Ehsaas Kuchh Naya Sa (Part-2)

Royal Palace of Kamboj

...the Sun is setting in the western horizon by spreading its golden light in the western sky...the time is called twilight...this is the favorite time for princess Durdhara...she lives each and every moments of the beauty of twilight...Durdhara has just completed 12 years...the tale of her beauty has been started to spread in neighborhood states..and even proposal of marriage have also started to come..though King of Kamboj is not ready to get her married soon...but he kept  proposal from Gandhara under consideration...but Durdhara being an innocent child is not aware of this news...she is very calm and quiet in nature...her only concern is her paintings...colours are not only her passion but her ways of expressing herself...in the time of birth maharani was suffering from fever..so Durdhara took birth with a weak condition of heart...so doesn't have permission of playing,running or dancing like other..and being a princess she can't go out from palace too..except going to the temple...so her days are spent in paintings...her beauty is like her nature..very polite...its comparable with the moonlight...she is busy in mixing colours as she wants to capture this beauty in her creation...she didn't notice her best friend Subhadra has entered...she is daughter of an amatya and spends most of the time in palace.though she is only 13 years old...but she is a bit matured...


Subhadra : priyo sakhi...( in a excited voice)

Durdhara was fully absorbed in her paiting...so Subhadra's voice made her startled and colors fell from her han on the floor...she became upset...

Durdhara : Subhadra dekho tumne kya kar diya...hum kitne kast se ye rang banaye the...sab nast ho gaye..ab firse banani padegi...thora ahista nhi bol sakte the??

Subhadra : hame kshama krna sakhi..pr aap chinta na kare..ham punah sabkuch prastut kr denge...parantu bat hi kuch aise hai k hum khud ko rok na paye

Durdhara : acha??aisi kya bat hai..hum bhi to sune...

Subhadra: ap sunoge to aap khushiyo ke mare uchhal padoge...sandes hi kuch aise aye hai...

Durdhara : paheliyan mat bujhao aur bolo bhi...kis sandesh k vishay mein bat kr rahi hai??

Subhadra : ahan aise nhi batayenge rajkumari...pehle bataiye is shuv samachar k lie hume kaunsi puraskar milenge...

Durdhara (gettig angry): dusta aise hamari dharya k pareeksha to na le...hamare dhadkan tej hote ja rahe hai tu mujhe aur uttejit na kr...bata mujhe kiske sandes aye hai??...

Subhadra : wahi jinke lie pure rajmahal prateeksha kr rahe hai...ap jinhe panch varsh tak apne chitrakala ke jariye apna prem pohuchati rehti thi...woh kumar digvijay ne sandes bheje hai...

Durdhara : (doubtfully ) tu satya bol rahi hai na??

Subhadra : shapath visnu bhagwan ki...hum satya keh rahe hai..visvas nhi hai to ye dekho patra jahan kumar ne apne ane ke suchna bheje hai

Durdhara takes the bhurjpatra and gives a look on it...

then a feelings of immense pleasure flashed on Durdhara's face..a smile with her teeth like white pearls made her face as if most beautiful creation of God...she was very close to her brother Digvijay...5 years back when he left for gurukul..she used to remember him through is painting and was waiting for his come back..and at last the moment has come...she forgot that vaidji has prohibited her from being excited...she hugged Subhadra and started dancing by twirling on her toe...Subhadra asks her to stop but she was not in mood of hearing anything...but after some moments she became tired..as she has no habit of such kind of excitements.. Subhadra brought water and after drinking it Durdhara feels normal...

Subhadra : are rajkumari...apne to patra thik se padhi hi nahi..ekbar pr lijiye na kumar ne kya likha hai...

Durdhara reads the letter...her face expression changed...Subhadra becomes curious...

Subhadra : are rajkumari batayie na kumar ne kya likha hai...

Durdhara : bhratasree kuch hi dino mein rajmahal padhar rahe hai...

Subhadra : ye to hume gyat hai...parantu aap k muh pr khusi kyu nhi dikh rahe hai...

Durdhara : kaise dikhenge??bhratasree ne ye patra hume likhe hai...parantu patra mein humari baatein kam aur apne mitrao k prasansa jyada hai..kehte hai ke unke kuch mitra bhi aa rahe hai...aur pure patra mein to unke ek visesh mitra ke prasasti gatha nazar a rahe hai...

Subhadra : acha??kaunse visesh mitra???

Durdhara : honge koi Chandragupta...

Taksashila Gurukul
          Boys are preparing for their journey..chandragupta went to acharya's room to take permission...so his friends are worried that if acharya chanakya would allow chandu to go or not...

Airavat : pata nhi chandragupt ko anumati mile hai ya nhi...kahin acharya ne use rok lia to??

Sukant : ab to hume bhi chinta ho raha hai..vo itna samay kyu le raha hai ane mein??

Shashank : parantu digvijay ne to is vishay pr pradhanacharya se pehlehi anumati le liya hai..to acharya q rokenge ??

Aditya : q k vo acharya chanakya hai...vo kya sochte hai ye samajhna hamare vash k bat nhi hai...aur mat bhulo chandragupt k marg humse prithak hai...ho sakte hai chanakya ye soche kamboj jana abhi uske liye uchit na ho...

Aksay : yodi aisa ho to hum bhi nahi jayenge kamboj...chandragupt ko chorke jane k bare mein hum soch bhi nhi sakte

Ghanghor : akshay akela tu hi nhi hum me se koi bhi chandragupta k bina nhi jayenge...

