PARITYAG : The story of Aadyansh

The evil plan of Sriansh (Part-1)

The only soldier who was left alive frightened by Kashyap and thus as per order he took the dead body of warlord along with the letter with himself to the Mughal's mansion. While on another side, due to extremely harsh battle Vashisht dew was injured. He had wounds on his arm and shoulder. Kashyap too was injured but not as much as Vashisht dew. “Ap thik to hai rajku…Vashisht dew?”asked Kashyap with concern. In reply Vashisht dew just nodded his head and said “Mai thik hu, aj raat ko aaram kar lunga to thik ho jaunga ”. “Ham ap log ka shukriya kese kre. Apne hmari jan bchayi  h. Ap to hmare liye hmare rakshak h, hmare bhagwan h” said a villager while joining his hands and bowing in front of Vashisht dew and Kashyap. Vashisht dew in response replied “Kesi baate kar rhe h ap. Ap sab mujhse bde h. Aur ye mera farz h ki mai apne logo ki madad kru”. Some villagers came in front of them while joining their hands 🙏 and one of them exclaimed “Jab aap logo ne kha tha ki aap hmari raksha krenge to hme aap par wiswas nhi hu lekin ab ye dekh kar...” and he stopped. He again continued with his teary eyes in chocked voice “Ham to bas...bas bdle me..yh...yhi kar skte h” and some of them bowed in front of Vashisht dew and Kashyap to touch their feet. But they immediately stopped them and took their steps back. “Ye kya kar rhe h ap? Ye kya acha lgta h?” grievanced Kashyap. One of them while joining his hands asked “To kya kre hm? Aplogo ne.....” but he got interrupted by Vashisht  dew’s words “Ye hmara farz h. Aplog ye sb krke hme sarminda mat kijiye.”. Pahal and Sriansh who were standing far away and watching all this started their conversation. “Dekha kitne tez h dono? Logo ko kese apne baat me fsa liya?”taunted Sriansh. Pahal nodded his head and replied “Chod hme kya, wo to acha hua hm shi samay pe us ldayi se bhag kr yha aa gye”.
After a while villagers returned to their homes and some of them got engrossed in their work. Vashisht dew and Kashyap sat in their hut which was provided by the villagers to them. They were applying ointment on their wounds when Sriansh and Pahal reached there. Kashyap’s eyes turned red with anger as soon  as he saw both of them. He stood with a jerk and throwing his stool hard on the floor shouted “Kha the tum dono? Jab sath me rhne ko kha tha bich yuddh me kha bhag gye the?Haa?”. Pahal tried to speak “Ji...ji....wo..hm” but soon got interrupted “Kya hm wo hm wo? Kha the?”. Sriansh replied “Are Pahal ke chot me se Khun bhne lga tha islie mai use dur baithane le gya. Lekin...lekin ye fir behosh ho gya tha to..to..ha..mai whi ruk gya”. “Behosh hi hua tha na? Mar to nhi gya tha?”shouted Kashyap. But Vashisht dew hold Kashyap’s hand firmly and said in a calming voice “Jane dijiye Guru, mujhe wese bhi inse koyi ummid nhi thi”. Sriansh and Pahal left. After a while it was time for their dinner:
Sriansh and Pahal gave a smirk to each other and served the food to Vashisht and Kashyap. They too sat on their places with their plates. Actually they had not mixed poison in their food. The poison was only mixed in “Daliya”(porridge) which was going to be served for Kashyap and Vashisht dew. Pahal and Sriansh were going to have “dal dhokli”. “Ammm...Ek kam kro ye khana tum log khalo. Aur apna khana hme de do” ordered Kashyap. Pahal interrupted “Lekin hmne wo khana to apke liye bnaya tha, fir ap hmara khana kyu?”. Vashisht dew said “Nhi hme v whi khana h jo tum kha rhe ho.”. “Lekin...” before Pahal could say anything Kashyap stood and exchanged their plates with Sriansh’s and Pahal’s plate. And while staring towards Sriansh he gave a smirk and said “Khao na?”. “Bhut chalak h ye” mumbled Sriansh to himself. Pahal murmured to Sriansh “Ab kya kre? Ye zahar wala khana hm kese khane?”. Sriansh replied nothing. He just deliberately overturned the plates and all their food fell on the ground. “Are maaf kijiyega mujhse hmara khana galti se gir gya. Koi baat nahi aplog khana kha lijiye. Hamdono kuch aur intezam  kar lenge” he acted.  Kashyap smirked and sarcastically  said “Haa wse hi na jese bahr paani ka matka tumse galti se gir gya tha khana bnate wakt? Koi baat nhi.”. Then he moved towards Sriansh and murmured in his ears “Wse makkhiya bde kaam ajati h hmare ye pta karne me ki khana shi h v....” and he smirked. Sriansh and Pahal left.
