《Samragni- The Empress》Part 29: Samragni to a normal woman
Advertisement
Sanskar is sitting in the balcony of fort remembering the fight with the girl.
"She can't do like this." he thinks.
Just then Kavitha comes.
"Senapati ji, you have called me..?"
Sanskar: yes kavitha, I have a work for you.
(he says something to her)
Just then Swara comes. "why sanskar is talking to her this night time?" she thinks.
Kavitha is about to go away, she slips Sanskar holds her. now, Swara burns in jealous. She goes away from there frustrated.
--------------------------------------------
The Island..(which I said once, who are trying to occupy gadodiya)
The king of the Island is laughing.
King: the color attack didn't killed her..!
Minister: I said know maharaj, it's impossible to kill her until Laksh is with her. and also Sanskar and Dp are her armors.
King: she herself is the armor to that whole empire..!!
Minister: yes maharaj...
King: then, let's don't kill her. but.. let's occupy a part in her empire. Plan for it.
Minister nods his head.
-----------------------------------
Next morning,
Ragini is running the court. She observes Swara is missing.
One man: Samragni devi, in your ruling all the directions of empire are happy and prosperous. Everyone, are praising you.
Ragini: where the country is green, on that country always the eye of enemies falls. I'm asking about our secret enemies.
All look at Sanskar as he is the whole responsible for security. But, he was lost somewhere. He was remembering how Swara did verbal war with him last night.
Dp: Sanskar..! (Dp calls in somewhat loud tone)
Then he comes to world.
Sanskar: ji Samragni..
Ragini: someone attacked me on holi, and someone escaped from the jail..
Laksh stands.
Laksh: I have a clue for this.
All look at Laksh.
Laksh: there is hand of Adarsh behind this.
All shock.
Sanskar: but, he is dead.
Laksh shows a letter to all which have resemblance of Adarsh's hand writing. That letter states, "I have come back to end Samragni."
All becomes calm.
Laksh: so may be your chote papa Adarsh..
Ragini: baas maharaj Laksh.
Laksh becomes calm.
Ragini: we have seen him dying in front of our eyes. And it's you who did his last funeral. Did you forget it..?
Tears start forming in her eyes.
All look at her silently.
Laksh: Samragni...
Ragini: I know my chote papa was desha drohi. But, it doesn't mean, you have to humiliate him even after death...!
Ragini gets up from the throne as it is not correct to sit on throne when they are lost in emotions.
"sabha for today is finished..!" she announces and keeps going out. Laksh takes a sigh.
Sanskar comes near him.
San: how can you say that Laksh..?
Lak: I found this letter on the gate of palace.
Sanskar looks at letter. "this is his hand writing. But, this is impossible"
Laksh: that's what I'm thinking.
Dp: laksh, Ragini needs you. Go near her now.
Laksh nods his head and leaves. Dp looks on.
Laksh goes to find Ragini. She was sitting at the pond and her tears are falling in the pond. She remembers her moments with Adarsh, but still she couldn't his betrayal. After all, he is her chote papa.
Laksh: Ragini, the tears of a woman are not good for the house.
Ragini looks at him.
Laksh: and tears in samragni's eyes are not at all good for the empire.
Ragini stands. "I'm still a human Laksh"
Laksh: crying for a desha drohi is just useless.
Ragini in anger: he is my chote papa..!
Laksh: he is the one who tried to kill your mama also Ragini..!!

Ragini becomes calm.
Laksh: a culprit should be never excused.
Ragini: of course, he can..? and what do you mean, chote papa is doing this again..?
Sanskar just comes: may be in his name Ragini.
They both looks at him.
San: it's logically impossible for Adarsh's return. So, probably someone to shift target from them, they are using his name.
Raglak looks at each other.
Sanskar: and haa Ragini, Laksh is right. Desha drohi is always a desha drohi, whoever it is..!
Ragini looks on...
The night.
Prince and princess are silently sleeping. Laksh wakes up from the sleep and finds Ragini is not beside him.
He comes out searching for her. in hall he happens to see Sanskar.
Laksh: are you not sleeping Sanskar.
Sanskar: I'm awake to catch a thief Laksh.
Laksh: thief.?
San: yes. It was impossible for me to catch her. atleast let's see, if it's possible to you..?
Laksh: wow..! challenge accepted.
Sanskar and Laksh goes to a forest like place.
San: that thief comes now in black mask. Attack him.
Laksh nods head. Then they see some black masked person is going.
Laksh goes to him and blocks his way. Sanskar smirks, 'I know, you can't raise sword against him.'
Laksh: who are you..?
Asks Laksh and about to remove the mask with his sword, that girl pushes his sword and tries to run, but Laksh holds her hand. She pushes Laksh. Laksh raises sword, she just keeps her sword as defense but, don't attack him.
Laksh keeps raising the sword, but she keeps just as defense but doesn't attack him.
