LOVE STORY OF AN INDIAN WARRIOR

” ASHOKA-KAURWAKI”

“It has been ten days since ashoka had left for takshila …i am worried about him ” – said Bindusar while he was at the lunch with his beloved wife Queen Dharma…

“Ashoka is our son….” continued. Dharmawith a very proud feel in his heart .”He is Aacharya(teacher)  Chankya’s student….and also the Warrior of Magadh. I am quite sure about him  ......he was born. .......deafeating death you don’ t have to worry”

“Yes..you are right….” -Bindusar with a bit of relief on his face..” i must not worry..so much….but he is only 15 years old….how could i forget that …a 15 year old child is going to takhshila that too secretly to find out and defeat AAKROSH ..a 40 years old person who is much stronger than him…much sharper , much cruel than him…..whose terror had been reported so badly by the takshila people…how could i forget ..that Dharma” .

Dharma hold his hand and said_-“Yes…i know Ashoka is only 15 but he has the strength and power of a 40 years old person….he has great potential…and you must not doubt that”….

With this statement of Dharma Finnally Bindhusaar was relaxed and convinced. ..He then. Comments with a taunty expression. .”if He is 40 …then why don’t you do his marriage. ?”…

.”I don’t know weather a women other that me can handle a person like him…….i just hope that god had made someone for him….”- Lauged Dharma

And the conversation ended with both laughing badly like anything.

 

On the other hand Ashoka had reached takshilla and was roaming around the market …He was standing at the sweet shop. Whose Laddoo’s smell attracted him baldy. And then his eyes fall on the snall mirror kept. On the desk of jewellers shop which was beside sweet shop. The mirror reflected two beautiful eyes fascinated with kajal…on the up was a beautiful head bearing a maaangteeka (an indian jwellary ) who had no values infront of the glittering eyes..Ashoka was staring at the mirror continuously without bothering about anything…he was trying his level best but was failed to took his eyes from the mirror… Who knewed that these two eyes will change the life of the young warrior.....

 

Ashoka was slowly moving towards the mirror..when.someone pushed him badly and he had a great fall on the ground. Ashoka gained his balance and stand up to find what’ s happening around him. He immediately looked in the mirror to find his breathtaking eyes..but they were gone…his wow moment had ended!….He looked around to find her and suddenly he saw her!….He saw her from back….he haven’t seen her yet..but could feel her presence, something was there between them that he could feel…he could feel her!!….He move forward to follow him but suddenly..heared some unpleasant voices ..there was something going on that does’nt seems to be good . So now he has to make choice. he has to choose between his duty and her.

 

And he made choice…he choose his duty! He choose his natiin …his Magadh which was most important than anything …important. Than his life …..than her! And he moved in the opposite to see what’s the prwered with a great sadness in his voice- ” This woman is the mother of that deadbody ..his name was Arjun  he had dared to reach the Magadh by crossing the Dark Forest and the result is infront of you ……” ” But what is there in that forest? ” Asked Ashoka with deep query ” That forest is the home of AAKROSH ! That means the home of death! . Don’t you know this?”

Ashoka was totally shocked .

 “He asked the man. “AAKROSH live in the forest.?”  “Who are you?” the man asked

  “I…uhh…my name is Anant but why did you asked that.?” -Ashoka asked with a lot of hesitation. “I mean ..you aren’t from here …right?”

“Yes!..you are right”.-ASHOKA

“That is why you are asking this question so openly…if you would have been from here and have seen his cruel  deeds you wouldn’t have even speak his name. …not even a single child is allowed by the parents to talk about him…..it is a very daring event! He us not a human but a beast ”    

“Can you tell me more about him ..where does he exactly  live in the forest…..I need to reach him!”

“Are you out of your mind ….child ?….Don’t you want to live?…..” -Asked the Man

“You just tell me about it!”-said Ashoka with confidence

“Ok if you want to die then it’s ok…i don’t know much but …it is said that he lives in the middle of the dark forest…no one is allowed to enter the forest …whosoever had ever dared ..the result is infront of you …it is the only reason that everyone takes the seaway to reach magadh ….”..-Answered the man

“Ok ..thankyou” – and ASHOKA moved away . Now Ashoka was clear in his motive. ..he now knewed what to do for his aim to get fullfilled . 

  He immediately took some essentials items for his way and moved towards the forest .

 

Ashoka entered the dark forest . It was as exactly something near to hell ….the Dense trees ….no reach of sunlight at the surface…. for large areas…Everything seems to be dead no joy, only the voices of strange birds and. … Insects… Everything was like just perfect to have goosebumps.  Ashoka walked inside. It was midday when he entered the forest now the sun had set down  and the forest seems to be worse than worst.  Ashoka had walked for miles but there were no signs of a single man. Finnally, walking continuesly for several hours …ASHOKA was less happy but moreshoked to find a hut in the middle of the forest. He decided to go and findout weather it belongs to AAKROSH. He took out his sword and moved towards the door . He knocked …ready with his sword he was waiting for someone to come out .

  And the door opened. ..Infront of Ashoka was someone who was never expected there in the middle of the forest. 

An old lady nearly, about 60 years was standing infront of him. Ashoka immediately put his sword down.

“Yes?”-Asked the old lady in a very shrinking voice.

” hello mother .. I am a traveller, was just passing by..”-Ashoka

“Come..inside..”-the lady stopped him in between and then moves indie ..Ashoka followed him.
