Dining Hall of Royal palace  of Kamboj

a Royal supper had been arranged in Royal Palace in the honor of Digvijay , Chandragupt and their brave friends..King and Queen were on the center..Digvijay was sitting on King's right side and Shreemati was sitting on queen's left side..Chandragupt was sitting beside Digvijay..Shashank was beside him..Dakshita was sitting beside Shreemati..Airavat's father and Subahi shreshthi were sitting opposide of king Abhisar..Airavat was sitting beside his father..Aditya was also sitting with his parents..Sukant and Ghanghor were beside Shashank , Akshay was beside Dakshita..other guests and members of royal family and palace were also present there..
  the entire royal supper was arranged in Durdhara's supervision..so she was in the charge of serving..Subhadra , Sumitra ,Maya ,Chitra were helping her also Ketki had joined in serving...
 
Abhisar : Digvijay humne Sikandar se mitrata to kar liya kintu humein bhai hai iske karan Panchnad k mitrata se banchit na hona pade...

Digvijay : pitashree ye bhai humein bhi hai..kintu us samay Abhisar ko raksha karne k liye Chandragupt aur humare nikat aur koi marg bhi to nhi tha

Chandragupt : humne acharya ko suchna preran kar chuke hai Sikandar aur humare bhet k..unke uttar ane k paschad hi hum panchnad k vishay mein Abhisar k uchit nirnay pr alokpat kar payenge..

Abhisar : Sikandar k ek kshatrap bhi to humare rajya mein niyukt honewala hai na? to kya Kamboj apna swatantrya rakh payenge..??

Digvijay : Sikandar swayam humein Kamboj k shashak niyukt kar chuke hai..humen nhi lagta koi bhi kshatrap unke nirnay k virodhita karenge..aur kshatrap k ane mein abhi vilamb hai..uske paschad hi hum kuch chinta kar payenge

Chandragupt : jhelum k tir mein Panchnad naresh Porus apne vishal sainyavahini leke Sikandar ko vadhadan karne k liye pratiksha kar rahe hai..us yudh k phal pr Bharat k suraksha aur vabishya nirvarshil hai..aur Acharya aur humare deshprem k pariksha bhi..

Airavat's father : Chandragupt to kya hum bhi yavan k vashyata sweekar kar le?? humare rajya atyant kshudra hai..yadi hum yavan k virodhita karne k spardha kare to hum vinasht ho jayenge..

Chandragupt : paristhiti k vichar karke is samay vashyata sweekar hi uchit hoga jab tak Sikandar Panchnad tak pohuch na jaye..

Maharani : aap ye rajnaitik alochana kuch samay k liye stabdh bhi karenge.humare putra k vivah asanna hai..kya hum is samay isike ayojan mein manoyog nhi de sakte??

Maharaj : avashya..

Digvijay looks at Shreemati..Shreemati blushed..all friends giggled..

Durdhara : aur humare vichar mein is samay bhojsabha mein dhyan dena sarbadhik avashyak hai..to kripaya bhojan k atirikt sabhi alochana kuch bhojsabha k samapt hone k uprant hi kare..is bhojsabha k karndhar hone k karan ye humara adesh hai..

.Chandragupt stole a glare at her..she immediately lowered her gaze..she herself couldn't understand why she is feeling shy to look into his eyes..

Digvijay : aur jab ye adesh Rajkumari ka ho to uska palan na ho aisa to samvab hi nhi hai..

Chandragupt (smirks) : avashya

Chitra again feels irritated...Durdhara along with other girls started serving..Chitra seemed to take over the duty of  serving to Chandragupta..she ..Subhadra came to serve vegetables but Chitra took the bowl from her..

Chitra : Chandragupt ko pariveshan main karti hun..karan usko kaunse aharya pasand hai aur kaunsa nhi vo keval hum hi bata sakt hai..hai na Chandragupta

she looks at Chandragupt for approval..Chandragupt nods without knowing that Chitra is trying to show her possession over him..Subhadra feels annoyed and moves to Shashank to serve..and her bowl almost became empty after serving him..she comes to Sukant..but Sukant was busy in staring at her..

Subhadra : hum aur tarkari le ate hai..

Sukant : uske avashyakta nhi hai..(whispering) .yadi tum sammukh raho to humare kshudha aapne aaphi shant ho jayenge..

Subhadra blushes and hurriedly moves from there.

.Aditya was not able to observe Ketki more in the presence of their parents..he was stealing glance at her from corner of his eyes..Sumitra was pouring water on Airavat's glass..Airavat in an acting of drinking water touched Sumitra's hand which was holding the glass..Sumitra blushed and scold Airavat by eyes indicating her father and father-in-law..but Airavat didn't leave her hand..she then requested through her eyes..Airavat winked and leaves her hand..
Maya was serving cereals to Dakshita and then moved to Akshay..and she was putting second serving...Akshay stopped her

Akshay : bas balika humein aur nhi chahiye

Dakshita (irritated) : Akshay tum ekbar aur Maya ko balika bulao..hum satya mein tumhare banprastha jane k byabastha kar denge..

Ghanghor : humare balak Akshay Maya ko balika sambodhan karke aapna bayask hone ka praman dena chahta hai..ye to samjho..

everyone laughed...Maya giggled.Akshay becomes silent..

Chandragupt : mitron Akshay ko aise padesaan na kiya karo.Akshay krodhit na ho..humare rehte koi tumhe balak nhi kahenge..kintu kripaya tum bhi humare bhagini ko naam se sambodhan karo..uske naam balika nhi Maya hai..

Akshay (happy) : thik hai.. Maya..
Maya becomes satisfied..

Durdhara comes to serve with a bowl of ghee ..Chitra moved to take next menu for Chandragupt..in the meantime Durdhara comes near Chandragupt..he became lost looking at her..Durdhara poured Ghee on his rice..Chitra comes back and almost screamed..

Chitra : are rajkumari yeh apne kya kiya?? Chandragupt ghrita k sevan nhi karta..uske patra mein bhul se bhi ek bindu ghrita pad jaye to vo bhojan ka parityag kar deta hai..ab uska sampurn ahar nasht ho gaya..

Durdhara (confused and shocked) : vo..humein ye gyat nhi tha..humein laga ghrita se anna swadist hote hai..to..

Chitra (in a tempered voice) : aapko pariveshan k purv anumati to lena chahiye tha..ab use samast aharya punah pariveshan karna padega

everyone  got shocked to see this unnecessary rudeness of Chitra to princess Durdhara..Subhadra was about to give a response but Durdhara stopped her..

Durdhara : hum kshama chahte hai..hum abhi dwitiya patra k vyavastha karte hai..

Chitra : rehne dijiye rajkumari Chandragupt b hum pariveshan karenge
she was about to remove the plate..but Chandragupt stopped by holding hand..

Chandragupt : rehno do Chitra ..aj hum ghrita k sevan karenge..

Chitra (confused) : kintu Chandragupt tumhe ghee se ghrina hai..

Chandragupt : Chitra acharya kehte hai k jeevan mein har ek avigyata hona avashyak hai..aur phir yeh to sabhi jante hai k ghrita se shareer mein bal brithi hote hai..
he mixed the ghee with rice and eat a morsel..and he relished the taste of Ghee
Chandragupt : avut..hum kitne murkh the so is swad se abtak aapne apko banchit rakha..
(turning to Durdhara) : rajkumari thora aur ghrita milega?