Laksh can't understand why she is not fighting with him and he comes into clarity that it's a woman looking at her waist and he feels her familiar. Laksh pulls her to him holding her waist and she leaves the sword in her hand and her hand is trembling.
"No girl becomes calm like this when a strange man holds her in this way. If she remains calm, that means it is his lover or husband. So, it is Ragini..???"
Laksh thinks. Her eyes which are only visible are looking straight into his eyes. Then he removes her mask and her face is really reveled as Ragini..!!!
"Ragini..!!" amazes Laksh and steps back. Ragini bends her head. Sanskar comes there.
San: I know, that was you Ragini.
Raglak looks at him.
Sanskar: because Samragni is the only opponent for Sanskar's talwar.
(talwar:sword)
Sanskar: and, I also know.. you can never raise sword against Laksh. So, he will revel you..! now, we have to know the answer.
Ragini sternly looks at him.
"you proved yourself as clever again senapati. But, you don't have right to question a empress."
Laksh: here not the positions questioning you Ragini. But the friendship.
Ragini looks at Laksh.
Laksh: you only said we are humans. Samragni is superior to all, but Ragini is friend of us. Can we know why our Ragini is doing like this..?
Sanskar too looks at her.
Then the doctor comes in a run near Ragini.
Doctor: Samragni devi, that prisoner has escaped.
Ragini: what..?(shocks)
The trio runs to the hut. And he is missing. Ragini takes a sigh.
Sanskar: so, you are helping the notorious prisoner who was imprisoned more than 20 years...?
Ragini: yes..!
Sanskar: you have cheated the rules of law..?
Ragini: yes..!
Laksh: why Ragini..?
Laksh was about to hold her shoulders, Sanskar takes the chain shackles and ties them to Ragini's hands.
Laksh: what the hell you are doing Sanskar..? she is empress. You can't arrest her.

Sanskar: laksh, you may not know this rule. Senapati has right to arrest even the emperor when he crosses the limits of law.
Laksh: you need not be this much dramatic. Remove those shackles now.
Ragini: let him arrest Laksh. I will feel happy as an empress that my friend is doing his duty unlike the friendship.
Sanskar hides his tears.
Sanskar: I can now say you as desha...
Laksh holds Sanskar's chin. "don't let that word come out of your mouth Sanskar..!"
Sanskar pushes Laksh. "let me do my duty maharaj"
Laksh takes out his sword, "then I will do my duty."
Ragini shocks.
Laksh and Sanskar starts fighting.
Ragini: both of you plz stop the fight.
But, both are not cared to listen to her.
(Bhahiskaran= banned.)
Laksh and Sanskar are involved in fight without listening to Ragini. Ragini knows very well that she can't stop anyone.
Just then they three hear a harsh voice..
"Laksh and Sanskar stop..!!"
The trio looks at other side. It's maha mantri Durga Prasad.
Ragini: mamasri...
Dp: what's going on here..??
Sanskar: pitasri, maharaj Laksh is getting in between to my duty. So, I'm preventing him.
Dp: what is that duty..? arresting your friend..?
Sanskar: there is no word of friend or friendship in place of justice. Samragni has committed sin by helping a prisoner. She should be arrested for this.
Dp: and you are also forgetting a rule that women should never be arrested with chains. This is anardh(misfortune) to the empire.
Sanskar bends his head. Dp goes near Ragini and removes the chains.
Dp: but, in the eyes of justice, Samragni and normal woman are same. You have to face the punishment Ragini..
Ragini: the society has formed the rules to keep human beings in their limits for the better world. when such rules are overcoming the relations, even Samragni can't speak anything..!
Dp: Ragini, I understood what you are trying to say. You can't support that prisoner. He is a desh drohi. And you helped him.
Ragini: yes, for you all he is desha drohi. But, for me...
Laksh and Sanskar looks at Ragini in confused. Why Ragini is supporting such prisoner..?
Dp takes breath.
Dp: I know, I can't argue with you Samragni. You have same stubbornness still. You don't think about yourself. You always sacrifice something or other for all.
Ragini: until my last breath, I never ever even dream to harm my empire. Bcz, my empire is my breath. And, I was a human when helping him. Not a Samragni.
Dp: this samrajy(empire) is your breath..! So, you will do anything for this empire. Now listen to my judgment..! as, the responsible maha mantri of this empire... samragni, I'm ordering to leave this empire for one month..!
Ragini shocks with his statement. Even Laksh and Sanskar.
Dp: what can be greatest punishment to you to stay out of your mother land..? bcz, you love your mother land..! by the time sun rises at the east, your foot step should cross the borders of this empire..! this is judgment of the law of this empire..!
Ragini places her hand at her chest and bends her head showing that she is obeying the order. She silently moves to the fort. Laksh, Sanskar and Dp silently follow her.
After a while,
Ragini gives chotu to mansi who was in her fort.
