I Become Karna With a Million Times Crit System In Mahabharata.
Chapter 74 74. Helpless MotherKrip was searching desperately for anything that can be used as a milk substitute in pretty much all empty containers in the kitchen. In her mind the first thing was that she could use rice to make something similar to milk.
But to her dismay, There was not even a grain of rice in these containers, This broke her spirit down. She felt like a burst of crying out of fear of her son hearing it or seeing her like that prevented her from doing so.
She just cursed the Niyati (Fate) on why she wanted to play with her like this? Isn't she already given enough pain and troubles to woman and wife in her that now it even decided to give suffering to mother in her?
Kripi married to her husband Drona the son of Sage Bharadvaja because of the decision of her twin brother Kripa, Who now became the royal teacher of Hastinapur and is known as Kripacharya (Acharya means teacher).
She knew what she was getting into as though Drona is a very powerful and well-skilled man but he is very poor. Drona didn't want to be in anyone's debt so he didn't go around the kings to take a job as a royal instructor or teacher.
As a Bhraman surviving on the alms of others, She did not feel anything wrong in that as a Bhraman's duty was not to use their knowledge for themselves but to the enlightenment of others, Which can't be done if you are teaching to repay the debt.
So she married him and started to help him around, Though time was rough for her because of living conditions but her husband did love her and for her at that new blossom age, That love was enough.
After that she had a desire for a son, She wanted a child of her own to shower in her love and when she said this desire of hers to her Arya, He said he would take care of it and be gone for a few days.
She was worried about him but she knew how strong her Arya was so her heart was not that concerned. After a few days she thought her husband would come back with good news.
She just wanted to be a mother but her husband said he had gotten a boon from the Destroyer himself that his part would be born to them as their son, Hearing that Kripi would not be able to contain her job and just waiting for that auspicious day.
It did not take her long to be pregnant and give birth to the very divine boy with a Mani on his forehead. There was an Akashvani (Oracle) that said her son is unslayable and even her husband confirmed their son is immortal.
She was happiest women in the world at that time, After which mother jot want her son to be safe and live long? But then as days, months and years passed she felt like she should never have children.
It's a cruel thing to say but she really wished for it, Not because her son was bad or evil, He is not, on the contrary, he is a very good and mature boy for his age, He has not even once given her any trouble or made her feel any less of the mother.
He is her Ahem (ego), Her pride but that is the reason it hurt her that she can't provide for him at all, He is part of supreme and yet had to live like this, There are days when he only gets to eat only a few bites of food and sometimes that too not get to eat, There are many nights she saw him sleeping empty stomach but not even once does he complain but just happily accepted what it was given to him.
He always has a faint smile on his face as if he didn't care but as a mother, she can feel he was hurting, She can experience his pain which he hides deep in his heart but she is helpless, All she can do is watch try to do her best to console him which she knew it is not enough but this all she can do it.
"There is nothing, Why is there nothing?"
Kripi gave up, She searched everything but there is nothing that can be used as milk, Not rice even if she has gotten wheat she is somehow able to create a substitute for the milk but even that too is not present in her household.
She felt like a worthless mother. She couldn't even provide the one thing her son asked her for the first time. That too is as simple as just taste a milk, A common thing his peers get to drink daily.
"O'Lord, Please help me, I don't want to disappoint him even for this simple request, Give me anything, anything I can use to just to fulfil my son's first request from me *Sob*."
All Kripi should do was to pray, She really didn't want to disappoint her Drauni (Son of Drona and Kripi), So when all doors were closed she prayed for the widow from the divine.
Maybe her Karma acted or Her maternal love moved the world or made Niyati kneel in front of it or It might be her lord himself decided to intervene or maybe because of certain someone had the luck to even change the Niyati for his benefit. A change appeared in the story here.
"Sister, Are you not going to entertain me, your dear brother?"
A voice broke the thoughts of Kripi, Who was thinking of something strange as she was desperately looking at the little amount of flour left in the house with hesitation but before she could do anything that voice pulled her from her thoughts.
