A few days passed after my birth.
Even though my body was that of a newborn, my mind was still the same twenty-eight-year-old.
Every day I observed my surroundings carefully.
My father, Arjuna, was exactly as legends described—brave, confident, and extremely handsome. b
My mother, Subhadra, was gentle and loving. She always held me close and spoke to me softly.
One afternoon, a servant hurried into the room and bowed.
"My lady, your brother has arrived."
mom's face (Subhadra) instantly brightened.
"My brother? He came already?"
Before I could think further, a calm voice spoke from the doorway.
"sister, it has been a long time."
The moment I heard that voice, my mind froze.
A tall man walked into the room wearing yellow silk clothes. His expression was calm, and a mysterious smile rested on his lips.
The atmosphere around him felt peaceful and powerful at the same time.
It was god Krishna.
The legendary Krishna of the Mahabharata.
Which also meant…
He also my Mama now.( In India, a mother's brother is commonly called "Mama.")
Krishna smiled warmly.
"So this is my nephew?"
Subhadra laughed happily and gently lifted me.
"Yes, brother. Look at him."
Krishna stepped closer and carefully looked at my face.
His eyes were deep and strangely calm.
For a moment, it felt like he was looking straight into my soul.
My heart started racing.
No way…
Can he see through me?
I quickly looked away like a normal baby.
Krishna suddenly laughed softly.
"This child is very quiet."
Arjuna crossed his arms proudly.
"He will grow up to be a great warrior."
Krishna nodded slightly.
"Yes… he certainly will."
Then Krishna gently tapped my tiny nose.
"Well, little nephew," he said playfully, "will you greet your Mama?"
My baby body moved before I could stop it.
My tiny hand grabbed Krishna's finger.
Everyone in the room laughed happily.
Subhadra smiled warmly.
"Look! He likes you."
Krishna chuckled.
"Of course he does."
Then he looked at me again.
For a brief moment, his eyes became serious.
But just as quickly, his usual gentle smile returned.
Inside my mind, I sighed with relief.
Good…
Maybe he doesn't know anything about my past life.
Krishna gently patted my head.
"This child will have a very interesting destiny."
Arjuna raised an eyebrow.
"Interesting?"
Krishna only smiled mysteriously.
"Yes… very interesting."
Meanwhile, inside my mind, I made a silent promise.
This time…
I will not die inside the Chakravyuha.
