DhruvTara- Ek Prem Kahani

Chapter 5: Mehendi ke patte

Later that day, Tara came to Mahaveer's room. She saw his getting ready to leave to get the mehendi ke patte. Mahaveer saw Tara enter the room and he turned towards her with a huge smile.

Mahaveer: Kya baat hai Taru? Aap itni chintit kyu prateet ho rahi hai?

Tara: Bhaiji, aapka yu akasmat jaana, aur woh bhi itne dooor, aur woh bhi kiske liye? Mehendi ke patto ke liye..aur woh humme lag bhi rahi hai toh Samrath Singh ke sath vivah ke uplaksh me lag rahi hai..aap itni mehnat kyu kar rahe hai bhaiji? Yaha ki mehendi bhi toh theek hai..hum yaha ki hi laga lenge!

Mahaveer: Taru..aap jab 5 varsh ki thi, tab ek baar wahi se mehendi ke patte laake aapko lagaye tha, aapko yeh ghatna vismrit ho gayi hogi parantu humme acche se yaad hai..yeh mehendi poore Vallabhgadh me milne wale mehendi ke patto se uttam hai, aur itna hi nahi, unme bakiyo se adhik gunn hai, aur aapne humse maanga bhi tha, ki bhaiji humme yeh wali hi mehendi chahiye aapse jab hum bade ho jayenge!

Taru: Bhaiji tab hum balya avastha me the, humme kya gyat tha kisi bhi baat ka! Aapko koi aavarshyakta nahi hai woh wali mehendi ke patto ke liye jaane ki aur unhe yaha laane ki!

Mahaveer: Taru, yeh mehendi vivah ke liye achhi hoti hai, aur phir hummare vansh ka reet bhi yeh hi kehta hai ki aapko woh wali hi mehendi lagani hogi!

Maharani ji walked inside the room, both Tara and Mahaveer were unaware of her coming.

Maharani: Taru, Mahaveer sahi keh rahe hai, yeh aapke liye shubh hoga ki aap waha se aai hui mehendi hi lagaye..

Tara and Mahaveer turned around shocked to hear their mothers voice. Tara wasn't happy with no one backing her on this, and Mahaveer smiled looking at Tara.

Mahaveer: Kya pata, yeh mehendi lagane ke uprant hum ek joot ho kar Samrath Singh ka parda phash kar de aur phir aapka aur Chikitsak Dhruv ka vivah bhi hi jaye!

Tara looked at Mahaveer with disbelief but somewhere a little hope upon hearing about her and Dhruv's marriage. Maharani ji came and kept a hand on both of their heads.

Maharani: Jaiye Mahaveer, aap jaiye nahi toh samay pe wapis nahi aa payenge aap!

Mahaveer nodded and stood up, he held Tara's shoulders to reassure her.

Mahaveer: Taru..aap katapi chintit mat hoiye, sab theek hai, aur sab theek hoga..aapke bhaiji sadaiv aapke sath the, hai aur rahenge! Aapki har maang, aapki har chahat aapko hum laake denge, yeh hummara vaada hai aapse!

Tara: Bhaiji aap apne dhyan rakhiyega..

Mahaveer nodded and gave a beautiful smile to Tara and hugged her. Before leaving he turned to his mother, she blessed him and he left the Raj Mahal on his horse and a dozen of armymen.

Maharani: Taru, humme nahi lagta ki issme Samrath Singh ka koi bhi shariyantr hai..aapne dekha nahi kaise woh Maharaj ko baar baar keh rahe the ki Mahaveer ko na bheja jaye..yeh sambhav hai ki Mahaveer ka jaana hi uske shariyantr ke virudh ho..

Tara: Ha maa..humne dekha toh..aap shayad sahi hai..hum hi adhik sooch rahe hai vyarth me..

Maharani ji looked at Tara, the maturity that was reflecting on her child like face.

