Some days passed, Nagakanti and Adarsh were getting more and more smitten and attracted towards each other, slowly they were falling in love, until one day, Nagakanti was walking in the garden randomly when a hand held her and pulled her back and she collided into that person's rock hard chest. She looked up to see Adarsh.

N: Adarsh tum, yahan kya kar rahay ho? Koi dekh le ga

He placed his finger on her lips, she looked at him deeply.

A: shhh, jisay dekhna hai dekhne do, (he removed his finger and twirled her pulling her close, her back collided into him as he hugged her from behind sending shivers down her spine) main yahan apni husn pari se milne aya hoon, husn pari urf chandan ki kaaya jab khud yahi chahti hai toh usay bhala koi rok sakta hai kya?

She chuckled.

N: bilkul nahi, Adarsh ko apni husn pari se milne ke liye kisi ki aghya ki avashikta nahi, siwaye khud husn pari ke

He smiled widely.

A: aray wah, kaafi jaldi kharboozay ko dekh kar kharbooza rang pakarne laga, husn pari urf aadi naagin ke siwa toh pooray bhramaand mein Adarsh ki rani ban'ne layak koi nahi

N: achha jee? (she turned to him and cupped his face) toh theek hai, is pooray bhramaand mein aadi naagin ka raja Adarsh ke siwa koi ban'ne ke layak nahi

He smiled and closed his eyes drawing his face closer to hers and nuzzled in the side of her face, she also closed her eyes.

A: haan toh aadi naagin, baaki dunia chhor do na mere liye? Chhor do na ye naag vansh? De do na ek baar mujhe aghya, tumhe urra le jaaun ga, aasman ki sair karaun ga, aur girne ka koi sawal nahi Nagakanti, kass ke pakroon ga, bas meri aankhon mein dekhna toh sab bhool jao gi

She smiled and hugged him hiding her face in the crook of his neck.

N: pehle baba ki aghya ho gi Adarsh, jabhi Nagakanti tumhari, phir tumhe mujhe jahan urra le jaana ho na, tum le jaana

A: haan waise baba ki aghya ki zaroorat toh mujhe bhi hai

He said hugging her back, she laughed.

N: tum bhi na Aakesh, baavlay

He too laughed.

A: Nagakanti, yaar koi aa raha hai, shayad wohi namoona Hashwrindan hai

Nagakanti chuckled.

N: woh namoona toh kya, humaray beech koi nahi Adarsh, koiii nahi, bas tum aur main, aur humari chhoti si dunia mere pyaare raja

A: isi adaa pe main fida hua Nagakanti, meri jaan

They broke the hug and smiled deeply at each other.

Days passed, they kept meeting but Nagakanti had no courage to tell about this matter to her father. Until one day, she lost all her courage after hearing about one news that shattered her. One of the clan members came rushing there.

"Khabar aai hai ke cheel vansh ki nazar humari naag mani par hai."

Nagakanti held her head feeling dizzy as she recalled something similar.

"Khabar mili hai ke cheelo'n ki nazar humari nau naag maniyo'n par hai."

The words rang in her ears.

Nagakanti thought: ye kya hai? Ye sab pehle hua hai kya?

Hashwrindan came to Nagakanti.

H: dekh lo Nagakanti, woh cheelo'n k rajkumar ka kya maksad tha na dekh lo khud, bara bacha rahi thi na us ko? Us ne tumhari he peeth mein khanjar ghop diya. Aadi nagin hotay huay tum ek cheel ko bachati rahi na, lo dekh lo ab us ki nazar kahan hai. Tum par nahi hai, naagmani par hai jo ke naag vansh ko pavitra hai.

He said and went. His words shattered her even more. She left and hid at the same place she used to meet Adarsh and saw him already there. She eyed him angrily as he approached her.

N: bas Adarsh, bas! Ab agar ek kadam meri taraf barhaya toh main tumhe bilkul nahi chhorun gi

A: main chhorne doon ga bhi nahi tumhe khud ko

N: bas! (she transformed into a naagin and hit him with her tail, he fell down, but she herself felt pity for him and didn't feel like injuring him) kiun Adarsh? Aisay kaisay mere jazbaato'n ke saath khel saktay ho tum? (he lifted his head to look at her, she wrapped her tail around him and made him stand emotionally) kiun kiya tum ne aisa Adarsh kiun? Kiun nahi bataya ke ye sab tum sirf isliye kar rahay ho kiun ke tumhari nazrein naagmani par hai, jo ke naag vansh ko sab se pavitra hai?

A: meri jaan, (she glared at him) achha suno toh, dekho tumhare naag vansh or mere cheel vansh ke beech ek jang ho jaaye? (she closed her eyes tightly) Aray poori baat toh sun lo, shaant Nagakanti. Jang ki bas ek shart hai, jang bas aadi naag aur mere beech ho gi

N: par kiun? Aadi naag kiun? Aadi naagin kiun nahi? Main kiun nahi Adarsh? Main kiun nahi? Jang mere or tumhare beech kiun nahi?

A: kiun ke main tumhe chahta hoon, bohat ziada chahta hoon, beyhadh chahta hoon. Tumhe ek kharoch tak pohnchana nahi chahta, tum mujh se kiun larna chahti ho? Haan?

N: Adarsh, sirf mere or tumhare beech ho gi ye jang, kiun ke tum ne mere jazbaato'n ke saath khilwaad kiya hai toh keemat tumhe jang larr ke chukaani ho gi

A: Nagakanti, tum khud samajh jao gi ke tumhare jazbaato'n ke saath koi khilwaad nahi hua. Meri har ek baat sach thi. Haan lekin mujhe khud ko ye jang larr ke saabit karna paray ke main galat nahi hoon, toh main karoon ga.

N: theek hai, lekin ek shart par. Agar tumhara khoon baha, toh humari naagmani se aur mujh se, dono se apna munh morr lena.

She said painfully. He saw the pain in her eyes and came close to her and held her face.

A: theek hai Nagakanti, Adarsh apnay lahoo ka ek ek katra baha de ga, khud swaha ho jaye ga, lekin Nagakanti ke har ek zakhm ko bhi apnay shareer par le le ga

She sighed.

N: tum ne meri poori baat nahi suni Adarsh. Tumhara khoon baha toh kya ho ga ye toh jaan liya, lekin haan, agar mera khoon baha, toh naag mani toh nahi, lekin main zaroor tumhari ho jaun gi, tumhare saath rahoon gi, tum se bandhan mein bandh jaun gi

A: ye kaisi shart hai Nagakanti? Nahi, adla badli kar lo, chhor do ye gussa. Dekho, agar mera khoon baha na, toh he tum meri, warna agar tumhara khoon baha, toh main naagmani se munh morr loon ga

N: nahi Adarsh, jo maine keh diya so keh diya. Haan dil is baat se toota zaroor ke tumhe naagmani chahiye ye baat mujhe Hashwrindan se pata chali tum se nahi. Suna tha tareefo'n ke pul ke neeche matlab ki nadiyaan behti hain, ab tak sirf suna tha, aaj dekh bhi liya. Meri tareefo'n ke pul baandh kar tum mujhe nahi naagmani ko haasil karna chahtay thay.

A: theek hai Nagakanti, koi jang nahi ho gi, bas tum meri ho jao

N: bas Adarsh! Jang toh ho gi, dekhte hain kis ka khoon behta hai aur kaun haar maanta hai

A: manzoor hai, mujhe sab manzoor hai

Nagakanti left from there, he flew off.
