Time pass in a blink of our eye isn't it ?

Five years later

A girl was running through the forest hurriedly got stumbled upon a stone and fell down blood was oozing of tip of her toes yet she pulled herself up and sprinted towards the end of the forest.

A loud roar was heard making fear grip inside her she turned behind to see the a huge crane shaped demon was behind her . She tired her best to escape but seems like her fate was written in other way

In this situation she can only think of one name "Krishn" she yelled on top of her lungs suddenly a commotion she closed her eyes thought this was her last day on earth but how can this be when radha's krishn is here .......

with in seconds he saved her from danger. "radhe be careful from next time onwards, don't be so careless" he scolded her a bit pulling her close to his heart. "but when my krishn is with me what is the need to fear" she answered smilingly "but who knows I might always be by your side" he said putting up a stern face.

"I know because this krishna couldn't leave my side never ever" she said but seeing his serious face , she was a bit confused. "Is there something bothering you krishna" she asked him

"hmm yes radhe, there is someone who is going to need my help. But she doesn't like to take help from anyone stubborn you see" he said remembering the one who is close to him as his radha

"then you her by not letting her know that you are helping her krishn" she said him smile widely "looks like my radhe got so some brains" he joked making her huff and puff "you I am not going to leave you today" she chased him all they out of the forest.

"nothing can happen with these two" Vishaka said who was sitting on top of the tree seeing her brother and friend run around , but suddenly a apple hit her head she lifted her face up to see her elder brother sitting on the top most branch "do you have an idea whom krishna was mentioning" he asked from there

"how can I know dau? He is a mystery just like sri, it took me nearly five years to know about her totally but 12 years are passed but still I can't understand my brother's words. how can you even think I can understand as you being with him these many yugas weren't able to understand. leave it he we will tell us as the time comes dau" she said jumping down the tree but suddenly she started to shake the tree making Balram fall from the top.

"idoit wait" he started to chase her with his broken nose.

Hastinapur

Whole Hastinapur was mourning for the death of maharaj pandu and maharani madri. Kunti and her five sons have arrived to Hastinapur. But someone was so heartbroken seeing her leave all marital signs and face which has lost the colour of happiness and joy.

Chitra couldn't build up to look at kunti, she was totally broken cannot come out and console her nor can stay there and see her like this. She sighed and went back to her home as now her most concern is her children kunti has whole kuru family by her side but her husband has only her by side.

As soon as she entered her home she found her husband sitting there staring the ground."arya what happened you have not gone to palace" she asked him "I am thinking that we should leave hastinapur chitra" he said

"but why such big decision in haste arya" she sat beside him pulling his hand towards her. "have you forgot what happened with our children few days before. If not for duryodhan's and gandhar raj today our daughter wouldn't be alive. You have seen how heartlessly they burnt my sons palms, look at those two now they have became so silent that their silence is making me fear. At least moving away from here make them a bit better I feel" he said as the days back memory flooded into their minds

Sri and karn were as usual were practising deep inside the forest. Karn was shooting arrows while sri was busy in reading scripts, vedas. Suddenly they heard a commotion before they could hide their things they were caught by some group of bhramhin's hailing from hastinapur.

Sri and karn were dragged into the centre of the hastinapur to punish them, and to their bad chitrasen was out of city with chitra they were left in care of adhirath and radha.

They have requested vidur to give punishment to both of them as against the rules they have been reading vedas and practising archery. Though vidur was reluctant to give them punishment as they were like children to him too, he ordered them to burn karn's hands and pour hot molten gold in sri's throat.

Karn was pleading them to leave sri and punish hm instead. But their pleas were gone deaf ear . First karn's hands were burnt in fire, sri immediately ran towards him pushing them all and clutching his hands and blowing air on it. Her violet eyes were filled with tears for the first time in this new life seeing her brother's pain.

This all was witnessed by spies of gandhar raj and informed him immediately. Gandhar raj took duryodhan along with him to dhritarastra as he can't say no to duryodhan's wish.

Duryodhan cried in front of dhritarstra as shakuni explained the situation to both of them. dhritarastra as soon as he got to know this hearing duryodhan cry miserably. He himself went to the place as soon as they reached there they saw three persons were catching sri and trying to open her mouth.

And someother men were stopping karn to go there "stop" dhritarastra yelled seeing him everyone stopped and bowed to him. "Who gave you all permission to punish them without bringing into my notice" He yelled making everyone flinch.

As they explained the situation to him be became furious on them mainly on vidur "this is my order leave them and if anyone dare to defy my order will face my wrath" his anger was on peak knowing how can vidur order such a thing to do to sri and karn

They both are treated as their own family then how can he? "but maharaj" vidur tried to say something , making him snap his head towards him "I said no one will defy my order that includes you too mahamantri" he said making everyone back off from their places.

soon they released sri karn and duryodhan ran towards her and hugged her close and cried their heart out seeing her fine. But sri was not responding to any of their questions she was just staring in direction of vidur, as she considered him her father figure gave him the respect and love she gave for her father.

Her eyes were reflecting pain, betrayal, disappointment nothing else. Shakuni asked both of them to come along with him to palace but sri immediately refused "no gandhar naresh we are mere sutas we are born to serve you royals not to stay with them and take their hospitality" she replied coldly , those words pierced vidur and dhritarastra

Duryodhan and karn were shocked to hear such words from her as she was always hoping around saying everyone to be happy and smile but looking her broken was making their heart clench

"putri don't say like this you considered us as your family and we too. I know this shouldn't happen in first place but we can't leave you like this" shakuni said trying to touch her but a hand stopped him. Karn who was burning in rage seeing his sister in this state

"we are capable enough to take care of ourselves. We don't need anyone's help gandhar naresh we learnt a lesson today that not to accept anyone as family other than blood relations thank you for teaching us. suyo you should also leave with them as you also might get punished for befriending a suta" he said

"no mitr if even they punish me I won't show my back to you both as you are only those persons who saw good in me despite seeing the bad qualities like others and you both are my only friends then how can you say that to me?" saying so he cried clutching both of them to himself as he thought they might disappear in air.

Some how shakuni managed to calm the situation but sri and karn went to their house instead of palace or radha's house. Soon this was known to chitrasen and chitra as they reached the city both were enraged to a level to kill all those but sri said them not to anything as they can't change their thoughts by doing all these.

Sri and karn stopped going to palace or meeting any royal except duryodhan and shakuni as only they stood in support to them. That too in Mahadev mandir no where else.

Duryodhan from then stopped even talking with anyone only confined to formal talks and mostly was staying with shakuni and his brothers trying to be a good elder brother for them.

Vidur was feeling guilty by doing all this but as duty of minister he done that. But it made him lose his elder brother totally . After that incident dhritarastra started to address him only as mahamantri not by his name.

Bhishm though was disappointed he knew vidur done this as a part of his duty but somewhere he felt it wrong they doesn't have right to take some one's life so easily. Gandhari lost her elder daughter and elder son in that incident. now whole hastinapur palace is surrounded by only silence a dead silence.

Present

sri and karn were sitting near the temple of mahadev just staring at the idol suddenly a bird came there flying and sat on sri's shoulder. "sri some kind of letter is tied to its legs see" Karn said making her turn and see the letter she pulled it out

"Dear stira" she read the first line '"agh! who?" she was confused to see a letter from unknown...... "read further sri" karn said she nodded ...............
