyo: your gurudev? What do you mean and who was your gurudev?
K: t-that from the one I learned to run chariot. Chariot yeah.
Suyo: really but isn't your father a charioteer, didn't he teach you.
K: I lost my birth parents when I was 13 so I wasn't able to learn from my pitashree.
Suyo: oh I'm sorry.
K: it's fine.
King: prince duryudhan will you pay your attention to the king too.
Suyo: (glaring karna) I'm sorry king.
King: i will announce the yuvraj of hastinapur after two weeks from now. As prince has came yesterday only from the war so I'm want them to give some time to spend.
(Here rajmata was fighting from her inner turmoil so she fainted because of the stress. Pandavs saw that and took her to the room and the rajya sabha was dismissed)

In gandhaari's chamber
Karna: mata please leave my ear na.
Suyo: mata don't leave him yesterday he was sleeping saw carefree while taking away our sleep.
Gandhaari: you enjoyed seeing us in the tension yesterday na putra.
Karna: mata I promise I will not do this again.
(Then mata Gandhaari left his ear)
Suyo: but Mitra how did you have the armour?
K: I don't know radha ma used to say that it's a blessing from Surya Narayan. That's why it has mark of suryanarayan too and my kundals too are in shape of sun. Leave it mata you should go and check rajmata I heard she fainted in the rajya sabha.
Gandhaari: you heard right. I'm going to check her and you too don't do anything because of which you get in trouble.
(And our suyo and karna made an innocent face like they are the most innocent person living in this whole earth.

Suyo : Mitra mamashree has called me today. So I have to go there. You take care of yourself.
(Saying this suyo left . Few moments were passed when a pigeon 🐦 sat on the shoulder of karna. Seeing him he felt happy because it was his gurudev's pigeon. A letter was tied at his feet. Karna took the letter and started reading it.)

[Hope you enjoy the chapter and it was upto your expectations]
