Abhimanyu pov continues
I carefully push the door open, revealing pitamahi sitting near the window with a happy but pained look on her face

"Pitamahi"

Pitamahi turns around immediately putting on a happy face

"Abhi! What brings you here? You should spend time with arjun, your meeting him after so long"

I sit infront of pitamahi

"Actually pitamahi, there's something important I need to talk to you about.."
I said nervously

Pitamahi caresses my hair

"Whats bothering you dear? You can always talk to me about it"
Pitamahi said with a reassuring smile on her face

"W-well remember the day we got the news that pitashree would be returning in a week.."

"Yes dear go on"
Pitamahi nods her head as a form of encouragement

"Actually that day, I was the one who was supposed to inform you about it,
But-But, when I was about to step in, I heard you crying so I was about to go in to console you, when I-I heard about angraj.

Dead silence

Pitamahi didn't even react at first, then after a few seconds as if registering what I said, she started to tear up with wide eyes and a shocked expression

"Piramahi please don't cry! I'm sorry"
I said frantically trying to console pitamahi who was practically sobbing by now

"S-so you found out? Thats why you've been avoiding me for the past few days." pitamahi cried

I tried my best to console pitamahi

After a while pitamahi finally stops

"Pitamahi, I met angraj.."

"What" pitamahi said astonished

"When?"

"During Uttara's swayamvar, he's like a father to uttara and came to bless us on our wedding"

"At least some family was there to bless you on your wedding"
Pitamahi said teary eyed chuckling

"Pitamahi, can you tell pitashree the truth?"
I asked cautiously

This time pitamhi looked helpless

"Forgive me for I can't putra"

"But why!?" I asked desperately

"There are many reasons abhi, you surely don't know about karna's birth do you"

"I do, mamashree told me everything"

Pitamahi sighed

"I can't, please try to understand abhi... I'm helpless" pitamahi stated sadly

Understand?!
I don't understand anything!?!? How can pitamahi watch her son die just to protect her pride?! I am so irritated, I want to shout! But seeing pitamahi's fragile state I decided against it

I sighed

"Ok pitamahi, I just wanted to inform you that kurushetra has been decided for the war and we will be leaving for kurushetra tomorrow morning, where we will.. I clench my jaws and fist
Where we will meet the hastinapur royal family and kakashree duryodhan before the war"

Pitamahi looks concerned but nods anyways

"And pitamahi, before leaving I just wanted to say, try and think everything through please, the truth doesn't cost anything but a lie could cost you everything"

"And don't wait to tell the truth or someone will eventually tell it for you, and not learning the truth from your loved ones is more painful than being lied to by a loved one"

"Pranipat pitamahi" I join my hands

"Ayushman bhava" pitamahi blesses me with a sad look, before I excuse myself to my chambers

Well that didn't work out, I say to myself before shaking my head with a disappointed look
