Chapter no 5

Sitara hain hum Sitara, Vijaynagar ki Rajkumari Sitara Rajwanshi.

Sitara gently pressed his head as she looked at Dhruv with a smile full of tenderness.

I promise bhai hum unn sab ka jeevan narak bana deinge jinhone aapko yeh peeda di.

Sitara promised. She bent down and placed a soft kiss on his forehead.

Per humare bhai ke sath aisa kiya kisne?

Sitara said to herself.

Hum batate hain.

Sitara heard a familiar voice and turned around only to see Anusuya standing at the door.

Anusuya,s eyes were soft as she looked at Sitara. Anusuya walked towards her. Her anklets chimed creating a beautiful melody of it's own.

Aap janteen hain kya Kuch Anusuya?

Sitara tried to ask in a calm voice but she failed and it came out rather urgent.

Kuch nahin sab Kuch.

Anusuya said in a tone laced with immense pain. She rushed to Dhruv and sat beside him, caressing his hair.

Her heart filled with guilt as she cried looking at Dhruv.

Dhruv 21vi sadi se aaye thy Mahaveer ko theek kerne...

She told her everything standing up, how Senapati killed a soilder so that Dhruv couldn't treat Mahaveer, how Tara risked her life and he saved her, how they completed Mahaveer,s surgery, everything.

Dhr...uv Bhai ji ne na sirf Mah...aveer ke pra...an bachaye, balke aur...ton ke adh...ikar ke liye ladai ladi, Maha...rani ji ko agni parik....sha se bac...haya, Ta...ra ke liye ap...ne seene per talv...aar le li, ap...na pari....var khoya, ek sh...rap ke Kara....n ph...ir inko pa...ta ch....ala ke in...ke pi...ta jeevit hain toh in...ko aisa laga jaise inko dho...ka diya gaya hai, to...h inh...one tal...vaar ut...ha li, iss wa....jah se jab Mah....araj ki ha...tya hui to...h shaq in...pe gaya kyu...nke tal....vaar inke hath mein thi.

Anusuya chocked on her breath unable to speak further. Tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably as she pressed her lips together tightly trying her best to not to cry.

Nahin bhai ji kabhi aisa nahin ker sakte.

Sitara said hurriedly but confidently. Her eyes welled up with tears as she looked at Dhruv.

Nahin kiya tha.

Anusuya said. She stood up gathering some courage.

Bhai ji ke pita ji ko chodne Rajkumari Tarapriya 21vi sadi gayi thi per wahan ek hadse mein Chikitsak Dhruv ke mata pita ki mritiyu ho gayi, aur yahan valabhgarh ko Rajkumari Shayam Mohini ne apne adheem ker liya, woh Dhruv bhai ji ki sunderta per mohit ho gayi, phir unse prem kerne lagi, per kyunke Dhruv bhai ji Tar...a ki ore sam....arpit thy, inhone kabhi na...hin dekha unki ore , per unhone Rajku...mari Shay...am Mohini se vivah ke liye haan ki iss shar...t pe ke woh val...abhgarh ko cho...dh ke ch...ali jaye aur navr...angvan ko na jal...aye, unh...one Ta...ra ki, valabhgarh ki, un...ke par...ivar ki rak...sha ki, Sh...ayam Moh...ini ke pr...aan bac...haye. Mahaveer Dhr...uv bh...ai ji ka pak...sh sun...na cha...hate th...y per Mahar...ani aur Ta...ra sun...ne ko tiy...ar nahin thy. Ja...b sa...tya samne aa...ya toh Dhr...uv bhai ji ko ph...ansi ho...ne wa...li thi. Ta...ra ne rok di. Ta...b se Dh....ruv bh...ai ji bah...ot badal chu...ke ha...in, w...oh peh...le jai...se na...hin ra...he jo kh...ud ke liye kha...de ho...na ja...nte thy, ha...ste khe...lte thy, bil...kul bad...al gaye ha....in woh.... Ap....ni bhavna....yein chupana shuru ker di.

