Royal Palace
soon after Digvijay and Chandragupta left for Massaga.Kalyani left Kamboja for Panchnad.Durdhara along with Akshay concentrated on strengthen the security of Abhisara..the king was busy in royal duties so at first disappearance of Prince and his friends were not came into notice but as the day passed the activities of Durdhara and disappearance of Digvijay and Chandragupta and their friends came in notice of the king..the king called Durdhara and Akshay to his room..Akshay got a bit nervous but Durdhara was confident ..Subhadra , Chitra and Maya too were called there
Maharaj Abhisar : putri humein gyat hua k tum hamare senabahini ko sangathit hone k liye keh rahi ho..akasmat aisa kya prayojan aya hai putri?rajkumari Kalyani bhi aj hi humse vida leke Panchnad yatra kiya?aur tumhare bhrata aur unke mitra rajmahal mein nhi hai..kya tum is vishay mein kuch janti ho??
Durdhara took a few time to express the thoughts towards father..then silently gave the letteer to the king..being confused the king opened the letter..and got just stunned to read it
Abhisar (tensed) : is patra ka arth kya hai?? yavanone Assakeneya nagri Massaga mein shibir sthapit kiya aur Abhisar pr akraman karne k yojna bana rahe hai ?? Gandhar se ye sambad aya hai?? aur ye humein tum ab de rahi ho?? kya tumhe abhas bhi hai humare rajya pr kitne bade sankat anewala hai?
Subhadra couldn't bear the king's scolding to Durdhara
Subhadra : maharaj yuvrajne rajkumari se kaha tha k unke jane k paschad hi ye sambad apko diya jaye...
Abhisar (confused) : Digvijay ne aisa kiya? kintu kyun..aur vo gaye kahan..Chandragupt aur uske sathi bhi dikhai nhi de raha hai
(turning to Akshay) kya tum is vishay mein uch abgat ho??
Akshay (stammering) : vo hum vo..
Durdhara : bhrata bhabima ko raksha karne k liye gaye hai..
Abhisar (astonished) : bhabima putri tum kiske vishay mein baat kar rahi ho??
Durdhara : Assakenaya pradhan k putri Sreematididi..
Abhisar got stunned..queen was listening to the conversation and she was also shocked..
Maharani : Shreemati k raksha karne gaya hai Digvijay?? putri yeh kya keh rahi ho humein kuch samajh mein nhi a raha hai..aur Shreemati tumhari bhabima hai?? iska arth kya hai??
Durdhara now felt confused.even she couldn't understand the things properly..now Shubhadra came to her rescue
Shubhadra : maharaj , maharani hamare yuvraj assakenaya pradhan k kanya kumari Shreemati se prem karte hai
King and Queen looked at each other..the word 'prem' carried some new emotion to Durdhara's mind..she suddenly felt there are some special importance that this word carries..
Abhisar : prem?? kintu humein to is vishay mein kuch bhi gyat nhi tha..ye sab kab aur kaise hua??
Shubhadra narrated all the story..how 2 years before Digvijay and Shreemati met in Vishnupuja in Kamboja and Digvijay fell in love with her but as he was aware of the problems between Abhisar and Assakenaya so never expressed his feelings to his parents ..and he used to keep contact with her through letters sent by pigeon but since last few months because of certain political circumstances in Takshashila the contact broke and now after knowing the Greek attack on Massaga Digvijay couldn't stop himself from going there for the sake of love..with king and queen Durdhara was also listening to Subhadra's words and was wondering that all things happened in her presence but she was not able to read her brother's feelings??even when Digvijay asked her make a portrait of Shreemati .she did..she saw in these two years how adorably Digvijay used to look at the picture..whenever she used to ask brother used to say you won't understand..so it was the reason??but what kind of feelings is this?? how it feels??in these 12 years she was even not aware that such feelings ever exist..
Subhadra ended her story and King and Queen sighed..
Maharaj Abhisar : to isi karan hai k Digvijay is sankatjanak aviyan mein jane se purv ekbar bhi humein suchit karna avashyak nhi samjha??kya humare anumati ka uske koi avashyakta nhi tha??
