AN INEVITABLE WAR: THE ORION Vs EMERALDS OF FATHERLY BOND
...He narrated the whole story...no, it's not just some words...it's a heart-breaking weapon!
The COMPANIONLESS MOON is ME!! Acharya was responsible for Durdhara's demise!!!
He used to mix a little bit poison in my food so that I could gain immunity against any poison-attack. Being unaware of that terrific fact, I fed Durdhara my food &...the tragedy took place...
"Hum aapko kabhi skhama nehi karenge Veer...kabhi nehi...kabhi bhi nehi.aap ne...hume hamare santaan se alog kiya...humari ye jeevan toh samapt hone ko hay...(she uttered a moan full of grief)...par mrityu ke baad bhi, aur agle janam me bhi aapko humse skhama nehi milega...Ahhh...(she was shivering in pain as well as anger)
"Dhara!"...I was about to rush towards her, but she firmly stopped me,"Rahene dijiye aap Veer,humare paas aane ke koi zarurat nehi."
"Dhara, mujhe tumhare paas aane do Dhara.kripa karo mujhe...main tumhare kast laghav karne ka pura prayas karunga..."
"Aap ke paas aane ki sufal hum degh bhi chuke hay, bhukt bhi chuke hain-aap dur hi rahe humse...ye hamari akhri icha hay..."
"Dhara, viswas karo mera..."
"viswas!...aap us shabd ka upprayag na kare- toh hi acha hay...aap hume kiya viswas karne ko kaha rahe hain??...ehi na ki Acharya ni aapko bhojan me vish milene ki vishay me ek shabd bhi gyat nehi karaya!...humari baat chor dijiye...
aapko hi kiya ye viawas ho raha hay??" "My dead heart don't know what to do...
It still wants to get alive with your warmth
But...the light of truth darkens its leafy desire...
...Now, it's the time to bid adieu forever...
Sunbeam or iceberg- what awaits us beyond this world??"
..The above conservation wasn't materialized. It's my nightmare. Durdhara knew nothing. She thought- somebody wanted to kill me through poisoned food. She considered herself quite fortunate that she was successful to restore my life, though unknowningly. She breathed her last in my lap leaving that baby boy with Dhanand's daughter...
The horrible nightmare had been tormenting me from that very day when Acharya enlightened me about the companionless moon...
"Belief is just an apparent word
Truth is so atrocious & loves to jeer...
I can't help depending on you
Though I want to sever."
...My heart tore apart to face the truth...he caused me such a great mental pain! He!! He who had a sudden visit on my wedding night with Nandini & tried to fortify me with all his effort...he pushed me to avoid the hit & stood still in my place...but Nandini was such a great tricker ( certainly for being such a devil's daughter) that she directed the knife in the changeable movement within that short & confusing moment!...& finally succeeded to hurt my right shoulder-the knife was big & sharp enough-the incoming wound wasn't a minor one. By the way for me, it's not a major one too...I'd overcome it.
...But surprisingly the flow of blood turned much more speedy as if my body would be bloodless within very few minutes!...holding my almost unconscious body in his anxioua arms, Acharya stated-"Tumhe kuch nehi hoga Chandragupt. Mere hote hue kisiko tumhe haani pauchaneki avsaar nehi diya jayega-wo jo koi bhi ho." Then he mumbled few words,CHAHE WO MAIN HI KYON NA HOON!
...I felt too weak to engulf such mysterious words.
But having such a powerful concern & great longing for me, how would he be responsible for one's death who's very close to me?!...why didn't he inform me before, such a horrible news?? WHY?? GOD...tell me why???
"The night is foggy violet
Dew drops share a warm hug with the pearls
Untold words perform a silent cry...
What if the eyes're deprived??
Uncertain colourful brine of ours
Forms an ocean full of compassion &...conquest!
...Melodious pain is greater king than me..."
Moreover, Bindusaar...my son, don't get apprehensive. You're grown up now. Hope you'll realise my feelings. I's too unfortunate to enjoy father's true love & fate, you're not exceptional...I'm happy that you'd consider me as your father leaving that painful address: MY MOTHER'S MURDERER...NANDINI GAVE YOU THAT VERY LESSON...isn't it??...actually she always tried to hurt me- but in a beautiful disguise...
Now, please realise your father's futility & let him die.
"I & my part...my part & I
Seemingly to be apart...but...
Our relation lies in frozen tears-
Just like the rainbow & the rain...
A bright beam makes difference be2n us."
ROYAL PALACE
The ultimate guiding light had a watery eye...It's 2nd time!
Yes, he was Acharya Chanakya. Just before a while Bindusaar conversed with him so boldly...
" Aap humare vansh ke ek kaalkut hay. pahele toh meri maa ki hatya kiya aur jab aaj main pitaji ke thora thora karib aaraha tha, aapne unhe bhi vivash kar diya Parineervan me jaane ke liye- kiya aap chahte toh pitaji ko nehi rok sakte the??-boliye, mere prasna ka uttar dijiye! dete kyon nehi??"
He stood speechless for the 1st time in his life. Bindu continued,"Rahe gaye na nischup?? uttar kuch hoga bhi, tob na denge? na jaane wo skhan kitna kharab aur swarthi tha...jab pitaji aap se mile the. na bhi hote wo AKHAND BHARAT KA PAHELA SAMRAT, AAPNA JEEVAN TOH THORA SUKH AUR SHANTI SE VYATIT KAR PATE NAA??"
Acharya closed his eyes...
"Life is a beautiful thorn
Likely to be a soft thunderstorm...
Full of ablaze brine with pink fire!
If you're in the ocean of tears or happiness
Or even of beam or snow...
...The only certain thing is uncertainty..."
He remembered Chandragupt's eyesight when he got hurt by Nandini- so dependent,so overwhelmed, so love-longing...but getting weaker moment by moment!! WHY??
Because...HE WAS A SUFFERER OF HAEMOPHILIA...
...such a disease whose main symptom is to prohobite clotting of blood in a wounded organ- whatever minor the wound is! This is an in-born disease which starts to affect a person after 20...eventually Acharya was unaware of it. But Mihika, the captain of Samrat's female army? She should take a drastic protection for Chandragupt...what's she doing??
Mihika was found missing in the palace!...getting more & more anxious, Acharya couldn't decide how to comfort Chandragupt. His bleeding unwantedly turned unceasing & uncontrollable...he lied senseless...for a while or FOREVER??
...There's only one way...the acute, aggrieved, really surprising but rosy & celestial too...what's it??...A NEWS...