Anusuya,s voice shivered in middle as she explained the pain he went through.

Anusuya cried falling on her knees. Bitter tears rolled down her cheeks.

Ocean of tears flowed down Sitara,s beautiful eyes. She bit the inside of her cheek to suppress the sobs that were building inside her. Her attempts went in vein as a shrill cry escaped her lips. She fell on her knees and cried bitterly

Anusuya looked at her. She took a deep trying to compose herself and wiped her tears. She stood up and walked towards Sitara. She held her and made her stand. She hugged her and Sitara cried on her shoulder.

Aap...ko pa...ta hai Anu...suya...

Sitara said in between her cries. Anusuya pulled away from the hug and nodded at Sitara telling her to speak.

Ma...ine kab . hi bhi Dh...ruv bhai ji ko ko...i pe...eda pohan...ch...ne na...hin di th...i aur na unh...one mu..jhe kab...hi ku...ch ho...ne diya Hu...m don..on ek dusre ki dha..al thy.

Sitara said, her voice broke. She again bit the inside of her cheek feeling sobs building up inside her.

Her breathes turned heavy as she gulped visibly. Her throat went dry. Her voice was hoarse as she told Anusuya about their bond. Anusuya smiled upon hearing about their bond. Gulping the lump that formed in her throat, she slowly squeezed Sitara,s hand to offer her support.

Per hum unhein nahin bacha sake. Nahin bacha sake unhein hum uss peeda se jo unhone sahi, aur seh rahe hain.

Sitara said with a heavy exhale. Her voice laced with the ever so consuming guilt. Her heart was heavy with guilt that was ready to consume her or maybe kill her from inside. She chocked on her breath and coughed feeling that her insides will explode due to all the emotions she felt at that moment.

Sitara aapki koi galti nahin hai. Khud ko dosh mat dijiye.

Anusuya said trying to console her.

Kaise dosh na dein hum Anusuya... Jab humare bhai ji yeh sab jhel rahe thy tab hum maze se apna jeevan ji rahe thy. Sab humari wajah se hua hai.

She blamed herself.

Kuch bhi aapki wajah se nahin hua hai. Aapko khud ko sambhalna hoga Rajkumari. Dhruv bhai ji ke liye aur hum vachan dete hain Dhruv bhai ji ko humne bhi bhai manna hai aur ab apke sath hum bhi Dhruv bhai ji ki raksha karenge.

Anusuya said softly but there was a different kind of fire in her eyes.

Sitara took a deep breath trying to compose herself and wiped her tears.

Anusuya...

Sitara called out softly, her voice was still hoarse and heavy from crying.

Dhanyawad. Aap humare...

Anusuya shook her head sideways stopping her from speaking further.

Dhruv bhai ji humare bhi bhai hain. Mante hain ke khoon ka bandhan nahin hai, per humne unko poore mann se bhai manna hai.

Anusuya said softly, her eyes filled with ultimate tenderness, love and honesty. She turned and walked back to Dhruv. She sat besides him and started caressing his hair.

Shama ker dijiye bhai ji. Jab aapko humari sabse zyada avashakta thi hum aapke sath khade nahin ho sake. Humein der ho gayi aapke nirdosh hone ka praman laane mein aur Tara ko dene mein. Humein shama ker dijiye hum ek achi behen nahin ban sake.

Anusuya said with a heavy exhale. Tears streamed down her cheeks and she sobbed closing her eyes. She kissed the back of his palm out of respect.

Sitara let out a heavy breathe. She smiled as a tear rolled up on her cheek seeing Anusuya,s love, affection and respect for Dhruv. Her heart softened. She walked towards Anusuya and placed a hand on her shoulder.

Shant ho jaiye Anusuya. Ab Dhruv bhai ji ko kuch nahin hoga. Hum donon unki raksha karenge.

Teeno.

