Part 4

I don't know for how long I was unconscious, but it was long enough for my self-healing powers to kick in. I had purposely stopped them from kicking in as I wanted to die, but they had kicked in and under the bandages, I could feel the skin stitching itself back together. I opened my eyes and saw that I was very much alive and in a make-shift tent. There was no one around just then. I wondered if I had imagined the voice? I must have since, if it was indeed Mahir then he would be with me right now. Someone must have saved me. The one who had saved me, had also managed to rescue my phone. It was now lying near me on the bed. I picked it up and saw nearly a 100 missed calls and messages from Vish, Vikrant, and Juhi. Dawn was just breaking over the horizon. I had been gone for hours.

I did not know where I was so I used Google Maps to track my location and I sent that location to Vish and Juhi. In moments like these, I was grateful for human inventions. I limped outside the tent. My injuries were extensive enough that I was still limping. I spotted a man sitting near the fire, warming himself. I called out to him.

"Hey! Did you save me from the fire?

He did not respond. I called out once again

"Hey! Did you save me from the fire?

This time he turned around, but his sweatshirt's hood was up and so I couldn't see his face. I held out my hand to him.

"Thank you! I said.

As he took my hand, his hood fell off and looking back at me was Mahir. I stumbled a bit and he caught me. He swiftly picked me up and carried me back to the tent. I gazed at him in wonder. My Mahir was alive. He was actually alive. I could think of nothing else. We were inside the tent by then. He gently placed me on the bed and offered me some water. He muttered something about calling the doctor and was about to leave when I held him back.

"Mahir...

"Who? Ma'am, I am Krish. I saved you from the fire. Who is this Mahir?

I looked at him in horror. Krish? But how was that possible? He looked exactly like Mahir. But as I observed him, his voice matched Mahir's but his way of talking, the careless way in which he said ma'am was not Mahir. My Mahir would have never spoken with me in that manner. He wrenched his hand away from my hand and I watched him mutely as he went out and came back with the doctor.

"What is your name? the doctor asked me.

I told her my name. I knew the inevitable question was coming. Why was I trapped between the wall like a freaking Anarkali? And I knew I had no answer to that question. The doctor was very kindly asking whether it was hurting anywhere. But I was distracted by a lone figure pacing around in that cramped tent, clearly agitated. Finally he turned around an d abruptly asked me Who was he? Who was that bas***d who did that to you?

The anger and the intensity in his voice were such that I felt scared. "No idea. I whispered. "He swore under his breath. In one swift motion he was at my side "Listen you need not hide anything from me. You can tell us. For some reason his concern irritated me. I was sure that he was not my Mahir. And since that was the case, I felt extremely angry that he had saved me, thus keeping me away from my husband. I looked at him with intense dislike. "Look, I know what you have been through... I mean the doctor has checked and she found traces of... I mean she... We know what that bas***d did to you... I looked at him puzzled. Now what was he talking about?

The doctor, very kindly laid a hand on my shoulder and asked me if anyone had abused me sexually as she had found some traces on my body. I shook my head. "No. I was with my husband. I don't know how I reached that building, or who were the people who tried to kill me.

Most of the times looking dazed and confused worked.

"Do you want us to contact your husband? the doctor asked. I shook my head. My husband was dead and... This Krish guy was looking at me and that irritated me.What the hell are you looking at? I snapped at him.

"Hello! Normally people say thank you for saving their lives. He said. "I have already thanked you once. Saying this I tried to get up and walk away. As I tried to walk past him, he held my hand to stop me. "What the hell? Leave my hand! I shouted at him. He dropped my hand and looked at the doctor helplessly. I knew I was being rude and ungrateful just then, but for some reasons I hated him for being alive when my Mahir was not. I wished Vish and Juhi would come soon. I stubbornly limped outside, and went to sit on the bench where I had found him sitting. The doctor had followed me outside. She tried to talk to me when I spotted Vish and Vikrant hurrying towards me. I ran towards them and hugged Vish as Vikrant looked past me in horror. He was about to go towards Krish but I stopped him. "He is Krish, not Mahir. He saved me. Let's go I will tell you everything.