Maharani : aur Assakenaya k kanya se atirikt prem k upyogi aur koi kanya nhi mila use?? vo janta tha na k Assakeneya k pradhan ne uske pita ka asamman kia tha unhe raja manne se asweekar karke??
Akshay : maharaj , maharani humare mitra Sukant kehte hai prem sthan, kal aur patra k vivechana nhi karta ..vo to jinse hota hai ho jata hai..
Subhadra's face got reddened with Sukant's mention..but the deep meaning of the words touched Durdhara's heart
Durdhara : mata , pita aap ashanka kyun kar rahe hai..kya aapko bhrata pr viswas nhi hai..k bhrata aisa koi karya nhi karenge jisse pita k asamman ho..mata hum swayam Shreematididi se sakshat kar chuke hai..vo baht hi shant swavab k hai..unke pita ne jo kia unmein unka kya dosh??aur phir
Subhadra : Maharaj , Maharani Shreematidi sundar hai , sushil hai aur sampurn rup se kumar Digvijay k yogya hai..
Durdhara : aur phir bhrata ek yodha hai..apne kisi priyajan pr sankat ate dekh vo sahayata karne kaise na jata..ye to veerdharm ka apman hota..
Abhisar (seemed convinced) : kintu vo yadi humse paramarsh karta to hum use sahayata to kar sakte the..
Durdhara : paramarsh k samay hi kahan tha??aur phir yadi aap bhrata k liye sena prerit karteto Abhisar k suraksha to sankat me a jata na..isi karan to humein apne sena ko sangathit karna hai take hum yavan k akraman k samna karne k liye prastut reh sake..
Maharani : kintu un durdharsh yavan k sammukh humare putra akele kaise chala gaya..
Durdhara : nhi mata bhrata k sahayata karne k liye Chandragupt jo uske sath hai.
.wahi Chandragupt jinhe veerta k misaal mana jate hai..Akhand Bharat k bhavishya jinka pratiksha kar rahe hai..kya aapko us Chandragupt pr viswas nhi jinhone aapke kanya ko naya jeevan pradan kiya??aur yehi nhi vo to humein yavano k hatho se bhi raksha kiya
Maraj and Maharani : arthat??
Durdhara narreted the story of her and Chandragupt's confrontation with Greeks..
Maharani (shocked) : putri tune ye humse purv mein kyun nhi kaha??
Durdhara : karan vo Gandhar naresh Ambhik jo yahan tha..Chandragupt ne mana kia tha Ambhik ko yavan k agaman ka suchna na dene k liye..
Maya : humare bhrata jinke sath hai unka vijayee hona to nischit hai..Maharaj aap nischint rahe
Akshay : han maharj humare Chandragupt biphal nhi ho sakte
Maharaj : tum sab kadachit satya keh rahe ho..jab Chandragupt , Digvijay k sath hai to vo avashya safal honge..hum aj hi Vishnu mandir mein unke safalta hetu puja karenge..
Maharani : aur hum vivah k prastuti suru karte hai...mahal mein putravadhu k agaman hone wale hai..baht karya sesh hai
Durdhara : to humein aggya de pita ..hum senabahini k dhyan rakhte hai
Maharaj : avashya
Durdhara and others left the room
Akshay left for watching the soldiers , Subhadra and Maya left to help the queen..Chitra comes closer to Durdhara..when Durdhara was praising Chandragupta , Chitra was feeling annoyed but was surprised to see Durdhara's confidence on Chandragupta...
Chitra : rajkumari..ek prashna kare?? aap Chandragupta pr itna viswas karte hai??
Durdhara : kyun Chitra?? kya tumhe uske samarth pr koi sandeh hai??
Chitra : humare baat prithak hai rajkumari..hum Chandragupt ko balyakal se jante hai..aap to usse keval saat din pehle mili hai..phir bhi itnaviswas ..kyun??
