Part-2

Cornelia speaks'

Megasthenes: Yeh saari baatein toh mujhe vastav mein nahin pata thi'.

[all this while Megasthenes has been writing each and every word coming out of the stranger's mouth]

Cornelia:[to herself] ye saari baatein toh khud mujhe bhi nahin pata thi' yeh hai kaun??? Jo Acharya Chanakya aur Samrat ke bare mein itna kuch jaanta hai!!! Bas thodi pratiksha aur kar lo Cornelia' Thodi der baad toh khud hi pata chal jaayega'

Megasthenes: Toh Shriman' Uske baad kya hua??? Main janne ko ichchuk hun!!!

The stranger: Uske Baad Chandragupta ban gaya naya Magadh Naresh Chandragupta Maurya' Dheere Dheere unhone simant pradesho ko jitna shuru kiya'

Megasthenes: Simant pradesho ko kyon?? Magadh ke padosi desho ko kyon nahin??

The stranger: Hua ye tha ki pehle unka bhi yahi vichaar tha kintu ek din Acharya Chanakya ne ek maa ko apne putra ko daante huye suna' Who maa apne putra ko isliye daant rahi thi kyonki garam chawal se bhari us thaal se who naddan balak Madhya bhaag se chawal utha raha tha jisse baar baar uske haath jal rahe the' Us maa neis balak ko samjhaya ki jab thaal gara ho to pehle kinare se khaana arambh karte hain'

Megasthenes: Aur isi se Chanakya ko bhi simant pradesho par pehle akraman karne ka vichaar aaya'Hai na???

The stranger: Wah!! Aap toh meri soch se adhik hi budhimaan nikle!!! Khair'. Iske baad jaisa ki maine kaha' Magadh Maresh ne ek-ek kar ke kayi Pradesh par adhikaar paaya aur kayi simant pradesho se shaantipriya sandhi ki jiske antargat unhe mile bharat ke kayi rajya aur aisi hi ek sandhi se mili unhe unki pehle patni' Durdhara' jisne jald hi janm diya Maurya vansh ke pehle yuvraaj Bindusara ko' parantu durbhagya vash..!!! Bindusara ko janm dete huye Durdhara ki mrityu ho gayi'

Megasthenes: Who kaise???

The stranger: Uss kahani ko bataane ka yeh sahi samay nahin' Vishwaas rakhiye Megasthenes!!! Aapko aapke har prashna ka uttar aaj raat mil jaayega'.

Cornelia: [to herself] Kya!!!! Ye vyakti Rani Durdhara ke Vishay mein bhi jaanta hai??? Unke Vishay mein to keval Samrat, Acharya, kuch vishvasniya log aur main hi jaante hain' Ise kaise pata???

The stranger: Parantu sankat ke baadal abhi chate nahi the' Vyas[Beas] nadi ke paar ab Seleucus ki sena pahuch chuki thi Chandragupta ke bharat ko dasta ki bediyon mein jakadne'''''''''..

[10 years back]

Western Banks of River Beas'Greek camp'..

Cornelia: [to her servant] Omegas kahaan hai??? Jaao aur use shighra ati shighra yahhan bulao'..

[the servant just bowed his head and ran out of the camp to call Omegas]

Cornelia: Hey devtaaon!!! Sahi marg dikhaao!!! Mujhe nahin'. Mere Pitaji ko!!!!

[Soon A young and strong man dressed in Greek uniform of same age as Cornelia enters]

Omegas:[bowing his head] Aapne bulaaya Rajkumari??

Cornelia: Haan!! Yudhdha ki sthiti kya hai???

Omegas: Samrat Seleucus Byas nadi ke iss paar akraman karne ki puri tyaari kar chuke hain' Aur Byas nadi ke uss paar Sandrokottos ki Bhartiya sena bhi puri taiyaar hai' Kisi bhi pal yudhdha arambh ho sakta hai' keval nadi paar karne ki pratiksha hai'

Cornelia: Oh Zeus!!!! Koi samjhaye mere Pita ko!! Bahut badi Murkhta karne jaa rahen hain wo'

Omegas: Aap aisa kyon keh rahin hain Rajkumari??? Kya aapko Greek sena ki kshamtaon par koi sandeh hai??? Ya phir aapko sandeh hai apne pita ji ki kabiliyat par'..??

Cornelia: [ in angry tone] Mujhe kisi ki bhi kshamtaa par koi sandeh nahi hai.. Sandeh hai to bas iss badle huye samaye aur usse bhi badhkar badle huye bharat par' Ab bharat ki sthiti wo nahi reh gayi jaisi Alexander ke samay thi'. Wahan ke naye raja Sandrocottos ne Bharat ko nayi urja se bhar diya hai jiski liye Pitaji abhi mansik roop se taiyaar nahin the' Unhe to bas apni shapat puri karni thi Bharat wapas aane ki' Hume kuch to karna hi hoga'

Omegas: Hum ab chahe to bhi kuch nahi kar sakte' kal subah tak greek sena nadi paar karke akraman karne wali hai'. Agar avsar mila toh'.

Cornelia: Kya matlab "agar avsar mila toh"

Omegas: Mausam ko toh aap dekh hi rahin hain' Bahut tez varsha kuch dino se ho rahi thi jisse koi bhi sena nadi paar karne ki himmat nahi juta paa rahi thi' parantu [in slow voice] mujhe apne sutro se pata chala hai ki humari sena kal subah hote hi nadi paar kar ke akraman kar degi' Aise mein Uss Sandrokottos ki sena bhala kya kar paayegi??? Humari jeet nishchit hai' Aur waise bhi humari sena mein unse kayi zyaada saini hain'

Cornelia: Pehli baat'. Apne shatruon ko durbal nahi samajhna chahiye' Dusri baat'. Mujhe nahi lagta ki Sandrocottos ko itni asaan yojna se harayaa ja sakta hai '. Aur tisri baat''''. Meri pehli do baatein yaad rakhna!!!!
