Remembrance
By the time she finished reading the book, it was already dinner time. But she was not feeling hungry. She was feeling happy. Finally, the time came when she could live her entire life with her lover. But before that, she needed to take care of few things. She needed to remind all the people of their past life. And they somehow needed to counter Desais and The face. She knew the method of reviving memories but if she did in her room all alone will it work? But she needed to make it work somehow.
As if to answer her queries, somebody knocked on the door. Whenshe opened it, she was surprised to find Vasu standing in front of her.
Vasu- you have woken up, Sakhi.
Kajal- yes, sakha. And my eyes have opened. But I don't know how to remind the others about their past?
Vasu- you know very well, Sakhi.
Kajal- how?
Vasu- go to your friend, Vivek Payan. I am sure, he won't disappoint you.
Kajal- oh yeah! How could I forget Maharishi Ved Vyas, I mean Vivek. I will find him right now.
After thanking Vasu, she quickly left for Surdhan. When she entered the building, she came to the hall. The hall were she was humiliated as Draupadi. She could feel the anger which had accumulated when nobody was standing up for her. Only Vikarna did voice his opinions. Rest were just scared to say anything.
Her chain of thought was broken by a voice.
Vivek- What are you doing here, Kajal?
Kajal- Oh, I was finding you only, Vivek. Can we talk something in private?
Vivek- Yeah, sure.
Kajal- Not here, but in the secret science lab which you showed me last time.
Vivek- Sure.
They quickly go to the lab.
Vivek- now, tell me. What happened?
Kajal- I want to remind other people of their past life, which is related to Mahabharat. I am not able to understand how to do it?
Vivek- Oh that is the problem. I will search for the solution.
Kajal- Can you please do it quickly, Ved Vyas ji? (bites her tongue).
Vivek- Now you told my correct name, Panchali. I was waiting for this moment only. For this problem, the simple solution recite the mantra over here only. (pointing towards the pedestal where the three holy books were kept.)
Kajal- Meaning?
Vivek- Just stand near the pedestal and with true mind recite the mantra.
Kajal- But how will others remember?
Vivek- Do you remember the saugandh lotus, you had given the brothers?
Kajal- Yes.
Vivek- They are actually, Saugandhik Lotus. Once they bloom, they give out sweet smell. This smell will remind everyone of their past life.
Kajal- Thank you, Munivar.
She went near the pedestal and started reciting the mantra. The books started to fly in air and started rotating very fast. Then a white light emerged from the rotating books. For a sec, everything became white and then everything became still. Kajal opened her eyes. She could feel some kind of new energy unlocking inside her. She turned around to call Vivek (Vyasji). But he was no where to be seen.
Kajal- Vyasji! Munivar! Kaha hai aap?
Silence.
Kajal- (scared) Guruvar, kaha hai aap?
She started looking around the room. Her eyes fell on the science lab. The ancient scientific instruments were there, but they in order, unlike the last time she visited this room. She looked towards the scroll area. They were also arranged in order. She went back to the pedestal. There was a paper sticking out of Mahabharat book. She took the paper out. It was a letter addressed to her.
Dear Yagyaseni,
I knew this day would come. So, I had prepared everything in advance. I know right now, you were looking for me. But you won't find me, since I have travelled back to the time I belong to. My mission of bringing back all the characters to one place and reminding them of their past life is fulfilled by you and Vindhu. I needed to do this, since in this timeline, Evil will come back in it's original form but with more strength. To stop them, all of you had taken rebirth. Draupadi, you had taken rebirth to start the fire of destruction of evil and complete your fire of desires. I wish you best of luck for the mission.
Your Guru,
Dwaipayana Ved Vyas alias Vivek Payan
Kajal understood everything. She quickly got out of the room. Then raced out of the building towards Swarna Haveli. When she reached the reception, no one was there.
Kajal- ARUN! KAKAJI! VAISHALI! Where are you guys? BAL BHAIYA! SAKHA!
All she got was silence. She to third floor and started banging on the doors of Devlani brothers and her sisters. Still she got no response. Then she went to the second floor, and banged on the doors of Kelkar family. Still no response. Then she went to the first floor and banged on the doors of elders and Sengupta brothers. Still no response. She got out of Swarna Haveli.
Kajal-(Worried) where could all of them have gone now?
Then she remembered Maya Sabha, and Army camp. First she went Army camp and checked all the rooms. But they all were empty. Then she went towards Maya Sabha. Just as she neared the gate, she saw one of the hotel staff grieviously injured. She went near him. And put his head on her lap.
Kajal- What happened? Tell me quickly.