They both heard a familiar voice and turned around only to find Mahaveer standing there. He came towards them and smiled.

Hum teenon. Kyunke chikitsak Dhruv humare bhi param mitra hain. Hum mante hain ke pehle hum asafal huye hain per....

Mahaveer stopped unable to form words.

Per aapne koshish poori ki thi bhai ji.

Sitara said softly. Mahaveer smiled at her and she hugged him. He hugged her back and caressed her hair. Mahaveer and Sitara had always shared a bother sister bond. Mahaveer loves her like his own sister.

They both pulled away from the hug.

Humein Maharani Saraswati aur Rajkumari Tarapriya se baat kerni hai.

Sitara spoke calmly.

Ji. Aap aaiye.

Mahaveer said and Anusuya and Sitara nodded their heads in positive.

Location: Raj Mata Saraswati,s chamber!!!

Beta...

Raj Mata Saraswati begun but Sitara cut her off.

Bhagwan ke liye humein beta mat kahiye.

Sitara tried to speak politely. She joined her hands.

Aapne humare bhai ji ka paksh sun-na ki koshish tak nahin ki?

Sitara asked in a pained tone.

Humne jo dekha woh...

Toh aapne unko dand de diya.

Sitara,s tone was sharp and unforgiving as she cut her off.

Chikitsak Dhruv ne kaha tha ke woh Maharaj ke praan le leinge, unhone talwar utha li thi aur...

Unse yeh baat chupai gayi thi ke Ravi pita shree jeevit hain?

Sitara questioned cutting her off.

Haan per...

Sitara raised her palm in front of her indicating her to stop.

Yeh baat ke Ravi ji unke pita ji hain Dhruv bhai ji ko kahan se pata chali.

Sitara asked in a sharp tone.

Senapati Samrat se.

Tara replied looking down.

Sitara looked at Maharani Saraswati and Tara for a minute and started clapping, slow yet sarcastic making their hearts race.

Kamal hai na? Pehle yeh baat chupai jati hai ke Ravi ji jeevit hain aur phir yehi baat mere bhai ji ko pata chalti hai unke sabse bade shatru senapati Samrat Singh se. Wah

She said still clapping slowly yet sarcastically.

Per Dhruv ko aisa nahin lagna chahiye tha ke humne unko dhoka diya hai...

Bas maa!!!

This time it was Mahaveer who spoke angrily raising his palm in front of Raj Mata Saraswati, glaring at her with his eyes full of flames.

Hum mante hain humse galti hui aur uske liye hum apne param mitra chikitsak Dhruv se hath jod ker shama mange ge. Aap chikitsak Dhruv ki galtiyan nikal ker hum sabki galtiyon per perda nahin daal sakti.

Mahaveer said angrily.

He walked towards Tara and stood in front of her.

Hum aapse kuch prashan poochna chahate hain Tarapriya.

Mahaveer said. Tara,s heart skipped a beat hearing Tarapriya from Mahaveer. At this moment, she knew that she has disappointed him. Tara looked at him.

Agar chikitsak Dhruv aapse koi baat chupate aur woh baat aapko apne shatru se pata chale toh aapko kaisa lagega?

Mahaveer asked.

Tara looked at him shocked. Her heart stopped beating for a moment as she gazed at Mahaveer, now understanding Dhruv,s trauma and feelings.

Betrayal!!! That's what he might have felt at that particular moment when he learned the truth from Samrat Singh. Her eyes welled up with a fresh round of tears as she understood Dhruv,s state of mind which was at that particular moment.

Humein lagega ke humein dhoka diya gaya hai.

Tara whispered looking down as tears rolled down her cheeks retracing the path of previously dried ones only moments ago.

Humare bhai ji ne itna sab kiya, aapko, Tara, poore Raj parivar ko, valabhgarh ko sabko bachaya aur aapne unhe mritiyu dand de diya. Humne Dhruv bhai ji ko humesha roka ke bhai ji itna acha hona sahi nahin hai. Per jante ho unhone humesha Kya kaha?

