Karna's POV :
I rushed to my old house and as soon as I arrived,I found Radha ma cooking something.
She did not notice me yet.So I calmed myself first and then called her.
"Radha ma,I have returned.Did you miss me?"
She just paused after listening to my voice and took a moment to turn around and see me clearly.
"Karna...Putra..."
She came running towards me and hugged me tightly.
No...that sly Arjun was clearly lying and messing with me.How can such motherly love be faked.
And then I just remembered how I felt, when mata...Rajmata Kunti hugged me.It was the same motherly love.
How could she fake such love as well...?Was Arjun actually telling the truth?
'No!what I am thinking about?'
"How dare you ask if I missed you or not?You are the one who has now become a king.You forgot about your old parents."
Radha ma's words broke my deep thoughts.
"You know mata that I will not forget you till death."
"Don't say that!I dare you to say that once more infront of me.Trust me the consequences will not be good son."
She threatened me.I laughed lightly.
"Mata, why do I get the smell of my favorite food?Are you making kheer(a sweet dish,made with milk and rice)by any chance?"
I tried to change the topic.
"Yes son.I don't know why but I had a feeling that you would be coming today.See,a mother's instincts can never be wrong."
She said very proudly and made me smile once more.Just then,pitashree also entered the house.
I touched his feet and took his blessings.
"Putra,it's good to see how far you have come.But please obey my one request.Don't get yourself into political stuffs too much.It will either make you or ruin you."
Pitashree said and I just remembered the cruel plan of Shakuni.But after returning home after a long while,I did not really want to talk about this.
So I tried to change the topic once again.Little did I know that I was going to mess up real big this time...
"Okay pitashree,I will remember that.But did you know about mother's magical power?She just knew that I would be coming today and made my favorite kheer.
It must be a biological thing,right mata?It must be blood attachment."
The smile on her face dropped just like that,after listening to my statement.
Tears started forming in her eyes slowly.My father just looked down,instead of looking straight into my eyes.
I stood there in horror.I had a bad feeling that I knew the reason behind these tears and this sudden silence.
I have never really talked about this.
I mean,why would a child suspect automatically that their parents are not their own.
And I just know that no matter what my parents would never lie about anything.
"Mata...why these tears?Are you hiding something from me?"
"No...no reason son.What can I hide from you?"
"Mata...am I your biological son...?"
Silence...My heart broke to ask such a question.But I must know the truth.
"Why...why son?Why does that matter?I may not be your biological mother,but why does matter?Which cruel person told you about this?Is the person even a real human being?"
I started distancing myself from them slowly.I felt betrayed after all of these years.
"Putra..."
I avoided her and looked at my father for clarification.
He sighed and described how they found me in a basket filled with flowers.They took it as a sign from the God,because they were still childless.Thus they decided to raise me up.
The smell of burnt kheer was filling the whole house.The three of us were standing in silence.I then suddenly ran out of my house.
"PUTRA...WAIT.PUTRA..."
Radha ma's shouting could be heared distinctly.But I have something very important to do right now.
Mata Kunti...
"YOU BETTER REVEAL THE TRUTH AND GIVE ME A VALID REASON BEHIND THIS MATA.I AM COMING."