Digvijay : sahi kehte ho mitragan...yodi chandragupta na jaye to hum pitasree ko sandes bhej ke utsab bandh karne ko kahenge...

Shashank : are tumlog vyarth hi chinta kr rahe ho...dekhna hum sab chalenge aur chandragupta ko sath leke hi chalenge...

Ghanghor (smiling) : lagta hai ab kisi aur ko bhi sath leke jana padega...

Digvijay : arthat???

Ghanghor : piche dekho

the boys turned back and saw Drakshita is coming with her luggage

Drakshita enters...she is almost 14 years old too...she has also grown up..and being a girl she is now matured enough...she is now in the phase of being a woman..and now she is attractive to look at..she is a bit quarrelsome in nature...so the boys usually try to avoid her...but with a good heart she helps her friends ..from acharya chanakya she became aware of her truth of being a vishkanya...though the meaning of vishkanya is still not very clear to her..she just knows for some reason she is chosen to help chandragupta in a great purpose...so her life is different from other normal girls...she feels pride for that...though she doesn't know this difference is for good or bad for her own life...
watching Drakshita to come Shashank's chicks turned into reddish tomato again...the boys started giggling and laughing again...

Sukant : acha to kumar Digvijay ne Drakshita ko bhi amantrit kiya hai...kya hum puch sakte hai is tarah hamare yatra ke anand ko bighnit krne ka kya karan hai??

Aditya : sahi keh rahe ho Sukant..mana ke vo bhi chandragupt ke mitra hai...parantu uske swavab ko jante ho na??

Digvijay (seems very confused) : parantu mitro..humne to Drakshita ko aisa koi nimantran nhi bheje the...isiliye nhi k hum use nhi le jana chahte the..isiliye k hume uski kheyal hi nhi aye...

Shashank : kya tumne use amantrit nhi kiya??

Digvijay : nhi Shashank...hum to swayam padesan hai use dkhke...

Drakshita stops by watching the boys in front of her...Shashank steps towards her...

Shashank : tum yahan kya kr rahi ho??

Drakshita : usse tumhe kya??hum apne kam se aye hai..

Shashank : kam hai??gurukul mein ek kanya ke  kya kam ho sakte hai??

Drakshita : kuch bhi ho vo hum tumhe q bataye??hume kya tumse har kam ke liye anumati leni padegi??

Shashank : ye gurukul hai..idhar koi baharwale yunhi nhi chale a sakte hai...

Drakshita : oye mote..lagta hai kha kha ke tumhare budhi bhi tumhare tarahi mota ho chuke hai...tum kya acharya ho yahanki jo tum thik karoge kaun yahan ayenge aur kaun nhi?

Shashank :tumne  tumne firse mujhe mota kaha??

Drakshita : han kaha...aur age bhi kehte rahungi...koi jhut thori na kaha...

Shashank : aur tum kya ho??jiti jagti chudail kahinki...

Drakshita : kya tumne mujhe chudail kaha??tumhare itni himmat??agar tum chandragupta k mitra na hote to mujhe chudail kahne k anjam abhi samajh jate...

boys were enjoying their fight..they didn't dare to face Drakshita's words..so they choose to keep quite..the fight surely would continue for long...if chandu won't enter..watching shashank and drakshita fighting..he comes hurriedly and stands between them...

Chandu : are shant ho jao tum dono...q bacho ke tarah ladai kr rahe ho??

Drakshita : mujhse kya puch rahe ho??apne mitra se pucho...surwat isine kiya hai...

Shashank : pehle ise to pucho ke ye idhar kr kya rahi hai..vo bhi apne saman ke sath...

Chandu : are Drakshita tumne inhe bataye nhi ke tum bhi hamare sath ja rahi ho??

Airavat : parantu kyo Chandragupta??

Chandu : ye swayam gurudev k nirnoi hai...vo hamare suraksa mein koi kami nhi rakhna chahte hai...

Shashank : isliye ek kanya??acharya humse majak kr rahe hai..ya hum sab ke samyarth pr unka viswas nhi hai...

Drakshita : kaise viswas karenge..pehle khane se dhyan hatega to kisi aur visay pr dhyan doge na...aur ye kanya jo kr sakti hai..vo to tum soch bhi nhi paoge...

Shashank : dekho tum ab mera apmaan kr rahi ho.

Chandu : tum dono firse suru ho gaye???are ab bas bhi karo..hume yatra ke liye bilamb ho rahe hai...

Digvijay : han Chandragupta tum sahi keh rahe ho...ab Drakshita bhi hamare atithi hai...is shubh tithi mein hume sabke dua ke proyojan hai...chalo Drakshita..hamare choti  behn rajkumari Durdhara tumse milke baht khush hogi...

Aditya : chalo acha hai..akher acharya se anumati to mile...

Chandu : han mitra...acharya keh rahe the ke kamboj seema se hum samrat sikandar aur unke sena ke gatividhi ke suchna prapt kr sakte hai...isiliye vo swyam chahte hai k hum kamboj jaye aur is vishay pr suchna prapt kare..

Digvijay : han chandragupt kamboj k bhougalik seemayein paras se baht dur nhi hai..hamare guptachar tumhare sahayata avasya karenge aur hum bhi tumhare sath hai...

Chandu : to chalo yatra aramv karte hai mitro...

and all of them along with drakshita start for Kamboj...by the horse pulled chariots sent from Kamboj...
