Bani looked at him with tears in her eyes.

What has gotten into him? How can he talk to me like that.... Veeranshu won't even think about hurting me.... Then whats happening... What is this... Why is all this happening... Bani.... What are you thinking... Its not true... It's just a nightmare.... This can't be true

Her inner voice told her.

"What? What...? Why are you staring at me like this.... Oh wait... Let me guess...so you are trying to gain sympathy.... What do you think.... What do you think... I am not a fool who believe in these crocodile tears..... Don't show it to me  ... Just get lost" Veer said. Meera was about to speak, but bani hold her hand nodding in a no.

"Di.... Kuch toh problem hain.... Veer ke saath kuch hua hain... Warna veeranshu aise kabhi baat nhi karega... Woh mujhe chot pahoonchaane ke bare main soch bhi nahin sakta " Bani told meera, who was leading her to the washroom .

"Bani... Bas karo... Uska side kyu le rahi ho.... Maine suna ki woh jis tarah se baat kiya.... Bani main tumhaari behan hoon, hamesha Maine tumhein kaha hain ki veer acha hain but aaj.... Aaj ye sab dekhne ke baad mujhe nhi lagta ki woh ek acha partener hain tumhaare liye" Meera said cleaning bani's wound.

"Meera di.... Main aapse keh rahi hoon na.... Veer ko hum ache tarah se jaante hain... Aapne kabhi dekha hain use mujhpe haath udaate huye? , chillaathe huye?.... Veeranshu ko zaroor kuch hua hain aur woh kya hain... Mujhe pata karna hi hoga..... Bhut jald kyunki mujhe lagta hain aage chalke problem bhut badega... Di... Chodo mujhe... Mujhe veer se abhi baat karni hogi... Abhi ke Abhi " Bani said and without paying any heed to meera, she went to their room only to find it empty.

She was about to go out of the room when he entered. Before bani could say anything, she heard the sound of thunder. Veer closed the door and went near her.

"Sweetheart... Kya hua? " Veer  asked seeing her worried face.

Bani looked straight into his eyes. This is her veer.... The soft gaze is enough for her to identify him.

"Sweetheart kya hua... Tum aise kyu  dekh rahi ho.... Kya hua... Bolo" Veer said again.

"Veer... Ek minute... Tum theek ho..... Tum mujhse gusse the.... Kya hua bhool gaye? " Bani asked, still confused on what had happened to him.

"Woh.... Woh main guest room main gaya tha aur mujhe pata chala ki tum woh sab mere liye kiya tha. I know I hurt you.... But I swear it was not intentional... You know na I can't hurt you " Veer said with the same passion in his eyes which he always had for her.

"Tum.... Tumhein yaad hain  mehindi main kya hua tha.. Kuch yaad hain? " Bani asked.

"Haan.... Main tumse naaraaz tha, tumne mujhe manaane ki kosish kiya but Maine maana hi nhi and phir sab milke dance kiya... Phir.... Phir.... Mehindi function khathm hogayi" Veer said.

Kya keh raha hain yeh... Ise toh kuch bhi yaad nahin hain... Ab iska kya karoon main... Mujhe jald hi naagmandir jaana hoga.... Par kaise.... Veer mujhe akele jaane nhi dega... Mausam bhi kharaab hain... Par mujhe kuch bhi karke abhi naagmandir jaana hi hoga

"Sweetheart tum phirse zoned out hogayi? " Veer asked snapping his hands in front of her eyes.

"Kuch nahin.....main abhi aayi" Bani was about to go, but veer stopped her holding her hand. He unintentionally touched her wound which made her hiss.

Veer asked her what happened to which she nodded in a no. He looked at her hand and found it bleeding.

"Sweetheart..... Ye kya hain... Ho kya gaya.... Ye kab hogaya.... Ye wound fresh hain matlab abhi abhi hua hain.... Tumne bataya kyu nhi" Veer asked.

