Karna TS: Karna's Vows

[Part-1]

The Vow




                   He stood as usual in a bright sunny day for offering prayers. The fiery ball of light was shining gloriously. and the cloudless sky was as blue as the river flowing below it. The birds were out, chirping their songs… the breeze whistled through the turning leaves of the trees. It was soothing him and warming his eyes...Suddenly some thought crossed his mind. He looked at his self appointed Guru and said with firm determination, “I promise donating alms selflessly. The one visiting wont go empty handed I won’t think twice before giving what he wants Oh Suryadev, be my witness and bless me with your everlasting glory!" The sun beamed upon his face, his gaze was locked onto the golden disc and suddenly the sun shined brightly then ever & threw its golden rays on his disciple as if blessing him which made his Kavach and Kundals shine brightly they reflected an intense light that would blinden one's eyes


                   He returned early that evening he entered his palace with a thought that How would his family react? but no one was to be seen in the Palace How is this possible? Where are all gone? Is this their silent protest? he thought...but they don't know about my vow! or did the news of my vow reach before me!, he wondered He called a Dasi and queried,"Where is everyone gone?", perhaps it was better to ask than playing guessing games! Dasi replied in a low voice,"Angarani Vrushali along with your parents is gone to the temple, all the Rajkumars have gone to the Vyayamshala for extra workout..."..."So some more time for me to survive!" he whispered Dasi couldn't catch his words yet continued ". ...and Angarani Supriya is adjusting your chamber!"  He waved the dasi to go and started taking slow steps towards his chamber


                      No doubt he wanted to talk to Supriya regarding his vow. It is better to take his family one by one rather than facing everyone together!, he thought. Moving forward towards his chamber his mind recalled one incidence with this best friend Duryodhana he had laughed when Duryodhan said to him,"No wonder how strong a man is he has to fear his wife! It is his must do duty!!!"..."Its true", he admitted to himself...as he approached his chamber he could imagine the Durgamata avtar of his most introvert and polite wife Supriya!
  

                         He entered his chamber where his wife was adjusting bed-sheet. When she saw him she did Pranam and bowed low to him as it was the custom. She noticed his bare foot and extra glow of his Kavach and Kundals and in a surprised tone raising her eyebrows she whispered but a bit loudly"Dare I ask?"
"I made a vow to Sun God today to donate anything and everything!" he said
She moved forward to his bed and pointing at the bed-sheet she queried" How is this ok, good or excellent?" 
"Hmm..its go..."
"Its my choice Arya", she broke him
"Its excellent dear... your choice is the best!!",he said immediately and continued  "B-but didn't you hear that I made a vow...I vowed to donate anything and everything I have!", he queried...
"I knew you were crazy when I married you!"  she said with a mischievous glint in her eyes
"I am serious!", he frowned
"I know you are, that's why I love you!", she said impishly hoping she had induced right wine in her words
"It did not surprise you?", he asked with amazement
"No",she replied
"Did you expect this vow of mine?", he asked being puzzled
"Yes! kind of a thing", she replied
"B-but..."
Breaking him she replied, "Arya you don't let anyone leave empty handed, you give them anything they ask. So you take any vow or no it doesn't matter, does it? Its just like you have declared a official statement of the things that you generally do! its no surprise to me instead a well-known fact"
Karna was left with no words Supriya proved herself Karnapatni he thought proudly! 
That evening he met unknown side of his family everybody was calm and quiet like the moon. His parents and vrushali were as calm as Supriya was. 
"My family is my best protective shield...even more than my kavach",he whispered to himself and a contented smile lit his face!!!