Durdhara gave a beautiful smile of pleasure that made Chandragupt almost hypnotized and his eyes were glued at her face
she poured almost all ghee from bowl to his plate lookind at his shining eyes full of some feelings which she had also come to understanding....Chitra couldn't bear the scene any more and turned to other corner of hall

Shashank (tensed) : are bhagini ghrita to humein bhi atyant priya hai..to humare liye bhi to kuch rakho..

Dakshita : Shashank tumhe nhi lagta k tumhe ghrita ka sampurn parityag karna chahiye?? ghrita keval bal hi nhi med bhi bridhi karte hai..aur humein nhi lagta tumhe aur adhik med k avashyakta hai ..

Shashank gets offended but knowing Dakshita was right he chose to remain silent..but other friends laughed at Dakshita's joke..Chandragupt and Durdhara finally become conscious..

Durdhara (in mock anger) : aaj humare bhrata ko koi kuch nhi kahega..vo jitna chahe ahar kar sakte hai..

and she continued serving ghee to Shashank and then others..and everyone concentrated in eating..

The Royal Court

after the supper ended..members of royal family and guests were gathered to the royal court ..for necessary announcement..king Abhisar stood on dais and addressed all

Abhisar : upasthit sudhijanok shubhakanksha k sahit aaj hum humare putra yuvraj Digvijay aur assakeya pradhan k putri Shreemati k vivah k ghoshna karte hai..rajjyotishi ne asanna purnima tithi mein vivah k lagna ghoshit kiye hai..aur isi upalakshay mein sampurn ek mas sampurn abhisar men utsav manaya jayega..

everyone clapped ..

Digvijay (turning to Chandragupta) : tumhare karan humare vivah sampann hone ja rahe hai..is vivah anusthan k mukhya atithi tum hi banoge vandhu..

Chandragupt (hesitantly) : humein kshama karna mitra kintu hum is vivah mein upasthit nhi reh payenge..

everyone present there were stunned..

Digvijay (shocked) : kintu kyun mitra?

Chandragupt (taking a rolled paper out from his pouch) : acharya ne parabat k madhyam se humein gurutyapurn suchna preran kiya hai..humein kal ushakal hi sakala k liye prasthan karna padega..acharya ab wahi humare pratiksha karenge..

everyone got shocked that none could speak a word for sometimes..Chitra felt happy at last Chandragupt will be away from princess..she felt relaxed..but Durdhara suddenly felt world had been snatched from her..she knew it would happen one day but so soon??..she slowly moved from there

Digvijay (at last managing himself) : yadi acharya k yehi agya hai to uska palan avashya hoga..hum kal hi prasthan karenge..
he gave a painful look towards Shreemati..and his parents.

Chandragupt : nhi mitra..tum yehin rehke Kamboj aur Bharatvarsh k prati dayittwa palan karoge..acharya k yehi nirdesh hai..aur keval tumhare liye hi nhi pratyek shishya k liye prithak nirdesh hai..

King , queen and Shreemati felt relaxed..Digvijay felt happy but at a time sad too for not being able to give company to Chandragupta

Dakshita : Chandragupt hum sab k liye kya nirdesh hai??

Chandragupt ; jaise Digvijay Kamboj mein rehke is rajya k nirapatta aur rajnaitik sthiti k sandesh acharya ko preran karte rehne ..waisehi Airavat bhi apne rajya jake Yavan k gatibidhi paryabekhan karenge..karan uske rajya ko paar karke hi yavan Kekaya (Panchnad) tak pohuchenge..
Airavat's father , father-in-law and Sumitra felt relieved..Airavat also had mixed feeling like Digvijay
Chandragupt : Aditya apne parivar k sath Gandhar wapis jayega aur Takshshila aur Gandhar k sthiti paryabekhan karke acharya ko suchna dete rahenge
Aditya's family felt releaved..Aditya looked at Ketki and then gave painful gaze to his friend
Chandagupt : Ghanghor ko Malli jana padega..Gandhar rajkumari Alka wahin pr ashray liya hai karan vo apne bhrata ko samarthan nhi karti..Ghanghor Malli k rajkumar aur Alka se milke acharya k parvarti nirdesh k pratiksha karna padega..aur Sukant ko Panchnad jake Maharaj Porus aur Sikandar k yudh k sabistar barnana acharya ko dena padega
Ghanghor felt sad for leaving his friends..Sukant knowing that he has to go away from Suvadra..looked painfully at her..Suvadra bent her head down and left the place

Shashank : aur humare liye kya aadesh hai??

Chandragupt : Akshay , Shashank aur Dakshita humare sath Sakala chalenge..Takshshila ab surakshit nhi hai..Chitra aur Maya bhi humare sath chalenge..uske paschad acharya unke vishay mein nirnay lenge..

Chitra considered that this is the happiest news for her..she felt like dancing but controlled herself..Akshay , Shashank and Dakshita got relieved to know they are accompanying their leader and will be in direct touch of Chanakya

King Abhisar : jab acharya Chanakya k yehi icha hai to hum kaise badha de sakte hai..hum isi kshan tum sab k yatra k pravandh aramv karte hai..aajke liye darbar samapt hua..

he leaves..others also left the court..

Royal Garden

Digvijay , Airavat ,Aditya ,Sukant ,Ghanghor , Akshay ,Shashank , Dakshita and Chandragupt meets in the garden to bid adeu each other for years..they don't know when they will again come back together and will spend friendly time or ever will be able to do so or not..they hugged each other with teary eyes..

Chandragupt : mitron hum sab sharirik rup se ek dusre dur avashya ja rahe hai..kintu sada ek dusre k hriday mein rahenge..Digvijay aur Airavat aur Adirtya tumhare aur tumhare patniyon k liye humare shubhkamna tumhare sath rahenge..

Aditya hugged Akshay..and Shashank
Aditya : humne aajtak tumlogo k jo bhi parihas kiya uske liye humein kshama karna..kintu Shashank k bhojan priyata aur Akshay k saralta..sada humare smriti mein rahenge..

Shashank : aur tumhare parihaspriyata..

Chandragupt : Kamboj mein bitaye gaye ye panchdas divas hum sab k jivan k sumadhur smriti banke sada humare sath rahenge..

Digvijay : aur kambojbasi bhi tumsabko sada sarvada smaran rakhenge..aur us din k pratiksha karenge jis din veerta k misaal Chandragupt k hast acharya Chanakya k Akhand Bharat k sapna poora hoga..kamboj basi k shubh kamnaye bhi ab Chandragupt k sath hai..

everyone hugged Chandragupt together..

In The Midnight

Airavat , Aditya and Ghanghor had already left for their destination...Chandragupt and his friends will leave at dawn..but Sukant has to leave in the dark of night..as Panchnad is a very crucial place and he can't risk to any agent of gandher to see him..but for the last time he came to meet Subhadra before leaving..he knew she will come in garden..he sent a letter to her in hand of a kid of palace
he was not wrong..Subhadra was waiting for him..but Sukant got amused to see Subhadra's dress..it was the same cloth he bought for her and handed her forcefully the day before the competition when he brought Chandragupt to meet with Durdhara in disguise of warrior..Sukant smiles in relief he knows now Subhadra also loves him..

