Chapter 66 66. Shiv Ansh (Part)



"Surya Dev, I will not ask the secret of Karna as it is a will of fate but I would ask if it was not you who interfered in the fate of Karna, Right? If you did tell me, I understand you as father did this there will be no punishment but if that is the case I have to fix it to get everything back on track."

Lord Shiva looked in the eyes of Surya as he asked the question in a neutral voice, Seeing him like this Surya Dev broke out in a cold sweat from the fear being started at by the Natraj form of lord Shiva, The one he took to destroy the whole existence.

He did not waste a second and held his hand together and bowed down in front of Lord Shiva. His both wives thought they did not know what was happening and also did the same as they were too confused to understand what was happening.

"Lord Shiva, I do love my son a lot. If I can I want to take all the danger that was going towards him on me but I also know my position as the Celestial being. I know what would happen if I tried to change the fate of my son. So I didn't interfere in his fate, I also don't know what was going on with him as I was too unable to see him with my divine vision, which is hurting me a lot."

Lord Shiva thought that it was because of Surya that these changes were happening, The reaction of Surya was also taken as an indication of it, But when he heard his words of his he was disappointed, happy and frustrated.

Disappointed because he could not find the reason for the cause of these changes, Happy for the fact that Surya Dev was not blinded by love and break the rule and frustrated because why he did not break the rule.

No one can punish him too severely because of how important his duty is to the world. The Vayu Dev (God Of Wind) also did it for his son, If Surya did it no one would mind and Karna would also get to have a proper life.

But Surya is too rigid around the rules and always tries to be as unbiased as possible, Which also indirectly becomes the end of Karna or becomes the end of Karna.

"O'Lord What are you talking about? What is going to happen to our son? Please don't let us be in the dark like this."

Adi Sankara wanted to say something but two concerned mothers voices echoed filled with anxiety asking them about the well-being of their child, Both Sandhya and Chhaya said in a sync looking to get an answer.

Their husband did not say any information about their son other than saying he was adopted by Devi Ganga and then given to the best mother, Which words quite offended them but other then that there was no information about their son.

Though it was not much time passed, For them it was just more than a day or two but still they asked him quite a lot but their Swami always found a reason to avoid telling them more about their son.

Now they understand why he was not telling them about their son after hearing the conversation with Chaos, Their son the divine born living as a child of charioteers, A Suta. It made their blood boil. They don't care about the caste as humans do but they clearly know their son was supposed to be born to Princess Kunti and become the prince.

Then how come he gets to a Suta family and why or how Devi Ganga adopted him? There were many questions but no one answered them.

"Sandhya, Chhaya you should not know about these things, I purposefully did not tell you this because of fear of you two doing something in your anger or love, It's not good for the well-being of the world."

Surya seeing there is no way he could avoid their question decided to come out but still not wanting to tell them at all, He dared not to tell them anything which happened to Karna.

These two are not only powerful goddesses but also very protective mothers, Which can be seen from the fact that Sandhya even dares to create an entirely new being just to take care of still-young children and Chhaya directly curses him even though she loved him infinitely just for the protection and rights of her son.

So he was very afraid of what the outcome might be if these two knew that Kunti had thrown Karna into the river or the fact that how much struggle he has to go through in life, He can see it with his divine vision or at least used to see it before it becomes blurry, The struggle of his son.

He does want to help him but the well-being of the world comes before his son. He knows and so he decided that all he could do is to watch taking this as a form of punishment but that too was taken away by fate.

"Swami but-"

"Stop, I know you are worried about him, I understand I too am his father, he is going to face lots of difficulties in his life but I make sure he will be alright. After all, I gave him the armour and earrings which my mother Aditi gave to me. 

He has the protection of that armour and earrings protection which were soaked in the Amrit (Nectar Of Immortality), Nothing can harm him as long as he has its protection, So don't worry."

His words were not enough to calm down mama bears. They wanted to ask more but Surya knew what the consequences would be of telling them to deny their request and then telling them a reason not to be worried.

He knows he might not be able to keep their concerns down but at least it would be enough to keep their emotions at ease. It would give him some time before he slowly let them adjust by slowly telling them.I think you should take a look at

"So, You did interfere with him Surya Dev, It's not good to lie."

The words were like Surya guessed were enough to put his wives at ease but before he breathed a sigh of relief thanking his luck they did not put much pressure on him, His Lord, Neelkanthi (The One Who's Throat Is Blue) asked him teasingly.

Hearing that Surya could not help but to feel a little embarrassed but he had to clear his side to prevent his lord from misunderstanding him.

"Lord, I said I did not interfere with the fate of my son, As a celestial being I know My duty but I also has duty as a father, I being the celestial being can't always be there to protect my mortal son, So gave him my armour, It would protect my son on my behalf.

I do love this world and will always put its well-being above everything but that doesn't mean I don't love my son, I will protect him as much as I can till it does not interfere with the well-being of this world."

Surya once again joined his hand and bowed before his lord as he explained his side. Yes, he does love this world more than anything, even his family but that does not mean he doesn't care about them.

It was the opposite, He is a king of all the planets and stars and so the citizens of the domain are his subject and as any good king knows, The subjects of their kingdom come first then anything else, That's what he is doing.

"You don't need to explain yourself Surya dev, I know the pain of a father, I am a father too, Even if I go all out and threaten to burn down the whole world, I would have understood.

I just hope these new changes in fate are for good. By the way, make sure Devraj did not get a sniff of this Vision or it would be very troublesome for your little one.

I now have to go as I too can't see the pain of my Ansh, Take care and be blessed."

Lord Shiva hearing the words of Surya had a very bright smile on his face. He understands there was no lack of love in Surya's heart but he can't express his love because of his responsibilities.

He unconsciously looked towards the north with a sad look in his eyes. There is a tiny part of him growing up, The one whose fate is going to be worse than a death and yet he can't do anything to change it.

What is worse is that he has the power to change it and yet he could not, The Niyati can be twisted, and bent but can't be changed. That's the rule even the Supreme like him has to follow.

Right now he sensed, The first hurdle that little part of his has to face, The first struggle and his first yearning for something which can't be fulfilled.

He knows he can't stay there and look at his pain or he would not be able to stop himself from changing fate, So he just blessed the trio and vanished out of thin air like he appeared before.

"Swami, It's okay if you didn't wanna tell us any information but can't we at least go meet him now? At least let us take a look at our son."

Surya dev was felled in thinking what is the meaning of the words of his lord, He felt there was some kinda meaning in his words but he just can't put his fingers at it.

However before he goes too deep into his thinking his two wives gathered around him and asked him but when he looked at their faces, He knew he can't afford to tell them to now, A wise man should always keep his wife happy.

"Okay but don't say or act something which would say he is our son, Make sure you would be careful of that or he has to face the effect of that curse."

Surya Dev did not deny them this request, He just warned them but hearing his words Chhaya lowered her head in guilt, Sandhya was the one who grabbed her hand to give her comfort as they flew down towards the Hastinapur palace.

(A/N : Now a new character appears, Any idea which one that would be?

Also, I am planning on going to watch the new Ramayana (Adi-pu). Is it worth it? 

Like always thank you for reading and have a good day ?.)
