Recap: Vani and Daksh successfully reached the ancient temple of Garud Dev and met with the ancient Cheel Guru. They got to know how Shukla and his family, in Satyug, manipulated the whole clan and took them to Markaat Shaitan to worship and later helped Chandrakala to overpower the Shaitan and replace him. He gave them a few hints and had Daksh sent to Munnar and Vani sent to Prachin Mandir of the Nags. Bani gave permission specifically to Veer and they headed towards Naglok.
Meanwhile, Ponky and Pawan gathered support of a loyal friend and got searching in an ancient library regarding magical herbs and cures.
..................................................
Veer looked around in amazement. Had it been anyone else instead of Veer, they would have sweat bullets. It was the freaking Nag lok! Here, the powers of the Nags was very high and they outnumbered any other creatures as that they were the only ones there. Moreover, all powerful snakes that ever walked the earth all lived here post their demise in the Mritu lok. Veer often wondered what would happen of them if they died. She would have go back to Nag lok and wouldn't be allowed to go back often. Even in case of emergencies, the lok would call for the moment she gave away all the help she could. He, on the other, would have to go to his Cheel realm as he is the prince. Once his life here was over, he would go back to his realm to rule and then they both need to wait a hundered years to take another human life.
Veer was bought out of all the inner conflicts by Bani. She was patting his face lightly, looking worried.
B: Kya hua tumhe Veer? Kahin is jagah ka koi asar to nahi ho raha na tumpr?
V: Mai thik ho sweetheart! (smirks) jb tumhare zeher ke keher se mera kuch nahi hua to ye Naglok kya cheez h..waise sirf jungle hi dikhe hai mujhe....sb pedo pr rehte h kya?
B: Veeranshu! Samne dekho...
She pointed out at a huge garden and a decent sized house. It was beautiful. It was somewhat like a cave and the design was ancient.
V: Yeh?
B: Ye mera ghar hai. Adi Naagin ka...
V: Waah! Not bad gharwali....chalo apne pati ka grahpravesh karwao
Bani smiled and guided him to the enterance. Veer opened the door and was about to enter when Bani took her half snake roop and lifted him up in his tail and brought him in.
B: Lo, utha kr lai hoon, ho gaya grahpravesh (smiles)
Veer laughed and pulled her close by her waist. Bani pecked his cheeks.
B: ab chodo Veer, mai tumhe ghar dikhati hoon..
Veer let go as he saw his wife's eyes spark with excitement. She showed him around the house. It was well maintained as her loyal followers ensured to clean and care for it at least once a month.
B: waise to Nag Palace me mera apna alag wing hai pr ye ghar, ye mere pass Satyug se hai. Pta hai, dus hazar divya warsh ka intezaar maine yahin kiya tha. (she looks down, sad) Tumhare khilaf itni nafrat palli, hr deewar ne mera dard suna pr ab tumhe yahan la kr lgta hai jaise life has come in a full circle. Tumhe galat samjhne ke liye mujhe maaf kr do.
V: Tb tumhe kahan kuch pata tha gharwali...relax. mai poorani baaton pr zyada gaur nahi krta...waise bhi now you are mine...pr ek baat batao...tum dus hazar divyawarsh tk akeli thi...yahan koi nahi aya..
B: Mere baare me zyada kissi ko pata nahi tha aur Bholenath ke shrap anusaar tb is jagah kea as pass jadui deeware they. Koi naag yahan galti se aa bhi jata to rasta bhatak kr kahin aur pahuch jata
V: Phir tum nikli kaise? Mtlb humara janm..?
B: Kyunki Shrap ki ek kadi tut gayi
V: Kya?
Veer was very egar to know all about his wife's life after Nageshwari and before Bani. She smiled and asked if he wanted to hear a story. He nodded in excitement. She began her tail, from her point of view.
B: Satyug me kya hua tumhe pata hi hai...Phir mujhe shrap milla aur ye bhi kaha gaya ki mujhe mauka milega apni prem kahani doobara likhne ka.....phir bs mujhe intezaar krna tha ki koi bhi nag naagin mujh tk pahunche..lekin koi aisa tha hi nahi jo adi nag aur adi naagin ko jaanta ho, hum kahani ka kissa they bs...ki koi tha jinhe pehla vardaan milla. Pr humara kya hua koi nahi janta tha...
V: tb?
B: Ek bholnath ka mandir hai...Lal tikri mandir...mujhe laga wahi ek zariya hai bs....Us Mandir ke kai raaz hai.. Sbko sochte they ki lal tikri ka kya raz hai? Shyd aseem shaktiyan milengi. Ye sochkr na jaane kitne naag nagino ne mehnat ki..
V: pr?
B: Pr sb lalchi they aur kissi ke agey vo mandir nahi jhuka...aur mera intezaar badhta gaya...phir ek din ek Naagin aayi...Brinda naam tha uska..thi to vo Prachin Mandir ke prangan me pr usne apne saathi ke liye sacche mn se prathna ki....uski pukaar naglok tk pahunchi aur is lok ne naagino ko bheja uski madad ko pr jb uske saathi ki jaan ki baat ayi, tb mujhe ehsas hua ki ab mujhe hi jana hoga..