Sukant : Subhadra..

Subhadra didn't look at her.but Sukant understood that she is crying..he held her arms..and pulled her to him..Subhadra silently continued weeping keeping head on his shoulder..

Sukant : Subhadra tumne aj mere uphar sweekar karke humein humare uttar de diya..ab hum shanti se apna kartavya palan kar sakte hai..keval tumhare mukh ko smaran karke..

Subhadra : hum tumhare pratiksha karenge Sukant..hum rajkumari se prithak nhi ho sakte kintu apne man ko tumhare chinta se prithak nhi hone denge..

Sukant : hum jante hai rajkumari tumhare liye kitna mahatyapurn hai isi karan hum tumhe humare sath chalne k liye kadapi nhi kahenge..kintu tum dekhna prem karne walo ko iswar milwate avashya hai..hum nhi jante kab kintu humare punarmilan avashya hoga

Subhadra : hum tumhare liye kuch laye hai..jo tumhe sada mere smaran karwate rahenge..jaise tumhare diye gaye ye vastra humein tumhara smaran karwate rahenge..
and she gives her portrait which was the cause of their meeting..

Sukant : aur tumhare ye chitra ko hum sada humare hriday se lagake rakhenge..

and he hugged Subhadra tightly and kissed on her forhead and cheeks..

Subhadra : apna kheyal rakhna Sukant..

Sukant : tum bhi..aur humare smriti mein ashru nhi hasya byay karna

and he gently pecked on her lips..and leaves the place..Subhadra wipes her tears and kept staring at him until he disappears from sight...

In The Twilight

The darkness of the night hadn't wiped out fully..the eastern sky just started to change colour from deep to light blue..Chanragupt entered into Durdhara's room through window..he confronted with himself for thousand of times for entering here like a thief but he just couldn't restrict himself..after the meeting of royal court he didn't see Durdhara anywhere and then he had to be busy in the arrangement of leaving at dawn..and had to meet a no. of people who came to show their gratitude before he leaves..but for a second he couldn't keep himself away from Durdhara's thought..he desperately wanted to meet her before leaving but Durdhara didn't come out from her room..so he had to come this way..he knew entering into a girl's room at night that too of a princess's room is wrong and none will allow him to come without permission and as Durdhara was in her room so he couldn't ask for her permission and also he wanted to meet her privately without letting the guards know so he was forced tio enter this way..it was impossible for any one to enter into room without Pratiharin's notice but Chandragupt knew to crack security as he earlier entered nto Dhananand's and Karvinath's chamber in Lokhandi too..
   The room was not completely dark a lamp gave it a shadowed effect ..she found Durdhara was sitting on bed leaning on the bed post ..she was sitting with her back towards Chandragupt so she couldn't notice him..she was holding a paper and talking to it..Chandragupt stood silently and started observing what Durdhara doing a while..as he neared to her he got amazed to see that this paper on her lap contained his portrait only..

Durdhara (to portrait) : hum jante hai tum aapne matrabhumi aur ane acharya k prati dayittabadh ho..kintu humara man kyun nhi man raha hai..hum jante hai kekdin tumhe to kamboj se jana hi tha kintu jab vo samay a chuka hai to hum itna bichlit kyun ho rahe hai..kyun barbar ye shanka utpann ho rahe hai k kamboj chodtehi tum humein bhi bismrit ho jaoge...ye chinta bhi humare liye kitna kashtdayak hai..

Chandragupt (smirks) : aapne aapko vyarth kasht na do rajkumari

Chandragupt's voice made Durdhara shocked and shivered..the paper from her hand floated and fell on Chandragupt's feet..he picked it ..Durdhara turned back and became speechless for a while as she was confused whether she is dreaming or not..

Chandragupt : humare ye chitra to humse koi guna adhik sundar hai..aap is desh k sarbadhik pratibhashali chitrakar hai..mannahi padega..

Durdhara now became sure that Chandragupt is really standing in her room.
Durdhara (screaming out of excitement) : Chandra..
before she could complete his name he hurriedly put his hand on her mouth..

Chandragupt : are chitkar na karo yadi pratiharin a jaye to hum kal sakala k nhi karagar k marg mein honge..

Durdhara calmed down..Chandragupt removed his han from her mouth..
Durdhara : tum aise akasmik yahan aye to hum chakit ho gaye the..

Chandragupt : tum apne kaksha se bahar hi nhi a rahe the..to hum kya karte..tumse na milke to ja nhi sakte the..aur nahi kisiko ye keh sakte the k humein ratrikal mein tumse milna hai..ye ashobhniya hota na..

Durdhara(smiles blushingly).. : to tum humse vida lene aye ho

Chandragupt : nhi Durdhara...hum tumse humare vo anubhutiyon k bayan karne aye hai..jiske vishay mein hum kuch din purv tak anaviggya the..aur ye anubhutiya tumse jude huye hai..

Durdhara (questioningly) : kaunse anubhutiyan??

Chandragupt : kaunse anubhuti vo to hum spasht rup se nhi keh sakte..bas itna kehna chahte k tums milne k purv humein nhi gyat tha k acharya aur apne mitron k atirikt koi aur humare chinta ko aise adhikar kar sakte hai.aur yeh chinta man ko ek hi sath shant aur ashant karte hai .kintu kadachit tumhare bhrata Digvijay aur samrat Sikandar k paribhasha mein ise hi prem kehte hai..aur yadi yeh satya hai..to han humein tumse prem hai Dhara..

Durdhara felt so shy that couldn't utter a word in response..just lowered her gaze..Chandragupta cupped her face with palms

Chandragupt : humein bhai tha k yadi hum apne ye sthiti tumse kahe to tum hum pr krodhit hogi..kintu na jane humare man humse kehte raha k hum tumse yeh baat kare..hum nhi jante tum humare vishay mein kya sochti ho..kintu aaj jab tum mere chira se baat kar rahe the to humein bhi ye gyat hua.k humare  jaisehi kuch anubhuti tumhare man mein bhi hai..Dhara kya hum satya keh rahe hai..

Durdhara (blushed and whispered) : uddand vanvasi..

Chandragupt (smirks) : unmad rajkanya..

both giggles coyly..

Chandragupt : viswas nhi hota..jab humare pratham sakshatkar hua tha..to aisa pratit hote the jaise hum janma janmantar k shatru hai..

Durdhara : aur hum ek dusre k mukhdarshan bhi nhi karna chahte the..

Chandragupt : aur matra panchdas divas mein paristhiti kitna parivartit ho gaye na...

Durdhara : Chandra..hum tumhe baht yad karenge..na jane ab kab humare sakshat ho.

Chandragupt : Dhara..humein viswas hai..k humara punah sakshat shighra hi honge..

Durdhara : Chandra hum tumhe kuch dena chahte hai..
She goes to her chest and takes out the idol that was given by Kalyani..the colourful Natraj idol made by multi coloured precious stones

Durdhara : Chandra ye murti sada apne nikat rakhna Kalyani ne kaha ye soubhagya k pratik hai..ye tumhare raksha bhi karenge aur humare smaran bhi karwata rahenge...jaise tumhara ye chitra humein tumhare smaran karwate rahenge..