Durdhara : Chitra Chandragupt ne humare prano ka raksha kiya hai..hum us pr viswas kaise nhi karenge??aur bhale hi hum Chandragupt ko varsho se nhi jante..kintu in saat dino mein humnein use jitna jana hai..vo us pr ankh bandh karke viswas karne k liye paryapt hai
Chitra was about to say something but Maya started calling her .so she unwillingly left.
but Chitra's words created deep thought in Durdhara's mind
Durdhara : kintu hum bhi to ascharya hai k hum Chandragupt pr apne se bhi adhik viswas kaise karne lage hai....
Masasaga
Chandragupt and Digvijay with their friends ran to the direction where Dakshita heard the Greeks had taken Shreemati..but they were getting obstacles on their way again and again.as they had to hide whenever Greek soldiers are being seen..Digvijay was really becoming impatient now.
Digvijay : hey iswar kahin humein pohuchne mein vilamb na ho jaye..kahin vo dust yavan mere Shreemati ko koi hani na pohuchaye
Dakshita : Digvijay chinta na karo hum samay rehte avashya pohuch jayenge..karan hum un yavano k vartalap se jitna suna hai sikandar ne ratri k purv apne yavan senapatio ko shibir mein pravesh karne k anumati nhi diya..isi karan yadi hum ratri se purv pohuch paye to avashya Shreemati ko bacha lenge..
Chandragupt was busy in asking people by showing Shreemati's portrait drawn by Durdhara..but answers were almost all negative..many people were horrified and doubtful to them , many ignored many genuinely didn't know..he was really tensed now
Chandragupt (in mind) : hey iswar koi bhi ye nhi bata raha hai k Shreemati ko kis disha mein le jaya gaya hai..ab Digvijay k sahayata kaise kare..in yavano k bhai ne logo k man mein aisa asar kiya k vo hum pr sandeh kar rahe hai ..aur ye yavan sainik charo taraf phaile huye hai..kare to kare kya
only then some Greek soldiers surrounded them...
Soldiers : hey how dare you all moving freely here..we are arresting you
Digvijay : hey iswar ek aur naya sankat utpann ho gaya
Chandragupt : mitron humare sanket miltehi tum sab palayan karoge
Aditya : kintu kya aise kapurusho k bhati palayan karna uchit hoga??
Chandragupt : hum inse yudh karke samay nasht nhi kar sakte
the Greeks became impatient watching them talking to themselves
A soldier pushed Chandragupt
Soldier : hey what are you talking about ?? just follow our words..
Chandragupt just pushed the soldier with full force and the soldier fell from horse..for a moment other soldiers attention got distracted and Chandragupt ran Rangini in the lightening speed..other friends also pushed the soldiers and followed Chandragupt..the soldiers managed themselves and followed them..but Chandragupt and his friends in the meantime got disappeared..they hided behind some small tribal huts..the soldiers came there in search of them..and started making noise..hearing their voice a very old woman came out..the soldiers asked her about Chandragupt and his friends..but she denied to see anyone like them..when she kept giving negative answers again and again..out of rage a soldier raised sword to kill her..watching that Chandragupt was about to come out from his place..but he was stopped by Dakshita and Shashank
Chandragupt ; are jane do humein..hum apne ankhon k sammuk a asahay vridha k hatya hote huye nhi dekh payenge
Shashank : kintu yadi tum is samay unke sammukh gaye to yudh hona anibarya hai aur humein pohuchne bhi vilamb ho jayenge..
but before anyone could say anything else..another soldier stopped the one..
Soldier : this woman will die in few days..no need to kill her..let's find in other direction..
other soldiers supported him and they left..after they disappeared Chandragupt and his friends comes out..and the old woman got frightened seeing them..Chandragupt tried to make her relax
Chandragupt : bhai na kijiye mate..hum aapko koi kshati nhi pohuchayenge..hum yahan kisike sahayata karne k liye aye hai
old woman (gathering courage) : kaun ho tum sab..kya tum wahi ho jinhe vo yavan sandhan kar rahe hai??kya tumhe prano k bhai nhi hai?? kyun aye ho yahan??