V: Tum pran-dan de skti ho?
B: Nahi.. pr tum bhool rahe ho ki mandir ka raaz thi mai, sbko laga pata nahi konsi aseem shakti hogi pr Mandir ka alsi raaz usme chupa hua gyaan tha. Aaj bhi kayi sach hai jo vo mandir apne andar smeta hua lekin vo konsa tandav hai jo vo raaz kholne pr mandir ko vivash krega, vo samay ke sath lupt ho gaya hai... pr coming back to the story....mujhe ane pr jo vivash krega, mujhe uski ek iccha poori krni thi....meri kahani sunne wale ko mandir ek vardaan deta...us Naagin ki iccha to apne sathi ka jeevan tha...
V: Lekin...iska mtlb us mandir ke raaz se shaktiyan to judi hui thi ...agar koi tumhare kahani sunkr aseem shakti mangta to mandir ko vo dena hota
B: Baat toh sahi hai...pr lalachi man ho to mandir kabhi nahi madad krta
V: Phir?
B: Kya phir? Phir Naglok ko mere astivya ke baare me pata chala...nag pandit aur aghori to jante they...lekin mere sewak jagruk hue aur nag lok me mera swagat hua... mai yahan ke system ka hissa toh nahi hoon pr audhe me sbse badi thi...pr Adi nag se milne ki ijazat nahi thi mujhe...kuch saal mai is lok me rahi aur phir vo din aya jb hum teeno se janam liya...aur age ka tum jaante hi ho
Bela: Age ka hum sb jaante hi hai
Vani turned to see Nagrani Bela at their door. she smiled and greeted them by joining her hands and Vani did the same.
Bela: Maaf krna, mera iradaa aap dono ki baaten sunne ka nahi tha ...mai bs abhi aayi aur..
Bani: Tum kaisi baaten kr rahi ho...tumhe safai dene ki koi zarurat nahi h
Veer looked at her with confusion.
Bani: Ye Nagrani hai....mai tumhe sbse chupa kr yahan is ghar me isliye lai kyunki mujhe naglok me sbse hume accept kiya ya nahi, ye nahi pata pr Bela pr bharosa tha isliye usse hi yahan bula liya
Bela: Ji, pranam Cheelon ke Rajkumar
V: Hello chalega mujhe...pranam and all this title makes me feel aged.
Bela laughed: Ji..
Vani then enquired if the nags had issues with them. Bela told them that most nags had accepted them with open hearts. Many were glad with their Milan and after Bholenath's blessing their union, almost no one questioned them.
Bani: Pr jo Jai ne kiya hai, vo usne akele kiya ho mujhe nahi lgta...
Bela: ho skta ho uski gang me cheel ho
V: Sirf vo taklu Shukla hi hai...uske alawa abhi tk mujhe nahi lgta koi hai...
Bela: Sb Nagon ne toh adi nag ko bhaga diya tha....jb se sbko unke markaat se mille hone ka pata chala...usne kul ko dhoka diya hai...sb nag nafrat krte hai...shesha tk ne mana kr diya toh mujhe nahi lgta....ek minute...mujhe kuch din pehle kuch naagon ke gayab hone ki khabar aayi thi..
Bani: Kitne they..
Bela: kuch 12 nag honge
V: Bs? That is nothing Bani...we'll tackle them.
Bela: haan pr unme se kuch bohot mahir fighters hai...
V: Pr vo Jai ke sath?
Bela: Dekhiye! Apke aur Adi Naagin ke Milan se kisi ko taklif nahi hai pr Adi Naagin ki shaktiyon ka lalach rakhne wale bohot hai..
Bani looked away quietly. It wasn't new for her.
V: lekin vo toh koi ek hasil karega..
Bela: nahi, agar Adi Naagin pr kai log ek saath var kare aur unki maut ho to vo shaktiyan sbme bant jayegi..
A picture of 12 nags attack Bani flash before Veer's eyes and his clenched his hands in anger.
V: Kya bakwas hai ye...tumhare bholenath tumhare saath aisa kaise kr skte hai?
Both the females looked at him in shock. None liked to hear a word against Bholenath and were taken aback when Veer said something about him when it was clearly Jai and other greedy snakes at fault.
Bani: Veeranshu?
V: Kya Veeranshu? Bholenath ne tumhe Vardaan diya hai kya tumhare back pr bada bada target likh diya hai?
Bela gulped. Underneath all the fun and chill exterior, this man definitely had rebellious and powerful side that must be feared. She could tell this just by looking at the look in his eyes that showed anger and fear at the same time, fear of losing his wife.
Bani: aisa mt bolo..
V: Kyu nahi bollun? Mere pass shaktiyan, Bela- tumhare pass shaktiyan hai?
Bela nodded and looked at Bani- worried at this outburst.
V: hume agar koi maar dega to hum mar jayenge lekin Bani ki shaktiyan transfer transfer kyu khelti hai...
The ladies were left speechless.
