PART 5
************************************************************ *************************
Back in Sabhri Haveli, King Puru and Queen Devi spend the whole afternoon trying to plot a shadyantra to kill Kasturi🤓🤓🤓. They are both pacing up and down the palace dining room🤓🤓. Suddenly they hear the Palace chef Nandoo, shouting at a kitchen help "Kaise kaam kar rahe ho, badaam ke ladoos mein sugar aur cardamom ke bajay baking soda and mustard mila diya. If I give it to the royal family they will call it zehar". And suddenly Queen Devi gets an idea😎. She speaks about it to King Puru, who nods his head in agreement😉😆. They both look at each other and nod their heads "Hmmn"😎…and they both set-out dressed as peasants to meet Kasturi😉.
On their way they stop at Tantrik Shakulee's kothi and ask her to give them a most potent poison😈. Apart from the necessary tantrik vidya (knowledge), Tantrik Shakulee, is famous for creating masks. She opens the door and King Puru and Queen Devi are stunned to see her. Tantrik Shakulee's face has been painted in various colours of the rainbow. King Puru and Queen Devi are speechless, but fascinated seeing the splash of colours😲.
Tantrik Shakulee, "😃Oh mein mar java, the King and Queen at my humble doorstep. I never knew such high society people will come here. ....Oh sorry highest society.....oh oh sorry the ultimate society". Queen Devi, "Its ok. Tantrik Shakulee, we need you to create a most potent poison to kill a do takke ki ladki called Kasturi". As instructed😈, Tantrik Shakulee creates the poison 😈out of the herbs of rare jadibootis, which have been got from 15 haunted mansions in 15 far away lands👏👏. The Tantrik adds the poison to some badaam ke laddoos and gives it to the Queen. "Oh Queen, yeh hain badaam ke ladoo bina kisi sugar, par asal mein hain maut ke saudagar. Isse khaate hi, Kasturi ki jaan chali jayegi. Ha ha ha ha"😈😈😈. King Puru and Queen Devi are pleased and take the laddoos. Queen Devi, "Tantrik Shakulee, you will be suitably remunerated. ….we need one more assistance. We are dressed as old peasants….Uff I have to wear this cotton stuff, you know my skin is allergic to cotton😭. I am used to only wearing exquisites silks with a little bit of embroidery…..". King Puru politely coughs and says "My Queen the game of Chequers, we need to hurry". The Queen is upset 😡😡at being interrupted but lets it pass "Oh Yes, Tantrik Shakulee we need masks that can make us look older..Uffff".
Tantrik Shakulee is delighted at the opportunity 😛to demonstrate her painting talent and gain more rewards. She picks up a paint palette, and before King Puru and Queen Devi can say "Lenge Pratishodh hum Lenge Pratishodh" Tantrik Shakulee, with bold swift strokes paints the faces of the King and the Queen😆. King Puru and Queen Devi study their reflection in the mirror...and are both horrified , but again fascinated😲😲. There are a dozen colors on their face, but somehow they have blended to create the wrinkles and face of old peasants😲😲. Pleased with the painted masks Queen Devi and King Puru reward Tantrik Shakulee with 2000 gold coins and a moti-haar😛. Tantrik Shakulee is so thrilled at receiving the Rani's moti-haar😛. Then, Queen Devi and King Puru leave and taking the quickest way into the forest, they reach the farm house unseen, just as Kasturi is waving goodbye to Prince Robbie😉.
After some time, Kasturi is in the kitchen when she hears the sound at the door: "Knock Knock!". "Who's there?" Kasturi asks suspiciously, remembering Prince Robbie's advice😳.. "We are old farmers on our way from a tirath yatra (holy trip) from Benaras. Bahut der se chal rahe the, isiliye thak gayen hain. Thoda aaram karne ke liye aapke farm house ke verandeh mein baith sakte hain kya" came the reply. Kasturi, relaxes.... thinking that bechare old log hain, she tells them to please do sit on the verandah. The King and Queen however, are wondering how do we make her eat the badaam laddoos😈. Queen Devi asks "Betiiii, thoda paani milega". Kasturi offers glasses of water through the window😊. Queen Devi says "Beti why don't you open the door?" "I'm not supposed to open the door to anyone," said Kasturi, who was reluctant to disobey Prince Robbie's instruction to not to talk to strangers, for strangers are dangers. Queen Devi is irritatated 😡😡but replies "And quite right Beti. One cannot trust strangers. But as a reward for your kindness, we want to give you our ashirwad".
Kasturi was overwhelmed 😊and so thadaamm!!!!!!, she innocently opens the door. Both King Puru and Queen Devi, give her their ashirwaad, with crossed fingers😆😆😆, while Kasturi is bowing down. Then King Puru says "Beti, for your kindness, we are going to give you these badaam laddoos". Kasturi says "Iski kya zaroorat hai"😳. "Arey, nahi nahi beti, bas thode se hi hain. Ek khaa kar to dekho", King Puru replied😈. Kasturi says "Nahi Dadaji aap inhe leke jaiye, raaste mein kaam ayenge. You will feel hungry on your journey". Queen Devi immediately says "Beti please refuse mat karo, khao, khao, khao😈…areyy khao naa😡". Kasturi gratefully bit into the badaam laddoo, "Chomp chomp chomp" and as she did………well nothing happened to her😆.
Kasturi says, "Wowwwwwww, what delicious laddoos, can I have one more, Dadiji". Queen Devi is wondering how come the poison filled laddoos don't have any effect. Then, she thinks, maybe Tantrik Shakulee did not mix the poison properly in all the laddoos. So she urges Kasturi to eat one more. One by one Kasturi eats 14 laddoos😆, phir bhi kuch nahi hua😆. Queen Devi and King Puru are now exasperated😆. But suddenly then, as Kasturi bites into the 15th laddoo, he he he ha ha ha, she falls to the ground in a faint: the effect of the terrible poison leaving her lifeless instantaneously. 😭
Now chuckling evilly, Queen Devi says "Dekha Kasturi, game wohi khelna chaiye jiski aadat ho ha ha ha. Isey kehte hai, game complete honey se pehle, over and out.😈😈😈" King Puru interrupts her "Apni jeet ki khushi baad mein manao Devi, pehle socho iska kya Karen". Both think what should be done and then Eureka Eureka, 😛they decide to throw Kasturi in the stream flowing behind the farm house. They drag Kasturi's lifeless body and throw her in the stream. "Ha Ha Ha Kasturi, Ab Robbie hamara hai sirf aur sirf hamara he he ha ha ha😈😈😈" 🥳🥳🥳King Puru and Queen Devi laugh wickedly. 😈😈😈
