Hi,, Tryi😊ng my new story, Hope it entertains you...

Chandra Gupta Maurya defeated King Nand. However Nand escaped from his hands . In order to capture him,He marries Nandini ,who was dearer to Nand . Nandini was forced to marry Chandragupt who already married twice in order to save her Mother Avantika who was already kept in captive by him.The two married in a quiet ceremony attended by Chankya(Chandra's mentor),Helena(Chandra's 1st wife ) ,Durdhara(2nd wife),Moora(His mother),Chaya(His elder sister),Avantika(Nandini's Mother) and handful of min

Everyone in the royal palace was feeling very joyous.They have just now witnessed the wedding of Chandragupt with Nandini. At last peace prevails in the city after witnessing long battles which filled every streets with bloods and sound of wails.Chankaya at last felt relieved that his pupil fulfilled his promise .The promise which changed the fate of Pataliputra. Yes,he overthrew Nand.Nand was a tyrant king.He was disliked by his own people. He inflicted heavy taxes on his subjects and was very cruel and had no morals. He was survived by his queen Avantika and Nandini,his daughter,widowed daughter in laws. Nand ran away from battlefield leaving no trace. To lure him back Chanakya needed bait. So he advised already married Chandragupt to marry Nand's beautiful daughter Nandini. Chandra was reluctant at first,but he did needed Nand at any cost .Nand loved his daughter most so he will come to palace seeking his daughter Nandini.Soon night fell in.

It was wedding night . Nandini was looking out of her window lost in deep thought.The young lady sat on her bed and looked with numb glare. She did not notice her mother entering her chamber.. The former queen of Magadh is wearing a simple outfit. She sat beside her daughter and held her chin. "Get ready my dear. It is time to discharge your duty as a wife."

Avantika was minutely observing her daughter who had no expression... " we all have got a chance to live our life with respect again... and none of us can afford to lose it!" Nandini eyes filled with tears.She asked "Is this a marriage?"

"What has happened was ought to happen Nandini!" she sighed "And what's happening with you is not a new thing. Every girl undergoes this, and you have to abide by it. Remember, you are not the daughter of Nand anymore. With the marriage today, you are going to be the queen of Chandragupta Maurya .Accept the truth.Truth always wins."Avantika led her daughter to Chandra's room.

Nandini sat on the bed waiting for Chandra.The doors were closed, curtains had been dropped. Nandini sat and thought about Chandra,she cannot deny that Chandra was a warrior who fought a fair battle, with the army 1/4th of his father's force .He had concrete war-strategy, great leadership with lead him to victory! He has not done anything wrong! He did not snatch anything! He only won the war, where her father lost it.A sigh came out from the deep of Nandini's heart. Nandini shivered to imagine the scene that she had to owe Chandra her body and soul.She has to act as a seductress, to intoxicate Chandra with her passion.All these she was forced to do just to save his remaining family.

She rested in the pillow with her head and soon dozed off.In her dream Nandini waited for her husband to come . He did not made her wait for long. When Chandra entered the room, Her heart stopped beating for a minute. He was young and his gait was so impressive for any girl to fall for him. She realized why Helena was swooning over him.She sprang from her seat just like a spring and went to him fell on his legs.

He lifted her and was beholding her face he spoke"Do you even realize how amazing you are? Nandini did not reply.She did not expect him to be his admirer. Nandini knew she was beautiful ,but never anticipated that any person like Chandra will appreciate her.She assumed that Chandra always had appetite for war.He did not have any piece of heart to love a women.It was apparently visible that both his wives were openly waiting to grab his attention.Still they could not agitate his mind .

