"Yha kya kar rhe ho tumlog?" Shouted someone. Aadyshri, Sriansh and Pahal looked towards the direction from where the voice came and they all got shocked to see Guru Kashyap over there. Sriansh and Pahal gulped due to fear. Guru Kashyap approached towards them and while looking towards Aadyshri he said sternly "Aapko yha kon le aya ?". Aadyshri shook her head and replied "Koi nhi. Mai yha khud aayi hu". Kashyap while gawking towards Sriansh said "Acha? Ap yha khud aayi h?" And then again looking towards her he added "Ap ghr jayie. Mai apse whi milta hu". "Par...." Aadyshri started when Kashyap shouted loudly "Maine kuch kha na apse? Ghr jaiye". She nodded sadly and left but not before glancing towards Sriansh one last time.
Kashyap crossed his hands on his chest and gazed both Sriansh and Pahal sternly. They were looking at him nervously. "Kuch khna nhi chahoge tum dono?" He asked sternly. "Hm..hme maaf kar dijiye. Hm bina aapse puche Aadyshri ko yha le aaye" apologized Pahal. "Phli baat wo tumhare liye Rajkumari Aadyshri ji hai. Aur dusri baat ye hai ki tum dono ne galtiya krne ke alawa kuch bhi nhi kiya hai" yelled Kashyap and he added further sarcastically by gazing Sriansh"Kyu hai na Aadyshri ke Pati Sriansh ji?". Both of them looked towards him with shocked expression.
"Ese mt dekho. Mujhe sb pta hai. Wo shisya ke alawa beti bhi hai meri. To wo kb kese logo ke sath rhti hai, mujhe pta lgana pdta h. Mene aaj subh hi tum dono ko rajmahal me ghuste huye dekh lia tha. Bs mauke ke talash me tha ki kb tum dono mujhe kisi sunsan jgh pe akele me milo" informed Kashyap. They were standing there with their heads bowing in front of him. "Phli baat mujhe tum dono bilkul bhi pasand nhi ho, dusri baat mujhe tum dono pr ratti bhr bhi bhrosha nhi hai khaskr Aadyshri ke mamle to bilkul bhi nhi lekin in sb ke bawjud bhi mujhe tum dono se ek madad chahiye. Bolo kroge?" Asked Kashyap. "Ap jo bhi bolenge hm apki madad krne ki puri kosis krenge" replied Sriansh.
"Mai chahta hu ki tum dono Aadyshri ke Angrakchak (bodyguards) bno, sirf 5 dino ke liye" Exclaimed Kashyap. Sriansh's and Pahal's eyes widened after listening this. Kashyap was willing to give them a chance? Is he trust them? But their trances of thoughts ended when Kashyap said "Soch rhe ho na ki mai ye kaam tum dono ko kyu de rha hu? Mai tum dono pr bhrosha nhi krta hu lekin Aadyshri ke khne pr ek aakhiri mauka dena chahta hu. Gunah kia tha tum dono ne pehle pr socha to lga ki hmne bhi ek glti to ki hi thi. Tum dono pr bebuniyad ilzam lga kr. Isliye mai chahta hu ki tum dono Aadyshri ke aangrakchak bn ke kl uske sath Aadampura jao. Kyuki mai nhi rhunga uske sath aur kisi aur ko uske raz ke bare me pta nhi hai siway tum dono ke. Aur sath hi Sriansh tum Talwarbazi aur chalaki me tez ho to Aadyshri ki raksha kr skte ho" he explained.
"Ji thik h. Hm tyyar h iske liye" replied Sriansh. "Kis raz ki baat ho rhi h?" Asked Pahal, confused. "Samjha do apne dost ko aur chlo mere sath Raj mahal tum dono" ordered Kashyap while gazing towards Sriansh and he moved ahead towards his horse. Sriansh nodded and thought "Jb tk Aadyshri nhi bolti mai tb tk ye bat kisi se nhi bat skta ki whi Vashisht dew hai. Mene wada kia tha us se. Maf krna Pahal". "Bta na kis raz ki baat kr rhe the wo?" Asked Pahal, curiously. "Mai tumhe bad me smjha dunga. Abhi chlte hai rajmahal" and they both followed Kashyap.
In the way towards Mansion, Kashyap thought "Bhle hi maine tum dono ko Aadyshri ka Angrakchak bna diya h. Lekin mai apna ek bhrosemand sathi tum log ke piche lga dunga jo mujhe tum dono ki pal pal ki khabr mujhe deta rhega. Ho skta h ki tum dono Aadyshri ko nuksan phichao aur ye mai hone nhi dunga. Aadyshri ke khne pe mai tumhe bs aakhiri mauka de rha hu. Tumhe kya lgta h Sriansh, ki mai Sundarpur me tumhe dhundh nhi paya? Galat. Mai us din ndi ke kinare gusse me phucha zarur tha lekin maine jo dekha usne mera gussa shant kr diya. Meri beti, meri shisya Aadyshri apne jiwan me phli baar itna khul kr hs rhi thi,khel rhi thi,baccho ke jese khilkhila kr masti kr rhi thi. Phli bar. Aur wo bhi tumhari wajah se,tumhare sath. Mai use khush dekh kr bhut khush hua ki meri bacchi Rani saheba ke jane ke bad phli baar itna khush huyi lekin dusri or gussa bhi tha ki wo tumhari wajah se khush thi. Aur aaj bagiche me bhi wo kitna khush thi. Lekin mujhe tum pr wiswas nhi isliye us bholi bacchi ko tumhare hath akele nhi chodne wala. Tum pr wiswas krne ke liye mujhe sabut chahiye honge".
