Lakshmila: Time Travel

The Return of Hanuman

Doesn't the title sound like a movie title?

<<>><<>><<>>

It was over 2 months from the time they all had gone. Urmila was worried sick, Ram was as calm as ever and Lakshman didn't knew how to feel.

All of the other teams had returned empty-handed and now the only hope was Hanuman ji's team. They were discussing the whereabouts of the south team when the naare of Shri Ram came into their ears.

"Ye kaisi aavaj hai?" Ram asked. "Aapke naam ki jai-jaikar ho rhi hai." Urmila answered. "Lagta hai Hanuman aur baki sab laut chuke hain aur harshollas se pta chal rha hai ki ve safal hua." Ram said and they all went out.

Urmila remembered something and went inside again and returned with a stick in her hand. "Ye kya hai?" Lakshman asked her. "Danda." She answered. "Vo to dikh rha hai. Ye kyu lai ho?" He asked again. "Mujhse bina mile bina btaye gye the na. Chahe kitne hi safal hokar laute ho maar padegi." She said banging the stick ok ground. Lakshman gulped scared for them.

"Jamavant kaka ko bhi?" Sugriv asked. "Nhi nhi vo to bade hain. Maar to baaki charo ko padegi." She said smiling. He nodded and Angad and team came in view. Urmila hid the stick behind her and miled at them. They came quickly and greeted them. "Aap sabhi thik to hain?" Ram asked. "Aapke karya hetu gye the prabhu thik kaise nhi honge." Hanuman answered.

"Aur kya haal hai?" Urmila asked them smiling sweetly. "Bfia tu suna." Angad said. "Main abhi sunati hu." She said and revealed the stick. Angad, Hanuman, Nal and Niel exchanged glances and then took off in another direction with Urmila following them. "Ruko tum saare. Tumhari to aaj khair nhi. Mujhe bina btaye gye the." She said angrily chasing Nal and Niel first.

"Sorry Sorry Urmila. Hanuman ji ka idea tha." Nal said making Urmila stop and then turn to Hanuman ji. "Honda." She said angrily and them ran after Hanuman. "Maruti." He corrected running away. "Arey Maruti ho ya Honda tumhe aaj Hyundai bna dungi." She said increasing her speed. "Arey par mujhe to rajkumar ne kaha tha aesa karne ko." He said out of breath. Urmila stopped and turned to Angad.

"Sangat." She said and took off after him. "Angad." He corrected her and took off towards the jungle. She too followed him. There, Hanuman came to stand beside Ram and Lakshman panting. Ram was looking at the scene amused while Lakshman was snickering. "Haan to Hanumant btao kya hua tha?" Ram said slapping his back. "Prabhu phle Urmi ko aane dete hain nhi to bhot maregi." Hanuman said making Ram chuckle and Lakshman laugh even more.

Just then Urmila and Angad came back running and Angad hid behind Ram to save himself. "Prabhu bachao." He pleaded while Urmila came to a stop in front of Ram trying to catch her breath. "Urmi shant ho jao. Maaf kar do inhe." Ram said keeping his hand on her head. "Arey aese kaise maaf kar du? Aye bade dost. Kahi bhi bta kar nhi jaate. Ye koi baat thodi hoti hai." She complained.

"Aage se nhi karenge. Sorry." The 4 said holding their ears. "Koi baat nhi." Urmila said smiling. "Chalo andar chalte aur aap sabhi apni yatra ke baare mein bataiye." Sugriv said and they all went inside. Hanuman presented Sita's chudamani. Ram became emotional seeing it. "Ye to meri Sita ki chudamani hai. Arthat tumhe vo mil gyi?" Ram asked Hanuman and he nodded.

"Acha to apni khoj ki kahani sunao." Urmila said excitedly.

"Hum logo ko samudra tat tak kuch pta nhi chla tha aur vaha jate jate ek mahina beet gya. Phir hum saare nirash ho gye aur vahi pe ann jal tyag kar baith gye. Tabhi giddhraj Sampati ne humse kaha ki agar marna hi hai to mera bhojan ban jao. Phir humne unse unki kahani jaani to pta chla ki vo giddhraj Jatayu ke bade bhai the jo ek baar suraj tak race laga rhe the. Jatayu ko surya ki kirno se bachane ke chakkar mein unke pankh jal gye aur vo samudra tat par phans gye. Phir unhi se hume pta chla ki Ravan mata Sita ko Lanka leke gya hai jo vaha se 100 kos dur hai." Nal started.

