Its the 13th and the most unfortunate day of battle. Arjun had gone for Virat as they heard that Maharaj Susharma of Trigart with his army was going to attack Virat Nagar.

Sagarika with Draupadi and Uttara were taking a stroll across the camp to see if everything is alright and they found something which frightened them to the core.

"Jiji this is Abhimanyu's amulet of protection." Sagarika said picking it up. Draupadi’s eyes widened seeing it and Uttara fainted due to panic.

"UTTARA !!" Draupadi screamed holding her.

"DASI CALL THE VAID !!" Sagarika ordered as she and Draupadi took her to the tent.

The vaid soon came and checked her, he smiled when he came to know the reason why she fainted.

"Vaid ji is she alright ?" Draupadi asked.

"Samragyi and Senapti-Bharya congratulations, there is a ray of joy in amidst the sorrows." The vaid said.

"What do you mean ?" Sagarika asked.

"Rajkumari Uttara is pregnant !" The vaid said, Draupadi and Sagarika smiled widely.

"Sagarika our Uttara is pregnant !" Draupadi exclaimed.

"Abhimanyu would be so happy !" Sagarika exclaimed.

"Here you go Vaid ji !" Sagarika said giving him a necklace which was around her neck.

"Senapti-Bharya is generous." The vaid said and left.

Its evening time and Sagarika was waiting for Abhimanyu to return so she could give him the good news. For some reason she was feeling very nervous and anxious today as Abhimanyu's amulet of protection fell off his hand today.

"Choti Maa..." Abhimanyu called, Sagarika turned around surprised. She didn't heard him coming.

"Abhimanyu ! Good thing you are here !" Sagarika said.

"I came here specially to meet you and to tell you how great I fought today." Abhimamyu said.

"I too have something to tell you !" Sagarika said.

"What is it Maa ?" Abhimanyu asked.

"Uttara is pregnant ! You're going to be a father !" Sagarika exclaimed happily.

For some reason Abhimanyu's face fell sad, Sagarika noticed that and got confused.

"What happened putra ? Are you not happy ?" Sagarika asked.

"No maa I am happy, Uttara will have a great story to tell him about today." Abhimanyu said putting a smile on his face.

"Your life is filled with great tales to tell. Why today ?" Sagarika asked.

"You know today I fought with Kul-guru Kripacharya, Guru Dronacharya, Tatshree Duryodhan, Tatshree Dushashan, Guru-putra Ashwathama, Gandhar-raj Shakuni and Angraj Karna." Abhimanyu said.

"You fought with them alone ?" Sagarika asked impressed.

"Yes, so many great warriors were standing in front of me but I was not afraid even for a moment. You will be proud to know that I didn't let go of my weapon till sunset." Abhimanyu said.

"Wonderful putra wonderful." Sagarika said smiling.

"Even the last drop of blood flowed out of my body but I kept fighting Choti Maa." Abhimanyu said. Sagarika frowned.

"What are you saying putra ?" Sagarika asked.

"Yes Choti Maa, you will be proud of your putra." Abhimanyu said as his legs trembled, he was about to fall but Sagarika held his shoulders making him stand still.

"The sun for a moment was overshadowed from my arrows, I could see the fear of death in Tatshree Duryodhan's eyes." Abhimanyu said, Sagarika looked at him worriedly as she saw blood coming out of his chest.

"My weapons fell but I did not let go of courage. The arrows which I shot before my bow fell injured all the Maharathis." Abhimanyu said as blood came out of his mouth, Sagarika looked at him with teared eyes.

"Why...why are you bleeding so much ? Let's go to the medical tent putra, Nakul and Sehdev will treat you well." Sagarika said but as she tried to take him out he fell. Sagarika held him and placed him on her lap.

"Choti Maa, today I have conquered the entire battlefield. Tell my father I did not let his name be dishonored. Tell Jyesht Mata even when I was dying I was undefeated." Abhimanyu said.

"Putra..." Sagarika sobbed holding him.

"Choti Maa...now I will meet Saatvik and Sahana." Abhimanyu said.

Sagarika embraced him as tears fell from her eyes. She then looked at him he gave one last smile and closed his eyes.

Sagarika cried hugging him and when she opened her eyes she realized he was not in her embrace, she looked around and realized her clothes were not bloodstained anymore.

"Abhimanyu...Abhimanyu ! ABHIMANYU !!" Sagarika called.

Sagarika hurriedly got up and went outside the tent only to find Subhadra and Uttara weeping over Abhimanyu's dead body.