In a short time , they reached in the mansion. They all got off from the horses and approached towards the rajsabha. Maharaja Yogesh was sitting on his throne, discussing about their strategy to defeat their competitors. At that time Kashyap entered there along with Sriansh and Pahal. He bowed in front of him and so did Sriansh and Pahal.
"Aao Kashyap?Abhi hm yuddh ke bare me hi baat kr rhe the" said Yogesh.
"Maharaja, mai aapse kuch mangna chahta hu" requested Kashyap.
"Kya chahiye Kashyap, bolo?" Asked Maharaja Yogesh .
"Jesa ki aap jante hai ki hmare chle jane pe yha sainiko aur angrakchko ki kmi ho jayegi. Isliye mai apse winti krna chahta hu ki ap rajkumari Aadyshri ke surakcha ke liye in dono ko bhi niyukt or le" exclaimed Kashyap while pointing his finger towards Sriansh and Pahal.
Kabir who too was sitting in rajsabha got shocked to see Pahal there. He thought "Ye? Ye dono yha kese aa gye? Ye dono to mera bhanda fod denge. Mujhe jald hi kuch krna hoga. Pr mai khda hokr mna bhi to nhi kr skta, ye dekh lenge mujhe".
Maharaja Yogesh replied with a shocked expression "Ye? Ye dono to whi h?". "Ha Maharaj, ye whi log hai jinhe hmne galat aarop lgaya tha. To kya ye hmara farz nhi bnta ki hm inke liye kuch krke ek misal kaym kre ki agr glti hmse bhi hoti hai to wo hm sudharenge. Inhe ye kam deke hm Kstijgadh ke logo ko ye sandesh phuchaenge ki glti chahe kisi se bhi ho wo use sudhar skta h. Hm hmesha Insaf krte the or krte rhenge" justified Kashyap with a heavy sigh.
"Haa shi kh rhe ho tum. Thik h. Rakh lo inhe kam pr" agreed Maharaja. On this Kabir thought with a frown look "Are kya khakh thik hai. Mai kya karunga ab? Ye dono to mere Kundli aur jiwan se niklne ka nam hi nhi le rhe h.Huh!".
At evening, Aadyshri was sitting near window with Sampoorna. They were painting something when Kashyap entered there along with Sriansh and Pahal.
They both looked towards him. Kashyap passed a smile towards them and so did Aadyshri. But Sampoorna without paying any heed towards him rushed towards Sriansh with smile. "Tum? Tum yha kya kr rhe ho?" She asked, confused. Kashyap explained "Maharaja ne in dono ko Aadyshri ka Angrakchak bnaya h". After listening this Aadyshri jumped on her place with utter happiness and said "Sacchi? Mai to bhut khush hu." Sriansh showed her his eyes that what is she bluttering in front of everyone. And then she immediately bit her tongue in embarrassment. "M..mera mtlb. Achi bat h"she covered up, but still she was smiling bashfully and so did Sriansh.
"Are kya achi baat h isme? Kaka mere liye bhi to inhe aangrakchak bna skte the na? Ek mere liye aur ek Aadyshri ke liye" uttered Sampoorna, sadly while gawking towards Sriansh. On this Kashyap laughed lightly and clarified "To thik hai Rajkumari Sampoorna ap Pahal ko apna Angrakchak bna skti hai". On this Pahal and Sampoorna both neglected immediately while shouting "Nhi.......". Everyone flinched by their sudden behavior and started staring Pahal and Sampoorna suspiciously. "Mera mtlb h mai ese hi thik hu" covered up Sampoorna.
"Tumhe kya hua hai achank se?" Whispered Sriansh to Pahal. "Are yhi to hai wo chudail jiske bare me mai tum dono se baat kr rha tha bagiche me. Raste me mil gyi thi. Naukro ki trh kam krwane lgi thi. Kese bhi bach ke bhaga mai. Mujhe to lga tha ye dasi hai" explained Pahal with a frown.
"Acha thik hai mai chlta hu, kl mujhe niklna bhi hai. Aur ap bhi apna dhyan rakhiega Aadyshri" informed Kashyap and he added further while staring towards Sriansh and Pahal "Aur tum dono ka kakch bahr h. Bahr bagiche ki taraf. To wha chlo. Wha se Aadyshri ka kakch saf dikhayi deta h. To kbhi bhi kuch gadbad dikhe to madad ke liye hazir ho skte ho tum dono". Sriansh and Pahal smiled and trio left from there. Sampoorna too picked up her paintings and said "Mai bhi ja rhi hu.". And left.