Maharani: Humne aap dono ka bachpan gawa diya..na jaane kya kya chooth gaya humse..Taru, aapka bholapan, aapki bachkani harkate, aapke maange, inn me se kuch nahi dekh paye hum..aapko sambhalna, aapke paas rehna, inn sab me se kuch nahi kar paye hum..jab aapka swasth theek nahi tha, tab raat raat aapke paas nahi reh paye hum..aapko humare karan mumta nahi mili, aapke jeevan me kabhi aapko maa nahi mil pai hummare karan..

Tara: Nahi maa..aap jo soch rahi hai aisa katapi nahi hai! Ha hum maante hai ki aapko hummara roona, hatt karna, hummari maange, yeh sab nahi dekhi..parantu aap yeh katapi mat kahiye ki humme aapke karan mamta nahi mili..ha humme kabhi bhi maa nahi mili parantu humare bhaiji ne humme dono Mata ka aur Pita ka, dono ka prem, sneh, sab diya, woh hummare padd pradarshak bane, hummare Guru, hummare sab kuch bane woh..unhone humme kabhi bhi aapki kami ki anubhooti tak nahi ho ne di! Hummare bhaiji ko koi aisa nahi mila, woh humesha humse hi ghire rehte the! Pitaji rajy ke kaam me vyasth rehte the, aur hummare bhaiji, woh sampoorn dhyan aur prem humme dete the..kuch khoya hai toh woh hummare bhaiji ne khoya, humse bade awashy hai woh, parantu unhe bhi toh prem aur sneh ki aawarshyakta thi..unhe toh aap smaran bhi thi maa..unpar kya beeti, woh kabhi unhone bataya nahi..woh bhi toh chote the, parantu unhe humme paalne ka, humme sambhalne ka uttardaitwa de diya gaya..humme kabhi kabhi lagta hai ki hum kitne swarthi hai maa..bhaiji ne hummare liye kya kuch nahi kiya hai parantu humne unke liye kya kiya? Kuch bhi nahi kar paye hum unke liye..

Maharani: Taru..aap Mahaveer ke liye unki khushiya hai, aapne unke liye Chikitsak Dhruv ko laya..aur kya chahiye aapko?

Tara: Nahi maa..humne jo kuch bhi kiya woh sab jo bhaiji ne hummare liye kiya hai unn sabke saamne tuchh hai..

Maharani: Chaliye Taru..jab Mahaveer wapis lautenge tab unse hi pooch lenge hum dono!

Tara: Ji maa!

With this, both Tara and Maharani ji went to their respective rooms. But somehow, somewhere, Tara was feeling a little uneasy, like something wrong is going to happen.

On the other hand, Dhruv was loosing hope day by day after seeing no call from the pandit ji. He was also getting nothing out of the research he was doing on the net. Slowly he also started to accept that this is his fate, maybe he will never meet Tara again, but that little fire of hope was still there.

One day suddenly he recalled the excavation site, the place where Vallabhgadh used to exit! He quickly checked in with the nurse at the hospital of whether he had any appointments, and superisingly, he was free! No appointments that day! He quickly went to the site, it was all there, no one had excavated that site till now. He then approached the required companies and authorities and within 4-5 days the excavation started. They discovered everything that they had earlier discovered which only Dhruv remembered.

After a few days of excavation, Dhruv was also informed about a village being discovered nearby! Dhruv, as he was the one to initiate this search was very much involved in the excavation. He reached the site. The head archeologist, Jiten, took Dhruv to the findings.

Jiten: Dhruv ji, yeh pataka, telescope, joote, toote hue pillars, paintings, aur bohot saara gold aur gold ke accessories mile hai yaha se..most probably yaha pe..

Dhruv: Raj Mahal tha..

Jiten: yes..that right! Aur yeh Rajy ek accha khaasa aameer rajy tha..bohot saara gold, bohot saara paisa tha inke paas! Paintings abhi restore ho rahi hai, so abhi tak faces ya dhang se paintings bhi dikh nahi rahi hai..

Dhruv: Accha Jiten ji, aap kuch village ke baare me bhi bol rahe the..waha se kuch mila?

Jiten: Ji..aaiye chaliye mere sath..