The person was trying to say something but couldn't get words out of his mouth. And then he took three hiccups and went numb. Kajal got more tensed. She left the person their and pushed the gate opened. The sight, she saw front of her scared her out of her wits. Everywhere there was blood and bodies of all the hotel staff lying in it. She looked towards the platform. Even that was covered with blood. She raced up the stairs and entered the sabha room. And then went to area where the water pool looked like strong floor.
Kajal- ARUN! Where are you? SAKHA!
She heard a voice behind her.
Voice- Calm down, my dear daughter.
She turned around to see Chandra standing behind.
Kajal-(with scared and angry look) what did you do to them, dad? (shouting)Tell what did you do to them?
Chandra- Oh nothing. I have just tied them and put them in a room. That's it.
Kajal- But what about the dead hotel staff lying front of this hall? Who did that to them?
Chandra- Oh that was done by someone else, I guess I should say someone near and dear to me. You have also met.
Kajal understood who he was talking about. Suddenly something clicked in her mind.
Kajal- How did you get out of that room, dad? Or should I call you Dheeraj alias Dhitrarashtra?
Chandra looked a bit shocked and surprised at the same time. And then started smiling.
Dheeraj- Oh so you have figured out my real identity, Panchali Draupadi?
Kajal- It wasn't difficult to guess, Sasurji. But I was the fool, who had not figured it out at first.
Dheeraj- How did you figure it out?
Kajal- there were many clues. One such clues was given by Vindhu Kaka, when assigned you the room which was given the name "The Blind". I did not think much about it at that time. But when I started reading Mahabharat, I got some idea about what Kakaji was indicating. After that, the continuous meetings and visitings to Indraprasth, After Vaishali didi and Karan's marriage and before mine and Arun's engagement. Then, when I was in hospital after the attack, I saw Sakha looking suspiciously at you. Then your angry expression on the gift which Kakaji had given. Your grim expression on the news of me going to be discharged from hospital by evening. It would have ruined your plan. But then you made another plan. You quickly took me to the hotel after I was discharged before any had joined us. Actually, you had planned to kill me that day only, but your plan was failed by the arrival of Yuvraj alias Yuyutsu. So, you were waiting for the right opportunity to kill me. And then the black door incident happened, which revealed your true face to everyone. You would have killed me long ago, Am I right, Dheeraj?
Dheeraj- You are totally right. You would have already been dead along ago, if some kind of force did not protect you. But anyways, now I have all the time in the world, I will kill you patiently. Don't you want to meet your entire family first?
Kajal- Before that, you haven't still answered my question. How did you come out of the cell. You could not have come out of it easily Somebody surely helped you. Who is it?
Yudh- Me.
Kajal turned around to see Yudh standing behind her. She was shocked. Along with Yudh, his favourite brother Sharman had also come.
Kajal- How did you guys manage to come over here and free him?
Yudh- (Laughing) Oh did you forget that I am the mayor of this city. And second of all, even though this building entirely belongs to Vindhuji, or I should say, Vidurji, but I know some secret passages to this place and even he can't stop me from entering. (😈😈😈 laugh)
Kajal was still confused by what was going. If all her sisters were adopted from different families, then which family was she from. Whose mother was Chandni Callit? Where were her sisters adopted from?
Dheeraj- you want to where are you from, is Chandni your real mother and where are your sisters adopted from right?
Kajal nods her head.
Dheeraj- then listen, Chandni is the mother of Yudh and his brothers. As for Yuvaraj, it's Yashika. I was the mayor of Hastinapur and was running the Kuru Company. Chandni had died after giving birth to all the children through in-vitro fertilisation. I was going into depression because of losing Chandni. But Yashika saved me. I married her and from her I got Yuvraj. But I again had a set back. My young brother Vindhu, who had married Kajol Sengupta, Thought of starting a new business. He didn't want to join my business anyways. So he left my company and started his own Hotel. I was living my life peacefully that is until I Debjyoti Ganga. He was the former mayor of Indraprath city. When I met him, I thought I had seen himsome where. He held a party in the honour of my arrival in Indraprath hotel's Maya Sabha, which as you know is owned by my young brother Vindhu, I saw the some paintings, which then reminded me of my previous life and where I had seen him. He was none other Bheeshma, my step-father. After coming out of the party, I went to the room assigned to me by Vindhu. I could not sleep a wink that night.I was remembering all the humiliation I faced as Dhitrashtra during crowning ceremony. So, Quietly I left my room at middle of night and went towards Debjyoti's room, which was on second floor. It could be accessed in two ways. One was the front door which was next your door and other was the balcony which was joined your room's balcony. I easily reached the room through balcony, since I had the master key for the rooms of Swarna haveli, which stolen from Vindhu, during the party. But just as I was entering, I heard Debjyoti arguing with someone. I hid behind a pillar and heard the conversation.