Digvijay (impatiently) : hum assakenaya pradhan k putri Shreemati ko in yavono k rakshita hone ke hathonse raksha karne aye hain..kya aap jante hai vo yavan Shreemati ko kahan le gaye hai..
the old woman's face got brightened
old woman : tum sab humare pradhan k putri ko bachane aye ho?? hum iswar se yehi prarthana karte the k hamare Shreemati k samman k raksha karna..lagta hai iswar ne hamare sun li aur tumhe prerit kiya..jao putron vilamb na karo..vo dakshin k disha mein gaya hai..jao jake bacha lo..use..
Chandragupt and his friends didn't waste time any more and ran the horses towards the direction that old lady showed..
when Chandragupt and his friends reached to the Greek Camp of general Sirus..evening was grasping everything to its hold..it was easy for them to hide themselves in that darkness..there were only 4-5 horses roaming outside the camp..
Chandragupt : prateet hote hai senapati Sirus abtak shibir mein pravesh nhi kiya..aur shibir mein baht hi kam yavan sena hai..yehi uchit samay hai
Ghanghor : to kya unpr akraman karein??
Chandragupt : nhi akraman nhi..chhal se unko kabu mein karna padega..Dakshita tumhe gyat haina kya karna hai??
Dakshita : avashya
Chandragupt : tumhare sanket miltehi hum Shibir mein pravesh karenge..
Dakshita goes towards the camp..watching her roaming one Greek guard reached near to her ..she ran..the guard chased her..and as he held Dakshita..she bites her..he falls and dies at once..after watching him not returning other guard also goes to find him and meets the same fate..Dakshita then gives a whistle like snake which is understood as her signal..and Chandragupt and Digvijay along with Dakshita entered into the camp..other friends remained outside to prevent the soldiers from outside....other tents had some few soldiers..as Greeks were absorbed in the pleasure of their victory ..they didn't think anyone can attack them like this..so they didn't feel the necessity of protecting an army general's camp when he was not there..they knew the imprisoned girl has no capability of running away neither anyone will come to save her..so Chandragupt and Digvijay took this opportunity of their over confidence..and stabbed the remaining soldiers and hided their bodies..Dakshita kept searching for Shreemati in the tents and at last she entered into the biggest tent which was supposedly army general's tent..and she shouted
"Chandragupt , Digvijay .yahan ao"
both the friends ran towards the tent..and entering there they found a girl lying on the bed..most probably unconscious..the girl is around 16..undoubtedly beautiful but was looking pale for obviously the past few days incidents but she was none else than the girl of the portrait ..Shreemati..Digvijay almost ran towards her and took her face in palms..Dakshita a bit consciously examined her and got relaxed to see not a single scratch on her body
Digvijay : Shreemati..ankhein kholo..dekho hum a gaye hai..ab chinta k koi baat nhi..hum tumhe Abhisar le jane k liye aye hai...Shreemati dekho humare taraf ..
Dakshita : Digvijay uttejit na ho..Shreemati madak k karan murchit hai..humein un vandini kanyao k shibir mein dekha..kaise unhe jal k sthan pr trishna mitane k liye madak ke sevan karwaya jate the..take vo nasha k ahos mein rahe aur unhe le jane k samay badhadan na kar paye
Chandragupt : han Durdhara ko bhi to un yavanone madak sevan karwane k chesta kia tha..kintu Durdhara madyapan nhi kiya..Digvijay humare paas adhik samay nhi hai...chalo Shreemati ko le chalte hai..
Dakshita : tum dono Shreemati ko leke us vridha mai k ghar pr pohucho aur humare pratiksha karo..
Chandragupt : kintu kyun?? tum yahan kyun rukoge??
Dakshita : jab senapati yahan ayenge to Shreemati ko yahan na dekhke unhe sandeh hoga aur yadi vo humare paschadhavan kiya to hum vipta mein a jayenge..isi karan tum log Shreemati ko leke jao..hum us senapati k ek nari ko apne rakshita banane k chesta karne ka uchit dand deke ate hai..ab jao vilamb na karo..