Chandragupt ties the idol in his pouch tied on his waist
Chandragupt : hum is murti ko kabhi apne se dur nhi hone denge Dhara..aur nahi tumhare smritiyon ko..

Durdhara couldn't control her tears any more..Chandragupt to console her pulled her in his arms...for a while they stood in the position embracing each other..he wiped her tears..she got lost in his innocent eyes..both realized that at last they had entered into the world of maturity
  the darkness wiped fully..eastern sky turned into red..birds started chirping..

Chandragupt : Dhara.ab humein chalna chahiye..nhi to yatra aramv karne mein vilamb ho jayenge..

Durdhara knew she can't stop him..so she noddded silently..

Chandragupt : Dhara. Helen ne tumhe uske taraf se kuch dene k liye kaha tha..jo hum aapne taraf se jane se purv tumhe dena chahte hai..

Durdhara : kya Chandra.

Chandragupt hesitantly held her face in his palms..and placed a kiss on her cheek..Durdhara's was not prepared for this..her cheek tured into red in colour with blush..she lowered her glare..

Chandragupt was about to leave..Durdhara held his hand..

Durdhara : Chandra hum tumhare pratiksha karenge..

Chandragupt (smiling sadly)  : hum bhi..
though he didn't want but he had to leave  through the window..before pratiharins comes and sees him..Durdhara leaned from her windo and without blinking kept on watching him..

On The palace Gate

after taking everyone's wishes the chariots along with Shashank ,Dakshita ,Akshay ,Maya and Chitra were waiting for Chandragupta to come

Akshay : Chandragupt ane mein itna vilamb kyun kar rahe hai..

Maya : bhrata ko kuch hua to nhi..

Shashank : are chinta na karo vo kadachit rajkumari se vida lene gaya hai..
after saying that with Dakshita's annoyed look he understood he did something wrong

Chitra was happy that she is finally getting rid of Kamboj and its princess and at last getting opportunity to spend time with Chandragupta..but she was a bit worried..that after that dinining hall incident Chandragupta didn't say a word to her..now Shashank's words almost burnt her ears..

Chitra : hum jake Chandragupt ko bulake late hai..itna vilamb hona uchit nhi hai
she was almost getting down from chariot..Dakshita stopped her holding hands

Dakshita : Chitra itna bechain na ho Chandragupt samay k mahatya humse adhik samajhta hai..vo ate hi honge

and then only Chandragupt was seen..Chitra was about to go down..but didn't dare knowing perhaps Chandragupt is perhaps upset with her

Chandragupt silently got into chariot..but  his eyes were glued on the roof of the palace as if was searching someone..but was failing to find her

Akshay : kya hua mitron kiske sandhan kar rahe ho??

Chandragupt (bemusedly) : kuch nhi..sarthi yatra aramv karo..

Shashank and Dakshita knew whom he was searching for..they remained silent..Chitra also knew..she felt sad but didn't say anything
the chariot just started to move..and then only Maya shouted

Maya : vo dekho rajkumari Durdhara ..prasad k prakar par..

Chandragupt immediately stood up..his eyes shined with joy and it met with two wide beautiful eyes..Durdhara waved her hands in air..his hands waved in response..both kept gazing into each other's eyes till the palace from chariot and chariot from palace were seen
..after both disappeared from each other's sights their heart kept carrying each others gaze along with the new feelings called love for each other... forever

THE END

Ehsaas Kuch Naya Sa (Part-27)

In Durdhara's Room

Durdhara was sitting near the window , lost in deep thoughts..keeping her left arm on a stand..suddenly a tickle on her left elbow trembled her out of shock..and being conscious see found a white pigeon sitting on her left elbow carrying a rolled paper around its neck..the pigeon courier at last reached..
  She hurriedly picked up the bird and untie the letter..and started reading it..her face brightened as she reads the letter..she picks up the pigeon and kissed it and released it on the blue sky..
 "Subhadra , Subhadra"..shouts Durdhara

Subhadra enters running..

Subhadra (tensed) : kya hua rajkumari?

Durdhara hold her hands and started moving round in a dance step..Subhadra got astonished..

Subhadra : rajkumari kya hua ?? humein bhi to batao ye akasmik nritya k karan kya hai??

Durdhara waves the letter in front of Subhadra's eyes..Subhadra understands the reason of princess's joy..her face also glows

Subhadra ; Dhara kya kumar ka sandesh aya hai?? kya likha hai?? vo sab sakushal hai na??unke uddeshya safal to hua??

Durdhara : are Subhadra shant ho jao..Chandragupt ne likha hai bhrata Shreematididi ko leke kuch hi samay mein rajdhani pohuchte hi honge..chalo chalke mata aur pita ko suchit karte hai..

Subhadra (smiling): Dhara..ye patra yuvraj ne nhi Chandragupt ne likha hai??tabhi to soche k Maharaj k purv yuvraj ka sandesh rajkumari tak kaise pohuch gaye..

Durdhara couldn't get Subhadra's indication..
Durdhara (confused) : Bhadra tum kehna kya chahte ho..

Subhadra (having a naughty smile) : vo tum kuch samay mein swayam samajh jaogi..acha ye kaho k yuvraj k anya sab mitro bhi surakshit hai na??

Durdhara : unke vishay mein to koi ullekh nhi hai..iske arth sab thik hi honge..kintu tum itne chintit kyun dikhai de rahe ho

Subhadra : vo Sukant

Durdhara (confused) :Sukant !..tum Sukant k liye chinta kar rahe ho?? kintu  kyun?

Subhadra (controlling herself)..nhi hum to bas yunhi jiggasa kar rahe the...chaliye rajkumari maharaj ko suchit karte hai..

Subhadra almost ran to hide her embarrassment ..Durdhara was stunned to hear Sukant's name on Subhadra's mouth but Subhadra's behavior looked very familiar to Durdhara..because somehow in her mind also same kind of feelings were blossoming..she opens the letter once again , looks at Chandragupta's handwriting an whispers

"Uddand vanvasi"

On The Way of Panchnad

Kalyani was on her way to Panchnad ..it takes 5 days from Avisar to Panchnad..she was still 2 days away from her kingdom..she received a pigeon courier from Chandragupt soon after Chandragupt left Masasaga that Alexander soon will march for Panchnad..she was worried that she had to reach her kingdom soon..she also got to know from pigeon messenger of Panchanad that acharya chanakya left Panchnad 2 days back  and went to Sakala crossing Jhelum..does that mean Chanakya also thinks that Greek force are irresistible for her father ??..Kalyani becomes tensed..his only goal was to reach to Panchnad and to stand by her father and brothers..
  suddenly the leader soldier of her company warned everyone of her troop..

Soldier : sab satark ho jao..Gandhar senao k ek bahini dikhai de rahe hai..unke dristi rajkumari pr nhi padhna chahiye

Kalyani (shocked) : Gandhar Sena yahan..parantu kyun??

Soldier : rajkumari kadachit ye humare rajya panchnad k disha mein hi ja rahe hai..humein bhay hai k yeh bhi yavan sena ko Panchnad akraman mein sahayata karna chahte hai..aur humare adhikansh sena panchanad k liye purv hi prasthan kar chuke hai..hum keval binsh-panchvinsh sainik us vipul bahini k marg rudh karne mein asamarth hai

Kalyani (scared) : to ab hum kya karenge??

