NOVEL NEXT Chapter 89 89. Knowledgeable But All Knowing
"*Ahem* Sage, As I said, My Mata (Mother) should be worried about me, I did not go home since last night, so I can't stay here any longer."
Karna stopped in his running pose and mechanically turned his head towards the Durvasa with a wary smile on his face.
He wanted to run away from here, Each part of his body yelling at him to run and don't look back. An ominous feeling arose in his heart as he looked at the smiling Durvasa who appeared in front of him in an instant.
So Karna right now had to stop even if he didn't want to, There is no way he can able to walk past the Durvasa, The aura of Durvasa was already locked on him, Even if he was somehow able to run past him, It would not need second for Durvasa to once again apparel front of him.
This is a privilege sage like him has. They can move freely in the mortal realm and can go anywhere, Even in a place like a Murtuloka (Domain Of Death), Where only the deceased can enter though with restrictions.
"Your Mata had waited for you all night, She can wait for a few more moments. I just want answers of a few questions, After which you are free to go home."
Durvasa was not a little bit of angry at Karna, He had the same wide smile on his face as he looked at Karna with appreciation in his eyes, No one can say that this man who right now standing in front of Karna is same revered and infamous Rishi Durvasa, Who is known for his anger.
"Am I hallucinating? Or am I in some kinda Maya (Illusion)?"
Surya opened his mouth so much that it could fit a bird's egg in it, He rubbed his eyes refusing to believe he was looking at the same man who one time cursed all the Devas and Trimurti in anger.
The same man is the reason why most of the things happen here in these mortal words. This man even cursed some like Devi (Goddess) Ganga, There is no way this man could smile like that but here it was, He was seeing the impossible happening in front of him.
But he did not want to believe his eyes, He was definitely in some kinda illusion. Maybe he was still dealing with chaos and escaping it was making him hallucinate.
"No you are not Arya, This is no illusion, I personally check it."
Devi Chhaya suddenly whispered to Surya Deva, Even she could not believe her eyes. She also came to the same conclusion as Surya and decided to check it out but as she did she confirmed that it is not an illusion but reality.
But this reality is even more bizarre than fantasy that's for sure. If those Deva see Rishi Durvasa among like this, They might pass out in shock.
"What kinda questions? You are great Rishi if you don't know the answer to the questions then how could you expect a 7-year child like me to answer them? I am honoured that you think so highly of me but I am not that knowledgeable or smart, Please give me permission to leave."
Karna wanted to cry, What crime had he committed that he was being targeted by a man like Durvasa? He rather dealt with those blue guys he heard about in his past like him.
After all, those blue guys are strong but they do not go around cursing someone just because they looked at them wrongly, Though it's a slight exaggeration but it is also not far from the actual fact.
Some people get cursed just because they did not greet him, So yeah Karna didn't want to be around someone who is a ticking bomb. He had a hunch what this Sage wanted to ask him but that is what scares him even more of thinking of that possibility.
He before did not take the fear of others seriously as his first impression of Durvasa was not that bad but now when he saw not easy to anger this man he understood how wrong he was, So he just wants to be away from here.
Not because of anything else other than he doesn't trust Niyati not to pull some stunt that tries to make things go back on track, Duryodhana nearly fell victim to it just now.
Though he was able to prevent it but in the process he put himself on the target. There is a high chance that the curse he should have gotten in future might in his original fate will be given to him to keep the original fate of others intact.
"I am so knowledgeable but not all-knowing Putra, There are things that even I don't know. There is no shame in admitting that and likewise, there is no shame in asking questions, So I expect you to answer them."
Durvasa was not angry when Karna tried to avoid his questioning, He was just looking at Karna as if he just found the precious gem and did not want to lose it at all.
There was a spark in those wisdom-filled eyes of Durvasa, As he looked at Karna, To be fair the current emotional state of Durvasa is the same as the emotional state of Surya and others.
He never thought that he who comes here to bless the child with the full body of Vajra (Diamond) found the boy blessed by Chaos. Yes, he can see it while others aren't able to, All that's to the luck of Karna.
He was also able to see lots of things, but all those were overshadowed by the charm of Karna. It is a supreme charm after all, Even if Durvasa is a Rishi who has given up on worldly desire, This charm is still able to enchant him.
'He is no normal child, He is definitely divine, So much so that even I can't see through his identity.'
Durvasa thinks to himself as he looks at Karna deciding on his own for something that changed the fate of Karna and others.
