MIRAGE OF HEARTSTRINGS

FOYER OF MIRAGE

Well, duryodhana has to say, the perks of having best friends and all above, both of them being very good Kings, it truly did helps him with his work too.

Even though ashwatthama behave like an absolute idiot and the most stubborn after his brothers, his mind is sharp and he knows when to get serious or has to change his demeanour while on the other hand, karna is always a calm one, he likes peace and is not stubborn, unlike ashwatthama who gets what he want, either by hook or crook.

Karna seems like a person who can be remembered first in any crucial moments as his mind stays calm and alert all the time while he mostly is not on violence side unless is forced to choose that but ashwatthama can choose violence anytime and anywhere though his mouth is too deceiving since no one can thought of a brahman being a liar but ashwatthama is a very good one.

While walking towards the royal assemble in his thoughts, duryodhana didn't realised the presence beside him until he look up and then beside to notice the Pandavas going to the royal assembly to as his eyes caught bhima walking beside Arjuna before his eyes caught Yudhishtir's who is also looking at him making him look in front again, simultaneously with yudhishtir.

Duryodhana entered the royal assembly as he glanced towards the Pandavas before going towards his brothers while his father starts "today's assembly is for Dushala's Swayamvar"

They all nodded before starting the discussion as everyone give their opinions and ideas about how to do it, what would be the task? And about how many Rajyas will come? And after that about the meal, arrangements, rest of guests and everything while duryodhana listened attentively all the things, afterall it is about his only sister after vrushali as ashwatthama's future wife and karna's best friend, so his sister who even act like one.

After the discussion, the topic changed as duryodhana tried to keep himself away from yawning while looking around to distract himself until his eyes caught bhima who is listening all the things as duryodhana groan internally, looking away with clenched jaw until he felt a hand on his shoulder. Looking at the person, he found it is vikarna who has his worried gaze on duryodhana as he pat Vikarna's head reassuring.

"you should take rest" Duryodhana hear yuyutsu's voice as he nodded lightly before the meeting end making him immediately leave from there after the permission.

Dammit!! Why is he always looking at bhima!? Has his brain has gotten rotten? And what was that sting yesterday night? It seems his health is still not good and maybe that's why he is behaving like this? Yeah it must be............Then why did he thought of bhima?.............

"Bhanje"

Turning around duryodhana found it is his Mamashree as he sighed annoyingly. Oh, he is not in a good bood nor does he want to ruin someone's so step away from him.

"yes mamashree"

"I wanted to talk about Pandavas I have a perfect plan for them"

Again those Pandavas? Let him take a break from them.

"not now mamashree"

"but bhanje-"

"Mamashree please" Duryodhana groaned going from there, leaving an astonished Gandhar Raj behind.

Well, it is not something for duryodhana to leave a talk in between except his parents as he does not like it sour mood though it counts his mamashree, whom he never stops from talking or leaving the conversation in between with him which duryodhana now did.

Gandhar Raj felt dread filling inside, not knowing why suddenly duryodhana is not listening to him. It has never happened and it should not happen too but it did and it seems he should take more strong steps cause maybe the poison's effect on duryodhana has faded a little and he can't do let that happen.
