8th day of the war, Arjun and Uloopi's son iravan was killed by a demon named alambus.
Arjun and Abhimanyu was extremely sad at Abhimanyu's death. They were thinking how will they face Uloopi.
They went to their camp where all pandavpatnis and others were eagerly waiting.
Uloopi: Abhi! What happened? Where is your father and juesth?
Abhimanyu and Shrutkarma moved and Arjun kept Iravan's body on the ground. All were shocked.
Uloopi went to her son's dead body and kept his head on her lap.
Uloopi: Oh my son! At last, you left me!*cries*
All pandavas and their sons were looking down and silently shedding tears. Mohini; the wife of Iravan and female form of Krishna was also crying hugging her husband's body.
Yudhisthir: Bhagini Uloopi! Your son Iravan showed great valour today.
Subhadra went to her husband and sons.
Subhadra: Oh Partha! Oh Mahaveer Abhimanyu! Oh Draupadeyas! What you all were doing?
Arjun: Sorry Bhadrey, Uloopi and Panchali! Being a father, I couldn't save my own sin.
Draupadi: Who killed this valiant son of mine that you all were failed in front of him?
Abhimanyu: Demon Alambus! When we all were busy in fighting with other maharathis, he took bhrata Iravan another side using his illusionary power. Then he and his soldiers group attacked over bhrata Iravan but still couldn't defeat him. Then he used his illusionary power again and killed him unfairly.
Subhadra: Why my Iravan had to fight alone? With whom you all are fighting that you didn't realise also that evil kauravas planned to kill my eldest son.
Uloopi: Bhadrey! Don't blame them. It's not possible for them always to run in the midst to save their sons or brothers. Let them protect dharm and to win something, we have to lose something. I am happy that my son will always be remembered as a valiant warrior and he didn't taint mine or Dhananjaya's name by running.
Arjun kissed his forehead for the last time and tears were falling from his eyes. The son who deserved to be loved by him most couldn't get father's love because of the cruel game of destiny. And when he came, his last time also came.
With the burning body of Iravan, Arjun was burning in grief inside. After getting Gita gyan, maybe he left every kinds of ambitions but how can he resist his fatherhood?
He heard Shrutkarma saying that Ulupi is leaving their camp. Arjun and Abhimanyu ran there to stop Uloopi.
Abhimanyu: Where are you going majhli mata?
Uloopi: To my own kingdom. What will I do staying here?
Abhimanyu: Mata; ain't we your sons?
Ulupi caressed his cheeks and started walking.
Arjun: Please don't go, Nilakshi. Everyone needs you here.
Uloopi stopped hearing him and looked at his eyes. His pain was not less than her but still controlling himself.
Abhimanyu: Stay here na, mata. We got you after so many years. Otherwise, maybe when will you come, maybe I won't be there to serve you.
Ulupi: My son; never say this again. I am shivering also thinking that something will happen to my other sons.
Arjun: My son, please don't give more pain to your parents saying all this.
Abhimanyu nodded and hugged them tightly. Maybe it was needed both of them. They were still in grief but his arms were giving them peace for sometimes.
It was the 12th day of war. At evening, everyone returned. Suddenly, Subhadra noticed that Abhimanyu cut off his hand.
Subhadra: Abhi.....
Subhadra bandaged his hand with a piece of her saree. Abhimanyu was smiling looking at his mother.
Subhadra: How this happened?*tensed*
Arjun: Putra!I heard you fought with angraj today with great valour. Everyone is praising ur valour. Even our enemies also.
Abhimanyu: Yeah pitashree and that time a arrow pierced me.
Subhadra: What would happen if something happened to u?*tensed
Abhimanyu: Mata, it's nothing. What will you do when my lifeless body will come here....
Subhadra: Putra....*shouts*
Draupadi:Please don't say this my son. If something will happen to my sons how will we survive?
Arjun: Yes putra. I still didn't forget that day when I had to carry my Iravan's dead body in my shoulder. I can't do that again.
Subhadra was crying hearing these words. Abhimanyu kept his palm and told that he will die if she will she tears like this.
Abhimanyu: And mata if I won't fight then how I would hear praising from everyone?*mischievously smiles*
Subhadra smiled.
Arjun: Putra, me, panchali, Subhadra, ur other mothers and fathers always praise about u. Even during sleeping also, I feel proud over u.
Draupadi: Putra! Maybe you are tired. You should take rest.
Subhadra: Yes putra. Uttara is waiting for u.
Abhimanyu went inside and Uttara was waiting for him.
Uttara: Arya! Are you okay? I heard today u faced angraj.
Abhimanyu: Yes I am okay.
Uttara: What happened to ur hand?
Abhimanyu: Nothing. You shouldn't scare so much seeing these small things.
Uttara: I am not like u arya.
Abhimanyu: What will you do when I will die?
Uttara kept her fingers over his lips.
Uttara: Arya! Please don't say this. *cries*
Abhimanyu: Don't worry I am not going to leave u so early. I am always with you in any form.
Abhimanyu and Uttara hugged each other.
Uttara kept his hand over her stomach.
Abhimanyu: Hey son! Please don't disturb ur mother now. Come soon. We will annoy ur mother together.
On the other side,
Subhadra was sitting and she was tensed. At that time, Arjun came.
Arjun: Bhadrey....
Subhadra stood.
Subhadra: Arya! I don't know but I am feeling something is going to happen.
Arjun: Nothing will happen Bhadrey. Don't think so much. And I am there to protect our Abhimanyu. Even my brothers are also there.
Subhadra: I know arya u will protect our son.
At that time,
Abhimanyu and Uttara came there.
Subhadra: U both are here? Everything okay?
Abhimanyu: Can't we come here mata?
Arjun: Yeah u can come here anytime.
Abhimanyu: We were not feeling sleepy. That's why we came here.
Subhadra: Then come here and sleeping in my lap.
Abhimanyu: Yayyy! It's long time that I slept at ur lap.
Arjun and subhadra chuckled. Uttara laid at arjun's lap and Abhimanyu laid at Subhadra's lap.
Abhimanyu: Mata! Please sing na. I want to hear ur sweet voice.
Subhadra smiled and caressed Abhimanyu's head.
Subhadra:
Surya Dev So Gaye Chhaya Andhera
Chup Chaap Ye Gagan So Gayi Hain Dhara
Tu Bhi So Jaa Laal Mere
Kehana Na Maa Ka Tu Taal Re
So Jaa Mere Laal Re
So Jaa Mere Laal Re
Humm…Humm..Laa Laa
Tum Jigar Ka Mere Tukda Hai
Mere Naino Ka Hai Tu Taara
Meri Bhul Kshama Kar Laal Mere
Mera Praam Tu Mera Dulaara
Godi Mein Le Mamta Tadpe
Maa Bebas Hai Lachaar Hai
So Jaa Mere Laal Re
So Jaa Mere Laal Re
Surya Dev So Gaye Chhaya Andhera
Chup Chaap Ye Gagan So Gayi Hain Dhara
So Jaa Mere Laal Re
So Jaa Mere Laal Re.
Subhadra looked at Abhimanyu and Uttara and both of them slept. Even Arjun also slept hearing her sweet voice. Subhadra caressed Abhimanyu and Uttara's head and kissed their forehead. Then Subhadra also decided to sleep declining her thoughts.
But who knows what is awaiting for them? What the new sun will bring from them? Maybe destiny wrote something which will change everything.
