RUDRANI (SLOW UPDATE)

chapter 2

Agasthya is sleeping soundly on his bed in his big room. His body is drenched with sweat....his breath became heavy...his eyelids are moving continuously...

Hara hara mahadeva...

Jai Kaali...

These chants are echoing in his ears ...he is murmuring too...

One man is riding on his black Marwari horse...he is holding a sharp sword...it's edges are shining when the sunset rays are falling on that...the sword is drenched with blood...it's handle is decorated with beautiful daimonds and rubies.

Bhairava...run...fast...

He patted at the horse back ...he bent down and pulled the reins.

His horse Bhairava obeyed his master and running in that densed forest as much as it could...

Please wait for me....don't take any action ...wait for me.... my love...

He is looking at the setting sun and praying his god...increased his speed...

Oh lord Shiva...please stop...stop my love..to do...

Agasthya opened his eyes with a jerk and sat in his place. His head is throbbing. Sweat drops are dripping from his forehead. His throat became dry. He looked at the time...4am...

What is this dream ...who is that man...is it related to my regular nightmare...that palace... Why it came in my dreams...oh god..

Agasthya got down from his bed slowly...he is still in half sleep status...he had water and opened his balcony door to cool is mind ...he sat in a swing ...closed his eyes...

What is the meaning behind this dream...i am already suffering with a nightmare which is haunting me almost every day...a palace...beautiful big palace...but today it is totally different. Where is that man going...his horse...sword...Aghhh...

Agasthya pinching his nose bridge...

I could not able to see his face...i saw his back...just his silhouette...

He came back to his room to sleep for sometime but he is not able to sleep. He laid on the bed for sometime but now he is unable to sleep again...he is feeling restlessness. He went to his gym for his regular exercises.

He came down while adjusting his well ironed suit. Annapurna is already there with harathi...she is a big devotee of Godess Durga.

'Agasthya ' she called him . She is holding pooja thali.

'Come here and take blessings of Maa Durga'

Agasthya went there and stood beside his grandmother. He folded his hands but his eyes landed on shiva ling which is there on the pooja mandir.

'What are you thinking Agasthya ' Annapurna asked him while giving Prasad to him.

He took the prasad and ate it.

'Nothing Dadi.'

Later they both headed to dining hall...simple and rich dishes are already placed on the table.

'What is bothering you Agasthya'' Annapurna asked him . She is serving him breakfast as their routine.

Shall i tell grandma about the dream...no...not now...she is already worrying about me. Let it be....will see if it comes again.

'Are you sure about your trip. Shall i arrange everything for you.'

'Haa..arrange everything except the staying part. Because i am going to stay with Rajeswari. ' Annapurna told him happily.

Agasthya nodded and smiled at her.

At Maheshwari's industries & corporation

Agasthya is engrossed in his work. He is working in his laptop and finalizing the presentation which was given by his staff. It is very important to him to win the shares of one of the company. If he wins the maximum shares then again he can continue the position of president of all business companies in India. He is continuing in this position since last 3years.

'Sir...may I come in'

'Come in' he said authoritatively.

His Secretary entered in his huge cabin...

'Sir...the file is ready...you have to sign these papers.'

'Hmm...when is the registration '

'Sir...day after tomorrow you have to go to New York. You will be there for one week.'

'Hmm...so...arrange it for tomorrow.'

'Ok...sir' his Secretary told him and about leave ...

'Make sure everything should be clean in that palace...it should look good...specially the way from city to that palace. Hope you know that i will spend 10days there when i will come back India.'

'Yeah...i know sir...everything will be ready.'

Next day

Annapurna stepped out from her room when she is hearing swishing and rustling sounds of sword.

She slowly started going on the backyard. She knew who are there...and for what...

Agasthya Maheshwari and ...his childhood friend Veera.

Agasthya is dressed in a white dhothi . A red color cloth is tied around his lower abdomen...his strong muscles are bulging when he is moving the sword...his well built bronze color body is stiff and at the same time flexible too...anyone can say that he is an expert and excell in sword fighting.

On the other hand ... Veera is in ink blue color dhothi and white color cloth is surrounding his hard abdominal muscles.

He is not at all less than Agasthya. He is also very much skilled in sword fighting and not only that both the friends are excells in martial arts.

Right now both of them are practicing sword fighting but it is not looking like a normal practice.

They both are immersed in their practice....both are equal in that...this is thier favorite sport from childhood.

Veera is startled at Agasthya's fearlessness...he is observing that his face became red...he is unable to read his mind and his moves...after one and half hour of continuous fighting with sword...

Agasthya twisted in a circular motion ...with a lightning speed he stroked veera's sword at a go. he pushed Veera and about to stab him...

'Agasthya...Noo...' Annapurna shouted and closed her eyes tightly.

She opened her eyes slowly when Agasthya threw the sword on ground.

He sat on his kneels and breathing heavily. Annapurna ran to Veera who is still lying on the floor but he is smiling while looking at his friend.

'Are you fine Veera' Annapurna asked him with concern.

'Hmm...i am totally fine dadi.' he got up slowly from his place and walked to Agasthya. He placed his hand on his shoulder...

'Very good Agasthya...you are defeated me by using a very different and difficult technique. How do you know this...i heared that only ancient Indian sword fighters were using this technique but now i am witnessed it.'

'I don't know Veera...what happened to me...it...it ...just came in my mind and my body responded according to that.'
