Chapter 20 - 20. Manipulation

Third person's POV :

Duryodhana could not stop thinking about Karna's relation with his sworn enemies at any cost.

He actually saw Karna as his true best friend.He was always proud of Karna's powers.He always talked about Karna being 'more powerful' than Arjuna.

It's true that he approached him with the intention of defeating Arjun,but he actually started considering him as his true friend.

Karna also always stood up for Duryodhana.He was ready to sacrifice himself,for his best friend and Duryodhana knew that.

So Duryodhana did not like the idea of Karna being the eldest Pandava at all.

He was disturbed.He was scared that Karna might change his side.

'Will he fight for the Pandavas now?'-is all he could think about.

He did not really mind that Karna was the actual successor of the throne.He was rather happy with that.

But he was not ready to see his best friend being friendly towards those 'filthy','worthless' Pandavas.

So when Shakuni repeated his idea of Varnavata,suddenly Duryodhana liked it very much...

Shakuni also told him to convince Karna to help them out.And he had a great plan to execute this cruel task perfectly.

Duryodhana's POV:

I got informed by a servant that Karna returned to Hastinapur and wished to meet me and discuss some things.

Mama Shakuni and bhrata Sushasana was also in my chamber.

I knew very well,what mitra Karna wanted to talk about.

Mama Shakuni told me that he would handle the situation.

Just then,mitra entered my room.

He looked... disturbed and somewhat angry for some reason.

"What happened mitra?You look very angry for some reason."

Mitra Karna seemed to think for a moment,before opening up.

He described about the whole situation and he was definitely angry at his shameless and spineless mother.

I was happy that he did not like being the eldest brother of those pandavas at all.

"Now calm down child.I feel extremely sorry for you right now.Rajmata only cares about her 5 son.She dared to hide such a big truth and now she dares to tell you to stop fighting Arjun!

You should not forgive her at any cost,my child.She was lying.She was so scared that she used Arjun to reveal everything to you.

I think that she still did not want to reveal anything.But she did it to protect that spineless Arjun and her other sons.

Don't forget that she caused pain to both you and your parents.She is too sly.

Arjun tried to mess you up.But you should not get trapped in his filthy plan,my child."-Mama Shakuni said.

Karna agreed with mamashree for the first time.

"Get revenge,my child.Help us spend her 5 sons to Varnavat.Give her back the same pain,she caused you since you were born.

If she had not floated you,you would not be known as a Sutputra.You were insulted on the day of Kalapradarshan,just because of her."-mamashree continued.

I know very well that Karna does not mind being a Sutputra.But he cares about his self respect a lot.

And it's not a unknown fact to me that he is very sensitive about the incident of Kalapradarshan till this day.

So I used that to provoke him some more.

"Mitra Karna,help us.They deserve to be killed like that.Sly people like them, are not actual warriors.

They don't deserve to die in a battlefield.Their souls should not get peace at any cost."

Karna's POV :

My head was spinning.I knew that Gandharraj was trying to manipulate me .He was forcing me to take impulsive decisions.

And my ego and hatred finally won against my morals.

And I decided to help them out.

"Okay...I will help you Suyodhana.But how can I convince them?"

"Arjun is the only other one,who knows the truth,right?Then go talk to him.

Act all friendly and convince him to go to Varnavat with his other 4 brothers.

But tell him to keep your identity a secret for now.

Can you do that?"-Gandharraj said.

I nodded my head like I was under some spell.

Suryodhana and Sushasana was happy.But I was conflicted.

'Is it really the best decision?'

I had asked myself.But my head refused to give me a answer.I was too stressed...

Now I was going to meet Arjuna,that sly enemy of mine.

Today is surely very entertaining to say the less...