He continued if Magadh was a temple then you are its Devi. Nandini quickly retorted"Then my Magesty is...looked into his face for reply."I am your bhakt".Nandini could not control laughing"How many Devis do you worship my lord"...She was hinting his marriage to Helena and Durdhara . He replied "Temple can have only one God... To answer your question I am not in love with Helena. She is just like my teacher who taught me war skills. Durdhara is my best friend. I cannot see her With that intention. I love her, because she is my best friend.All previous alliance was political. Although my marriage with you also politically motivated still I have to admit that I love you.Nandini was speechless. She thought "Is he a mad. Will any king surrender openly.But he is not bad after all.Nandini retorted" You can ask for your wish my king".He was an expert lover who could easily find place even in his enemy's heart. "Only you can make things better Nandini".He did not wait for her reply .He took He took her into his arms again, using all his strength to be gentle, and let his lips touch hers so lightly he could hardly feel .Best feeling indeed.He stopped to say another golden proverb about love."You should be kissed and by someone who knows how"

very passionate moments. "Chandra! you are not a bad person ".Suddenly she woke up from her dream.

Nandini for some time did not understand present situation"What ... when I was ..Oh Ishwar ! I fell asleep.What time is it. ?She peeked into her balcony. Night was darker and moon was shining above the sky.

At that juncture,Chandra entered the room.His eyes were savoring her .To her Chandra looked like Lord Shiva who opened his third eye and was about to burn entire cosmos.Nandini shivered.

Chandra"What do you think Nand putri. Do you think I am malyaketu to lust after you? I am Chandragupt. For me you are just a pawn . Do you think I will give you wife status. I will not do that mistake. You are my enemy nandputri. Just because of your brother, my sister is widowed .She is going through this difficulty because of your family.because of your father i lost my father.I swear you that I give you all pain in this life so that you beg me death.

Nandini was taken aback"Chandra,Just because I am Nand 's daughter and my brother killed your Brother in law, you hate me"?

"Hate is not the word.. I want to torture you". He continued "I hate you because you got everything which should be mine since my father was king.Your father Killed my father and i was raised as a washerman's son.I hate you because I lost my childhood and you were blessed with all comforts.

"But Chandra you cannot blame me"Nandini retorted...

"I will blame you only".[color = magenta]Nandini was silent. Because she knew speaking will not do any good. She fell down at his feet.Words were shaky due to uncontrollable crying.

"I know ... You had to suffer all these because of my Father. Sorry.. I can only say Sorry."

"Sorry..."he repeated "One word sorry"...HE lifted her by shoulder and said "Cut those crap..girl..this does not befit you...Just say me where is your Pita Maharaj"?

Nandini"Chandra ,Trust me .I dont have any clue about his whereabouts"!!

"Dont fool me..Nandini Even a small baby can say that you know his whereabouts. Ok I will change the question .where isMalay ketu"

Nandini"What Malay. How do I know"?

Chandra"What you dont know !! I am surprised .Whole magadh knows that you were turning every stone upside down to marry him.The most handsome ..

"Stop it chandra"nandini raised her pitch"You can stoop to this level.How can you say such crass things about your own wife".

Chandra with a smirk"Did I say anything wrong.Helena said me that you were crazy about Malay."

"can the same thing hold good for your sister?Even she was bethroted to Kalinga Prince before marriage"Nandini AskeD with sarcasm.

"Had you not been a lady. I will cut your tongue for accusing my sister"Chandra paused and looked at Nandini.She was inconsolable . He knew that he was torturing her .He did it deliberately to destabilize her.[/color].

Nandini contemplated Him."I dont understand.. what he wants from me... Why he is hell bent on proving that I loved Malay. Why he is asking about Pita."While she was watching him,he looked at her and held her arms"I dont care nandini Whether you love Malay or not. For me you are just hunted booty. I promise that I will keep you alive so that I can see you suffer day by day so that my mother's suffering is compensated. For you Iam worse than God of Death"Saying so he pushed her to the floor and walked away from the room.

Beautiful Avanika. This was a rocking start! I loved the characters of both Chandra and Nandini. So Chandra did all that for vengeance with Nandini. Nandini is also not meek and submissive though she is attracted towards Chandragupt. Let's see where you are going to take this one.