Sitara ended her sentence sharply in the form of a question.

The whole chamber had a pin drop silence. An uncomfortable silence enveloped the chamber as the people stood exchanging glances. Sitara,s calm yet true words in her sharp tone hung heavy in the air. The uncomfortable pin drop silence threatened to eat everyone up.

Ke ghrana ko prem se jeeta jata hai.

Sitara,s declaration broke the uncomfortable silence.

Sitara looked at them. She took a deep breath before continuing.

Per yahan toh prem ke badle ghrana milti hai, nishtha (loyalty) ke badle mritiyu milti hai.

Sitara said walking in circles around Tara and Raj Mata Saraswati.

Aur jab Dhruv bhai ji ne Rajkumari Shayam Mohini ke pran bachane chahe aur kaha ke insaan ke praan bachana unka dharam hai toh aapne kya kaha tha?

Anusuya who had came in the chamber and was listening everything silently, asked in a mocking tone.

Yeh dharam nahin dhoka hai.

Raj Mata Saraswati,s own words rang in her eyes causing her to close her eyes.

Yeh dharam nahin dhoka hai.

Anusuya repeated Raj Mata Saraswati,s words in a sharp tone.

Mahaveer, Tara and Raj Mata Saraswati closed her eyes rather painfully as the words reached their ears.

Hum poochte hain yeh dhoka kaise hua? Ek chikitsak ka dharam hota hai ke woh sabke praan bachaye, chahe woh shatru ho ya mitra...

Sitara said in a sharp tone causing Raj Mata Saraswati to look down in shame.

Sitara took a deep breath trying to control her raising anger but the rage she was feeling was uncontrollable.

Aapko pata hai jisko mritiyu dand milta hai na, ya koi bhi saza milti hai, usko bhi apni safai dene ka poora adhikar hota hai.

Sitara said the basic law causing Raj Mata Saraswati and Tara to look down in shame.

Per kya humare bhai ji ko yeh adhikar diya gaya tha?

Sitara questioned. However she knew the answer but wanted to hear it out from their mouths.

Humne kaha tha ke humein chikitsak Dhruv ka paksh ek baar sun-na chahiye. Per aap donon ne humein kuch kerne hi nahin diya. Aaj aap donon ki wajah se humara sheesh bhi laja se jhuk gaya hai.

Mahaveer said downing his head in shame. Raj Mata Saraswati and Tara looked at him shaking their heads sideways.

Anagha looked at the scene in shock unable to believe her eyes and ears and stambled backwards in shock.

Bhai ji/ Mahaveer.

Tara, Sitara, Anusuya and Raj Mata Saraswati exclaimed in unison.

Tara, Sitara and Anusuya rushed to him and uplifted his head.

Aapne kuch nahin kiya bhai ji.

Sitara and Tara said softly in unison.

Jisne kiya hai shama usse mangni chahiye.

Sitara said in rage looking at Tara and Raj Mata Saraswati one by one.

Socho Tara agar Dhruv bhai ji ki....

Sitara hissed and gulped the word not being able to utter it.

Ke baad yeh satya Samne aata toh kya kerti tum?

Sitara questioned in a curt tone. Tara,s breath got stuck in her throat imagining the worst possibilities.

She stambled backwards. Her breathes turned heavy and she closed her eyes painfully.

Chu....p ker ja...o Sita...ra.. ch...up ker ja...o.

Tara chocked out a low whisper not being able to hear Sitara,s harsh question. The question broke her heart mercilessly. She chocked on her breathe. Her throat tightned and her blood ran cold.

KYUN CHUP KER JAYEIN TARA? KYUN CHUP KER JAYEIN HUM? OH JAWAB NAHIN HAI KYA?

Sitara shouted at her sarcastically, rather roughly.

Nahin tumhe jawab dena ho ga Tara. Jawab do. Agar Dhruv bhai ji ke nirdosh hone ka satya aap sab ko unki mritiyu ke baad pata chalta toh? Kya kerte aap sab?