Soldier : rajkumari humare nikat ek hi upay hai ...k hum aapko dusre path se panchnad pohuchaye..kintu vo path durgam aur parvatsankul hai ..hum itne sare sainik ek sath nhi ja payenge kintu us marg se adhik drutta se panchnad pohucha ja sakte hai...isi karan mustimeya sainik aapke sahit panchnad pohuchke panchnad k bahini ko suchit karenge.aur hum inke anusaran karke inke gatibidhi pr drasti rakhenge..aur panchnad k dwar pr pohuchke apne sena se milke inhe badha dan karenge..

Kalyani : uchit hai to aur vilamb na karo aur humein us marg se panchnad le chalo

thus only 5 soldiers accompanied Kalyani in the mountainous short-cut of Panchnad and and rest 20 soldiers followed the Gandhar's troop with a safe distance..but after going a distance Kalyani and her soldiers had to stop to see 3 Gandhar soldiers in front of them..Gandhar soldiers also recognized Panchnad soldiers and attacked on them..and the narrow way become a battle field..Kalyani's chariot driver managed to flee from the attack..when her other soldiers got busy to stop Gandhar soldiers to reach to their princess..

Kalyani (horrified) : Saarthi shighra karo..humein shighratishighra Panchnad pohuchna hai...
her chariot driver made his best effort but yet the chariot had to stopped..

Kalyani (scared) : Saarthi kya hua?? rath kyun rok dia??

Saarthi (frightened) : rajkumari ..Gandhar Naresh Ambhik

following his finger's point Kalyani got stunned to see Ambhik sitting on a rock..his horse was standing near him..Kalyani understood King of Gandhar also had used this short cut to reach panchanad to lead his troop..but she got confused to see him siiting on the mid of his way..and then she noticed Ambhik's hand was bleeding profusely..
after getting defeated by Chandragupta Ambhik started for Panchanad with his 3 soldiers ..his troop had already on the way in his order.but his hand got terribly injured when he was about to fall from the cliff..so he was unable to horseriding continuously..to check his wound he stopped his horse..
the saarthi tried to drive chariot as Ambhik didn't notice them but kalyani stopped them and comes down from chariot..

Saarthi : rajkumari mat jaiye..Gandhar naresh aapke shatru hai..

Kalyani : Saarthi tum kuch dur jake humare pratiksha karo..humein rin parishodh karna hai..

She takes her medicine and goes near Ambhik..sensing someone near him Ambhik's hand automatically goes to his sword but looking at Kalyani..he put his sword down

Ambhik (confused) : Panchnad kumari!!! yahan??(then gazing something) ohh to aap bhi is shnuripath se apne rajya mein pohuchne k prayas kar rahe hai..tabhi soche k humare sathi sainik ab tak humare nikat kyun nhi pohucha.kadachit panchnad sena k akraman k pratyuttar dene mein vyast hai (mocking)

Kalyani (narrowed her eyes) : akraman Gandhar sena ne kia hai..aur aap akraman k baat kar rahe hai?? jabke aapke vishal sena yavan sena se milke humare rajya akraman karne k liye yatra kar chuke hai??

Ambhik (still mocking) : ohh to apko bhi iska gyan hai?? to aap yahan samay kyun nasht kar rahe hai..jaiye jaiye aapke pita ko aapke avashyakta hai..

Kalyani : humare pita atmaraksha mein swayam samarth hai ..au humein unke sahayata karnke liye aapke paramarsh k pratiksha nhi hai..hum to keval yahan aapna rin parishodh karne aye hai..

Ambhik (confused) : Rin?? kaunse rin??

Kalyani : Rajpur mein yudhkala pratiyogita k din hum aswaprishtha se bhupatit ho gaye the aur aapne humare sahayata kiye the..aur hum aapne pita aur apne desh k shatru k rin nhi rakhna chahte
  ( though on that day to help Durdhara kalyani was pretending to fall from horse but she actually slipped and got injured..while Ambhik carried and helped her..)
   Kalyani without telling a word more started tending Ambhik's hand..Ambhik tried to pull his hand

Ambhik : humein panchnad kumari k sahayata k avashyakta nhi hai..

Kalyani : aapke naam Ambhik nhi Dambhik hona chahite tha...itne raktpat ho rahe hai kintu phir bhi dambh kam hone  k naam nhi lete..

Kalyani's words amused Ambhik ..he didn't say anything and let kalyani tending his hand..after his bleeding stopped...Kalyani bandaged the wound applying medicine on that..and she was about to leave..and suddenly Ambhik stopped her holding hand

Ambhik : Kalyani ek baat kehna chahte hai..tum aapne crur pita se sampurn viparit ho..kintu itna sahriday hona bhi uchit nhi hai.

Kalyani : aap kehna kya chahte hai ?

Ambhik : tumhari achai humare marg mein badha utpann kiya tha..tumhare Chandragupt k sahayata k karan hum Abhisar ko apne paksh mein lane mein vyarth rahe..hum yeh bhule nhi hai rajkumari..aur tumhe iska uttar bhi avashya milega

Kalyani : kya karna chahte hai aap..

Ambhik (smirks) : yeh to tum Panchnadko parast karne k uprant hi dekh paoge..tumhe tumhare sahayata aur sahridayta k uttar bhi milega aur hum apna pratishodh bhi pura karenge..

Kalyani remained utterly confused..Ambhik gives a proud smile

Ambhik : jao rajkumari jao..Panchnad ko tumhari avashyakta hai..

and he himself rides on his horse and leaves the place..

Kalyani (thinks): Gandhar naresh humse kya karwana chahte hai?jo mere sahayata k uttar bhi hoga aur pratisodh bhi
with this thought she also leaves the place for panchnad with her chariot

Ambhik reaches where gandhar and panchnad soldiers were ffighting..he orders Gandhar soldiers to retreat and leaves the place for Panchnad..panchnad soldiers also followed Kalyani's chariot

Ambhik (smirks and thinks) :  hum rajkumari Durdhara ko hum apne kutnaiik shakti k liye to vyavhar na kar paye kintu ab humare ye uddeshya rajkumari Kalyani puran karegi..Panchnad jay k uprant acharya Shukdev ko hum apne is yojna k prastav Sikandar aur Parvateswar k sammukh mein rakhne ko kahenge..

"Kalyani tumne barbar humare marg mein badha utpann karke humare yojnao ko vyarth kia..iska dand tumhe ajiban bhog karna padega"
he murmurs
and then leaves for Panchnad

On the Gate of Rajpur

the whole capital had been gathered on the gate of Rajpur to welcome their future queen along with their future king..
" Yuvraj Digvijay k jay"
"yuvrani Shreemati k jay"
"Maharaj Abhisar k jay"
"veerta ki mishal Chandragupt k jay"
only these sounds were weaving in the air...this joy is not only for the upcoming wedding of their prince but the bigger happiness is prince and his friend Chandragupt made the whole kingdom free from the nightmare of the foreign invasion ..they now won't have to meet the fate of their neighbourhood kingdoms like Pushkalavati , Kath and Masasaga..and also their prince had been announced as ruler of Kamboja..so their happiness crossed all limits ..the  king had been announced month long festival in whole Abhisara..