I almost dragged Vish and Vikrant away from that place. I couldn't bear the sight of that man. As we walked away, I told them all that had happened to me in the last few hours. Both were upset when I told them that I did not wish to live any longer. I told them that I had done my duty towards the Naag vansh. Mani was safe and sound. I had done my bit. Anyways my people deserved a whole Naagrani not a broken one. Vish looked like she wanted to argue but Vikrant stopped her. When we reached the Aghori Baba's cave ma and Juhi nearly suffocated me with their hugs. Even Agori baba and Naag Guruji looked relieved to see me safe and sound. They were shocked to hear my story.

They had another bit of bad news for me. Suddenly everyone was revolting against me. They, as in my subjects were refusing to recognize me as their Naagrani. They were all under the impression that I had used the Mani for selfish gains since Aghori baba and others had refused to tell the whereabouts of the Naagmani and me. Everyone who knew about the cave was honour bound to keep its existence a secret as no one other than the queen's inner circle was supposed to know about it. I was beyond all emotions by now but one thing was clear, it was all a well thought out plan. None of this was random. The plan was simple. If I was dead (read if I were to suddenly disappear) then Sumitra and her minions, who I am very sure were behind this sudden revolt, would prove that I had run away with the Mani. I was also sure that they had a backup queen to place in my place. But before I disappeared for good, they had to get the location of the Mani from me so that their Minion queen could claim to have saved it from me.

It also made sense why Mahir was killed. Humans were considered the ultimate enemies of snakes and we all thought that human beings were greedy and selfish. Which was kind of true but my experience had taught me that there were some like Mahir as well. So, the reason why Mahir was killed was, they wanted to prove that me and my human husband had run away with the Mani for our own selfish reasons. So, they first killed Mahir and then they attempted to kill me. Well, the first part of their plan had succeeded but the second part had failed miserably. I was very much alive and had a fair idea about their plans. Now I could counter them to some extent. I shared my insights with everyone and they agreed, especially Vikrant. He was sure that his mother would stoop to any levels to get the Mani. So with a fair idea of what was happening, we decided to go to the cave where Naagmani was generally kept. That cave was known to everyone but, only a handful of people
(read, queen's inner circle) were allowed inside. So we hurried on to that cave. I expected everything to be exactly as we had left, but a few things had changed.

As soon as I entered, I spotted Chomu and Teddy sitting there grinning cheekily at me. Even more astonishing was the fact that they both were unscathed. I wondered how they had reached the cave in first place? I rushed forward and picked them up and hugged them tightly. When I finally of let go of them everyone else was looking at me like I had lost it. And I didn't blame them. If my sister or friend suddenly began hugging and talking to stuffed toys like they were humans then even I would be suspicious that she had lost it. When I looked back at the place where Chomu had been kept, I noticed a shirt. It was Mahir's shirt from his Hulk nightdress. That was even more astonishing. I was about say something when Naag Guruji motioned for us to keep quiet and suddenly we were back in Aghori Baba's cave.

Naag Guruji had used his special powers to get us out of there fast. When questioned, he said he heard people approaching the cave. Although that was impossible, there was fair chance that the place had been taken over by the enemies. Although it was nearly impossible to contaminate Bholenath's temple, maybe the negative powers had managed to break the enchantments and enter the place. The presence that he had felt was not a very positive presence. Aghori Baba agreed with him. I suddenly remembered that Kuhu and Dad were not aware that Mahir is no more.

When I mentioned this, Vish told me that she had called them up and told them. She had also informed them of my disappearance and also that I had come back safe and sound. I knew I had to go to them. Vish and Vikrant offered to accompany me. I did not protest. Juhi and others remained in the cave that was the only safe house for all of us now. On the way to Sehgal House, we discussed how Chomu, Teddy and Hulk shirt reached the cave when clearly the cave was sealed and Mahir did not know the other way to the cave. And if Mahir had managed to reach there, then where was he?

As Vish was driving, a man suddenly came in front of our car. She applied emergency breaks and got down from the car to see who was that idiot. When Vish pulled him to his feet I shouted, " You? for the guy who had come in front of our car was none other than Krish. Even he had recognized me. "What is your problem, huh? In this whole freaking universe, you had to try to commit suicide in front of our car only? Couldn't you have chosen someone else's car? I asked him.

"Oh hello! Miss Ice Queen, it did not choose to come in front of your car, okay? he argued back. "It's just that some goons were chasing me, and so I was running away.

"Oh, really? Then where are those goons now? Did they vanish into the thin air?