At night:
Everyone had already had their dinner. Aadyshri came near window and saw that the small chamber of Sriansh and Pahal was easily visible from their. Sriansh came out from there and stood near his gate. They saw each other from far and passed a smile. Sriansh signed her a signal by his hand and furrowing his eyebrows🤷♂️ which meant "Kya hua?". She shook her head with a smilefrom afar which meant "Kuch nhi hua". He 😴 signed her by ordering "So jao". She smiled and while shooking her head she signed "Nhi". And showed him her tongue, to tease him more. He chuckled and asked by swirling his index finger in circular motion near his forehead side ,signaling "Pagl ho?". On this she immediately puffed her cheeks and crossed her arms near her chest. By seeing this he went in awe. Like this they spent a long time of inaudible conversation and at late night they went to sleep.
Next day Maharaja Yogesh along with Kashyap and his army left for Vijaypur to help Ranapratap,his beloved friend. Kashyap has already informed his trustful colleague that he just have to follow the trio, Sriansh, Pahal and Aadyshri. He just have to keep an eye on them. On the other hand Maharaja Yogesh had given the burden of his throne and public service to Kabir and Daksh for few days in his absence. "Bhgwan kre ye waps hi na aaye. Mughal ise aur iske chamche Kashyap ko maar de" murmured Kabir to Daksh and Kalindi. Daksh and Kalindi smirked and Kalindi added "Tere muh me ghee sakkar mere bachhe. Tb to ye gaddi hmesha ke liye teri". "Aur ye raj path hmara. Bhgwan kre esa hi koi chamatkar ho jaye. Fir to us Sriansh aur Pahal se bhi hme koi khtra nhi hoga" exclaimed Daksh in happiness. "Are baba,ye do Sriansh, pahal to mere liye chitiyo ke brabr hai. Hai hi kya ye dono? Mamuli se karmchari. Aur Aadyshri bhi sirf ek tote ki tarah patr patr kr skti hai. Mujhse lad thode skti hai. Asli preshani to ye buddha Maharaja Yogesh hai aur iska chmcha Kashyap hai" exclaimed Kashyap while greeting his teeth.
Before leaving Kashyap and Maharaja Yogesh met Aadyshri and praised her lovingly. Kashyap met Sumati too and ordered her to take care of her and Aadyshri. Maharaja Yogesh bid good bye to his brother and his family but they all just faked smile and acted like they are with him. But Sampoorna bid him good bye affectionately as she used to love his kaka,Yogesh.
As soon as the army left. Aadyshri, Sriansh and Pahal made their to leave for Aadampura. "Tum Aadampura kyu jana chahti ho?" Asked Pahal suddenly. "Kyuki wha ke Maharaj Sahil ne mujhe apne janamdin pe bulaya tha, no ki aaj h. Hm raat tk phuch jayenge" replied Aadyshri. She added "Tum dono niklo wha ke liye , mai rashte me milti hu tumhe". "Par hm sath me bhi to ja skte hai na?" Interrupted Sriansh. "Nhi Sriansh, see sbko shak ho jayega. Mai thodi der me hi aa jaungi. Aur wese bhi mujhe dayi maa ko bhi jhut bolna pdega ki mai kha ja rhi hu" she explained. "Thik hai. Tum apna dhyan rakhna" said Sriansh affectionately while cupping her face and soon they Marched towards Aadampura.
Here, in the mansion. Aadyshri entered in Sumati's chamber. "Dayi maa?" She called. Sumati who was sewing something dragged her attention towards Aadyshri and while smiling she replied "Are, aayie aayie. Baithiye.". Aadyshri sat beside her on the bed and started "Dayi maa, mujhe baba ki bhut chinta ho rhi hai". "Chinta to hm sb ko ho rhi hai beta. Par thodi himmat to bnani padti hai na" consoled Sumati to Aadyshri. Aadyshri smiled and said "Mai ye soch rhi thi ki mai thoda ghum aau. To mn hlka lgega". Sumati smiled and replied "Ha to jaiye na. Lekin sham tk laut aayiga". "Nhi maa wese nhi. Mai 3,4 din ke liye jana chahti hu. Mna mt kijiyega. Mai dhyan bhi rakhungi" she explained. "Lekin Maharaja..." sumati was about to say when Aadyshri interrupted "Are to unhe bta kon rha h. Ap bs yha smbhal lijiyega. Kisi ko pta mt lgne dijiyega ki mai bahr gyi hu. Man jaiye na. Apki beti hu na...." showing her puppy eyes."Acha thik Sumati agreed. And out of happiness Aadyshri hugged her and soon she too left.
Precap: Vashisht dew: Mai zra kpde bdl kr aata hu. Wha ndi ke kinare thoda chupa jagah h, wha thik rhega.
After some time,
Pahal: Mai bhi zra nha hi leta hu ndi ke kinare, Vashisht dew k sath.
After listening this Sriansh's eyes widened. "Kya?? Yu wha nhi jayega". "Are kh to ese rha h jese Vashisht dew ladki h" pahal mocked. "Tu nhi jaega".
*some awkward proximity between Sriansh and Pahal ahead 🤣