Meanwhile in Mughal' mansion:
The soldier entered with the horse carrying dead body of warlord. The watchmen and other soldiers got dumbstrucked by seeing the dead body. The ambassador of the mansion ran towards the emperor in haste and said while panting “Badshah....Badshah...wo..wo...”. The mughal while getting irritated shouted “Kya baat h? Kya wo wo lga rakha h?”. “Wo hmare Shenapati...unhe kisi ne mardiya” exclaimed ambassador. After listening this news the emperor along with ambassador ran towards  the balcony area. They reached there and saw a shocking sight. The dead body of warlord was lied on the horse. One sword was stabbed in his stomach. There were many scratches and marks on his body. The ambassador forwarded a letter to the emperor and said “Ye is lash ke sath bandh hua tha”. The emperor who was till now shocked and was burning in rage snatched that letter in arrogance and opened it. The so was written in the letter:
“Mughal Sartaz Ye meri phli aur aakhiri chetawni hai tumhe, ki tumne agar Aadampura ya is desh ke kisi v nagrik ko preshan karne ki koshish ki to aagli chatawni tumhare pariwar ko tumhare hi laash par milegi. Abhi v samay hai apne logo ki lekar nikal jao hmare desh se.
Tumhari maut
Vashisht dew ”
After reading the letter he screamed “Kon h ye Vashisht dew? Uski himmat  kese huyi hmare logo ko marne ki?”. The ambassador got scared but after gathering some courage he replied “Kuch pta nhi. Ye...ye ek sipahi bach gya h hmara jo ye lash lekar aya”. The emperor shouted on the ambassador “Uski himmat kese huyi hmse takkar lene ki?” and while staring towards the soldier with eyes full of anger and rage he shouted “Ye kayar zinda nhi bacha h. Is par Raham kiya h usne. Aur raham khane wale log meri shena me nhi ho skte....”. And while saying this he immediately took out his sword and severed soldier’s head from his torso with his sword. Everyone got dumbstrucked.
IN Aadampura:
Sriansh and Pahal were sitting near a tree when they saw Vashisht dew coming out from the hut. He had his plate in his hand which was full till now. Seemed like he had merely ate 2,3 morsels. “Jab use kuch khana hi nhi tha to hmara khana kyu lia?” taunted Sriansh. Vashisht dew moved little bit and gave his plate to a villager who was begging for food. The beggars thanked him. After that Vashisht dew started food to some of the villagers who were starving. He was finding some difficulty in moving as he was injured. “Huuhh!! Jab pta h ki chot lgi h, chal nhi skta to logo ko ghum ghum ke khana kyu bat rha h? Aur khud kyu nhi kha rha h? Huhh!! Dikhwa h sab.”said Sriansh to Pahal. “To is hisab se tu bhi dikhawa krta h” replied Pahal. “Kya mtlb?” asked Sriansh. Pahal replied “Kyu? Jab koi baccha hmare pas khana mangne ata tha to tu jan bujh kar unhe bhga deta tha, kyuki tu janta tha ki mai dunga unhe apna khana. Aur fir jab mai unhe apna khana de deta tha to tu apna wala hissa mujhe de deta tha. Tu hmesa se esa hi krta tha”. “Ee..Eesa...kuch...kuch nhi h” said Sriansh while getting hesitated. Vashisht dew who was busy in service saw Sriansh and Pahal. He took 2 more plates and moved towards Sriansh and Pahal. He gave them plates while saying “Tum dono v kuch khalo.”. Pahal took it but Sriansh just ignored it and left while saying “Mujhe bhukh nhi h”. Whereas Pahal was busy in enjoying his meal. Sriansh went afar from them and laid on a bench while closing his eyes. “Lo beta khalo, jid mat kro” this sentence dragged his attention towards the voice. He saw that a lady was feeding food to her stubborn kid who was unwillingly eating it. A sudden smile crept on his face while seeing them. He was continuously gazing them. “Bhukh nhi lgi h to mai khila du beta?” an old lady asked to Sriansh. He immediately sat with a jerk and asked “Aaa..ap kon?”