"Listen you... I run very fast okay? Krish ko pakadana mushkil hi nahi, namumkin hai! Suddenly his eyes widened and before I could even react, he had thrown to one side and punched someone. Soon he was surrounded by some goons and he was bravely fighting them off. There were at least five of them, but he was holding his own in front of them. Suddenly one of them drew out a knife and attacked Krish with it. Wounded, Krish fell to the ground. They were about to stab him when Vikrant stepped in. Vish and I cautioned him but he was right. We couldn't leave this man to die or at their mercy. Later Vikrant reasoned that Krish had saved my life so he was just settling the scores but the truth was that Vikrant was learning to be compassionate. So Vikrant fought them off for a bit but when he realised that they were not backing off, he transformed into his Naag form, thus scaring the shit out of them.

After they had gone we turned to Krish who was bleeding freely from his wound and was unconscious. We lifted him to the car and decided to take them to the Sehgal House. It was extremely insensitive but that could not be helped. Dad and Kuhu were shocked to see Krish but Vish quickly explained that he was not Mahir. He was barely conscious. Dad told me to take him to my room as the guestroom was not properly dusted. I agreed reluctantly. Soon Krish was lying on my bed and I left the room ASAP as I didn't want to break down in front on a complete stranger. It was painful to see Mahir's look alike sleeping where my Mahir should have been.

Once downstairs I explained everything to Dad and Kuhu. Bultu was looking after baby Ruhi. I told them the best course of action would be to take baby out of the country till this mess got sorted. Safer for the baby and for them as well. Otherwise Sumitra would keep on using them to undermine me. I had already lost Mahir. I did not want to lose them at any cost. They were the only family I had left. Dad was a bit reluctant to leave me all alone immediately after Mahir's death but Kuhu agreed. She did not want to leave but, she was scared for Ruhi. We called Bultu downstairs and told him about the plans. He agreed to go and get his passport and other documents immediately. I helped Kuhu and Dad pack up their stuff and when Vikrant and Bultu returned I sent Vish and Vikrant with them to the airport. I promised to keep them in the loop and we finally bid goodbye to them.

Once everyone was out, I went to my room and placed Chomu and Teddy on their usual place, beside Mahir and left. I sat in the living room, waiting for Vish and Vikrant to return. I was trying to puzzle how and where Mahir was. Was he really alive and if yes then where the hell was he?And if not, then who had taken the stuffed toys and that shirt there? Was this some sort of a sinister plan by my enemies? But how come... I sat upright and rushed to my room. I had not checked the toys before bringing them home. I had to check them. As I approached my room, I heard Krish speaking with someone. I had my suspicions on that guy. I suspected that he was planted by Sumitra to spy on us. So I had fed him a mild dose on sleeping poison with his medicine. That ensured that he was asleep when we were planning for dad, Kuhu, Bultu and baby's safety. The effect had worn off now.

I stopped outside and listened to him speaking, but couldn't understand what he was saying. Finally tired of eavesdropping like a spy in my own house, I barged in without bothering to knock. A strange sight met my eyes. Krish had seated Chomu on one lap while, Teddy was on his other lap and he was actually talking to them. He jumped when I came in unannounced and looked at me guiltily. That was the first time I saw traces of Mahir in him.

When I questioned him, he told me that I was mad to think that he was talking to the stuffed toys. I ignored him and told him to eat something and then take his medicines. His response was, trying to walk away. I held him back. My suspicions were still there, and before they got cleared, he was not going anywhere.

"Hello Miss Ice Queen, this might be your house, but I am not your husband for you to boss me around, okay? Just let go of my hand.

But still I held him back, knowing fully well that he was the key to all my questions. I did everything in my power to stop him. And finally I succeeded. He gave in and sat on the bed, while I examined the soft toys minutely. No, there was nothing wrong with them. Then how had they reached the cave? To that I had no answer. My questions regarding his family had gone unanswered. I went downstairs after some time to get some food for him, when I heard a noise near the door. As I was going to investigate, someone grabbed me from behind and pulled me away from the door. That person had pressed my mouth and so I couldn't utter a single word. As I turned around furiously to look at my captor, I found out that it was Krish. I was about to question him when he motioned me to keep quiet. That's when I heard footsteps coming our way.