Chandragupt : dhyan rakhna apna...chalo Digvijay..
Digvijay lifted Shreemati in his arms and left the camp along with Chandragupt..Dakshita placed herself in the place of Shreemati covering her face with cloth..
reaching to his friends Chandragupt asked them to leave for that old lady's home..
Digvijay : aur Chandragupt tum nhi chaloge??
Chandragupt : nhi hum yahin Dakshita k pratiksha karenge..hum use liye bina yahanse nhi ja sakte..
Shashank : Chandragupt yadi tumhare sthan pr hum Dakshita k sahayata k liye ruke to??
listening to him Aditya and Ghanghor smiled at each other..Sukant and Airavat was also expecting something like that..but Chandragupt was shocked..
Chandragupt : Shashank tum Dakshita k liye pratiksha karoge??? (remembering his fight with Dakshita)
Shashank : han vo kya hai k Digvijay aur Shreemati ko tumhare sahayata k adhik avashyakta hai ..karan Dakshita to swayam saksham hai is sthan se palayan karne mein..
Chandragupt was hesitant but Digvijay was in hurry to move Shreemati from there..
Digvijay : Chandragupt , Shashank thik keh raha hai..
other friends too supported Digvijay..so Chandragupt left leaving Shashank and Dakshita there
just few minutes after they disappeared ..the general Sirus along with his army reached to the tent...he was a bit surprised to see no guards in front of tent..but didn't care much as they have just won the battle..so it was obvious that everyone was enjoying to the fullest..Sirus was in a hurry to meet the girl he got as prize..so he didn't look at anything before entering into the tent..he reached to the bed where Dakshita was sleeping in the place of Shreemati..Sirus gave an evil smark
Sirus : so pretty princess i am your master now.so i will be the first to end your virginity.come please me...he helds Dakshita's hand and pulls her
Dakshita (removing her face cover) : yeah i was also waiting for you..(she knew parsian from Chanakya)
Sirus never got such shock in his life..
Sirus : who are you??how did you come here??and where is the girl ??
Dakshita : you will never ever reach to her..she is safe and far away from you..i was waiting to for you to say that you are.lost..
Sirus jumped to catch Dakshita but Dakshita swiftly moved..
Sirus : girl do you think you can leave this camp alive?? if you want your life then tell me where is the girl??
Dakshita : you better care for your life..because..you will never get her..and if you won't let me go..then you can't imagine what will happen with you..
Sirus (becoming blind in anger) : oh being a weak girl you are challenging me??now i will teach you the lesson..you will be caged here instead of the girl..
Dakshita tried to move away but before that Sirus caught her hand and threw her on the bed..
Dakshita (trying to sit back) : i am telling you last time let me go..otherwise Sikandar will lose one of his brave army general for nothing..
Sirus again gave an evil smirk and jumped on Dakshita pressing her with the bed..his face came closer to her..Dakshita was waiting for the opportunity..she within a blink bite on his neck..the poison mixed with his blood..and Sirus took his last breath within few minutes..
Dakshita smiles victoriously ad leaves the tent..all soldiers were engrossed in wine..so they didn't notice her on the first place..she comes out of the camp from a back way..and reached near the hose..and just got amused to see Shashank is waiting for her..
Dakshita : Shashank tum?? tum humare liye pratiksha kar rahe the??
Shashank : kyun koi anuchit karya kiya kya??
Dakshita : tum saralta se humare prashna k uttar nhi de sakte
Shashank : isse purv yavan humein vandi banale humare prasthan karna uchit hoga..uttar to hum baad mein bhi de sakte hai..
Dakshita : han to humein kaunse yahan rehne k ichha hai..chalo
both rided on the horse..
Shashank : aise us yavan ne tum pr akraman to nhi kiya..
Dakshita : aisa duhsahas dikhane k pratiphal bhi use mil chuka hai..ab tak nark k aag mein jwal raha hoga..
both Shashank and Dakshita laughs while running their horse towards the old lady's huts