. She replied with a sweet smile “Kya fark pasta h. Hu to mai ek maa hi. Aur tum logic ne mere ghr walo ko aaj bachaya h. Kya mai aaj apne is bete ko apne hath se khana khila sakti hu?”. Sriansh nodded his head with moist eyes. She fed him with utmost love. Then while leaving she said “Agr fir kabhi apni maa ki yad aye tumhe to tum mere pas aa jana”she said. Sriansh confusingly asked “Lekin apko kese pta chla ki mai apni maa ko yad kar rha tha?”. The lady while pointing her finger towards Vashisht dew said “Usne btaya. Kha ki tum apni maa ko yad kar rhe ho aur ye v kha ki mai tumhe khana khila du”. And she left. Sriansh saw Vashisht dew who was busy with his sword and other weapons. He stood and went near him. “Mai apni maa ko yad nhi kar rha tha. Galtfahmi hui h apko” said Sriansh sternly. Vashisht dew who was till now sharpening his sword stopped and without looking towards Sriansh replied “Achaa? Mujhe lga kr rhe the. Thik h koi baat nhi.”. Sriansh started him and was about to go when a thought hit his head “Wse ek baat puchu? Jab tumhe itni chote lgi h to is halt me bhi ap inlogo ki madad kyu kar rhe hai? Kya milta h is se?”. This time Vashisht dew sternly answered “Agr tumne kbhi kisi ki madad ki hogi ya apne lakshya ko bina kisi lalch (greedy) ke paya hoga to iska jwab tumhe pta hoga. Aur agr nhi to is swal ka jwab kbhi nhi milega tumhe”. “Kya h is Vashisht dew me esa jo hr bar mujhe iske taraf jhukne ok mazbur kar deta h? Ek alag sa samman (respect) jesa jagta h mere mn me iske liye” thought Sriansh in his mind. But soon shook his head to throw these thoughts from his mind. “Nhi nhi esa kuch nhi h. Mai bs jyada soch rha hu. Ye bs apne ap ko acha dikhane ke liye natk kr rha h. Aur mai iske natk me nhi fasunga. ”. Then he saw Pahal was waving his hand to call him. Sriansh went near him. Pahal dragged him somewhere. Kashyap saw them and thus followed them secretly. “Ye itni raat ko ye dono chup ke nadi ki taraf kyu ja rhe h. Dekhna pdega ”mumbled Kashyap to himself. “Kya h? Yha kyu le aya mujhe?” asked Sriansh while giving a frown look. “Kyuki hmne bulaya ” said someone from afar. He went there and saw that Thilak kumar was standing there along with his soldiers. Sriansh looked towards Pahal who nodded his head in assurance. “To kam pura hua?” asked Thilak kumar. “Nhi lekin jald hi ho jaega ” replied Sriansh. Pahal while interrupting “Lekin kese? Hmare pas ab bs 5 din h”. “Maine is bar bhut alg socha h. Chinta mat kro kal hi Vashisht dew ka aakhir din h.” said Sriansh while smirking. “Thik h lekin yad rakhna sirf 5 din h. Aur bina kam ke laute to mare  jaoge. ”. With that Thilak Kumar left. Par to krga kya?” asked Pahal. Sriansh replied “Btaunnga lekin abhi nhi ,mujhe av isi wakt khi ke liye niklna h, tu bs itna yad rakh ki kl tujhe kese v krke Us Guru  ko Vashisht dew se dur rakhna h. Khi uljha ke rakhna h”. Pahal nodded. Kashyap who was this from afar was not able to listen their conversation but he saw Thilak kumar thus he understood that it was all done by Sultangadh. Sriansh and Pahal are intruders Of Sultangadh. He too left from there to inform Vashisht dew about this.
In Mughal mansion:
The scenario was tensed. Everyone was scared because of rage clearly visible in the eyes of emperor. “Mujhe nhi pta khi se v pta lgao us Vashisht dew ka aur use mar do” shouted emperor. “Mai kuch madad karu?” said someone from the entrance. They all looked towards the entrance.