I quickly pulled him inside a nearby cupboard and pulled the door shut, leaving only a small gap. I spotted familiar hooded figures, lead by my darling ma-in-law approaching us. They were clearly looking for someone. Just then my phone vibrated and I read Vish's text. Dad and others were safely in a plane that was heading to Fiji and Vish and Vikrant were heading home. I shot her a quick text telling her about Sumitra and her army's arrival and she promised to hurry back. Knowing well that traffic near the airport was horrible, I knew that they were not coming back in an hour. By that time Sumitra and the hooded minions had disappeared. I stepped out of our hiding place only to be pulled roughly back inside. That's when I noticed that sasu ma dearest was back with her death eater gang. I was uncomfortably aware of my body that was pressed against Krish. We were so close that I could feel his heart hammering in his chest. His hand was on my waist, his nails digging into my flesh. Finally the death eater gang disappeared out of the house and we stepped out. I began to go after them when Krish pulled me back. I told him it was imperative that I follow them. We ducked out of the house and managed to follow them till the main road. Once there I heard a been sound calling all naags and naagins to the haveli.

Instinctively I knew I had to go to the haveli. I began walking towards the sound and for some reasons, even Krish began to follow me. Despite telling him to go back multiple times, he insisted on following me. His behaviour was making me suspicious. So I let him follow me. I texted Vish that I was going to the haveli. Suddenly someone pulled me behind a tree. Krish had once again sensed danger and saved me. I had to stop letting this happen. I mean I was a freaking serpent queen. Why was it necessary for a mere human to save me every time?

Sure enough the hooded minions were back and this time it was clear that they were looking for me. We, as in me and Krish managed to dodge them and he called a taxi for us. I told the taxi driver to take us to the old haveli. While we were inside the taxi, the minions returned and this time they were on bikes. Oh great! Just fantastic! Exactly what we needed. So these hooded death eaters could drive bikes as well. Wow! For once I was quicker than him and I pulled him down just in time for the first bike to near us. As the driver, looked at us puzzled, I told him to drive to the haveli as fast as possible. As they bikers tried to peer inside the taxi, me and Krish crouched low in the back seat, once again uncomfortably close to each other.

Finally they left us alone and went ahead. We both sat up. Both were slightly awkward from the earlier proximity. At long last we reached the haveli. The driver was an idiot who warned us that it was rumoured that shape shifting snakes lived in the haveli. Krish scoffed at the idea and the driver shrugged. As he went away, I marched inside the haveli, hoping to see ma, Juhi and others. Krish followed me muttering about idiots who believed in such stupidity. His attitude was getting on my nerves. So to teach him a lesson and get rid of him, I transformed. When he saw me he was shocked. Suddenly I heard two people running towards us and I turned to face them thinking that they were enemies. But they turned out to be ma and Juhi. Ma was momentarily shocked to see Mahir but she recovered quickly and understood that it was Krish.

Juhi hurried towards me and whispered urgently in my ear that Naag Guruji and Aghori Baba had to go into hiding as their life was in danger. Someone was going to be coroneted as the Naagrani that night. I was shocked. Before I could say anything, Krish had pulled me away and I saw a spear protruding from the spot where I had stood only seconds ago. Even as I watched, ma threw one hooded figure over her head. He fell and broke his neck. That hooded man was dead. Juhi attacked another one while Krish engaged yet another one. Suddenly Vish and Vikrant joined the fray and a full blown skirmish was happening inside the haveli. We all were fighting our best, but the enemies were too many. Suddenly I saw some naags from our clan join the fight against us. I told everyone that no matter what, they should not be harmed. They were from our clan after all.

So we focused on killing the hooded people while the naags were rendered unconscious. They were all intent on not letting me enter the inner chamber. As soon as I approached the door that lead to the throne room, someone or the other would stop me and attack me. Finally all were either unconscious or dead and I approached the throne room door. Krish tried to follow me inside but I stopped him from doing so. He went away in a huff.

I will not bore you with the details of what followed. Honestly speaking even I am not sure of what exactly happened. My ma-in-law dearest was present amongst the hooded figures. She as usual bored me with typical saas bahu serial level dialogues. The gist of the conversation was that the real Naagrani was going to be crowned as the queen that day. No matter what I said, by subjects did not pay any attention to me. They were looking the throne with deep reverence. From their mindless expressions it was clear that they were under some kind of spell. And no matter how much I shouted and screamed, they were not affected by it. Finally my irritating sasu ma introduced us to Huzoor, the one who was the original naagrani according to her.