"Hum log phir se hatash ho gye kuki aesa koi tha nhi jo vahan tak ja pata. Jamavant kaka budhe ho chuke the, main ja to sakta tha kintu laut ke nhi aur Nal aur Niel bhi ek baari mein 100 kos dur chhalang nhi laga sakte the. Phir kaka ne Hanuman ko unki khoyi shaktiyo ki yaad dilayi aur phir vo lanka chle gye." Angad continued.

"Raste mein phle mere saamne ek pahad aya khta ki use devta ne bheja hai taki main vishram kar saku. Maine mana kar diya. Phir merko ek aur rakshasi mili, naam bhul gya, jo khti ki mujhe uske muh mein jaana hai vo tabhi mujhe jaane degi. Main chhota hoke uske muh mein gya aur bahar aa gya. Vo devo ke dwara bheji gyi thi pta nhi kisliye. Phir mujhe aage badhne pe Sinhika mil gyi usse ladke main finally Lanka pahunch gya. Kya Lanka thi! Puri sone ki! Haan to vahan par maine har gali, har ghar mein dekha merko mata Sita nhi mili. Phir main by chance Ashok vatika se guzar rha tha aur merko vaha pe mata Sita mil gyi. Maine unhe aapka sandesa sunaya aur unhone nishani roop vo chudamani diya hai aur apna sandesa bhi diya hai." Hanuman further continued.

"Sandesa? Kya kaha Sitae ne?" Ram asked eagerly. "Prabhu, mata ne aapko ye yaad dilane ko kaha hai ki jab Indra ke bete ne unke pair mein kauya (crow) banke chot maari thi tab aapne uska peecha tab tak nhi chhoda jab tak usne mujhe maafi na mangi. Ab jab Ravan ne mujhe kidnap kiya hai kaha hai aap? Kyu nhi aate?'. Hanuman conveyed the message which made everyone there to tear up.

"Hum bas aa rhe hai Janaki. Thoda aa sabra aur bandh lo." Ram said to himself and then turned to Hanuman. "Aage kya hua?" He asked.

"Prabhu uske baad hume bhook lagi to humne mata ki permission se baag se kuch fal tod khaye. Parantu rat ho chuki thi aur saare ped so rhe the to him phle unhe jaga rhe the aur phir fal tod ke kha rhe the. Par iss prakriya mein vo ped ukhad gye aur phir Ravan ka chhota beta aya Aksh kumar aur-" Hanuman said but Urmila interrupted him by shriek. "AKSHAY KUMAR!!? Yahan kya kar rha tha?" She said surprised. "Akshay kumar nhi Aksh kumar. Difference hai." Angad said making Urmila confused. "Hoga to phir." She said and Hanuman continued.

"Haan to Aksh kumar aaya aur bechara vir gati ko prapt hua. Phir aaya Meghnad aur phir meri aur uski ladai hui. Main jeet hi gya tha ki usne Brahmastra chhod diya mere upar. Toh main bandh gya usmein aur vo mujhe Ravan ki sabha mein le gya. Phir maine Ravan ko samjhane ki koshish ki par vo na mana aur meri punch ko aag lagane ka aadesh diya. Phir meri punch ko aag lagane ke liye merko nagar ke beech le jaya gya aur meri punch par tel mein bhigoya hua kapda bandha gya. Par main bhi main hu main apni punch badhata gya jab tak ki vo that na jaye. Aur jaise hi unhone aag lagai main bandhan se mukt hua aur maine sampoorn Lanka mein aag lgai. Phir main ek baari aur mata Sita ke pass gya aur unse agya lene ke baad vaapas aa gya. Phir uske baad hum saare yaha aa gye." Hanuman concluded and Urmila clapped.

"Vah Honda tum to kamaal ho." She said making everyone confused. "Maruti, Honda nhi." They all exclaimed. "Haan haan Maruti Suzuki Swift, be limitless." She exclaimed making them confused. Noticing their confused expressions she said,"Kuch nhi aap sabhi bas Lanka par kooch karne taiyari karo." Everyone laughed and cheered and went to their own work.

<<>><<>><<>>><<>>

I dunno why but that lanka dahan seen reminded of Adipurush dialogue.

"Kapda tere baap ka, aag tere baap ki, to jalegi bhi tere baap ki." Kya iconic dialogue hai by Hanuman ji😂.
