Part 63

Durdhara came back from the temple with a new look in her eyes. She walked like a queen should and held herself with full grace. The news of Chandra losing the war made her see life from new perspective. She left behind her grudges and emotions and behaved in a very different way. She went to Swarna's room who was still crying. She patted her head and Swarna saw her. She hugged Durdhara. Swarna said, What will happen now Durdhara? I am totally alone. Durdhara wiped her tears and said, Sister, the word made Swarna confused. Durdhara said, don't worry, we are all here for you and look Chandra will definitely come back, he has to for you, for his children and for us, his family. Till he is not here, I will take care of everyone including you. Here, eat food. Swarna suspected her, Durdhara smiled and ate a morsel, she said, see I didn't mix anything in it, you princesses are so suspicious. She smiled. Swarna was shocked at this sudden change of behaviour. She ate a morsel from her hand and Swarna said Thank You. Durdhara, said you must not remain hungry, the little lion or lioness in your belly is gonna be one of the soldiers of our Chandra. So, be healthy and happy. Chandra will come back, Maa have confidence and now I have too. Swarna was surprised at this gracious and kind behaviour of Durdhara. Swarna said, Durdhara, a true queen is never upset in distress. I am a princess yet I lost my confidence and patience but you are a commoner but are so strong and gracious in this distressful situation. I now understand why Acharya didn't want my role for you, you are of much bigger importance than just a secret wife, solely there to produce a lineage. I bet the next heir of Chandra will be born from you and he should. Such a gracious queen you are. Durdhara only smiled on these praises, she hugged Swarna and left. Durdhara wanted to cry her heart out but just like Mura said, she made her heart of stone..to take care of her love's entire family.

Part 64

Many months passed....it was becoming really problematic for Akshay to hold Taxila, Malayketu was planning to annex it again and only because Paursa was still loyal that Akshay could hold Taxila still. There was still no news of Chandragupta and Acharya. Everyone was getting desperate. Durdhara was very bravely managing everything including Swarna who was close to deliver her baby. Nandini made many excuses to hold her marriage with Bhadrashal and he was getting desperate. He always called her on dates but she always refused. Lucky for her he had to go to suppress a rebellion so she could extend date of her marriage. Nanda understood Nandini wasn't willing to marry him but now he had promised Bhadrshal so he couldn't do anything. Nayantara last time had escaped and married Shashank to save her honour. Their marriage was a secret and Nayantara had started working for him and Acharya. She wished that one day her future son will be put on throne of Asakya as it's rightful ruler. She was ready to accept Vasalage of Chandragupta for that. Sukesh now officially got married.

In one of outer villages outside Magadha's border, Chandragupta and Chankaya faked their identity and took refuge in a hut. Only an old lady and her grandson lived there who had not much to provide anything to them yet they honoured their guests. The lady had made khichdi and gave it to them. Her grandson tried to eat the food from middle and got his hand burned. The lady say, you idiot, you are a fool just like that Chandragupta and Chanakya. They got shocked listening to their names. They looked at each other. The lady said, if you eat from middle obviously your hand get burned, you must eat from outer sides, that way you can easily eat food. Chanakya was shocked that how could he think of getting Magadha by directly hitting on heart of the capital. He realised his folly. He thanked the old lady and they left the hut next morning by giving her some money they had left.

Chandra said, Acharya such a wise knowledge we couldn't think. Chankaya said indeed Chandra, we were fools to directly attack Magadha. We must escape and to back to our kingdom. And make a new strategy. Chandra says, we must quickly leave Acharya before it's too late. Chandra and Chanakya left for Taxila but without great difficulty as soldiers of Nanda were trying to find him everywhere.

In Paursa

Suddenly Swarna went into labour. She was crying and was in deep pain. Doctor came to the home. After great difficulty she gave birth to a beautiful daughter. Everyone was so happy, specially Mura. She thanked God for getting her a granddaughter. She said, Laxmi ka aagman hua hai. Durdhara was also very happy to see little princess of Chandra. She took her in her hands and said, so tiny and beautiful, just like her mother. Swarna was exhausted and in deep sleep. Durdhara said to Chandransh, look dear ,she's your baby sister. Later after many days, Swarna was holding her baby while Chandransh was in Durdhara's arms. She said, what you want to name her Swarn? Swarna say, you should name her. After all she's like your daughter too. Durdhara smiled, she said hmmm....how about Priyadarshini. Swarna laughed, right, it's apt name because it's name I gave to her father....they all laughed, Mura said, so it's done, her name will be Priyadarshini.

In Magadha

Nandini was standing on her balcony totally unmoved by any emotion. She thought, only if you had listened to me Chandra that day, you would have been alive and probably we would have an alliance and I would be your wife. Everything would be so blissful but you chose a path of destruction and my life is ruined. You promised me to save me from Bhadrashal, atleast come back for that promise. I long to see you and praying day and night that you are alive. If that is the case go back to Taxila and never ever think of attacking us again. I cannot bear to see you dead. You may think of my love as some attraction but in my heart I know how much I love you.