Digvijay-Shreemati , Chandragupt and all his friends were welcomes with rain of flowers...Digvijay holding Shreemati's hand stepped towards King and Queen

Digvijay : Pita , Mata hum kshama chahte hai k hum aapko bina suchit kiye hi is aviyan mein chale gaye ..kintu hum vivash the..aap iske liye humein chahe jo bhi dand de..kintu Shreemati ko kuch na kehna..isse purv hi vo baht dukh sehn kar chuki hai

Chandragupt (hurriedly) : maharaj ismein yuvraj k koi dosh nhi hai..hum hi ne to mana kiye the

King Abhisar (smiling) : humein Durdhara se sabkuch gyat ho gaya..aur humein apne putra k prem aur mitrata k shakti pr bhi viswas ho gaya..

Maharani (touching Shreemati's face) : aur humein itne sundar putravadhu k prapti jo hua hai..hum kya apne santan se krodhit reh sakte hai??

tears rolls from Shreemati's cheek..Digvijay smiles in relax..Chandragupt gives a respectful look to Durdhara..Durdhara lowers her gaze..Chitra who was thoroughly noticing them got jealous..

Durdhara comes near to her brother and sister in law with puja thali in hand

Durdhara : humne kaha tha na aapne bhabi ma ko sarbpratham hum hi varan karenge..
she does aarti of both Digvijay and Shreemati..puts tilak on their head..and then hugs both of them together .giving the thali to Subhadra's hand

Digvijay : Dhara hum is prithvi k sabse soubhagyaban bhrata hai jo humein tujh jaise bhagini k prapti huye hai

Durdhara : aapse adhik soubhagyabati hum hai jo humein aap jaise bhrata hi nhi ..Shreemati didi jaise bhabi k prapti huye hai..

Shreemati : Dhara aajse tum humare bhi bhagini ho..

then Digvijay and Shreemati touch King and Queens feet for blessings..King hugged his son..queen hugged Shreemati

Abhisar : aaj humare putra aur kanya ne humare hriday garv se bhar diya..

crowd shouted "Jau yuvraj Digvijay k jai" ,"jai maharaj abhisar k jai"
Digvijay does a gesture to make them silent and turned to Chandragupta

Digvijay : is jai jaikar pr yadi kisika adhikar hai to vo hai humare mitra Chandragupta..jis pr Bharatvarsh k bhavishya nirvarshil hai..yadi Chandragupt Sikandar ko samjhane mein asamarth rehta to aaj hum sab yavan k karagar mein rehte aur Abisar k dasha bhi Pushkalvati aur Kath jaisa hota..

crowd shouted again " Jai veerta k misaal Chandragupt k jai"

Chandragupt : Digvijay humne mitra hone ka kartavya k palan kia hai.yadi jai jaikar karnahi hai to acharya Chanakya k naam k karo..humin apne kartavya k bodh to unhi se hua

crowd shouted again " jai Takshshila k mahan shikshak acharya Chanakya k jai"

Digvijay (turning to Durdhara) : Dhara  Chandragupt k karan aaj tumhare bhrata aur tumhare rajya surakshit hai.. uske tilak samman nhi karogi??

Durdhara (blushed) : avashya bhrata

Chitra along with Maya reached with puja thali to welcome Chandragupt..but her feet glued to see Durdhara stepping forward to Chandragupt to do aarti..her eyes got teary

Chitra (thinking) : humein kabse isi kshan k pratiksha tha k Chandragupt k aarti hum utarenge ur is rajkumari ne humare sapney aise nast kar diya? Rajkumari barbar aise hi humare adhikar nhi chin sakte..

Durdhara blushingly looked at Chandragupta..and did his aarti and put tilak on his forehead..Chandragupta felt all he waited for this moment only..he wished this moment not to pass soon..with all the deepness of his heart he looked at Durdhara's eyes..Durdhara immediately lowered her gaze..

Durdhara : tumhe dhanyabaad dene k liye mere nikat shabd nhi raha Chandragupt..

Chandragupt : mat karo mere dhanyabaad..dhanyabaad mujhe tumhara karna chahiye mujh par itna viswas karne k liye..

Durdhara shyly smiled..and then she noticed Chitra with pooja thali was returning back..

Durdhara : are Chitra..kya hua kahan ja rahe ho..Chandragupt k tilak nhi karogi kya??

Maya (also surprised to see Chitra returning back) : han Chitradidi aapne bhrata k liyehi to puja kiya tha..

Chitra couldn't go back any more..her feet were not willing still she managed to come near with teary eyes did his aarti and tilak..Chandragupt considered her tears as a result of her worry..he gently wiped her tears and cup her face on palms

Chandragupt : Chitra kya hua?? hum thik hai tum krandan kyun kar rahe ho?

Chitra (managing to control herself) : koi baat nhi Chandragupt tum laut aye ho na..isse adhik khushi k baat humare liye kya hoga

Chandragupt's all frieds were observing the whole situation and smiling throughoutly sensing what actually is going on..

Maya comes and hugs Chandragupta..Akshay was standing near with not so happy face..

Chandragupt : Akshay kya hua?? tum dukhi pratit ho rahe ho..

Akshy : Chandragupt hum tumhare is aviyan k ansh nhi ban paye isse adhik dukh k baat mere liye kya hoga.

Chandragupt : kshama karna vandhu..paristhiti kuch aisa tha..kintu ab hum tumhe vachan dete hai..k aajke aschad kisi bhi aviyan mein hum tumhare bina nhi rahenge..

Akshay : satya vandhu?

Chandragupt : acharya k shapath..

Akshay hugged Chandragupt..all other friends hugged them too..
Durdhara steps toward Shashank

Durdhara : bhrata Shashank aapne ek vaid nhi ek bhrata k bhati mera khyal rakha..isi karan hum aapke sath bhrata aur bhagini k sambandh jodna chahte hai..
aapko sweekar hai na??

Shashank : rajkumari humare koi bhagini nhi hai kintu hum pratham dibas se hi aapko apna bhagini mana hai..aapke bhrata kehlana humare liye soubhagya k baat honge..
Durdhara does aarti of Shashank..Shashank touched her head to bless her..

Dakshita : bas itna smaran rakhna tumhare is bhrata ko bhojan k prati atyant prem hai.aur tumhe unke kshudha shant karne k dayittwa lena padega..

everyone burst into laughter

Shashank (offended) : dekho Dakshita tum humein aise apman nhi kar sakte..

Dakshita : acha satya kehna apman kar na hota hai kya??

Chandragupt : are bas bhi karo tum dono..chalo rajbhavan Digvijay aur Shreemati k pratiksha kar rahe hai..

Durdhara : aur veerta k misaal k bhi..
and she smiles blushingly

Chandragupt felt amazed...Chitra feels jealous and annoyed..

Chitra (thinking) : ye rajkumari itne nirlajja kyun hai..Chandragupt se aise baat karna kya use shobha dete hai?

Subhadra with puja thali comes near to Sukant..Sukant feels amused..

Sukant : aho bhagya humara..tum humara tilak karne aye ho..