PART 2


Nandini was lying in the floor .She was just like a ragged doll.Deep in her mind ,she was feeling helpless.,deeply wounded by his harsh words.Words were sharper than swords. She thought about her mother and widowed wives of brother. Nandini "for my family sake ,just for my family".Just then voice of anklets made her come to sense.She turned in that direction of sound it was Queen Durdhara.
Nandini just tried to get up but she was exhausted both physically and mentally.Durdhara held her in support and with sisterly affection,Durdhara gave her some water "Nandini. I DONT know what happened between you and Chandra. But I can understand what could have happened. I know him from childhood. He has no control on his emotions.He behaved with you like this just because he did not know what to do with his current family situation.His sister is widowed by your brother and she is pregnant.Just imagine his plight. ! I am not justifying his behavior , but I am assuring you that he is not bad after all ! Once his temper comes down,he will definitely come seeking you. Usually I dont talk much with others,Dont know why ...I think You will be my little sister.hope you to acknowledge my feeling.
Nandini embraced Durdhara "you are so good. Your words instills confidence in my mind."
Durdhara "Its ok,Sister ,I too love you".Durdhara smiled at her and Nandini was again sat in the bed alone.
"What a life partner I have been bestowed. May be my father's sin takes a toll on my life like this"
She was uncomfortable in the room. She went to balcony and her eyes fell on the moon.This time she had an eerie feeling.

Next day at the crack of the Dawn, whole palace became vibrant with burst of activities.Nandini got herself ready and was greeted by Durdhara."Nandini ,are you ready? " Nandini nodded her head "come on lets go to pooja hall,morning arthi is going to begin".
When They both entered already their family members including chandra were present.Nandini felt ackward because all of Chandra's Family including chaya and Moora wereNot very comfortable in seeing Nandini.Chandra went to Durdhara and asked"What Did i say Durdhara"? Durdhara replied"you asked me to bring family members to pooja "
Then why did the hell you bring Her? CHANDRA POINTED his index finger to Nandini."Dont you know this simple thing" .Before Durdhara attempted to reply Nandini made her way out.She did not want Durdhara to face His wrath.
While leaving She heard Chandra speaking to his sister"Unless your pain is thwarted I will not accept her as my wife. ITS my way of taking revenge .
THOUGH Chaya did not reply she was happy that Nandini is punished amply by Chandragupt.Moora cut short the conversation "ok, lets begin our prayers.already much things be falled upon us. We have to wash our sins. " Durdhara understood that all her family is considering Nandini as bad omen.She sighed heavily.She silently included her in prayers.

CHAPTER 2 PART 1


Durdhara felt very bad seeing Nandini's plight.She thought why everyone is accusing her for their own misfortune.Even Moora,whom she thought to be more matured behaved very rudely with Nandini.
Why is it? if Chaya's stars are bringing her bad luck,how can she get furious on Nandini?
one thing she could not digest,how come Chaya's life can be improved if Chandra treats Nandini badly.
Durdhara was very soft and simple girl.She could not hate anybody.For her ,all these things happening around her was very disturbing.She felt like speaking to Nandini.One thing was sure Nandini's battle is not over.She has to fight for her very existence leave alone right.
After Arthi Durdhara headed back to Nandini's room. "It seems Nandini has not returned"!poor girl may be she went to her mother". Without wasting much time, Durdhara rushed to chambers of Avanthika. Upon reaching Avanthika's chamber, she beheld Nandhini arguing with guards.
Gaurd spoke"You are not allowed inside Lady "!."Avanthika is my mother,Why should I not meet her"?
Nandini pleaded. Durdhara rose to the occassion"Gaurds,why you are reluctant to allow her"?
Gaurds saluted her "Its Patrani Helena's order that All the former king's family members are traitors so they would be kept under house arrest. Nobody especially Nandini are allowed to meet them".

At that juncture Helena came with Chandra.Chandra "Durdhara ! what are you doing here"! "
"Chandra Nandini mother" She fumbled.
"Durdhara you stay away from these matters".And Nandini you who gave you permission to sep inside this complex"?"Now hear carefully,This is my order,I have given every rights to manage this Palace and security concerns,Isn't It My Magesty
"You are right Maharani".Chandra replied to Helena with his eyes fixed upon Nandini.