Person- Debjyotiji, now you need to decide, if you want to tell everything to Kuldeep or not.
Debjyoti-But I can't do that, it will ruin their entire family.
Person- But if you don't tell them now then later, when she grows up, she won't be able to face the negative energies, which will come in new and stronger forms. Some have already taken birth and one energy has escaped the Hell and is ready to help them. When they attain their youth, they will be the first ones to remember their past and try will try harm her.
Debjyoti- But if I tell them now, then it will become her life's mission. She won't be able to enjoy her childhood. Last time also, she never got a chance to see what childhood was. When she arrived in this world, she was already a young girl of 18 years. And her father gave her the love as any father would, but he did not get the time to spend with her as she was married off early. Her brothers or should I say brother and sister never got much time to spend with her, to get to know her better. So, this time I want to her to grow as any normal child would.
Person- Your concern is correct but, if we don't give them any kind of hint now then, the purpose for which she was born will be defeated.
Debjyoti- For what purpose was she born, tell me then. You already know it right, Vidur? Just tell it to me now.
Dheeraj pov- I had already recognized that voice. It was none other then my step-brother, Vidur, or in this life my own brother Vindhu.
Vidur- She was born to fulfill her incomplete lovestory and protect the world from getting destroyed. Or in other words, stopping power going into the hands of Dhitrashtra and Duryodhan, i.e. Dheeraj and Yudh in this birth. If any kind of power goes in their hands, then the world will fall into the hands of asurs, who will destroy the very source of exsistence. For this she will have the support of Pandavas, and Lord Krishna and his brother, Balaram, who have already taken birth, Tatshree.
Bheeshma- Really! Are you telling the truth?
Vidur- Yes, but right now I can't tell you whom have they taken birth as and where are they, right now? But I can tell you, they are really near especially Pandavas.
Bheeshma- This is the best news you have given me, Vidur. I am really happy about it. Now I promise you that I will tell everything Kuldeep as quickly as I can.
Vidur- thank you Pitamah.
Third person view- Suddenly clapping sound was heard. It was coming from the balcony. They both turned around to see Dheeraj standing there.
Vindhu- Brother, you have not gone to sleep yet? And how did you come here?
Dheeraj- Your first question answer is right infront of you and your second question answer is this. (Shows the master key).
Vindhu- when did you take it from me?
Dheeraj- during the party. And now no more questions. Let me do a bit of talking. Pranipat Tatshree. I never thought you both planning behind back to kill me and my family. (Vindhu opens his mouth to speak) Don't say anything Vindhu. I have heard everything. In Kuldeep's house, a daughter had taken birth, right? Right now she will be about 2 years of age. Why don't I kill her now only, so that she doesn't become a nuisance for me later.
Vidur- Please don't do that, Jyeshta. Otherwise, your family will suffer because of this.
Dhitrashtra- How will they suffer?
Vidur- If you kill her then, nothing will go right in your business. Everything will get destroyed just as a fire destroys an entire jungle. You and your family will be forced to live like poor.
Dhitrashtra- Oh so she holds this much control over my destiny.
Bheeshma- Yes, since she is born from fire herself.
Dhitrashtra- Oh yes, How I can forget you, tatshree? You were the one who was really happy to crown Pandu as the King of Hastinapur, when that throne belonged to me. You knew that very well. But Now I am the mayor of Hastinapur. See how the story got changed this time. But you still won't let sleep peacefully right? For whom are you guarding the throne of Indraprastha? Since you won't be on this throne for a long time.
Debjyoti- Oh, so you understood that too. Anyways, If you have finally asked it, then it is for your brother, Pandu, whom might be coming to me for this mayorship any time soon.
Dhitrashtra- Oh so tell me, where is Pandu, right now?
Debjyoti- I also don't know, but nature has given me signs, which told me that this event is bound to take place. And I waiting for that too happen.
Dhitrashtra- I guess nature might have given you wrong signs.
Bheeshma- What do you mean by this, putra?
Dhistrashtra- That you are not going to live for long.(Whips out gun from his jacket) Goodbye Tatshree.(Shoots)
Debjyoti-AAAAAAAAHHHH!(Falls down)
Vindhu- Why did you do this, Jyesth?
Dheeraj- To protect my family and fulfill the mission for which we were born.