Subhadra (trying to hide her feelings) : Rajkumari k sakhi hone k karan rajkumar k mitron k tilak karna humara kartavya hai..

Sukant (giving a naughty smile) : to hum is kartavya k palan mein kasdapi vadha nhi denge..

Subhadra does aarti to Sukant and applies tilak to him and was about to move ..Sukant suddenly holds her hand..Subhadra becomes embarrassed and looked at him..but she for few moments becomes lost in Sukant's intense glare at her..

Airavat moved from the crowd for going to Subahu shresthi's house to meet Sumitra..and suddenly some familiar voice made him stunned..
"putra"
he turned and shocked to see his father standing next to him along with Subahu shreshthi and Sumitra

Airavat : pitashree aap yahan..kaise??

King Abhisar comes to them..

Abhisar : putra Airavat..tum sab k Masasaga aviyan k paschad hi Subahi shreshthi humare nikat aye aur tumhare aur Sumitra k vishay mein humein sabkuch kaha..humne tatkal hi tumhare pita ko sandesh bheja..apne putra aur putravadhu ko apne rajya le jane k liye..

Airavat (turning to his father) : pitashree humein kshama kar dijiye..humare karan aapko baht hi kasht uthana pada..

Aairavat's father :  jab putri Sumitra aur Subahu shreshthi ne timhe kshama kar diya to humare kshama na karne k to prashna hi nhi uthte..

Airavat touched Subahu shresthi's feet..Subahu blessed him..

Airavat : humen kshama karne k liye dhanyabad pitashree..

Subahu : humein to keval humare kanya k sukh chahiye tha..aur Sumitra k sukh uske swami hai..

Airavat : hum vachan dete hai hum Sumitra ko sarvada sukhi rakhenge..

he looks at Sumitra ..Sumitra comes and does Tilak to him..and smiles at him..Airavat smiles back ...

Aditya (to Ghanghor) : dekha mitra..sabko tilak karne k liye koi na koi hai koi na koi kanya upasthit hai..aur humare bhagya mein..keval hi shunyata..

Ghanghor : kya kare bhagwan abtak humare aarti karne wale ko preran hi nh i kiya..

and then only
"putra Aditya"
Aditya turns and stunned to see his family

Aditya : are aaplog Gandhar se kab aye..

Aditya's mother : are hum tumhare liye ek susambad laye hai putra isi karan tumhare gandhar lautne k pratiksha nhi kar sake..

Aditya (confused) : aisa kya susambad hai??

Aditya's father : putra humne tumhara vivah sthir kar diya...humare prativeshi k kanya Ketki se??

Aditya and all other friends : kya?????????

Aditya's mother : aur hum to use sath bhi laye hai..putri Ketki...

they turn and everyone saw a sweet girl around 14-15 comes with puja thali near Aditya..



Aditya's mother : putri Aditya k tilak karo

Ketki does Aditya's aarti and applies Tilak..Aditya was completely speechless in this sudden turn of his life..so he couldn't react..

Ghanghor : chalo mitron akhir  tumhe bhi tilak karne wali mil ho gaye..hum hi keval akele reh gaye..

Shashank : Ghanghor chinta na kar tujhe bhi koi na koi mil hi jayenge..

and al friends started giggling..Akshay confusingly tried to ask something..but watching  all his friend's annoyed glare at him he chose to remain silent..Aditya at last managed to smile at Ketki..ketki lowered her gaze in shyness..

King Abhsar : hum aaj Rajmahal mein ek bhojsabha k ayojan kiya hai us khushi k pal ko dirghayit karne k liye..chalo aur vilamb na karo..

now everyone felt that they are really feeling hungry..and Chandragupt . his friends and all guests left for Royal palace 

Ehsaas Kuch Naya Sa (Part-26)

In Alexander's camp in Masasaga

Chadragupta remembered Helen told how much she loves her freedom of roaming wherever she wants.and she is imprisoned just because of helping him?

Chandragupta (in mind) : hey iswar ek yavan Kanya jinse humara koi samvandh nhi humare sahayata karne k liye dand bhog rahi hai? hum iske liye kabhi aapne aapko kshama nhi kar payenge..
(to Emperor) - Emperor please release Helen..she is innocent..if you want you can imprison me but please forgive her..

not only Alexander but everyone present there were amazed by Chandragupta's impatience..

Alexander (to Seleucus) : go Seleucus what are you waiting for?? bring my princess to me..
Alexander had a deep affection for Cornelia .. he himself was hurt in the thought that she betrayed him by helping Indians..but he couldn't break his own rule so he had to imprison her..but considering she is a kid he ordered to imprison her in a dark room on her father's camp not in general prison..but he knew it was not less than death sentence for a free bird like Cornelia..though Alexander was not aware of Seleucus's plan of getting Cornelia married to him but he loved to spend time with her..

after few time Seleucus entered with Cornelia..Chandragupta noticed the shine from her eyes..the smile from her face has been disappeared..her angelic beauty has been covered with sadness..her eyes are red sign of constant weeping.she seemed more thin to him as if she was not having meal properly..Chandragupta blamed himself for her condition..

Cornelia didn't look at Alexander intentionally as she was upset with him but she noticed Chandragupta..and a smile comes on her pale face

Cornelia : Sandras..

Chandragupta : Helen.(stepped towards her) are you ok ?

Helen nods..

Chandragupta : i am so sorry Helen only for helping me you have to bear this..

Helen : no Sandras you are my friend and i helped my friend only..

Alexander stepped to Cornelia..but she turned her face..
Alexander : princess i am sorry..

Cornelia didn't respond..Seleucus was about to scold her but Alexander stopped him..and pulled her closer..Cornelia started weeping..in Alexander's order Nearks left with Digvijay and Shreemati..but Chandragupta couldn't leave without seeing the reconciliation of his new friend with Emperor..

Alexander : please Helen stop crying.from now nobody will stop you from roaming anywhere and meeting anyone.

Cornelia (still weeping) : promise?

Alexander : on the name of Zeus i promise you..now please forgive me and smile my princess

at last Cornelia smiles and hugged Alexander's neck..the Emperor picked her on his lap and kissed on her cheeks she also kissed back on his cheek ..Seleucus felt relieved..Chandragupta thinks its time to leave..

Chandragupta : Emperor allow me to leave ..we need to reach Avisara..

Alexander : yes Sandras.leave now..but i will wait on the bank of river jhelum for you and your teacher and also to know more about..
  he gives a mischievous smile without completing his sentence..

Chandragupta : about what??

Alexander : about the girl with whom you are in love with..

Chandragupta was again speechless with Alexanders teasing..he felt the feeling he himself didn't understand Emperor had read in his eyes..he bents his head down and leaves..

Outside The Camp

Chandragupta's friends were waiting for him to come..as Alexander had set them free so Greek soldiers were not near them but they were giving unhappy look to them..as soon as Chandragupta comes his friends surrounded him..

Dakshita : Chandragupt tumhare adhinakayakatwa ko shat shat pranam..tumne Sikandarko itne saralta se mana liya..

Shashanka : akhir acharya Chanakya k shishya hai..

Digvijay : are baki k prashansa Abhisar pohuchke karna..in yavano k koi viswas nhi hai..yadi punah humein vandi banane k yojna banaye to??