We were all prepared, or so we thought to face the huzoor. We knew his intentions. We also knew a fair gist of his plans. So we were prepared to face him. What we were not prepared was to face was my own older self. Yes this Huzoor person had my older face. There in front of us stood Ruhi. But how was this possible? This girl was crying and generally telling everyone a sob story of how I had snatched her identity and throne and her crown and how I had deceived everyone in the process. I quickly became irritated.

I had no idea my older self could be so irritating. Although it was my own face that was staring at me, I wanted to punch her. I wanted to punch her stupid face and kick her butt and throw her out. But unfortunately I could do neither of these things as she was not yet done giving shocks. After claiming her rights on my throne, my crown and my people, she declared that Mahir the love of my life was the love of her life too. Her explanation was that she had saved him from the fire and she had told him the whole story and he had agreed that I was the evil one and she was an angel sent from heaven to earth. She then proceeded to call Mahir there and there he was. My husband, looking like he was being forced to swallow neem ka kadha. His expression reminded me of Juhi's expressions when ma would feed her some medicine.

He was meticulously avoiding looking right into my eyes. Forget eyes, he was not even looking at me. Even when the situation was so serious, I couldn't help but scoff at the fakey's explanation. Like really? She just happened to be strolling near the house when the fire was raging. She jumped into the fire to save a random stranger and then she had narrated the sob story of her life to that man. And then my husband, my Mahir who loved me with all his heart had been convinced that I was the evil one? And now with him convinced that his wife was an evil bitch all along, he was ready to marry this girl? This felt like a plot of badly written EK serial than anything else. Unfortunately this badly written serial plot was the sad truth of my life. Unable to take it any longer, I rushed outside and Vish, Viktant and others soon followed.

Once outside I expected the joker, I mean Krish to be somewhere around, waiting to irritate me. But most surprisingly he was nowhere to be seen. I heaved a sigh of relief. Now I wouldn't have to deal with his antics, at least for some time. Vikrant was fuming. Vish was looking like she would like nothing better than to bang some heads together. Juhi was on the verge of tears while ma looked like, if I didn't control her, she would tear apart anyone who crossed her that day. As soon as we were out, Vikrant offered to go inside and kill each and every person standing inside. That was practically impossible and extremely dangerous. While I did not mind the danger, taking unnecessary risks was not my thing. And anyways we had to remember that we were outnumbered by at least three to one. And most of the people inside were from our clan. We couldn't kill them for getting hypnotized, right? Luckily ma agreed with me. About one thing I was sure. The guy who was inside with that fakey was none other than my Mahir. The fact that he had not looked at me even once proved that he was Mahir, and he was too afraid to look into my eyes, lest I should know his truth. There was another thing, he looked pained when he said that he believed in Ruhi. And when she was holding his hand, he looked like he wanted to puke. In fact even I wanted to puke when she was running her hands all over MY husband like he was some public property. More than puke I wanted to break her bones and gauge out her eyes for daring to lay them on my husband. Jeez! I was getting super dramatic these days. Must be a human tendency. Anyways, back to analysing Mahir's expressions. And then as I exited the throne room, I had looked back at him, one last time. He was looking at that fakey with pleading eyes like "Aunty, I listened to all that you said. I even told my Bella that I didn't believe her. Now please can I go back to my mumma? Oops sorry, now can I go back to my Bella?

Even in that dire situation I felt like laughing at his expression. He looked so cute. Well, so I was busy telling others that it was Mahir inside the haveli and that I wanted to leave everything to Bholenath. He would tell me the way forward. Just then someone called us out and when we turned, there he was. That joker, Krish was walking towards us like he was our best friend. Before any of us could react, before any of us could say anything, ma had charged upon him, and in one powerful thrust, he was rolling on the ground. He looked shocked. Before he could say anything, Vikrant had grabbed him by his collar and was shaking and threatening him.

Before Vikrant and ma could attack him again, I stepped in between them. A doubt was beginning to form in my mind and I wanted a chance to test that theory. They both were protesting but I insisted that they let go of him. I looked at him suspiciously but he looked at me right in the eye. His gaze was diffident. Vish was questioning him for disappearing when I saw the fakey come out of the haveli. Someone who looked suspiciously like Mahir drove a car towards her and she sat inside the car with a smirk. I had no idea that my old face was capable of such an ugly look. Vish had just accused him of parading around as Mahir inside. With this that accusation had been nullified. Krish looked at us victoriously. Vish looked like she swallowed a whole lemon.