"Veeranshu relax..... Dont panic. It will be okay. Wait...i can heal on my own"

"Par bani hua kaise? " Veer asked.

Bani cupped the wound and healed it on her own.

"dekho hogaya.... Main aati hoon... Tum... Tum aaraam karo " Bani said and left from there before he could protest.

******************************

"Kya" Bani asked when pandithaayin told her everything.

"Haan aadinaagin... Ye maarkhaant ka khel hain...."

"Par... Par veeraanshu toh cheelon ka rajkumaar hain... Use kaise koi kuch kar sakta hain.... Matlab use vash main karna itna aasaan thodi na hoga.... Iska matlab maarkhaant ka taaqat bad raha hain. Mujhe use maarna hoga. Ab usne sari hadein paar kardi. Usne apne khud ke bete ko vash main kiya.... Main use nhi chodoongi... " Bani said enraged.

"Haan aadinaagin... Par ek samasya hain.... Kal jab main prarthana kar rahi thi, Maine Kuch dekha.... "

"Kya dekha pandithaayin? " Bani asked.

"Ye ki maarkhaant apne aap ye sab nhi kar rhi hain. Koi uska madad kar raha hain. Aur woh koi aur nahin balki aadinaag hi hain. " Pandithaayin said shocking bani.

"Kya? Kya keh rahi hain aap.... Jay bhi mila hua hain uske saath.... Par woh aisa kyun karega.... Kyun baar baar mere barose ka faayda uda rahe ho tum jay" Bani heaved a sigh. She left from there after taking blessings.

*******************************

"Sweetheart tum kahaan thi... Bataake jaana chahiye tha na. Mausam itna kharaab hain aur tum thi kahaan...tum ghar main nhi thi woh mujhe pata hain isliye jhoot mat bolo " Veer said as soon as bani entered the room. Bani closed the door .

"Main naagmandir gayi thi. " Bani said coldly .

She was betrayed again by the same person.

Kitni badi bhool kardi tune bani? Tumne use ek aur mauka diya... Kyun... Veer tujhse kitni baar kaha ki woh nahin sudhrega par tumne uska side liya aur dekho kya hain nateeja......

Her inner voice told her. It was too much for her to handle.

Suddenly scales started appearing on her skin. Veer looked at her wondering what made her angry.

"Sweetheart... Kya hua.... Bolo kya hua... Baat kya hain... Tum itni gusse main kyu ho.. Mujhe pata hain ki tum jab gusse main hoti ho tab hi scales aata h. Ab kya hua bani? " Veer asked.

Bani closed her eyes for a moment. She should tell him about all this happenings now only Or else it can get worse.

"Veer jo main keh rhi hoon woh dhyaan se suno" Bani said.

******************************

"Veeranshu kuch toh bolo.... " Bani said. She told him about everything because she wanted him to know what's going on. She knew he can handle it. Even if he can't handle it, she would help him.

"Bani.... Maine tumhein hurt kiya? Ye ghaanv maine tumhein diya? " Veer asked cupping her face.

"Veer point ye nahin hain.... Main theek hoon... Mujhe tumhaari maa ko maarna hoga. Woh na hi sudhregi aur na hi kisiko chain se jeene degi.... Tum bas mujhse ye waada karo ki tum is kamre se bahar nhi nikloge. Maarkhaant  sooraj aur chaand ki roshni ke sahare tumhein apne vash main kar rhi hain. Agar tumhaari oopar roshni nhi padegi toh tumhein woh vash main nhi karpaayegi. "

"Nahin bani.... Woh dangerous hain... Main tumhein akele jaane nhi doonga..... Chaahe kuch bhi ho jaaye bani main tumhein akele jaane nhi  doonga" Veer said. A mother who can do this much to her own son, can do worse things to bani. He didn't want her to suffer.

