Nite:-
This part is just a tough work, as I wasn't able to find proper description and was also not being able to write the emotions properly.and will be edited properly in future.

I looked at the man who was holding my wrist.

His dark black eyes were portraying anger.
His muscular body made me sure that he was a skilled warrior.
His anger was reflected on his face as the light reflected from his almost fair body.

My mind became blank. I wasn't able to interpret what they all were saying. I could just hear them shout.

The other suitors started revolting, shouting, and they tried to attack to stop him for taking me with them.

Pitashree tried too, but this man and another guy much fairer than him, maybe he was his friend, were successful to stop him and the other suitors from attacking.

I could see Maa crying badly pleading them to leave me. Prerna herself was in deep shock.

Suddenly, I realised the reality, I was been abducted from my own svayamvar.

I tried to free my wrist but his grip was too tight.

He dragged me too his chariot as his friend stopped the others from following us using his archery skills.

He tied me to the chariot. I tried to free myself but it was of no use.

I felt all my hopes, my wishes, my expectations shatter as I realised that now I won't even get to choose my groom, leave away my expectations and all.

He nor his friend looked at me as we left Kalinga.

Finally, my emotions started coming out from me as a tear rolled down my cheeks.

I looked at Kalinga from  distance.

The place which I was home to me,
The place where I became who I really am,
The place where I have been living all this time,
The place where I got all the happiness and love,
Now I am going away from here,
And that too against my will.
I don't know if I will ever return or not.

Hey Bhagwan, I don't know what you have written in my destiny but whatever it is,
Please take care of Maa and Pitashree, I am there only child.

I sighed at looked at that man. He wasn't even looking at me. His eyes were fixed on the path.

He doesn't even think that explaining his deed is necessary?

"What do you think you were doing?" I asked in a harsh tone.

"Something which my family has done before." He replied without even looking at me.

He is the prince of Hastinapur right?
Oh wait, Pitamah Bhishma of Hastinapur did abduct the princesses, Amba, Ambika and Ambalika for his younger brother from their svayamvar.

Soon we reached the kingdom of Hastinapur. As we arrived, we saw an old man at the palace door with his bow waiting for us. Behind him were the king and queen of Hastinapur, Maharaj Dhritarashtra and Maharani Gandhari.

I have a heard about them from my Pitashree.

The chariot stopped and Duryodhan and his friend walked down the chariot looking at them.

"Duryodhan, what have I heard? You have abducted the princess of Kalinga." Pitamah said in anger.

"Yes Pitamah, I have abducted her. She rejected me and I can't let anyone disrespect Hastinapur." He tried to defend him.

I didn't disrespect anyone.
I just did what my heart said.
And if other suitors didn't find it disrespecting them why did he?

" This isn't right Duryodhan" Pitamah continued saying.

"You shouldn't be telling me what is right and what is wrong,Pitamah. Don't you remember you have yourself abducted the princesses of Kashi. It's like a tradition of our family and I only followed it." Duryodhan spoke back.

Now that's disrespecting.

"But--" Pitamah tried to say but he was interrupted.

"Pitamah, I think Putra Duryodhan is right. He only followed his dharma and abducted her only because she disrespected our kingdom by rejecting him." Maharaj Dhritarastra interrupted.

But that isn't how a svayamvar works.

"As you say, Maharaj. But he won't marry her without her consent. If she disagrees for the marriage with Duryodhan, she must be send back to Kalinga with all respect." Pitamah said not being able to argue with Maharaj.

Finally someone remembered about me and my consent.

"She will be, Pitamah" Maharaj agreed.

A maid came to me and untied me. She helped me walk down the chariot.

"Putri, you don't need to fear.No one will force you and the decision is upto you. Just tell me, do you want to marry Duryodhan or not? " Pitamah asked.

Do I have a choice?

I looked at Duryodhan as his expressions were a bit tensed.

"Pitamah, when you abducted Princess Amba. Didn't you send her back too with all respect? But was she accepted? She wasn't accepted by her family neither her lover." I started telling him my view. "Won't that happen in my case too if I return now? My parents will have to live a life full of shame and I would become just a burden on them as no one would marry a woman who has been abducted. So, I do will marry Rajkumar Duryodhan with my consent."

As soon as I said my decision, I was able to see everyone happy with my decision.

To Be Continued