He informed us that he was lost inside the haveli and while he was lost he heard that hot girl, (point to be noted. While he called her hot, he was looking at me mischievously.) planning something big for that night. Mission accomplished as, as soon as he called her hot, I felt my blood boil. I mean technically he was calling my older self hot... Wait, why did I keep forgetting that he is Krish and not Mahir? Krish was free to call anyone hot. IT SHOULD NOT BOTHER ME. But I was beginning to suspect that... well back to what he was telling me.

He told us about her plan. We decided that it was too risky for all of us to go there and so it was decided that ma and Juhi would join Naag Guruji and Aghori Baba in hiding. Once that was settled, we went to ancient Bholenath temple in the area where a Mahashivratri pooja was going to take place. Krish and Vikrant were arguing like small kids along the way. I felt like I was their mother trying to control them. Finally Krish revealed his brilliant plan of entering the temple with troupe of dancers. He had also provided us with clothes like the ones the dancers were going to be wearing.

We dressed up in those clothes and entered the along with the troupe. Once inside, we began dancing. My doubts were beginning to get confirmed that Krish was none other than Mahir. He had offered to help me adjust my pallu while we were getting dressed. And the look that he was giving me was very similar to the one he generally gave when he was in a naughty mood. That look generally meant that he was about to do something that would make me blush. And even while dancing, his hand placement was very peculiar. His hand was on my waist but not like he was taking advantage of the physical proximity. It felt as though he was comforting me through his familiar touch.

Towards the end of the dance a familiar hooded figure along with the fakey came to the temple. I told Vish that the hooded figure was responsible for trying to kill me. In the meanwhile I noticed that Krish was actively hiding his face from the fakey. And at one point he tried to make a run for it. I grabbed him from behind and made him face me. He was shocked to see me pinning him to a pillar. I told him that I knew he was Mahir and he was doing all of this because of some reason but he need not do it. He could tell me what was bothering him. I would help him. We could solve the problem together. But he was adamant that he was Krish and not Mahir. I could see that he was torn. I could see conflict in his eyes. But I let go of him.

After a few minutes, Mahir came and stood near the fakey and she announced that it was the time for her to get married to the love of her life. I scoffed the idea of Mahir being the love of her life. She had known him for how many, 24-25 hours, not more than that. But now that I was sure that guy was my Mahir, I was ready to die fighting for him. So I challenged her for a fight. I told her to fight me and then marry Mahir. She agreed and we both stood opposite each other. The fight did not last for long and it ended with me falling unconscious on the ground in one corner of the temple. I felt someone grab hold of me and drag me along. I thought it was the enemies who were dragging me but some distance off I stopped moving.

Some was shaking me like he wanted me to wake up. That person was urgently whispering something like I don't give you the permission die. The lord had never disappointed you, you cannot disappoint him today. You are the true queen, a warrior, a fighter. You cannot let go. Remember one thing I am letting go of your hand but I will always be there to support you. Wake up and finish your fight...

With great difficulty I grabbed Mahir's hand and pulled him close to me. He tried to make me let go of him but I held on with all my might. My powers were slowly returning. I was beginning to come out of the daze. Just them Vish and Vikrant came there looking for me. When they spotted Mahir near me, they stepped closer. Mahir was still trying to make me let him go but even Vish and Vikrant pinned him down, refusing to let go before we got some answers. I sat up with some difficulty and made him look at me. Finally, resigned to fate, Mahir raised his hand and released some strange power in the air around us. The noise of people talking and searching for us stopped abruptly. We looked at him shocked.

"How did you??? I mean what was that? I asked him.

"I have frozen everyone. Now we can talk in peace.

"But how? asked Vish.

"With the help of this answered Mahir.

He placed his hand near his heart and pulled out the Naagmani. We were amazed and shocked.

"How did you? I mean Ruhi had hidden it inside the underwater temple. Then how did it reach you? Vikrant questioned him.

"Well, I will tell you the whole story said Mahir.