CHAPTER 2,PART 2


Nandini was on edge of crying"Chandra why you do this to me"?
Before he replied Helena shouted"YOu call Maharaj by name! Don't you know etiquette ?May be maharaj is broad minded to allow but not this Helena. "
"Helena is right! You don't have any rights to call me by my name".He paused "Only my mother and my elder sister can utter my name".

Nandini "My Magesty... I want to meet my mother, Please allow me".
"Yes Maharaj ,Please allow her " Durdhara too requested.
"OK ,Guards ,Allow" when Chandra was about to complete the sentence, He was stopped by Helena.
"MY majesty, Iam afraid that you are too soft hearted ,You cannot see any one crying.BUt if you change rule for your wife,Then everybody will take you for granted. And for whom you are changing the rules.For nandini.Maharaj ,She is daughter of your arch Enemy., How could you be so lenient with her. All of her family is traitors.Dont know what conspiracy they would spin against you"

"Helena" Nandini tried to stop.

"Nandini! I am just doing in the best interest of MY king and his subjects. We are treating you better than how your father treated maharaj's Mother. Dont try to take too advantage of maharaj's innocence. MY Majesty if I have said anything wrong,kindly pardon me..If you change rule for her then who will respect my words".
"Helena ,Dont feel bad, What you did is correct. Traitor is always traitor. "He assurred Helena and turning to Nandini"Go back to your room immediately. I dont want to see your face. I hate to see you .After all Iam forced to marry you by my Guru. If I have given a free hand,I will send you to torture chamber. Just get off my way. YOu silly girl! Durdhara how many times should I say just mind your own work. IF you want to be my wife you have to abide by Helena else I will throw you out of this palace.
Durdhara expected this from him, He respected Helena because she helped him in fighting the war.But she did not have any piece of heart in torturing Nandini.She was surprised that nandini is so quiet and was crying silently. She thought she will atleast give an argument.When both Chandra and Helena proceeded to Political Chamber.Durdhara asked Nandini about her silence,and the answer made her feel still bad."Durdhara,thank you for showing concern.Just for my mother and remaining female members,I have to bear with this torture.Dont' ask me anything else. My hands are tied.Its not Chandra who pushed me to this edge of the wall.Its my Father after all. His sins commited agains Chandra's family is taking toll on me. Whom to blame! Noone. All these days I was enjoying all conforts because of my Father,I cannot shun away from his sins.Dont feel sorry for me. AS you sow so shall you reap. Its my karma. " Nandini hugged Durdhara. Even Durdhara melted away in heer tears. "You are not a little girl. Only great people like Buddha has mind to forgive and accept enemy.Nandini you are just like a lotus. You dont have to worry about anything.Chandra surely understand you. Nandini ,I know its difficult to believe me but trust me"
Durdhara broke into tears ,Nandini wiped her tears. Both Returned to respective chambers.

Chandra was seated in his throne and Chankya was asking A minister to explain the case pending before king for judgement
Minister asked the couple who were merchants to plead their case.Along with them another man came.
He pleaded" My Majesty, My wife cheated me. She is sleeping with her past fiance with whom her marriage was called off. "
Chankya" Did you see them together"?
MAn replied "NO, I did not see them together,but that man is wealthy and good looking than me so,She definitely cheating on me"
Wife retorted"NO Majesty, I did not even see him after my marriage with my husband.Dont believe him"
Before Wife could finish chandra hastily said "50 lashes to the wife for cheating her husband and marriage is called off.Nandini I know you are a traitor"
Chankya and everyone was confused.Chankya with all respects asked"MY king, Nandini is not her name and This man's wife is innocent .Its evident from witnesses. Why do you punish her"
Chandra just now realised that he uttered nandini's name"Sorry Acharya, I was pre occupied with some other matter.
Chankya could read his pupil's mind and he did not speak anything more.Understanding the present situation Chankya told" On behalf of my King ,I declare wife is innocent. Sir please take your wife .
Suspicion and hated if it overrules your brain,life becomes a hell."He spoke on looking at Chandra.
Let the court disperse .
All ministers and public saluted the king and Chandra walked out of the Hall.
He went inside his room and began to ponder why he called nandini's name in open court.
He could not find answers. Just by then Chankya came inside his room.
