Story Unfolds :
Uruvi was standing tall in front of two pyres lying beside each other. She was not shown any sign of life in her body too. In vacant eyes. In expressionless face. She was staring hard at the pyres of her two beloved persons. Her own husband Karna and her middle sister Supriya. Her eyes were blurred in tears.
Padmavati clutched her hand from side. She was crying constantly too.
Suddenly she wiped her tears gently and tuned back to her elder sister Vrushali. Sharply. To tell this -
"Nahin, jiji, hamare ashru in dono ke swarga jatra main bighno daal sakti hain. (No, elder sister, we should not cry. Our tears can make both of them restless in the heaven.)"
Padmavati looked at her direction with love and affection. She thought that Uruvi was coping up with the fatal accident. But she was so wrong. She did not know that she was going to loose her too!!!
Uruvi had already blocked Pandava brothers to burn Karna. She gave the responsibility on the shoulders of his best friend Duryodhan.
"Main inke Antim sanskar ke dayitwa ap logo ko Nahin dungi. Barna sab log iss udaharan ko anusaran karenge!!! Pehle hatya karenge aur phir mahan ban ke antim sanskar bhi karenge!! Kadapi nahin!!" (I will not permit you to do his last rites. Then everyone will follow you. First kill someone, then will do his last rites to prove their greatness. No!! Never!!)
Uruvi's firm reply bewildered all. Even Duyodhan. He also looked quite amazed by her personality. Then he came forward confidently and yelled aloud while snatching the burning wooden stick in his right hand from Yudhhisthir -
"Main apne mitra ke parthib sarir ko tum jyse hatyare ko chune bhi nahin dunga!!! (I will never let you touch the remaining dead body of my friend Karna!! By killers like you!!)"
Four Panadava were angry with her decision. And this behavior of raged Duryodhan fueled in their anger. All of them looked deeply hurt. Except only Yuddhisthir. He was completely silent after uttering those words. He never talked so much in his entire life.