Dheeraj pov- After this, I forced Vindhu to not tell the secret to anyone, otherwise I would kill his wife. And then I became the mayor of this city also. But I kept it in worse condition, so that nobody in first glance would realise that it was the famed city which Yudhistir had created. But still the danger loomed over my head. On fine day, while I was on a picnic with my family in my farmhouse in Varnavat forest when I encountered a ghost. At first I could not recognize it due to it's brunt appereance, but slowly when it started talking and moving his hands in such a way as if throwing a dice, then I realized who it was. My brother-in-law, Shakuni. He only told me that I not only had danger from you but from five other girls who were born along with you just one year apart. They were the wifes of pandavas other then you in past life. If somehow all of you remembered your previous life then it would have become dangerous for me. So, I sent few of men to get all of you away from your family, and took on a new identity, Chandra Manjrekar. To not let anyone get suspicious, I hired a person who looked like me to look after my family, till the time all the children had grown up. And Shakuni was there to guide on the right path, by reminding them of their previous life. So, took you and your sisters to Paris. And started living with the new identity. I used to still control the Kuru company and side-by-side I opened a new company, of which you and your sisters became a part of. In this way, I had also made sure that Vindhu does not reveal anything to you. But...
Kajal- But problems started to arise when Vaishali Didi started to handle the company matters as a CEO. You could not keep control about the deals which she signed. And one such deal brought you face to face with the past which you were desperately trying to hide. And you could no longer stop Vindhu, since I used spend moretime with him than you could. The only thing, you could do was to threaten him saying you will kill his wife and then kill him. Which only restricted him to some extent. But he made sure that through me others remember there past life. But over here you played another game. From the time we were here, you were slowly putting your men as hotel staff. So when everyone remembered who they were in real, you used your men to take them in captivity and kill all the other hotel staff who actually tried to resist you. This entire operation was led by Yudh who took you out of the jail. Am I right?
Chandra- Yes, you are right.
Kajal- But I have some questions. May I ask them?
Chandra- Sure go ahead.
Kajal- When I was in hospital, I saw Vasu looking at you suspiciously. Was he the one, who treated you when you had a nervous breakdown had to be admitted in a hospital in India, while we were in Paris?
Chandra- Yes that's right. He was looking at me like that since he had recongnised me as Dheeraj, as at that time I had come to India to meet my son, Yudh, as Dheeraj not as Chandra.
Kajal- How is Deep Devlani related to you?
Chandra- He is my cousin brother, who came from Varanasi, to start his own business. But later, I got to know who he was.
Kajal- How did you manage to get Shakuni's dice?
Chandra- It was in the palace which now lies desolated. It is actually your palace, I mean Pandava's palace.
Kajal- But how did it reach there?
Shakuni- (in rasping voice) since I had kept a pair of same dice hidden in the court room, before I left the palace after the Ashwamegha Yagya.
Kajal turned around and saw the burnt face, Shakuni, staring at her with eyes full of fire. Fire of greed, lust, and revenge.
Kajal-(scared look) But how did you manage to do it?
Shakuni- I had made three pairs of dice from my parents bones. One pair, I used during the dyut sabha, second one while playing with Krishna, and third one I had already hidden in the palace.
Kajal- But why did you make three pairs?
Shakuni- since they lost their power if once played. So, I needed to make three. And see, one of them brought me back into this world. (Evil Laugh).
Kajal understood everything now. But still she had one doubt in her mind.
Kajal- (Looking at Sharman and Yudh) Why did you collect the blood from the brothers that day?
Yudh- For getting back my Mamaji in his actual human form. Now, I just require your blood to finally complete the ritual.
Kajal- What ritual?
Yudh- You will understand later. For how long will ask questions, don't you want to meet your family?
Saying this he went towards a rope attached to a pillar and pulled it. The water in the pool dried up and the pool floor opened horizontally, revealing Devlani family, her sisters, Yuvraj and Kelkar brothers tied up. Everyone was bloody and unconscious from the attack on them.
Kajal- WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO THEM? What have they done? You have not left your own brother also.
Yudh- Oh, Draupadi, for how long you will ask this question. The answer is really clear. To get all of you out of my way to fulfill my dream of world domination. The Asur rule. If you hadn't reminded them of their past life then this wouldn't have happened.
Kajal was in tears. She saw Vasu and Bal were not there. She quietly gave a sign of relief. At least, she could keep her hope alive. She saw a ladder leading inside the pool. She quickly went inside the pool using the ladder and went near Arun. Just as she was looking at him, she felt something hard hit her head. She felt dizzy and fell down unconscious.