FLASHBACK (Mahir's POV)

I was preparing breakfast for all of us when Sumitra attacked me. She pinned me down beneath the heavy kitchen cabinet and Yuvi lit it up. She left me to die. It was horrible for the first few minutes. With great difficulty I managed to throw the cabinet off me. I tried to escape the burning house but they had locked the door from outside. I will not go into the details of it, but the fire was beginning to affect me by then. I knew that if I didn't manage to escape in the next few minutes, I would die. But had no hope of escaping through the locked door. So I gathered Chomu, Teddy and my shirt in my hands and sat in one corner and waited for death to find. I did not want to die like a coward. So I sat there with a smile on my face, remembering our moments together.

My only regret was that I was leaving you all alone. Suddenly I felt something warm touch me. All around me thing were getting hotter but this strange warm thing felt comforting like it was giving me life. I opened my eyes and saw that the Naagmani was floating in front of me. Even as I watched, it floated right inside me and in my heart I felt a very comforting warmth. Suddenly I somehow knew what I was supposed to do. Still carrying Chomu and Teddy, I went to the wall where the passage to the cave opened and walked right through the wall. The mani took me all way to the cave where I placed Chomu, Teddy and the shirt that I somehow knew you would find and get comforted. After a bit the mani took me back to house. All the injuries that I had sustained had healed but now new injuries were opening up. But they did not hurt me at all. I went and lied down where Sumitra had left me and the burnt out remains of the cabinet fell back on top of me.

The fire that was supposed to feel hot, now actually felt warm. I knew something major was about to happen and I waited for it. Suddenly this girl who calls herself Huzoor came there and carried me out of the house. And the fire calmed down immediately. She carried me to a strange cave and healed all my injuries, and told me how you had cheated her out of her throne and crown. I pretended to agree to her as the Mani was telling me to do so. And then you know the rest.

There is one thing Bella, as long as the Mani stays inside me, nothing can harm me. And so you need not worry about me. You are destined to finish off the girl and the hooded man who goes by the name of Hukum. You will finish them off. Go and fight them. We don't know how yet, but we will finish them together.

Another thing Bella, this Mani gives me powers that one can only dream of. One such power is that I can be at two places at the same time. So we need not worry about that aspect. And yes I appreciate that you sent off dad, Kuhu, Bultu and baby abroad. They will be safer there. Don't look at me like that. Your poison had no effect on me.

FALSHBACK ENDS

Bella POV

I was stunned to hear this. I remembered ma telling me a story while growing up. Something similar had happened in the story. The legend was that there were two lovers were truly in love with each other but the girl was from Sheesh Naag Vash and the boy was a human orphan. The elders separated them forcibly and tried to kill the guy. But the girl was a true devotee of Lord Shiva and she prayed to him. If the guy truly loved her, he would find her. But it was nearly impossible as her clan had carried her off to a distant land. But then on the day she was supposed to get married to a man of her parent's choice her lover appeared. When questioned as to how did he find them, he showed everyone the fabled Naagmani that was hidden in his heart. That was how the Naagmani came in our clan's possession. The elders were convinced of their love and agreed to get them married. The girl and her husband vowed that their future generations would protect the mani. Lord Shiva had given him the mani in order to find his true soul mate.

I had never given it much of a thought. It was a legend and most probably not true. But it was believed that the Naagmani would help unite true lovers. And that day it had been proven. I hugged Mahir tightly as Vish and Vikrant looked on.

"Go and finish off the fight you started Naagrani. said Mahir.

I nodded my head. I would fight them off. I would get back my crown, throne and my people from that fakey. Mahir squeezed my hand tightly once while Vish and Vikrant nodded encouragingly. Without a backward glance, Mahir walked away from me and once again the time started. I went back outside and attacked her once again. This time I was stronger and more powerful than before. I did not manage to finish her off but she and her Hukum disappeared and we celebrated the Mahashivratri with great pomp.

So this is the end for now. I hope you all like my take on how things should have gone. Do let me know in the comments section.

Hi Ash

Sorry for posting my review so late.

I missed 3 chapters 😭 but I have finally read them

You have been inspired a lot by the show Ash. I think I found a new ship 😉. I will PM you about it

The details were perfect. You included a few scenes that we wanted in the show. At least we get to read them here.

I really wanted that track to be different and my wishes get to be fulfilled in your FF which is the best part. Thank you Santa 😛

Amazing updates Ash 👏. Thank you for continuing this story