Ragini: mansi, take chotu with you for this one month. I know, he can't stay without me. But.. he can't travel more distance being sick.
Mansi: don't worry Ragini. I will look after him..
Swara: Ragini, but I'm there naa..
Ragini: swara, you have a son too. You can't handle both.
Swara cries and hugs Ragini that she is leaving. Mansi comes forth to hug Ragini, but Swara pushes her. however, Ragini didn't observe this.
Mansi feels sad and leaves with chotu.
Ragini is walking in corridor swara is back of her. she comes near Dp.
Ragini: I need to talk alone with mama..
Swara nods her head, and all stands back. Ragini goes near Dp.
Ragini: mamasri..
Dp turns to her with teary eyes. But, Ragini's eyes didn't show any moist.
Dp: are you not feeling sad still... Ragini, you need not suppress your feelings like this.
Ragini: 'No sadness no happiness. No fear no tear. This is how the Chakravarthi should be' these are the words you said me mama. And, I never forget them...
Ragini bends to his feet to take his blessings. Dp blesses her. ragini stands and forwards her hand.
Dp: Ragini..?
Ragini: I want promise mamasri. You are never going to let Swara or Sanskar know who that prisoner is..!!
Dp looks on. Ragini looks at Swara who is standing far.
Ragini: I don't want the happiness of this fort should be shattered. I don't want any misunderstandings among us..! unity is only strength we have..!
Dp: I know Ragini...
Ragini smiles. Dp places his hand on her shoulder and both comes out. Laksh was waiting for Ragini holding their kids in his hands.
Ragini sits in bullock cart. Later she takes prince and princess into her hands. Laksh also sits at back. Dp and all wave their hands to her.
Sanskar remembers Ragini's words before going.
"I hope in my absence nothing will happen to this palace. Bcz, enemies are ready to attack from any direction and there is someone among us."
Ragini looks at Sanskar. Sanskar gives her assurance blinking his eyes. Ragini takes breath in relief.
Swara cries a lot that Ragini has left, Sanskar comes near her and consoles her.
By the time, sun has raised in east... their cart has crossed the empire. Ragini looks back at her mother land.
"This is my first sun rise which I'm going to see in other land." Ragini says patting gently the baby sleeping on her lap.
Laksh who was holding the prince,
"Ragini, now be happy. Shout and laugh. Because you are a normal woman for one month. For one month..!! this is what you wanted always right..!! no responsibilities, no wars, no headaches..!"
Ragini grinning: Lakhs, you never change. You are cheerful always..!
Laksh: yes, I would never change. This is what my goddess liked in me right..!!
Ragini smiles and places her head on his shoulder.
Ragini: finally, I got some time with my kids and husband.
Laksh kisses her head.
Ragini closes her eyes. But, Laksh thinks what Dp said,
"There is threat for Ragini. Those people who attacked Ragini are not from the surrounding kingdoms. They belong to far land overseas. But, we aren't sure who is it. till we find, Ragini needs protection. That's why this fake banishing punishment."
Laksh thinks: if we say this to you, you are never going to leave empire. Bcz, you are always ready to fight than escape. But, you are also a mother to two kids Ragini. You have to be careful for them.
Laksh says in himself and looks at his two kids. He takes princess also into his lap so that Ragini sleeps peacefully. Laksh makes prince and princess sleep on his lap.
In the fort,
Sanskar: tell me pitasri, who is that prisoner. Why ragini is very concerned for him?
Dp remembers his promise.
Dp: some questions have to be left unanswered Sanskar..!
--------------------------------------------------------
By the morning time, Ragini and Laksh reaches a place. There is a small(not very small) hut. In front of that hut, there is a river. That hut is elevated by few(assume five) steps. (think there is lot of space between river and hut.. not too far)
Around the hut, there are many flowering trees and plants. Many birds on them. In front of hut, some rabbits and deers are playing.
{aww... guys, that's my dream place..!!}
Ragini smiles and steps ahead towards hut. Laksh was holding the two kids on his back ties in cloth.
"how is this place Ragini..?" he asks.
Ragini turns back and runs to Laksh. She hugs him and kiss him on cheek.
"It's beautiful..! you always know how to make me happy Laksh..!"
Laksh rubbing his cheek,
"Did you really like this place...? You are a queen.. who lives in palace.."
Ragini: for name sake I'm queen, but you know very well I never enjoyed any pleasures of royal palace. I was a warrior ever..!!
Laksh: so, you liked this place..?
Ragini nods her head in smile.
Laksh: don't say that you like this place normally. You are a normal girl from today, you have to cook, you have to look after kids, you have to do pati seva..!
Ragini annoying: then what will you do..? eat and sleep..??
Laksh: no...! I will get busy in admiring the my beauty love goddess....
Laksh places his hand and grabs her near gently while she is blushing, on other hand kids are laughing.
Precap: Raglak's normal life... the prisoner secret...! The new princess in that new empire... a new hero has arrived..!
