Nagakanti was lost in thoughts when Adarsh hugged her from behind, this time she didn't say anything and let him hug her.

A~(teasingly) kya hua? Ab nahi kaho gi ke tum koi khaane ki cheez nahi balkay humesha ke liye paas rakhne ki cheez ho?

Nagakanti smiled.

N~tumhara mujh par poora hak hai. Aur tum ne jo mujhe yoon galay lagaya hua hai, us mein meri marzi hai isliye main kuchh nahi keh rahi moorkh. Jab marzi nahi ho gi toh keh diya karoon gi. (he smiled and nuzzled in her neck) Waise Adarsh, kaun ho ga woh jis ne aisa jaan leva hamla kiya tum pe? Mujh se tum chhin jaatay agar woh upaaye mere dimaag mein na aata, main tumhe dobara nahi kho sakti.

Adarsh tightened the hug and she closed her eyes feeling relief from his hug.

A~fikar mat karo, main aur tum humesha hum he rahengay, janam badlengay, peediyaan badlengi, lok badlengay, yug badlengay, lekin Adarsh aur Nagakanti humesha ek rahengay, kiun ke humara pyaar hai he itna sacha ke hum ek doosre ko dhoond he letay hain. Dhoonda tha na maine tumhe?

She smiled warmly.

N~jaanti hoon Adarsh. Par mujhe bohat darr lag raha hai. Ke ek naye dushman ne janam le liya hai, ab bhi koi khatra hai tum pe.

A~tum he ne kaha tha ke cheelo'n ke rajkumar ki suraksha bhi aadi naagin ka kartavya hai. Jaanta hoon tum apna kartavya nibhao gi, bas khud ko khatre mein mat daalna

N~tumhare liye toh main har ek khatra utha loon Adarsh. Apni jaan se ziada tumhari jaan pyaari hai, tum mujhe chhor kar toh nahi jao gay na? Main tumhare bagair nahi jee sakti Adarsh.

A~jeete jee toh kabhi nahi jaun ga. Abhi toh kaha ke janam badlengay, peediyaan badlengi, lok badlengay, yug badlengay, lekin Adarsh aur Nagakanti humesha ek rahengay.

He pecked her temple softly. She turned to him and hugged him emotionally, he hugged her back.

Nagakanti prayed in her heart: hey Bholenath, hum dono humesha aisay he rahein, ab koi humare beech na aaye, Adarsh par bhi koi khatra na aaye

Later:

Nagakanti went to Bholenath temple and went on her knees folding her hands and closing her eyes.

N~hey Bholenath, main naag vansh ki sab se ziada shakti shaali naagin hoon, mere pyaar pe koi khatra na aaye isliye maine aadi naag ko maar diya, Hashwrindan ko maar diya, toh phir kaun hai woh jis ne Adarsh pe hamla kiya? Kaun hai jo usay maarna chahta hai? Koi raasta dikhaiye Bholenath jis se main pata kar sakoon ke kaun hai woh dushman.

Strong winds blew and her dupatta began to fly off from her shoulders, she opened her eyes and stood up and ran to catch it and Hashwrindan who was passing from there in his snake form got trapped as her dupatta fell on him. She came running and picked her dupatta and saw him in his snake form.

N~ye kya? Ye toh bilkul Hashwrindan jaisa hai, (Hashwrindan tried escaping but she grabbed him and took him near snakeroot plant, she broke one of it and took him to Bholenath temple and dropped him there, she squeezed the snakeroot over him just in time and he weakened and came in his human form shocking Nagakanti) Hashwrindan, tum? Toh woh tum he thay jis ne Adarsh pe...

