298 BC...
Patliputra, Magadh...
Athiti Griha [guest house]
It was a stormy night..Magadha had never faced such a night of destruction as if the nature was trying to say something.But Who can understand it? Nature has its won reforms...
A man wearing a Greek dress is sitting on a mat on ground with a many pages of Belpatra on his little table. Suddenly a voice of tapping the door comes. The man rises up and moves near the door to open it...As soon as he opens it...A feminine voice comes..."Megasthenes"
Megasthenes: [in Greek] Cornelia !!!!! aap!!! itni raat ko???Sabkuch thik to hai na???
Cornelia:[In Greek] Kuch thik nahi hai...Megasthenes...Kuch bhi nahi...
Megasthenes: Pehle aap andar to aaiye..bahar bahut tez baarish ho rahi...
The woman in black robe steps in...megasthenes closes the door..
Ab bataaiye...kya baat hai???
Cornelia: vastav mein hua ye hai ki..
[before she could complete another knock is heard from the door.]
Oh Zeus! agar kisiko pata chal gaya ki main itni raat ko apne kaksh se kisi ko bina bataye bahar aayin hoon to anarth ho jaayega.
Megasthenes: Aisa kariye aap wahan piche jaakar chip jaeiye...main dekhta hum kaun hai... [Cornelia hides behind the closet..at the other end of the room...Meanwhile Megasthenes opens the door and finds another man covered with black blanket..nothing except his eyes was visible..]
Ji aap???...
[the man removes his blanket from his face and suddenly the expressions on Megasthenes' face changes]
Aap itni rat gaye yahhan???
The stranger: Baaton ke liye samay nahi reh gaya hai mere paas...Mere paas sirf aaj ki raat bach gayi hai...
Megasthenes: Kahiye main aapki kya sahayata kar sakta hoon?
The stranger: Maine aapo ek baar kehte huye suna tha kisi se ki app apni pustak "Indika" mein jo bhi likh rahen hai...usse aap santusht nahin...app woh likh rahen hai jo sara bharatvarsh jaanta hai...parantu main aapko woh mahatvapurn baatein bata sakta hoon jo sirf gine chune log Jaante hain...
Megasthenes: Kya aapka tatparya Mahan Samrat Chandragupta Maurya se hai?
[Listening the name of Chandragupta in the conversation, Cornelia who was hiding there got alert..]
The stranger: Haan! Main bataaunga aapko Kaise kiya unhone yavano ko parajit...Kaise bachai apni matrabhumi...Kaisa bane wo ek sadharan vyakti Chandragupta se Akhand Bharat ke nirmata Chandragupta Maurya!!!
