Karna : healing the wounds

Journey to magical forest

Next day
Karna started his journey on Rashmi ( the chariot given to him by vishwakarma) as he wants to reach his destination as fast as possible and also don't want to take anyone with him as it can be dangerous. After one day journey he reached the boundary of forest as it has been night already so he thought to went in the forest tomorrow only as it would be easy to remember the ways of the forest in daylight then in night.

Next day
After completing his suryapooja karna went inside the forest. He felt that the forest was strangely calm. As if it was the silence before the storm. He sensed the danger coming towards him. And suddenly a black smoke emerge. He couldn't see anything through it but felt a swish sound and dodge it in time that it just hit him little on his hand and made a cut there.
Karna: it was the dagger 🗡️. I have to find a way out of this. Then he again felt something coming towards him but in large numbers and from all directions he jumped high on the same spot and then there was the sound of clashing of weapon on the same height his head was before jumping. He took his bow and created a little tornado 🌪️ and the smoke got cleared. He went deep in the forest fighting different weapons coming in his direction and cutting the branches that are trying to trap it.
Karna: it's really an illustionary forest.
(Then he saw a wall like structure made by the branches and the grass)

He went through it and felt like he came to different place yet so familiar. Just then he saw a burning house and shout of a lady could be heard from inside.
Karna: radha ma radha ma (as he was about to enter the house the place changed and there stood a lady infront of him)
Karna: radha ma.
Radha ma: you are the reason of our death. You couldn't save us. Because of you I and my husband died.
Karna: it's not true radha ma, I tried to help
Radha ma: don't you dare call me your mother. I'm not your mother you left me their to die. You couldn't even save me.
Karna: I'm sorry radha ma, I'm really sorry.( Tears started coming out of his eyes)
[Just then the scene shifted and now there was another lady standing there]
Karna: V-vrushali .
Vrushali: don't call my name from that filty mouth of yours. Because of you my sister is not here with me. I hate you karna, I hate you.
Karna: it wasn't me vrushali. Please just once let me explain.
Vrushali: I don't want to listen anything from you. You are a murderer, the one who killed my sister.
Voices were ringing inside his head he could heard you couldn't even save me, what kind of son you are, you killed my sister, I hate you just then he saw another women.
Riya: you killed me karna because of you I died.
Karna: no it's not true , I didn't killed anyone. What is happening with me. Wait control yourself karna remember what gurudev taught you. Riya is dead she can't be here, radha ma can never blame you think rationally it's just an illusion nothing is here. It's just an illusion.
(As he said that everything went back to normal , now he is standing in the same forest with silence and tears in his eyes who are threatening to fall but he controlled and wiped it.)
Karna: it's not the correct time to think about past.
(He was now walking for almost a day one thing he had realised is that he can't rest even for a minute till he is in the forest as anything can happen any time. While he was walking he had came to the centre of it. Just then a light emerged and with it came the Yash.)
Yash: why you have came to the this forest?
Karna: to collect the Amrit that is mixed with water and is in the pot which you are protecting.
Yash: till today no one has been able to come to the centre. You are a warrior with great physical and mental strength. But before taking the pot first you have to answer my questions.
Karna: I will try. Please ask the questions.
Yash: my first question is what question you can never answer yes to?
( Now karna is confused, the one who never think for a second to give anything he has to someone is now thinking that what is it he can never say yes to.)
Yash: what happened. The great warrior get confused in the first question only.
Karna: Are you sleeping? It is the answer we can never say yes to someone asking us if we are sleeping.
Yash: hm right answer. So my next question is what is always infront of you but can't be seen.
Karna: it's easy, the future.
Yash: right. The last question what can you break even if you never pick it or touch it ?
Karna: ( what is this.)
Yash: if you will not be able to answer than you have to again cross the forest and come to me.
Karna (in mind I can't let this happen because if I have to start it all over then I won't be able to reach magadha within the week and my promise to suyo will break. Wait promise) it's promise we don't pick or touch it but can break it.
Yash: right answer.( Just then a pot appeared in the hands of Yash.) Tell me one thing why do you want this?
Karna: I want it to cure the blindness of someone.
Yash: then it won't be of any use to you.
Karna: but why
Yash: for it to be useful one has to give all the good deeds he has done in his life that is the reason no God has used it till now because no one wants to spend there all good deeds for this. Even if it can cure anything.
Karna: I'm ready to give my all good deeds.
Yash: you sure?
Karna: yes.
Yash: fine then. (With that the Amrit retained his power to cure anything and karna took it and went back to magadha)

At magadha
When karna reached there he saw everyone waiting for him and suyo smiling weirdly at him like he has done something which isn't going to go well for karna. He was just thinking about this just when mata Gandhaari twisted his ear.
Karna: ahh mata. It's hurting. Please leave it.
Gandhaari: so you said that my care for you is useless huh. Is shouldn't fear that much that you are a grown man and a great warrior so why fear huh.
Karna: what are you saying mata when did I said that. Ahhh.
Gandhaari: how dare you left without telling me that too alone.
Suyo: and mata he also said to me not to tell mata about his going and he loves to give you tension.
Karna: you suyo I will see you later. Mata he is lying I didn't said anything like that please believe me now see I have came from a long journey and I'm hungry too. Won't you feed your son.
Gandhaari:( leaving his ear and caressing it) why didn't you told me before that you are hungry. Come I had prepared your favourite kheer. I will feed you with my own hands.
(With that karna went with mata Gandhaari not before showing tongue to suyo)

Suyo: (scoffed) drama king.
