TATVA

Ch 10 - DHARTI TATTA

Kesha flew away with Siraj in the hairs.

"We need to find Kesha anyhow!" Gurudev said.

They all got up, Mohi took her snake form and started moving, Siya flew up in the sky and Agastya and Pulastya followed Mohi walking. After walking for a while they reached a village where Nomad Tribes use to live.

"Hey!", a boy came there and said, "it has been late night, you all can stay here".

"Thanks",Siya replied,"but where? And we don't have money".

"You can stay with me, we don't take money ",the boy said.

When Agastya stood up and saw the boy, he saw a mark or tattoo kind of thing on his forehead. He closed his eyes and tried to remember about the element sign, the mark on the boy's forehead was the earth element (Dharti tattva). Agastya was about to say but a lady from the huts shouted "Kshitij, come and have dinner".

"Coming Aunt", the boy replied, "you all must be hungry too, come on come with me".

They all went with Kshitij and Agastya didn't anything about the sign to anybody. When Agastya went inside the hut he saw that everyone in Kshitij's house had a sign or tattoo on their body like Kshitij. He thought that it can be a co-incidence and he let the matter go.

Everyone finished their food but no one talked to Agastya .

"You all are still angry on me?"Agastya asked with embarrassment .

"Did he do something bad?"Kshitij asked with curiosity , he was a joyous lad and always curious to know to everything.

"He lost one of our friends",Mohi said annoyed with Agastya.

"I can find him",Kshitij initiated, "i visit every part of the jungle".

"No you can't find him",Pulastya said.

"Please, i'm sorry everyone",Agastya said.

"I think you guys should forgive him",Kshitij advised, "people make mistakes when they are angry, sad or unhappy with someone but they will not wish their bad".

Everyone was quite, Agastya stood up taking a sad face and was leaving the hut. Siya hugged him from the back , then everyone else also hugged him as they forgave him. Kshitij was happy to help Agastya get his friends back, and Agastya told him to join in .

"Don't worry your friend Siraj will be soon with you",Kshitij said.

Then Kshitij took them to their village temple where they were venerating to lord shiva and Maa Durga and shutting the temple as it was night letting the god and goddess sleep. Everyone was near the temple praying in the crowd when a women shouted, when everyone looked back , they saw a couple of huts burning.

"Someone please help kids are inside the hut",The women cried.

Agastya shouted, "someone bring water".

Kshitij told that there is no water source here, a river is there but 5 km aways.

Mohi was about to take her cosmic form when Gurudev stopped everyone to not take their cosmic form as it would harm their identity and everyone will know it. When Agastya turned Kshitij was not there.

Kshitij was in front of those burning huts as the fire was rapidly spreading.

"What is he doing?"Mohi was confused.

"I know what he is doing",Agastya said and moved forward.

Kshitij kept his left foot back folded the right as a lunge position and joined his hands, then bent over and touched the ground.

"Dharti tattva",Agastya said.

Kshitij mark on his forehead was shinning green. By his hand he pick a lot of mud , sand from the ground ad threw it on one of the huts and some part of it stopped burning.

"I'm going to help him",Mohi said.

"Me too", they all agreed, and were now in their cosmic form and Gurudev told the villagers to move back. Siya threw arrows of water and blew cold winds, Agastya by his cosmic powers went inside the hut and started taking out all the kids, Mohi poured water on the huts. Kshitij was just stopping the fire and was not looking at anyone. Everyone was helping him and the villager's were shocked. Agastya saved all the kids and he burnt his forearm too. Agastya's team and Kshitij saved everyone and even the fire stopped.

The villagers were relieved but still in shock and Kshitij's aunt was also in shock and was a bit sad.

"So, this was your secret",She said.

"Yes!", Kshitij replied, "i wanted to tell you but i didn't have the courage".

"Why will i be angry on this",Kshitij's aunt started crying, "i'm proud of you and you are still precious to me".

"Kshitij", Agastya said , "you know you are one of us so you have to come with us now there is something for which i would need your help".

Kshitij nodded to yes but his aunt didn't want him to go.

"You know Siraj is still lost",Siya said.

"I need to go aunt", Kshitij said getting emotional,"as my work will be done i will come back".

"I'm proud of you",she said and hugged him, he took her blessing and started packing in his hut. His aunt helped him with watery eyes. After the night he departed with his team. In the way Agastya told him everything.

"I have seen kesha", Kshitij told.
