A Broken Queen

Mamashri ...

KARN'S POV

" What happened Bhratashri ?.." I was snapped out of my thoughts. We were on our horses , heading towards Hastinapur.

I heaved a heavy sigh.
" Nothing..." I exhaled. But a rear slipped from my eye unknowingly.

" Why are you crying Bhratashri?.."Arjun asked in low voice , with concern laced to it. Me and him were riding behind everyone .

When he asked ' Why are you crying?' ... More tears slipped from my eyes and before I even know , I was really crying. Arjun stopped and I also stopped.

" You realised your mistake, ...am I right ?" Arjun asked while mounting off from his horse. I also mounted off from the horse.

" Y-Yes , .... I r-realised i-it yesterday o-only. B-But t-today G-Gurudev c-cursed m-me...
I w-will n-never g-get m-my A-Agni back , Arjun.." I cried while leaning on a tree .

ARJUN'S POV

I was feeling horrible by seeing him crying. Bhrata Karn is a kind of tough guy and he didn't cry usually , so seeing him cry like this broke my heart.
I gave him a side hug and he cried on my shoulder.

" Don't worry Bhratashri, Agni loves you and I am sure she will immediately recognise you when we will go to bring her back. And about falling in love with someone else , I don't think she will fall in love with someone else other than you. " I consoled as if I know everything. I am just saying this to make him feel better but deep down I know , Agni will fall in love with someone else as mentioned in Bhagwan Parshuram's curse to Bhrata Karn .

" I know Arjun ,..you are saying that to just make me feel better. But both of us knows , it's not easy to bring her back because she will fall in someone else.
Now I am cursing myself,.....why didn't believe her before !??...." He sobbed. I sighed.

" Don't worry Bhratashri,.. everything will be alright. Just believe in your love for Agni.." I said. He looked at me with teary eyes and nodded. I smiled sadly.

KALIYUGA

AGNI'S POV

There was a lunch break and I forgot to make food in morning. So I haven't bought tiffin .

" Hey !....Want to come with us ?....We are going to nearby restaurant for lunch. " Daksh asked. He became my friend.

" Umm...No thanks. Actually I brought my tiffin. You all can go..." I replied with a small smile.

" Oh ok ,...It would have been fun if you also came with us , as all of us are going. But no problem, you can come with us next time . Bye !!" He waved. I grinned and nodded.

Actually I lied to him because, I don't want to waste a small amount of money that I have right now. Salary will be given at the end of month. And right now I have very less money that I can't afford lunch in some restaurant, as in Mumbai restaurants are really expensive.

I am extremely hungry!!...

I got up from my table and came out to take some warmth of sun because I was freezing while sitting in AC.

" Why I am suddenly feeling some weird kind of relation with sun ?" I mumbled to myself. I don't know why , but after coming back to Mumbai I am feeling weird things.

I looked down at my fingers , and saw that lion ring in my finger and I don't even remember when I did buy this ring . I am not really a fan of jewellery and I don't think I will ever waste money in buying jewellery. And this ring in my finger looks of extremly pure gold , which must cost lakhs.

" Stop thinking about useless things Vedika!!...And just think about how to survive without eating lunch !" I mumbled to myself as my stomach growled.

I made my way back .
While going back to my cabin , I walked sluggishly , while looking for water... because water is the only thing which can fill stomach.