Sitara asked looking at everyone present in the chamber.

Tum kya kerti Tara? Jawab do kya kerti.

Sitara questioned angrily holding Tara by her shoulders. Her breathes were heavy but she cared less.

Tara,s eyes welled up with a fresh round of tears. Her breathes turned heavy. Sweat dripped down her forehead and she closed her eyes as Sitara,s words rang in her ears.

CHUP KER JAO SITARA CHUP!!!! NAHIN SUNA JA RAHA HUMSE!!!!

Tara shouted on top of her lungs falling on her knees pleading her to stop. Mahaveer and Anusuya knelt down and held her.

Kyun Tara? Jiss manushe ko aap log mritiyu dand dene wale thy. Aaj ussi ki mritiyu ki baat sun ker itni peeda kyun ho rahi hai?

Sitara questioned in a voice which was a mix of anger and sacaresm.

Dhruv bhai bhi aise hi gidgidaye thy na?

Sitara asked emotionlessly.

Tara and Raj Mata Saraswati,s head jolted up hearing her. They remembered how Dhruv pleaded them to be heard once. Tears rolled down Tara,s eyes uncontrollably while Mahaveer, Anusuya and Anagha barely controlled their tears but Sitara looked at Tara and Raj Mata Saraswati with stoic expressions.

Aap humari putri se aise baat nahin ker sakti Rajkumari Sitara.

Raj Mata Saraswati said composing herself upon seeing her daughter crying uncontrollably.

Aap ko kyun lagta hai ke hum aapki putri se aise baat nahin ker sake?

Sitara questioned angrily, her voice full of confidence while crossing her arms across her chest looking into Raj Mata Saraswati,s eyes with her eyes full of flames which caused Raj Mata Saraswati to gulp visibly and take a step back.

Everyone looked at Sitara shocked. They had never seen her this angry. She was unstoppable today. Her eyes full of flames. If eyes could burn then everyone could have been turned into ashes by now.

Aur Raj Mata Saraswati yeh mat bhooliye hum Dhruv bhai sa nahin hain jo, jo bhi aapki beti ya aap log boleinge maan leinge. Sitara hain hum Sitara, Vijaynagar ki Rajkumari Sitara Rajwanshi. Aag hai hum mein. Humare chahne walon ke upar ek anch nahin aane dete hum. Aur agar aa jaye toh hum poori duniya ko aag laga sakte hain.

Sitara said angrily and took a deep heavy breathe trying to calm herself down.

Agar hum chahein na toh iss poore valabhgarh ko aag laga sakte hain aur koi humse ek prashan tak nahin karega.

Sitara said in a dangerously calm voice sending shivers down everyone's spine.

Per hum aisa karenge nahin kyunke hum itna gire huye nahin hai.

Sitara said calmly.
Per agar avashakta hui toh hum yeh kerne se se peeche nahin hatenge.

Sitara said rather calmly.

Sitara shant ho jao.

Anagha said softly gathering some courage as she walked towards Sitara and kept a hand on her shoulder in an attempt to calm her down.

Kaise shant ho jayen Anagha? Dhruv bhai ji abhi tak murchit hain. Hum nahin dekh sakte unko aise.

Sitara said in a voice full of emotions. Anagha hugged her and rubbed her back to calm her down.

Shant ho jaiye Sitara. Dhruv theek ho jayeinge.

Anagha said softly trying to calm Sitara down.

Aur nahin toh kya woh bilkul theek ho jayenge. Humare liye unko theek hona hi hoga.

Mahaveer said softly as he left Tara after making Tara stand up. He walked towards her and caressed her hair.

Sitara nodded her head in positive. He gave her a short hug and Sitara smiled and left from there towards Dhruv,s chamber without a slightest trance of guilt as she knew that she did right by giving Tara and that spineless Raj Mata Saraswati a reality check.
