SOJOURNING IN THE PAST✔️

Chapter 23

1 WEEK LATER ,

Mahitha and theera started their journey to himalaya's. As soon as they reached they are awestruck with the beauty of ice covered mountains. 

Mahitha : how can we go there ?

Theera : i think we should take their help ! 

Mahitha : ok ! 

Mahitha and theera walked towards the huts located at the foot of himalaya's. 

Mahitha : namasthey ji ! 

The woman looked at mahitha from top to bottom. 

Woman : namsthey ! where are you from ? You are so tall !

Mahitha : I am from south India. May i know the place where i can get antidotes ?

Woman : wait ! I'll be back.

Mahitha and theera waited for the woman . Even after quarter hour she isn't back yet.

 Mahitha : I don't think she will come. Let's ask someone else. 

Woman : wait ! Wear this.

Mahitha : what's this ? 

Woman : are you going to come to forest in this attire ? Go and change into the clothes that i gave you. Actually I don't have clothes for your height. So, I altered them.

 Mahitha : thank you ! 

Woman : have this. Don't know when you had your last meal.

Theera : thank you !

Woman : come let's go ! 

The woman took mahitha and theera along with her. After walking for few hours they reached the forest.

Woman : stay here ! I'll get the antidote. Which one ?

Mahitha : kaalasarpam.

Woman : ok ! 

After an hour the woman is back with the antidote. Mahitha touched her feet and thanked her.

Mahitha : maa ! Thank you for your help. You've saved a big empire by bringing this. Thank you !

Woman : ayushman bava ! 

Mahitha looked at her. Mahitha blinked her eyes and let the tears fall down. 

They returned to the woman's house . On that woman's insistence they stayed at her place for the night and started their journey to Ujwala.

1 WEEK LATER , 

A woman is walking towards a cave by covering her face. She is being extremely careful to stay unrecognised. She came across many hurdles in her life and she faced them bravely. But this time she don't have enough confidence on herself. She is extremely confused and then she decided to take help from a person who is not at all familiar to her, but the biggest enemy of her enemy. She decided to give one last chance to her silent battle. If she loses it then it's the last day for her. When she is about to enter into the cave she heard someone calling her name. She stopped in her place. The person who called her came towards her and before that person could touch her she stabbed that person with her dagger.

............

Kritaja : I think they will come soon.

Veerendra deva : yes ! I don't how Mahadeva is doing. How mahitha will react if something happens to her father. She can't bear that. 

Adarsh who is unable to open his eyes or move is hearing everything. Tears are falling from his eyes. He know he shouldn't change the history. But the events which are being claimed as part of our history aren't true. There is much more to the stories that are concluded by our historians. He never know that Vallabha deva and mahitha are cousins. No one knew that they pretended as enemies to dig out the black sheeps. He wondered how Mahadeva is doing. The few hours of time he spent with Mahadeva gave him a glimpse of father's affection. He know it's impossible and in appropriate but he realised that he is falling for mahitha. He don't know why but he is felling like as if they knew each other since ages. He wondered why he is felling like that. He noted mentally that he must find out who stabbed mahadeva once he recovers. He prayed to the god mentally for mahitha's wellbeing.

...........

Mahitha and theera almost reached the outskirts of ujwala. 

Theera : i think we should take some rest princess. My horse isn't budging and even i am so thirsty.

Mahitha : ok ! I'll go and search for water.

Theera : ok ! Thank you princess.

Mahitha and theera act extremely formal in-front of others to make sure no one takes lenience of princess's behaviour with a common woman. But when they are alone they don't be much formal except theera addressing mahitha as princess.

......

Mahitha walked towards the nearby village. She drank some water and got some water in a pot for theera . When she came back she didn't find theera . The horses are dead.

Mahitha : what just happened ? 

Mahitha saw a lady standing in front of a cave. She found her extremely familiar. She thought of going there but stopped as she saw someone approaching her.

.........

How's the chapter ? 

Who's that lady ? 

Adarsh realised that he is falling for mahitha who is a known stranger ! Do you think he will propose ? 

Where is theera ?

( i got a dm from a pranushka fan. She is telling that i am trolling pranushka by writing them as parents. Guys ! Just think properly. This is a two time-line story. I am writing them as people in their 20's , 30's and 50's , 60's. If you look at everything with a negative aspect you'll just find negativity. I'm a huge fan of prabhas since the time when most of you guys aren't even born. I don't think i am insulting someone by writing my story. This book is the first part of a book duology. In the second book even Virosh will be written as middle-aged people. Didn't you guys watch bahubali ? What's devasena's age in bahubali-1 ? What's ballala deva's  age in bahubali-1 ? Please don't spread hatred. She said my story is trash. It's fine. I don't care. I am writing what i feel like writing. I always write stories that have a proper story . I won't write lengthy descriptive chapters because it will make us loose interest. I am writing this to clear those misunderstandings that few people are creating. Thank you for all those people who are reading my story and supporting me. Lot's of love. )
