Second Part
"Devi..wake up.. Are you okay??" His voice woke me up ..I was still dumbstruck.. I was pretty sure..this was all set up and culprits could be my friends..
"Okay..this is candid camera right..." I stood up..quite angrily..
"You know this is not funny...where is your camera hidden... oh this must be my friends idea.. I know get it... they are all going to pay for this... You know na it is not funny..." I said it all in one go..and then realised he was probably not understanding a word of what i said..
"Okay now stop acting you.. I know you are not Karna but some actor right...what kind of clothes you are wearing..I am sure Karna wont wear these... it look so plain and simple..atleast they could have bought some good jewellery along..huh..these people"
I didnt realise but for past 5 minutes..I was constantly speaking..accusing my friends...ridiculing his claim to be what he said...and then I had given him a good description of karna too.. But the man was simply looking at me like a confused at same time amused soul..
My eyes fell on him again.. his face was very heavenly..not of this era perhaps.. he had this calmness on his face...at same time..his eyes were sad.. as if wanted to tell me something that must have took all these thousand years..
"Are you real..." I was scared at the same time curious to know.. He was someone who was not of this era perhaps.. His body language..his appearance truely a warrior like...
"What you think Devi.." He asked.. quite surprised by my question...
"What are you doing here... I mean you died so many years ago.. I mean I read you died.. You were shot with some arrow something.. You know right... I mean..."
He smiled at me.. and suddenly that smile was replaced by a sadness..
"Yes I died long ago... but people keep bringing me to life every now and then..."
It was long silence between us.. I was hesitant and scared at same time...Could this be really true.. or Am i dead.. that I am seeing him in heaven...
"You come here everyday at sunset to pray.."
He smiled again and looked at setting sun.. and said softly to me.. "Yes..this is where I find peace.."
"So You here on tour from heaven.." I almost laughed on my own statement and conversation I was having with a hero of mine from another yug...Oh yes ..He was here in front of me... And somewhere I was still coming to terms with this fact...
"This place is not the same i feel... " He was still looking at sunset...
"Yeah we have had lot of changes since dwapar yug.." I said in a serious tone explaining him what this yug is...how aryavart he was living in..changed..and this was new culture and space he was in... ( I usually blabber a lot )
To my surprise he was silently listening...and may be in some deep thoughts...like he had known this all along..
His silence irked me... as I wanted to hear his voice again.. and that could only happen if I stop talking..So i stopped..and just stared at him...He was still looking at horizon...
"Nothing has changed much... Its pretty much still the same... " He was in deep thoughts..contradicting his early statement..May be he was confused like me...
"But we dont ride on horses these days..." i uttered out of innocence on his last lines... but soon ..I saw him bursting into laughter...
He was laughing..and it was such a pleasant sight... That brought me into silly grin position...I didnt realise i was smiling and staring at him... Atleast I made him smile... This evening was far from being over...I had not realised that sun had already set in... His face was bringing much light around me...
