Chapter 108 107. Mother Knows Best



Rahda kept staring at the work of art presented in front of her. She could not take her eyes away from that sari. There was a huge appreciation for the workmanship just birthed in her heart.

She is a very simple woman. She is happy even with the simple sari as long as it covers her body. She will be happy for it, She did not have want for anything more.

But for the first time she can't keep her eyes away from this materialistic thing, The woman in her can't resist the temptation in front of her.

She unconsciously rubs her hand over the sari and felt the intricate soil threads run into each other creating simple but attractive patterns, This seri is not too shiny or flamboyant.

It was quite simple, There were no flashy patterns or any expensive jewels or gems embedded in it, And yet it gave off a feeling of one of its kind, radiating its uniqueness all around.

Radha even has a feeling that this sari is specially made for her, All her liking and dislike were taken into consideration before creating this divine armament.

Yes, divine armament as calling this simple piece of cloth felt like an insult to this work, It's worthy to be called armament.

Karna looked at the lost Radha and felt satisfied, For an artist nothing is more precious than the praises his arts receive and for a son the satisfied smile of his mother is what matters.

He got both of them, Hence why he was also happy, And what to do when you are happy? You eat sweets.

So he sneakily reached out to the container of coconut barfi, His favourite sweet, The one he is forbidden to eat too much of.

*Slap*

"Ouch!! Mata! Why hit me?"

As always Radha didn't even lift her head up, She by instinct slapped the sneaky hand of Karna headed towards the container making it retract, While she still appreciated the sari.

"You have to eat before you can eat sweets, That too only one piece max or there will be worms in your stomach, Then don't come crying to me when it's starts to hurt."

Radha finally carefully put the sari aside and made Karna sit next to her as she said to him, Before she had a don't know that this is made by Meghana but after seeing this sari she knew it has to be her son who made it.

After all, If that little girl could make this level of sari, Radha was sure that girl would have sent it to her long before. After all, unlike her son, She is not blind to see the intention of those girls.

Until now, She has a small pile of stuff sent by them as a "gift". She has said many times not to do that but they don't listen, Radha doesn't have a problem with this action of bothering her as she also likes those girls except for one, Heera.

That little girl's family owns the shops related to the final rites stuff, And that girl was not so good in the head department, Because of this combination, She was sending the stuff related to final rites.

If not for knowing there is no ill intent behind her action, Radha scorched the earth for cursing her family like this as keeping those stuff in the house is considered a bad omen.

Of course, others are not simple either. One sends weapons, While the other sends various board games. The only "normal" one is Meghna.

"Mata, I said before, Eating sweets doesn't cause worms, It's just rot teeth."

Karna sat beside his mother and put up his counterargument. He knew this fact, Worms happen when you eat half-cooked meat or bad food, Sweets convey no direct connection with it.

He has had this argument with his mother many times. Even if sweets were causing worms, It would not apply to him as not only he is a demi-god but also has special physiques to prevent tiny things like those, His teeth can't rot.

But who can argue with a protective mother? Her answer to his argument always is-

"Who is Mother, am I or you? I know more about this, Also rotting teeth hurt more than worms in the stomach, So my argument still stands."

Radha, as expected given a universal answer by her mothers and shuts Karna off, She hurriedly arranges the plates and starts serving him food but she doesn't stop there.

She also washed her hands and seat facing him, After that she picked up food from the plate and started feeding him. She reasoned that according to tradition the kid will not mature until he joins the Gurukul (Hermitage).

So Karna, according to the standards still consider as a child, Hence why it's totally okay for her to feed him. Other mothers also do the same, Which was also true.

But for Karna, who was pretty much an adult in the body, it always felt weird to get fed like this. He even learned how to eat when he was 2 years old but he was still being fed by Radha because he is a child.I think you should take a look at

Though awkward, Kanra did not hate being treated like this, He can feel her love in each bite which is quite addictive, So he shut his mouth and enjoyed being fed like this in silence.

"Hum!? Do you also become hungry?! How you just ate- *Sigh* Forget it, Mata please also feed her."

While Karna was fed by Radha, The mischievous fox twitched her nose and quickly opened her eyes when she confirmed it was food, Who knows where all the things are going.

She just a while ago ate a full pot of Sanjeevani herbs, So much so that she can't even move. The medicinal quality of that herb will be enough for her to last a month or two without food.

And yet here she was becoming hungry again just after eating that much, Karna was now glad that he had gotten Akshaya Patra, If not he was not sure if he could feed her at all.

"Feed who!?..... Karna, how many times do I have to say that don't bring back wild animals at home? What if they bite you? They are wild animals."

Radha's hand which was about to feed Karna stopped in the air as she finally noticed the fox laying in the shoulders of Karna, Before its eyes were closed, So it looked like a, Which Radha also thought of it.

Knowing that it will be winter soon, She thought Meghna had given it to her son, But who knew, This was now a muffler at all, Her son once again brought back a wild animal home.

"Mata, When did I bring a wild animal home? That time Heera's Dog/Wolf followed me home, As for birds, You know all those birds follow around me, It's not my fault at all.

As for this cutie, I saved her, Then a new friend gave her to me to take care of her."

Karna quickly defended himself, He never brought back wild animals. Those animals follow him like he is a princess in a fairy tale, All because of his damn charm.

It's good that it helps him to get his way but charm also creates unnecessary problems. The last time he sneaked into the market, He become overnight famous, And now he can't sneak in there at all.

"You don't give her name yet, right?"

Radha continued feeding him, While also making an extra plate for the fox, After that she couldn't help but ask him curiously.

"No, But I will not let it go, I already accepted her."

Karna panicked, He hurriedly stood his ground. If it was another case he would consider keeping the words of his mother but not this time, He needs someone to master the magical arts.

"I never told you to let her go, I was just afraid you named her, I will feel very bad for her. What you said Cuite, right? We all know how horrendous your naming sense is."

Radha tried her best not to burst out laughing as she uttered these words on his face. It's well known that while Karna sometimes said some strange words but he has a very bad taste for naming.

For example, There was a dog in the area, suggests calling it Kalu (Blacky) because it was a black dog, So she was afraid her son might name this fox small White or something just because she has white fur.

Well it can be said that Mother knows best, She was 100℅ right about this thing.

"...."

Karna didn't say anything and just kept eating. Fox also didn't waste time, She jumped down, ate and was back on his shoulder in less than 5 seconds but because Radha's attention was on her son, she didn't pay much attention to it.

After eating Karna sat till Radha also ate and helped her with dishes and after everything was done, He was ready to go to sleep, Tomorrow is a big day.

"Karna, Don't sleep too late, Tomorrow guests are coming home, So be prepared before they come."

But as Karna was about to leave, Radha spoke from behind stopping him in his tracks.

(A/N : Who are going to be guest guys?

(Hint : Not Gandhari and Dhritarashtra.)

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