PART-4

Alexandar's words put Chandragupta into tension. He didn't think about this possibility.

CGM : will emperor continue to proceed the expedition towards Magadh??..but i heard something else about your plan..

Alex : what did you hear??

CGM : in Taksashila i heard rumors that Greek soldiers wants to return back to their homeland...they don't want to go forward further towards east..

for a while Alexandar silently gazed towards Chandra. this young warrior's intelligence is really impressive...

Alex : hmm i noticed that you have gathered enough news about my plans...and your guess is not wrong..its true my soldiers became tired by fighting wars one after another...and may be i have to return from the bank of hidaspis at present..as no battle can be fought with such strength less army...but i will come back again..Hindustan mesmerized me with all its beauty, wealth, bravery and knowledge...to conquer her has become my dream ..and i will come to fulfill my dream

Chandra lost into deep thought for some moments...and then his firm confident voice came from the deepest of his heart

CGM : emperor if you come back then you would get to see me again..

Alex : where??

CGM : on the bank of Jhilum

Alexandar could understand the meaning of CGM's words and laughed amusingly...

Alex : well then i will take the practical test of your strategy ..specially what you have learn from me..

now Chandra gave a sweet and innocent smile which made his face more loveable to look at.
throughout the conversation Alexandar was holding the golden glass of wine without drinking it...now he offered the drink to Chandragupta..

Alex : though you are my prisoner but you are a prince..you must be greeted properly..so take it...

CGM : my apologies to you my lord..i can't accept this..because i don't drink..

Alexandar was astonished by hearing this...CGM's words seems new to him...

Alex : what are saying?? royal blood is flowing through your vein and you don't drink??how can it be possible??

CGM : no emperor...my childhood spent in a state of poverty...when my father died in a battle against Dhananand i was in mother's womb then my mother Mura flee to a forest named Pippaliban with her brother..there were lots of peacocks among whom i was born and brought up...that's why my name is Chandragupta Maurya ..i used to graze cattle with other cowboys of Pippalivan..one day my life got a new turn when i met my acharya Chanakya...i don't know hat he noticed in me...but he bought me from those cowherds by paying prices with his hard-earned money and released me from the life of a shephered boy..thus a new journey of mine began...from then i am a servant of my teacher...so i never get a chance to get a habit of drinking wine...

Alexandar was listening to each and every word of Chandragupta with great attention and seriousness on his face...then finished the wine himself and heaved a sigh...

Alex : your life is full of diversity..through such strange situation and difficulties a genuine person can be made...may be you would make the work possible...what i couldn't..

CGM : (was surprised) : what are you talking about emperor??does there anything exist on this earth which is impossible to the world-conqueror emperor Sikandar??

Alexandar smiled again...but this time it was a melancholic smile ...

Alex : i am not god Sandras..every human being has their weakness..i got win over half of the world...but couldn't win myself...this wine...yes addiction towards the wine defeated me...i couldn't get rid of my own weakness...

Alexandar poured wine into the glass again and finished it off...both became speechless...emperor lost into his thoughts..Chandra first time felt this world-conqueror warrior is so alone, helpless and nonplussed in front of his own weakness...as if he is another Sikandar.in his heart a feeling of sympathy grown for him...the silence of the tent made the atmosphere suffocating...at last CGM broke the silence..

CGM : (was about to stand up)...so now give me permission to leave my lord..i have to go..

Alexandar regained his consciousness ...he stared towards the face of Chandra as if had never seen him before..then suddenly burst into laughter...for a while a feeling of self-reproach occupied his mind which went away...

Alex : you will leave??..how can you leave??you are a prisoner..

CGM : but my lord

Alex : I know what will you say...you didn't fight but still i have authority to arrest you and i did it...and this is my last decision that i won't let you go...

If there would have a thunderstorm in the tent Chandra won't be in such a stage of shock..

lovely update jhum, it seems so nice to think chandragupta as only chandra, & all d dialogs, so casual & so natural, absolutely no trace of ego 4m alexander's side,even though he's d king & CG's d prisoner at dat moment... feels as if dey r just our next door neighbours, isnt it??