"Veeranshu baat ko samjo.... Main akeli kaafi hoon agar tum mere saath aaoge toh tumhein woh batkaayegi tumhein mere khilaaf kardegi.... Tum....agar tum mujhpe waar karoge toh main shaayad.... Shaayad kuch kar nhi paoongi. Maarkhaant jeet jayegi"

"Nhi bani... Sweetheart please " Veer said, almost pleaded.

" Veer tumhein meri kasam " Bani said angrily. As she know it's the only way.

"Bani aise mat karo.... " Veer said in a low tone. He knew his wife, how adamant she can be.

"Main tumse wada karti hoon veer, main apna khayaal rakhoongi. Mujhe kuch nhi hoga... Mujhe ek karoch  bhi nhi aayega. Main apni shaktiyon se ye kamre par ek rakshakawach banane wali hoon. Tumhaare koi bhi jaadoo se ye nhi khulega isliye kosish bhi mat karna " Bani said before leaving.

Veer pulled her towards him and hugged her tightly.

" Ghar wali..... Jaldi aana.... " He said inhaling her scent. He badly wanted to divert his mind.

"Ye lo... " Veer said handing over the gandhak paththar.  Bani looked at him confused.

"Par "

"Par var kuch nhi gharwali... Main jaanta hoon mere alawa sirf tum hi ise control kar sakti ho agar tumhein kuch ho gaya toh ye paththar tumhein bachaayega " Veer said.

"Waise tumhein pata haina, mere paas naagmani hain. "

"Haan jaanta hoon..... Tum mere liye rakshakawach bana rhi ho toh mujhe b tumhaare raksha keliye kuch karna chahiye na. Ye lo sweetheart and jeetke hi aana. " Veer said with a smile.

***************************

"Aagayi bahurani..... Kaisa laga mera khel? Maza aaya? " Chandrakala asked with a quirky laugh.

"Wah chandrakala wah.... Kamaal hain.. Khud ke aulat ko bhi nhi choda... Main ye soch rhi hoon ki maine tumhein bachaya hi kyun.... Toh isliye daddyji mujhe kehte rahe ki veer keliye tum khatra saabit hogi.... Waise saasuma khel toh bahut acha tha par ab tumhaara khel khathm "

"Mera khel khathm..... Hahaha.... Aadinaagin tum soch bhi nhi sakti ki main kya kar sakti hoon.... "

"Bilkul... Bilkul soch sakti hoon ki tum kya kar sakti ho.... Tum toh maa ke naam par kalank ho  .. Tum kitne neeche girogi pata hain mujhe... Aur tumhaari jaankaari keliye bata doon ki tum veeranshu ke saath kuch bhi nhi kar sakte.... Samji.... Haaan.... Aise ghooro mat.... Tum bhi jaanti ho ki main kya kya kar sakti hoon..... Mere shaktiyon ka amdaza hain tujhe isliye toh tum mere peeche padi ho.... Taaki tum mujhe maarke meri shaktiyaan haazil kar paoon"

"Aur bhut jald main tumhein maaroongi naagin.... Tum mere bete se pyaar karti ho na ab woh khud tumhein maar dega..... " Chandrakala laughed again.

"Really maarkhaant? Tum sach main pagla gayi ho kya.... Maine kya kaha ab? Tum veer ka kuch nhi bigaad sakti...... Aadinaagin hoon main.... Sarvshreshth aadinaagin. Shesh naag vansh ke sarvshreshth aadinaagin hoon main jinke shaktiyon ka koi andaza bhi nhi laga sakta.... Tumne abhi tak mere shaktiyaan jaana kaha hain? Moorgh ho tum.... Maine tumhein na maarke bhut badi galti kardi... Par koi nahin... Ab.... Isi pal main tumhein maar doongi main.... Tumhein aisa maut doongi jise dekhkar Sare kali shaktiyaan dar jayenge..... Tumhaari cheek Aasmaan tak pahoonchega.... Mere bolenaath tak..... Tumhaari ghamant, tumhaari laalach, sab.... Ye sabki wajah se tum aaj marogi...... Tumne ek naagin ko chunauti diya hain.... Hum kabhi haar nahin maante.... Jaan jaaye par haar na maanenge.... Aur mere bolenaath ne mujhpe vishwaas karke ye kaam mujhe diya hain..... Tumhein mitaane ka kaam, woh main bhut ache se karoongi.... Bhut ache se.... " Bani said. Maarkhaant tried to come out of the strong force that emitted from the trishool. Bani touched the trishool, invoking the powers inside her she freed Chandrakala.

