Changed faith

Chapter 4

" Bhaiya..... please forgive me " Devrya cried as she stared down while Karn and Adhirath packed their stuff along with Radha and Sahira " it's because of my behavior that you lose everything, I'm a curse - ".

" you are not responsible, putri. It is my fault. Kuruvansh was built on disrespect, suffering and tears of women. First was Amba, then Gandhari and countless other women.... and it could have been you " Adhirath had tears in his eyes " your brother was right, these people will ruin our family and I will not let my only daughter suffer !!! ".

" We leave tonight " Karn declared and went out to prepare the chariot as Sahira went to load stuff on the chariot and Sahira helped him.

" I should have killed them, all of them " Karn hissed " whoever attacked you, whoever covered up the attack on you, the attack on my sister ! - "

" but you would be killing while knowing the truth about the Pandavas while killing Bhagwan Parashuram's shishya as well " Sahira concluded " you held back because you didn't want to hurt your Gurudev's feelings ".

Karn pondered something " you once told me that in your timeline, my sister's name wasn't known ..... ".

Sahira felt disturbed " or maybe her existence was covered up..... even it disturbs me to think if that minister could have succeeded. Kala pradarshan had already taken place and you were supposed to have gone to Anga before the incident with Rya ..... ".

" It means that my ambition destroyed my family " Karn had tears in his eyes and then smiled sadly at her " it means I owe you so much more than I could have thought possible...... you saved this family ".

Karn glared down at the chariot wheel " next time, I won't hesitate if they come after our family. Mark my words...... I will burn this society to the ground and destroy everything, make them feel the pain my family would have felt ".

While Sahira was alarmed at his vow, her heart suddenly fluttered and started beating when he said 'our' family

Karn and Adhirath had packed up their stuff and were about to leave with their family when they were shocked to find out hundreds of people outside their home who carried their own stuff.

" Ranjan, mitra..... what is going on ? " Adhirath asked his friend, who had packed his belongings as well along with his family.

" Mitra.... you have been blessed to have a son who has bravery and strength, puts down a cruel Kshatriya and preserves his sister's honor..... Despit being Mahamahim Bhishm's charioteer, your family is still not safe..... If you are not safe then what are the chances for my daughter if I stay here...... I will follow you and Karn anywhere you go. Your son has given me hope that Sutas like us have strength within ourselves ! ".

" So will I " 

" To hell with these royals "

" we are with you, Adhirath "

" let's go then..... gather as much food as you can. Prepare your own chariots and horses. I can't promise that it will be safe. We would have to work hard to create a place for ourselves where we're going, I will have you know this..... I hope you have packed your food and everything, because it will be a long travel " Karn bluntly said.

They all agreed nonetheless.

" What do you mean they're gone ?!! " Bhishma thundered as he looked at his soldiers.