In Babylon

Helena was growing up really fast. She was a cheerful girl who quickly made friends. She was playing with dolls with her friends. One girl said, Princess now we shall marry this doll to that doll ....they were having fun....another girl said, I want my marriage to be really grand..I wish I could marry a prince. Helena laughed, prince? I would marry a king...no one even a king ,but an emperor. Everyone laughed, she said, but princess your own father is now even an Emperor yet, how can you.. suddenly Helena slapped her. She said, how dare you talk about my father, he is a king and would become an Emperor.....no one insults my father...that girl got scared....she fell in her feet and said, sorry princess... please don't hurt me... Helena said, always remember no one is more important than my father for me, I can love no one more than him , Never..........If I say I will marry an Emperor, I will marry an Emperor, she threw her doll away in rage and left...she staight went to Seleucus' room who was having a drink with his friends

.. Seleucus got shocked, he said Helena why the hell are you here? Go back...she said, father you are an Emperor right? He laughed, no dear, not yet.....Helena said, Papa one day I will make you an Emperor, everyone laughed.....he said, sure my dear but the time is not appropriate ok, go back to your mother....she said ok papa but remember I will make you an Emperor and I will marry an Emperor....they all laughed but she got irritated.....he said, sure dear..now go play with your dolls...she left in annoyance... Seleucus said, girls, so silly, like she can be of any consequence for me......and he started drinking....he jokingly said, yeah like she can give me elephants who will make me win battles and they all laughed......

Helena was blabbering, no one takes me seriously, one day everyone will see, I will marry an Emperor.

Part 65

Mura had gone to Rishi Dandayan with Kundalis of Chandra and Durdhara as she still had immense faith that he would come back. Her heart told her her son was alive. She went to him without telling anyone. Rishi said, Devi, this marriage should not happen if you want this girl to stay alive. She got shocked. She said alive? What does her kundali say? He said, if she doesn't marry him she will live up to an old age but destiny will definitely make them marry each other. They are parts of one soul. Their union will start a chain of greatness. But this greatness will demand her sacrifice. She shockingly asked what type of Sacrifice? Rishi says, let future be for future only. But even if you or anyone tried, this union cannot be stopped. This girl is born to become a great Empress. Mura says, so my Chandra is alive? He says, best of sovereigns will even choose his death himself. Mura was now very relieved that her son was okay but she was also disturbed that Durdhara's life can be in danger if she married Chandra, as she was about to leave he said, remember Devi, no one can stop their union. They are soulmates and their hearts will always belong to each other. Circumstances will make him of others but his heart will always belong to her. Mura than thought it was futile to say anything to Durdhara or anyone and she decided to leave everything on Niyati.

Thunderstorms started happening, he said looking at the sky, Why are you so adamant? Why throw them in each other's paths? His heart to hers, then why do you want to entangled them? Thunders became more intense.....he closed his eyes....and said You can't escape.....

Part 66

Chandra and Chanakya came back to Taxila safely for the great relief of Akshay. He told him all about what happened in his absence. Akshay told him Malayketu almost attacked them. Chandra said damn you Malayketu, I will crush you. Chanakya said, easy Chandra. Go on Akshay, he also said how Paursa remained extremely loyal and aborted any attempts of Malayketu or other kings to annex Taxila. He used Kalayani's son to distract Malayketu and created great confusion. Chandra and Chanakya were proud of loyalty and intelligence of Akshay. After the talks ended , Chandra when alone with Akshay asked, ah Akshay how is my family? Akshay smiled they are all very well. Chandra you must meet Durdhara now. She is totally changed. She took even news of your missing with great grace and kept the whole family together. Chandra was feeling really proud of Durdhara. He said and Chandra your and Swarna's secret got revealed to her. Chandra shocked, he said how? Akshay said but Chandra she took it with maturity. Chandra shocked, he said are you serious? he said, she took care of Swarna when she was with her second child. Chandra got shocked, second child? Have I? Have I become a father again. Akshay smiled and hugged him, he said Badhai Ho Chandra, you have got a baby girl now ....chandra was on top of the moon. He was extremely happy. He said I must go to meet my angel..but chanakya entered and said no way, you must not be too involved with your secret weapons. Chandra said, Acharya they are my children, I long to see them...Acharya said, and you want to reveal everything? Already many people know it, Nanda is after us, Malayketu is ready to annex us, before he makes an alliance with Nanda we should entrap him quickly. Thank God Nanda's foolish decision to marry Nandini with Bhadrashal aborted any attempts of Malayketu as that fool also fancies Nandini. These fools in love shouldn't hold any power and Chandra I don't want to see you as such a fool. Chandra said but Acharya, they are still my childr...he shouted Enough Chandra, in future you will have plenty of children with your queens, will you be spending all day with them visiting your each queen and her children or spend your days doing your duties? Stop being emotional fool, I won't stand for it. Swarna's children are only born for your lineage to remain continued if in adverse situations you and your legitimate sons get killed. Nothing else, they are not your heir now go and take some rest. Chandra was shocked, he never saw Acharya this angry before but he left to take rest with tears in his eyes ......Akshay felt pity for him....

Part 67

Chandra went to his room and remembered his moments with Swarna ...he said, howI long to see you, you must have felt so many problems in my absence and then he remembered what Akshay told about Durdhara, he thought, I am proud of you Durdhara, you took everything with so much grace and showed youself as much greater person than us both. I wish I hadn't had to break your heart like this. Wish we were commoners, living in our Village, you would prepare food for me and I would go out on my job, when I would come we would eat together and play with our children, our life would have been so simple yet so beautiful...........he started having tears.... He said to himself, great responsibilities demand great sacrifices. I will always stay grateful to you Durdhara and I cannot wait till we get married and I can tell you I love you without feeling any guilt towards swarna...whom I also love a lot. This girl sacrificed her entire life , her dignity for me. I will always stay indebted to her. She sacrificed her Kingdom, her royalty , even her identity for me. If today she demands not to marry you, I will gladly do it because she holds my utmost respect. He remembered his promise towards Nandini and suddenly he laughed...what is happening with me.... I am like thinking about one woman after another.....such a pity ..he laughed at himself.....now I understand why Antahpura is always a chaos for kings and they usually stay away from it, for their peace of mind....and he again laughed....he thought, now I must think about our next plan and he smirked.........