"Mujhe bahar nikaal kar galti kardi aadinaagin" Maarkhaant laughed.

"Main tumhaari tarah nhi hoon... Tum aise latki rahogi toh tumnein bhut hi aasaan maut milega jo main nhi chahti. Tumhein main tadpa tadpaake maaroongi.. Aaraaam se.... Dardnaak maut doongi..... " Bani said.

The next moment, maarkhant took her naagcheel form and moved towards bani. Bani nudged her attack and threw her down. They both faught and faught, none back out.... Both faught with equal strength.

Maarkhaant was bleeding at places, bani was also bleeding but her powers were healing her wounds on time. Bani, threw maarkhaant and evoked her powers.

Maarkhaant stood on her legs and turned towards bani. She stumbled back. There stood Aadinaagin in all her glory. Four blue hoods behind her. Her eyes emitting rage, maarkhaant felt the intensity of her gaze. Bani took her half naagin form and brought maarkhaant closer.

"Good bye saasuma...." Bani said before biting her. As soon as the poison entered inside maarkhaant, she started burning.

Bani threw maarkhaant down and asked few of her naags to do the cremation.

****************************

Veer was pacing around the room in tension. He wanted to go to his wife. He wanted to protect her. He wanted to see whether she is fine or not....

"Sweetheart.... Ye tumne kya kiya.... Mujhe bhi saath lekar chalta toh acha hota na " Veer said looking at her photo frame.

"Meri photo se baat kar rahe ho? " As soon as veer heard the sound, he turned to find bani standing there with a smile.

Veer engulfed her in a tight hug.

"Main theek hoon veer.... I am okay. Waise tumne bhut bura kiya haan.... Maine tumhein warn kiya tha ki yahan se bahar jaane ki kosish mat karo... Par tumne kiya...."

"Toh kya karta.... Main bhi cheelon ke rajkumaar hoon.... Mujhe bhi action scenes karne ka man hoga na... Samajti nhi ho... "

"Acha.... Haan acha... Ab mujhe yaad aaya ek baat" Bani said in a serious tone.

"What's it sweetheart? " Veer asked.

Bani looked at him for a while before taking him into a bone crushing hug.

"Kya hua sweetheart.... Kuch problem hain kya? "

"Mujhe maaf kardo veer.... Maine tumhaari baat nhi maani.... Tumhaare saath jo kuch bhi hua uske zimmedaar sirf tumhaari maa nhi h, woh dhokebaaz Jay bhi maarkhaant ke saath tha. " Bani said. Veer laughed out.

"Finally..... Finally.... Finally tumhein ye baat samaj aagaya.... You know what kabhi kabhi mujhe lagta tha ki tumhare paas dimmag hi nhi hain.... Uspar firse vishwaas kiya tha na tumne ab dekho " Veer said.

"Haan veer... Andhi hogayi thi main... Mujhe laga woh sudhar jayega par nhi..... Nhi sudhra.... Ab use saza dene ka waqt aagaya hain" Bani said enraged.

"Bani..... Dekho.... Maarkhaant ko tumne maara so dhabewale ko main maaroonga... Then it will be 1-1. If not it will be 2-0 jo main nhi chahta.... Main hi us dhabewale ka kaam khathm karoonga " Veer said excited.

Finally he can get rid off the dhabewala.

"Theek hain patidev.... Jaise aap chaho... So shall we go? " Bani asked.

"Why not? "
