Chapter 149 147. 2 + 2 = 5

Chapter 149 147. 2 + 2 = 5

Both boys look at each other trying to make sense of the situation they are currently in.

They tried to make sense of all this, As it is not a mere coincidence that both somehow found each other and had get the blessing of the events others pray, work and still not be able to achieve.

Ashwatthama was most thinking about this as how he got the common point between him and Eklavaya but other than solving his conundrum it became even more complicated.

Eklavya on others only needed a few seconds to think about it before his eyes has sparks as the hamster in his brain ran at full speed to create the bizarre reason he was ready to connect these two events.

"....Well, So you also know Karna, Huh."

Ashwathama did not know what to said so he tried to make an awkward talk. Before he might have passed out from the tensions here but thanks to the "training" in his inner space, he had his emotions in control.

His heart is already telling him that Karna is related to this, His enlightenment and the Eklvaya's epiphany have to do with Karna, His heart has this very very strong feeling making him scared as to how strong the hunch he was getting.

But his mind did not want to admit that a boy around his age is able to do this. Even his father who is learned in the text and holds knowledge of the divine is not able to achieve these things on his own.

Both enlightenment and epiphany come from within the being, No outside force other than luck can affect it, That is the reason why only a fraction of fraction able tachieveet this dream of many.

"Hum, I know him because he is my Guru and I am now convinced he is really an avatar of god, Now I get why he dragged me here. It was all his plan from the start."

And so the hamster did its job and Eklvaya spoke up the connection he just joined with the sheer power of hunch and the devotion towards the Guru, the boy he holds so sacred now.

" How foolish I was not to see this at all. It was all in front of me. Guru Dev said he would give me the best bow and here it was, I was holding the spirit weapon. The best type is not only in bow but the weapon there is.

It was all his plan, Maybe falling unconscious is also part of his plan, It has to be, right? He definitely wanted to test my patients and obedience, See if I followed his orders or not in situations like that.

And I passed, That is why I get this, If I ignored the words of, I would never have gotten this bow, It was done by him."

Eklavya go on talking more and more, As he spoke the voice of his increased with each line as the confidence of his in this hypothesis also grew with it, He was now certain this is what exactly happened here.

His Guru did this to test him, and he passed. He was more happy in the fact that he passed the test than to get the bow that has its own spirit known as the legendary grade spirit weapon.

Ashwatthama just looked at Eklavya speechlessly as he had no words to speak of, Because he too on some level believed Eklavya, Yeah he knows it is impossible for anyone to do so but when it came to Karna he was not sure.

Yesterday he saw how Karna not even defied death but even bestow the blessing on that poor pupp- Fox that she evolved into higher life form, He saw it with his own eyes the impossible happening right in front of him.

Compared to pulling out the Sanjivani herb out of nowhere and that too in the quantity that make other big Kingdoms like Hastinapur feel inferior in front of it.

So he was pretty sure Karna was not a normal person, The overfilled charm of his was dead give away and he also saw Karna do things out of ordinary and yet he still could not believe it has anything to do with Karna against the hunch of his heart.

Because he knows this happens because the gem on his forehead malfunction, Though before this he never know that gem can malfunction but it's easier to accept that the gem that he got from Rudra malfunctioned than to accept that someone can be so broken to grant things like enlightenment and epiphany.

"You don't believe this happened because of my Guru Karna, right? Let me ask you, did he meet you normally or when you lost all hope and needed help?"

Eklavya after he finished the praises of Karna looked at Ashwatthama and found out that he having a hard time believing Eklavya once again started to think and in a matter of moment he made up the reason that in his mind was definitely responsible for that behind all this Karna is responsible for it.

And so the overworked hamster once again started his job as Eklavya once again started to think and in a matter of moment he made up the reason that in his mind was definitely responsible for Ashwatthama coming to this scene.

But to do that, All he wants is the cause behind how Karna met Ashwatthama to further improve his hypothesis.

Because when he met Karna, He was on his last legs, lost hope and just going through life. He even dared to commit crimes like stealing, Thought it was some fallen fruits but they did not belong to him and so it is in his eyes still a stealing.

At that moment of time Karna lent forward helping hand, He knew exactly what he wanted and gave him that, Which gained Karna a place in Eklavya's heart which was bigger than their brother no less than their mother.

Karna also helped the Kurvasa and supported them when others did not, He saw how protective Karna was towards them. He even tricked and took the risk of offending a wise man like Vidur for them.

So he thinks Ashwatthama could also have the case, As he now starts to think that Karna mostly goes to the people who do not have anyone else to turn to, As an avatar of a god he definitely should have the power to sense those things, Or as he thinks so at least.

"....A small fox cub was injured because of my negligence. The Medic said she would not survive, I was crying in the shade of a tree last night when I met Karna. He came to me and asked why I was crying and I told him."

Ashwatthama was taken aback by this question out of the blue but then it clicked for him, He hesitantly answered as he too started to put 2 and 2 together and started to come up with 5, Just like Eklavya.

After he answered even Ashwatthama's firm belief that others can't grant magical and divine things like enlightenment and epiphany as they come from the inner beings.

"After which, what did my Gurudev do?"

Eklavya patiently waited for him to finish as he could see Ashwatthama was starting to believe it, So he just steered towards the direction of "truth" letting Ashwatthama figure it out on his own as it would be easier to believe then to someone spoon-feeding him.

"He cured that fox club, Not only that he even made that fox evolve, You should have seen the view. It was gorgeous, it was as if stars themselves came down on the earth on his will...Oh My...

He will start to fall on the earth and they did. If my friend can do that then he definitely can do this, right?"

Ashwatthama answered Eklavya and while speaking came realisation, Last night the stars itself came down on this mortal plane, He in the shock of seeing puppy survive totally ignored it.

Karna commanded the force in the universe that is so mysterious and unpredictable that even his father can't take a glimpse of their power, The power of stars

And yet Karna causally made them fall on the earth just to give life to the cub of a fox, Karna used the power of stars to give life to a fox cub!!!

Ashwatthama could not imagine if his father would either beat Karna to death or cry tears of blood, Or do both knowing the fact.

"Now do you get it? It was all pre-planned. From I running into him yesterday to you encountering him, Which led to today's event. He planned all that. We were too ignorant to notice it."

Eklavya, seeing Ashwatthama finally agreed with his "half-truth" , came to him and patted him on his back.

And of course, Eklavya was jealous of Ashwatthama seeing that gorgeous view with Karna. He too wanted to be there, But he let it go and felt happy because Ashwatthama is a friend of Karna.

Ashwatthama goes through similar stuff, But his focus is on being to go to Karna and thank him and so both of them stand under the tree waiting for Karna to come back.