H~haan, main he tha, main he tha jis ne Adarsh pe woh naagmani ke zeher mein duboya teer us par chalaya tha, haan woh jarri booti bhi maine he kharab ki thi, lekin tum... Tum ne is baar usay bachanay ka raasta dhoond liya Nagakanti, pichhle janam mein us ke liye apni jaan de di, is baar usay woh zeher apnay andar sama kar bacha liya. Tum achhi tarha jaanti ho ke hum ek doosre se bohat pyaar kartay thay, beech mein woh aya aur tumhe mujh se chheen gaya, pehle bhi aur ab bhi.

N~woh jaan de kar aaya hai, tum jaan le kar aaye ho.

H~maine bhi apni jaan di thi tumhare liye Nagakanti

N~us se pehle tum ne Adarsh ki jaan li thi. Premi wohi jo prem ke liye larr sakay prem ke liye marr sakay, mere liye woh larr bhi sakta hai aur marr bhi sakta hai. Vaastav mein marra bhi tha.

H~larra kab tha magar? Larra toh tum se tha, tab bhi aur ab bhi. Pehle bhi kaha tha tum se ke aisi 100 baar jeet hui ho gi us ki, 100 baar kiya ho ga ye sab

N~maine bhi pehle kaha tha ab bhi kehti hoon ke ishq sirf mujhse kiya hai us ne, aur mujhse he karay ga. Magar tum Hashwrindan, tum kya jaano ishq kya hai? Tum mujhse prem kartay thay is baat ke daaway kartay ho na? Aisa kaisa prem tha ke meri khushi mein khush honay ke bajaaye tum ne mere he prem ki jaan le li thi? Jab ke tum mujh se keh kar gaye thay ke tum bhi khush reh lo gay bas baatein sooni ho jaaein gi, tum tab bhi jhootay aur makkaar thay aur ab bhi wohi ho tum. Yaad hai na ke jab hum ko insaan ban'ne ka vardaan mila tha toh humein ye sikhaya gaya tha ke insaano'n ki tarha kabhi chhal, kapat, nafrat, peeth peechhe hamla mat karna, kabhi fareb mat karna, masoomo'n ki jaan mat lena. Jahan mujhe naagino'n mein se sab se pehle insaani vardaan mila aur aadi naagin chuna gaya, tumhe bhi naago'n mein se aadi naag chuna gaya, aray sharam karo. Ek masoom ki jaan lenay ja rahay thay tum. Tum humesha apni kaichali badaltay rahay magar khud ko nahi badla.

H~toh jab mujhe aadi naag aur tumhe aadi naagin chuna gaya toh tum toh meri hui na, us ki kahan se hui? Us cheel ki kaise hui?

N~tumhe jab apna maana tha na, woh meri sab se bari galti thi Hashwrindan. Ab tum suno, Nagakanti na kabhi tumhari thi, na kabhi ho gi. Nagakanti aur Adarsh chaand ke banday, hum humesha ek doosre ke he rahengay, na woh kisi aur ka aur na main kisi aur ki. Aur haan, door raho Adarsh aur meri zindagi se, aainda agar kuchh aisa kiya na, toh main apnay suhaag ko apnay Adarsh ko bachane ke liye kis hadh tak ja sakti hoon na woh hadh tum ne pehle bhi dekhi thi aur ab bhi dekhi hai. Door raho Adarsh se, baksh do us ki jaan ko, warna tumhari jaan nahi bakshi jaaye gi, kaheen aisa na ho ke samay se pehle he sarr pe kaalay baadal chha jaaein aur pachhtaane ka mauka tak na milay. Sudhar jao.

She left from there. Hashwrindan got angry.

H~Adarsh ko maarna hai toh Nagakanti ko kamzor karna ho ga, kiun ke wohi us ka kawach hai. Bohat ghamand hai na Nagakanti ko ke Adarsh sirf us ka aur woh sirf us ki, dono tootein gay. Koi kaali shakti he alag karay gi Adarsh ko Nagakanti se, aur jab Nagakanti ka pyaar Adarsh us se alag ho ga, tabhi us ki zindagi mein main phir aaun ga.

He smirked.
