Petrichor - Time Travel To Mahabharat Era

Mourn

"I curse you to be an eunuch for life!!!", Urvashi cursed him, much to his shock. He felt like the ground he was standing on was being dragged from under him. He immediately got on his knees and joined his hands, pleading, "Mata! Please don't do this to me! You- You can't force me into doing what I don't like! I see you as my mother! Tell me, how can a mother curse her child? Please!". Urvashi's expression softened, but soon, her anger took over her mind and she started to say something, but suddenly, a booming voice could be heard, "Urvashi!".

Vaishnavi, who was looking angry as ever, entered the room at a fast pace, summoning a Trident in her hand. "HOW DARE YOU CURSE MY HUSBAND?", her voice was so loud and powerful, it emitted energy that pushed Urvashi away and she fell down. Urvashi felt goosebumps all over her body as she saw the anger of the wife of the man she desired, and that desire is now getting replaced with extreme fear. Vaishnavi pointed her trident at her and was about to attack, but Urvashi immediately joined her hands, "Mata! Mata please! Please forgive me!". Vaishnavi took her trident away and vanished it, much to Urvashi's relief for a moment.

Vaishnavi started shouting, "What did you call me? Mata? Then what is my husband to you? Father? Cha! Shame on you!", making Urvashi drop her head down. Vaishnavi got enraged at Urvashi's silence, "Hey, You Apsara! You came from my Brother's, MY BROTHER'S THIGH! remember that! You have to be at least remorseful of what you have done! And all I see is... Fear? Really? Fear? Just like how you cursed my husband, I'm cursing you too!", Making Urvashi gasp. Arjun rushed towards her and held her hand, "Ishwari! Please let it g-", but she held his cheeks, "How can I, Aarya? I can't! And I will never give up on you!". Arjun's heart was dancing at her words but the situation was not right for him to think about that.

Urvashi immediately joined her hands, "Mata, please, forg-", but Vaishnavi cut her off by saying, "You cursed my husband because he rejected your beauty, right? Then listen, I curse you, to become ugl-", Indra entered the scene by joining his hands, "Ishwari, wait! Please don't do this! Please!". "Lord Indra! Don't stop me! She cursed my husband! Let her endure agony!", Vaishnavi said in a louder voice. Arjun said, "Ishwari! Please don't do this! You are not the type to curse! Remember, Guru Dron gave you a similar curse you were about to give to Mata Urvashi! But you not cursing... You will be different from others! You should! Please, listen to me, Love!".

Her expression softens as Arjun speaks with her, and her trident vanished, and in no time, she was back to her normal Avatar. She looked at Indra and said, "Search! Search for a solution! And you, Urvashi; you too!". Urvashi joined her hands and said, "I'm sorry, Mata! It was my mistake! He rejected me, and i gave into my anger that was also fueling my desires! I cannot take back my curse, but, i can reduce it, for one year! And that one year will be beneficial, him being eunuch!". Indra nodded and said, "Yeah! He- He can use it during Agyathavas! Mata!".

Vaishnavi nodded seriously, looking down, while Arjun was looking determined, as he got a solution for Agyatvas. Chitrasen entered the area and got to know about the whole incident. He was initially angry at Urvashi, but he promised his friend a boon, "Arjun! I am giving you a boon, of being very well versed in all art forms, which will be beneficial in the Agyatvas!". Urvashi looked at Vaishnavi and held her shoulder, "Mata! As a repentance, I wish to give you a boon! I know about the curse Guru Dron had given you, the curse of you losing all your skills and beauty, and being unrecognisable! But, i give you a boon of being as beautiful as always. You might be unrecognisable to others, but your beauty will never fade! And your own family, whoever you feel really safe with and trust with everything, will be able to recognise you in this one year! And not anyone!".

Vaishnavi smiled and nodded at Urvashi, and immediately turned towards Arjun. Crying, she tightly hugged him, while getting hiccups. "I'm sor- Sorry!". To give the couple privacy, everybody else left the room without a word. He reciprocated the hug with tears in his eyes, "I- I am sorry, Ishwari! I'm at the fault!". She looked up at him, still not breaking the hug, "You are! But, you were helpless as well! Just like me! I couldn't do anything about what happened! What would you do! Huh?".