V: I never want to say this but if your lord was so pleased by you then why give you such a boon that it makes you are target for everyone. Your powers are actually not your own, they can be owned by anyone but at what cost? Your life. Why?
They didn't have an answer and Veer left them in the hall as he headed towards the room in anger.
.................................
Ponky and Pawan were quite surprised when they saw Maria bring in Daksh along with lunch that day. Daksh explained them everything and they got out all the books they could spot with green cover and golden ink. They found two such books and sat with them. Daksh began scanning one while Pawan and Ponky got started with the other.
D: Mil gaya
Pawan and Ponky looked up. Relief shining on their faces.
Ponky: Sure?
D: Iske effects sun...ek halka neela dhuan to kissi bhi icchadhari cheel ki sanse cheen skta hai...insaano pr iska asar jaanlewa nahi hota.
Pawan: yahi hai...Bhaiya ne bhi kahan tha ki dhua blue tha..
D: Ye paudha kafi rare hai...aur ye dhuan sirf isko jalane se nahi nikalta...usme kayi aur butiyan lagti hai....Barak pahadi pr jo ek gufa hai na...wahan ke ass pass ugta hai iska ped....
Ponky: iska ilaj kya hai..
D: Is dhuye ke asar se khud ko bachane ke liye Cheelon ko isi ped ki jad ko apni jeeb ke neeche rakha hua hona chahiye....aur ek second..
Pawan: kya hua?
D: Yahan likha hai ki ye dhuan kewal ek certain distance se failana hota hai....humare ghar me kiya gaya tha pr bahar guards ko kuch nahi hua mtlb jadoo ghar ke andr se kiya hoga. Hume wahan jaana chahiye...kya pata kuch hath lg jaye.
.......................................
Bani and Bela spoke for a while Veer sat fuming trying to control his anger. He had said what he felt and to be honest, the women couldn't think of an answer. They both had immense faith in their Lord and his judgement.
Bela: waise...kya satyug me bhi sb apki shaktiyon ke peeche they?
Bani: Shaktiyan milne ke kuch dino me hi meri maut ho gayi thi pr mujhe ye nahi pata tha ki meri shaktiyan mujhe markr mujhe marne wale ko milengi...
Bela: ek adi naagin ko marne ki koshish koi burai hi karegi aur Bholenath aisa vardan nahi de skte jisse burai acchai pr hawi hokr shaktiyan prapt kre...
Bani: Tum bhi bholenath pr shaq kr rahi ho?
Bela: shaq nahi kr rahi...pr mujhe apke sathi ki baat sahi lagi...ye vardaan nahi ....shrap hai....shayad ye apke shrap ka hi ek part hai...
Bani's eyes widened. This made sense. Could it be that Bani had not fully understood her story even today. She noded at Bela and left to talk to Veer.
...................................
D: Bs! Yahi ped hai..
Daksh pointed at a tree. It was small and looked wild. Pawan and Ponky pulled it out and took a part its roots. Pawan put the tree back while Ponky wipes the root clean and divided it into three. He kept the rest in his pocket.
They then headed towards the Markaat cave.
Flashback
D: Is phool ka ras bhi chahiye hota hai aur ye phool to sirf din me khilta hai aur isko torne k eek ghante ke andr isko ras me nahi dala to jb lakdiyon ke saath jalaya jayega tb kuch asar nahi hoga.
Pawan: Mtlb jahan ye phool hai, uski ke ass pass banaya hoga...
Ponky: ye pado...is ras pr suraj ki ek bhi kiran nahi padni chahiye...mtlb andheri jagah pr banaya hoga..
D: Jahan ye ugta hai...uske pass sirf ek hi andheri jagah hai...Markaat Gufa...
Pawan: Us Shukla ne zarur ras ki tayari waha ki hogi..
Flashback ends
The three of them entered the cave and heard some noises. They hid behind a rock and noticed Shukla making a lot of potions while Jai was speaking to a nag. Suddenly, Jai slapped the nad and left with him. Shukla was still busy with his potions.
Daksh slowly went towards him but before he could reach Shukla, he tripped on a rock and Shukla got alert.
S: Kon hai yahan?
Daksh gulped, hidden. Ponky and Pawan put a chunk in their mouths. Ponky came forth.
S: Tum ?
P: Haan mai...
S: Mujhe laga sbse pehle tu tapkega...
P: Sbko mara na tune... (he kept going towards Shukla and cunningly threw a piece of the root towards Daksh)
S: Toh? Tu kaise bacha?
P: Mai ghar pr nahi tha...
S: Tbhi...koi na ...ab mr..
P: Abey...Buddhe...tujhe to mar hi dunga mai..
Ponky opened his golden eyes.
S: Pehle dhang se bol to le...
Shukla laughs. Ponky couldn't speak clearly as he had a root under his tongue. Shukla did some quick thinking and picked a branch. He poured the ras over it and lit it...He threw the branch near Ponky and laughed. But, to his surprise, ponky too laughed and was soon joined by Daksh and Pawan.
D: Ab tera kya hoge Takle?
....................................
Precap: Vani unveil the full curse and their story. Shukla is dead. Jai conspires.
My apologies for not being able to post this yesterday.
