CHAPTER 6 : A POSSIBLE WAY OUT
She opened her eyes, it was complete dark not even a single beam of light could be seen. She got up and tried to walk. But as she took her first step ahead a voice was heard, "Aryaputra". Panchi stopped where she was, "Who is that? Is someone there?". She turned around but found no one and since it was completely dark she thought it was just a mere imagination of the brain and continued on her way. "Tehro, me sutaputra se vihvah nahi karoongi", again a voice echoed in the environment. Panchi shivered in fear, "Look whoever is that stay away from me", Panchi shouted to warn the voice. "Govind", again a voice came cutting through the air. "Where?", Panchi said with a sparkle in her eyes. She looked around but neither found Govind nor the person whose voice she was hearing. "Govind... Aryaputra... Mata... Putron...", the voice was becoming louder with each word. Panchi's head started to burst with pain, "Stop! Stop! Stop...".

"How could you Govind! How could you just leave Panchi behind. And now, she is trapped, my sister is trapped in that pyramid for two week with the sorrows of her previous life. I don't even know what would she be facing there all alone", Dhrishtradyumna shouted on Govind. " Dhrishtradyumna . Believe me...", but before Govind could complete Dhrishtradyumna started again, "Don't just do you dare give reasons for your carelessness", he said so a stormed out of the room. "Bahi... I know you were not careless. Please forgive Dhrishtradyumna he is sad on his sister's condition", Subhi said. "I know Subhi. I know. I have no problem. I can understand his condition. I too have a sister", Govind said.
--
"Really! I didn't know that bahi", Paarth was almost shouting while speaking so that Yudhishtir could hear him. "Yes Paarth. Devika ji you really know bahi that well", Bheem asked Devika. The innocent Devika replied in a very polite manner, "Yes. Your bahi Yudhishtir bahi likes to keep his pens in the upper drawer and the files in the lower one. Strange! You didn't know that?". "Yes really I didn't know that", Bheem replied. "Well please excuse me. I have to talk to boss about his afternoon meeting", Devika said so and left to talk to Govind. "We have found a match for Yudhishtir bahiya!", Bheem said excitedly. "Wedding bells to ring", Paarth replied with equal interest.

"Look I am warning you the last time. I don't care who you are. But come in front. Don't say all these words like aryaputra, putron, mata, and especially Govind don't you dare call my friends name with you foolish tongue", Panchi shouted with full energy. Just then, she saw some light coming from back, she turned around. "When did it came! It was not here just a few second ago", Panchi said as she started to move towards the fire. But as she tried to keep her foot ahead she realised that she was frozen. "I cannot walk", Panchi said, she was frightened now. And then started the heavenly announcement again, "Yeh hai tumhari putri Drupad, devtaon ne iska naam Krishnaa rakha hai. Agni se janmi hai iss kaaran yeh Yagyaseni kehlayegi. Sansar me tumhara smaran iske naam se hoga, yeh Draupadi kahi jaayegi". And just as the voice closed a woman's figure could be clearly seen in between the fire. "Drau... Drau... Draupadi", Panchi said, she was now completely frightened. "A woman walking out of fire", Panchi said with her eyes popping out. "But who is it?", Panchi's query was soon resolved as she saw the face of the lady. "It is ... m...m... me", Panchi broke into tears as she saw herself walking out of flame. She could not hold the truth for a long time and collapsed on the floor.

"Bahi! I found a way out for helping Panchi", Subhi came running. "What! Really", Govind and Dhrishtradyumna got up together with the same words. "Yes. If we are able to rearrange the words in the Messenger Scroll into the spell to open the Pyramid of Sorrows we will be able to rescue Panchi", Subhi said excitedly. "But how did you find it!", Dhrishtradyumna asked. "Don't you think it is more important to find the spell first rather than to know how I found I", Subhi said as she got on the work.
--
"Devika. Did my brother ask anything", Yudhishitr asked. "No. They are quite sweet I must say", Devika replied. "Devika. We have to keep our relationship a secret till the appropriate time comes. I don't want to ruin everything up in excitement", Yudhishtir explained. "I understand and completely agree as well. I am always with you", Devika said. "Meet you in the conference", Yudhishtir said as they parted ways.
--
"I got it", Govind shouted out of excitement. "Then recite it bahi", Subhi said. "Yes why not", Govind said and recited the spell. And as the spell was completed the Pyramid of Sorrows appeared in the gardens of the Broken Spell. "Run before it disappears again", Dhrishtradyumna shouted as he gathered speed. They all reached pyramid and found the gate open to it. They entered and found Panchi unconscious. "Dhrishtradyumna hold her and take her out", Govind commanded. Both the brother of Panchi brought her out and made her lie in a tree's shade. "Govind", Panchi called. "Yes dear!", Govind rushed back to her. "I want to talk to someone", Panchi said as she was regaining consciousness. "Who is it?", Govind said though he was well aware whose name Pachi was going to take. "Paarth...", Panchi replied.
