MIRAGE OF HEARTSTRINGS

MIRROR IMAGE OF LIFE

"-think that would be better"

"Ji Maa, as you say"

The eldest Kaurava muttered before turning around to leave as he felt the eyes on himself but he knows it is not from the one he excepted..........maybe because he thought...........what did he thought? And why did he thought about that even when he himself messed up everything?

But did he really ruined everything or................stopped the disaster before it could happen by stepping on the false blooming flower of hope cruelly?

Whatever happened, happened. Not like he can undo it and not to forget that he does not even know that what he will do even if he went back in time cause in the last he still can't afford to see such emotions in anyone's eyes, what his wife or what other person.

For a pause moment he thought his fate could be the only that could be this much twisted in these matters but it got proved wrong when he hear the words from his brother's mouth.

Why does it always has to be him or his family to bear such things?

Now even Dushasana is caught in a marriage which will not took a good directio- But how can he assumed that it won't work out? His brother's situation and his own situation are two different side of path. It is not important that what happened with him will happen with his younger brother too..................
.............True, maybe henis just thinking too much.

"Duryodhana?"

----------------------------------

"Karna"

The words were simple like greeting but the Devotee of Surya Dev can feel the underlying weight.

It is not like that he has experienced anything like his bestfriend has but what he knows is that, never in his whole has he had seen his bestfriend like this......vulnerable, open like a book with simple words, without guard.

"Come, let's go to your office"

Nodding, the HastinapurRaj went towards his office but karna can see the hesitation in his body language, though he didn't pointed it out nor made it obvious that he knows as he didn't want his bestfriend's condition to be worsen.

Reaching to The Royal Office, karna pour a glass of crystal clear water into the copper designed glass which is making a sapphire sound when water being poured into it as put the jug away. Glancing towards his bestfriend whose eyes are stuck on the calm yet empty world, he spoke out softly "Duryodhana"

--------------------------------

The glazed eyes immediately turn towards bright soft eyes as he noticed the water filled glass in karna's hand before taking it, chugging down his thorns filled throat.

It was all inarticulate until a loud sound echoed in the office of copper designed glass being collide with wooden bookshelf. The sound was too loud in the silent atmosphere that it almost made the the owner of heavenly grey eyes wince but he held it inside until a faint voice enters his ears but not clear enough to comprehend it as he felt a warm hand grabbing his own trembling hands......trembling? He didn't even realised that his body was literally vibrating until the warm hand rub his back till the fog in his head become clear enough to comprehend his surrounding.

"Mitr"

Ah, luckily it is karna, not someone else.

Duryodhana pulled himself away from karna as karna straighten up, stepping back to let Duryodhana have some space until the newly crowned Maharaj started chuckling before muttering "pathetic, isn't it?"

Both presence in the office knows that the question wasn't for karna cause karna would never say nor would agree to it and that's why Duryodhana questioned himself,leaning against the open window behind while staring at the ceiling.

"say mitr, how come you are here?"

As much as they both know that having the topic change is most likely inevitable, karna let it happen for his no business of it and got his bestfriend's sanity which Duryodhana felt grateful for.

"To collect the papers"

Hearing this, the HastinapurRaj chuckled lightly before walking towards his table while saying "you are a samrat now karna. You could had just ordered for the papers and I would had sent it to you by one of my brother's hands"

"And that's why I came" The sentence took Duryodhana by surprise as he look towards karna.

"Hmm?"

"You all need a bit of peace and calmness more. There is already too much going outside the palace" 'the rumours of this unlike marriage has been spread across many Rajyas' but karna does not say it since Duryodhana already understood it.

"Here you go. You are correct. We need peace.......peace" The said person sighed rubbing his temple before giving the papers to the Samrat who took it, rolling it carefully before walking outside the office, knowing it is not a good time to talk.

--------------------------------

Leaning his head on the chair behind, the Gandhariputra let a groan of tiredness while furiously rubbing his face until he calm down again or more like have up after having his brain exhausted by recalling the situation again.

"Now only God knows what will happen next"