Chandragupta : han mitra chalo..humein shighra Rajpur bhi to pohuchna hai.akhir Yuvraj k vivah ayojan mein bhi to ansh lena hai..

all the friends left and were about to ride on horses when a ringing voice stopped them
"Sandras"

Chandragupta turned to Cornelia ..Cornelia comes closer and held Chandragupt's hands

Chandragupta : Helen i have no words to thank you..

Cornelia : no Sandras i want to thank you..you don't know you saved my life by coming here..spending these days in that dark room was worst than death sentence..thank you Sandras thanks from core of my heart
    and to all 's astonishment she placed a kiss on Chandragupta's cheek..making him embarrassed to the core..
(pecking Cheek is a Greek custom to say thank you)
  Chandragupta for few moments couldn't say anything..his friends looked each other trying their best to control laughter

Aditya : ishwar ko dhanyabaad k Akshay humare sath nhi hai..nhi to use sampurn drishya sabistar samjhana padta..

Ghanghor : kintu ye drishya atyant manmohaniya hai..

Shreemati blushed , Dakshita felt embarrassed

Cornelia didn't realize what she did to everyone..so she continued talking normally
Cornelia : Sandras i have another good news for you..on my request Emperor agreed to release all young girls from prison ..

Chandragupta's friends started praising Helen..which made Chandragupta conscious at last..

Chandragupta : you are really amazing Helen..i really don't know what to say..(and then he remembered about the ring)
Helen your ring saved us..now take it back..

Cornelia (pushed Chandragupta's hand back) : no Sandras keep it to yourself..you never know when it will be needed again..and then..this ring will remind you of me and our friendship..as now i am going back to Persia to my mother with emperor's permission so perhaps we won't meet again

Chandragupta : Helen i strongly feel we will meet again in future..i will never forget you..

Cornelia (giving a heavenly smile) : i also hope so..bye good Bye Sandras

Chandragupta : good bye helen

and all of them rides on horse and  then Cornelia shouts again..

" Give My love and kisses to Diodara too "

none understood who is Diodara except Chandragupta..he felt too embarrassed and shy to react or say anything..and kicked on Rangini's rib..to hide his embarrassment and to get rid of his friend's curious question about Diodara's identity..

On The way to Abhisara

Chandragupta and his friends were half way to their destination..and suddenly they saw a group of soldiers blocking their way and the person leading the soldier was in the very first glance got on nerves of everyone ..Gandhar king Ambhik..

Shashank : ye Ambhik humara marg abrudh karke kyun dandayman hai

Sukant : kahin hum pr akraman karne k yojna to nhi bana raha hai?

Airavat : yadi ab isse yudh karne gaye to Rajpur pohuchte pohuchte to anavashyak vilamb ho jayenge

Ghanghor: ye atyant krodhit pratit ho rahe hai

Aditya : krodhit to hoga hi..iske yojna Chandragupt ne vyarth jo kar diya hai..

Digvijay : Ambhik tumhe humse kya chahiye??is samay humare marg abrudh karne k karan kya hai??

Ambhik moved his horse closer to Chandragupta..

Ambhik (fuming in anger) : humein uttar chahiye vo hi tujhse vanvasi...

Chandragupta (having a smirk) : Ambhik kadachit tum bhul rahe ho..humara naam vanvasi nhi Chandragupta hai..aur kadachit tumhe tumhare prashna k uttar Gandhar mein tumhare acharya Shukdev se hi mil chuka hai..to yahan ake humein prashna karne k arth kya hai

Ambhik : humare liye tu sada sarvada tuchha vanvasi hi rahega..uttar do tumlogone humare dut se guru Shukdev k sandesh haran kia tha??

Digvijay : jab uttar gyat hi hai to prashna karne k murkhta kyun kar rahe hai Gandhar Naresh??

Ambhik : humein yeh janna hai k yavano k shivir mein tum log Sikandar se bhet karne gaye the ya nhi??jabtak humein apne prashna k uttar nhi mil jata tummese koi yahanse nhi ja paoge..

Chandragupt (smiles on Ambhik's idiocy) : Ambhik humare sath samay nasht karne se to uttam tum Panchnad k liye prasthan karo..karan Sikandar k parvarti lakshya wahi hai..hum bhi kuch hi samay paschad tumhe wahin milenge.abhi humse yudh karke samay aur sena nast karne ka kya arth hai??

Ambhik : Chandragupt tumhe tumhare karya k dand na deke hum na to yahanse kahin jayenge..aur nahi tumhe kahin jane denge

Chandragupt : tumhare samasya humse hai na..to ek karya karo humse dwandyudh karo..anarthak adhik vyaktio k raktpat karke tumhe koi suphal prapt nhi honge..

Ambhik thinks for a while and understood that Chandragupta was right..he has to help Sikandar against king Porus so he can't be involve in a battle now

Ambhik (turning to his army) : tum sab Panchnad k disha mein prasthan karo..hum kuch hi samay mein tumse milte hai..

Chandragupt (turning to his friends with a fade-up look) : mitron kinchid dur jake humare pratiksha karo..

all his friends unwillingly agreed to his order..

after few moment both the enemy stood alone on the field..Chandragupta sighs..Sikandar even after being a foreign invader could understand him..but Ambhik even after being from same Gurukul could think nothing except blood shedding enmity..that's why Acharya dreams about Akhand Bharat..only to finish this disunity ...

both of them observed each other carefully for a while..and then at the same time attacked each other with open sword..Chandragupt still tried to avoid blood shedding..

Chandragupt : is irsha se tumhe kuch prapt nhi hoga Ambhik

Ambhik : Irsha nhi apmaan hai Chandragupt..tum jaise ek valak se parajay ka apmaan..aur is apman k jwala humare hriday mein jeevanbhar rahenge jabtak hum tumse pratishodh na le le..

Chandragupt : ek videshi pr viswas karke tum apna jeevan vyarth kar rahe ho Ambhik...ek na ek din tumhe apne is bhul ka abhas avashya hoga..humein bhai hai k tabtak baht vilamb na ho jaye..

Ambhik in response fiercely attacked on him ..Chandragupt swang to avoid his attack..but Ambhik couldn't keep balance..and his feet slipped and he hanged from the cliff in support of the rocks..Chandragupta in a reflex held his hand to drag him...

Ambhik : humare jeevan raksha karke hum pr daya dikhane k koi avashyakta nhi hai Chandragupt..

Chandragupt : smaran hai gurukul se jab pratiyogita k liye hum nikle to bhi hum aise hi tumhare jeevan raksha kiye the..isi karan humein tumse ye apeksha nhi hai k tumme koi parivartan ayega..kintu ek kshatriya k dharam palan karne hetu tumhare jeevan raksha humare liye avashyak hai..
  Chandragupt with his full strength dragged Ambhik until he got his balance back .
  and then he leaves his hand and rides on Rangini..

Chandragupt : apeksha to tumse kuch bhi nhi hai Ambhik..kintu Takshashila k anyatam shreshtha shishya hone k smaran yadi tumhe kabhi aye to Takshashila k sarvshreshtha acharya k dwar tumhare liye unmukt rahenge..

Ambhik had nothing left to say..Chandragupt left keeping him in that situation
