Episode on Friday, August 15, 2008

Chand, Pundir, Prithvi, and Arjun race on to reach the site where they kept the weaponry and treasure before the enemy reaches there. They head into the forest Prithvi shouts, run quickly come on fast! Prithvi is in the lead. We have to reach to the site where the treasure is fast.

Meanwhile Roshan Ali has already attacked and killed the guards in the vicinity of the treasure, he slits the throat of another guard. Another guard attacks with sword but Roshan Ali kills him too and throws him into the air.

The 4 make their way nonstop, they keep on running into the dense forest.

Roshan Ali has come to a ruin where the goods are kept, the guards see him come there and ask who are you?
Roshan Ali doesn't reply and strikes their faces both at the same time and they both fall down. R Ali enters the ruins he looks around to see where the entry is to go inside, the treasure must be around here some where he thinks. I have looked everywhere cannot figure out where the entry is to get to the goods. The place looks like an old abandoned temple with a Shiva idol.
Outside Prithvi and gang have reached the very same ruin. They look around to see if anybody is there. They can see, no guard is present, they see them lying dead on the ground. Pundir exclaims, Oh God, what is this?
R Ali Looks around the room of the abandoned ruin.
Who has killed them? asks Pundir.
Arjun says, he has reached here! He looks around some more. Quickly let’s go and see if he has found our weaponry. Let’s go! The 3 buddies run inside. Prithvi tells Pundir to come back, stop! Prithvi doesn't follow them. He tells them to stop they don't listen.
The 3 are inside the ruin, Arjun removes the staph that accompanies the Shiva idol kept there. When the staph is removed it enables a trap door to open. The trap door is opened. They all look down the dark hole. Prithvi also enters insidethe ruin too.
R Ali is still there, he has disguised himself as a statue inside and watches the 4 of them. R Ali has found the entry to get the treasure.
Prithvi looks inside and goes down the hole then Arjun follows suit, the other two also go inside.
R Ali says I got the weapons!
Prithvi and gang enter the cave where all the weapons are kept, everything looks as is, kept properly as before. Arjun points in the corner and sees, there it is the chest full of weapons.
Pundir is doubtful, is our weapons still inside there? Maybe somebody has emptied the chest, we must check if the contents are still there, maybe they took it. Come check and see. All four walk down the steps to get to the chests inside the huge cave. They walk inside Prithvi passes some huge pillars that support the room. Arjun and Chand open the chests and see inside, they all look around.
Prithvi says looks like even after reaching here, they were not able to find the entry inside to get down here.
Arjun says its good we reached here on time. The enemy cannot do any harm on us!
Who is my enemy? Prithvi doesn't know. The weapons are not safe here either. They all look around. The enemy will definitely try and make attempts to get in here.
Roshan Ali has already come inside he has lime (chuna) on his body to match the colour of the walls. Lime is smeared on the walls.
So what will we do? Arjun asks Prithvi.
Prithvi tells we have to change the place where we keep our goods. I am sure when we try to move the goods from here the enemy will definitely attack. Prithvi has a plan, we will take the goods in two separate caravans. One caravan will contain fake weaponry and the other will have the real goods. Chand and Arjun will accompany Pundir and arrange to take the fake weaponry in the direction of the palace under full protection.
Pundir says yes!
R Ali is listening to them he knows their plans now.
Prithvi continues, as soon as the enemy watches us take the fake weapons in the caravan he will follow it. I will take the caravan with real weapons from here.
R Ali comes out of the crevice of the cave, you can think as much as you want Maharaj Prithviraj Chauhan, but it will be impossible for you too overtake R Ali.

In Kannauj, mother talks to the servant Naina. All preparations for the swayamwar are in full swing. What is this all, I had told you to supervise the decoration part, look what they have done. See what they did, the whole palace must be decorated in a fashion that nobody else has. Now go and decorate the palace, do it fast. Mother calls the other servant Sumera, listen you go and check if Sanyogita's silk threads are ready and have been dyed or not with the red colour. Make an understanding, this is Maharaj Jaichand's daughter's wedding. Remember not to compromise anything for this, otherwise you will be sorry.
Jaichand has entered the palace with Sanyo they have returned back.
Mother tells Sumera to go and see it fast. Mother walks ahead and calls another servant to listen, we had ordered some special stones/gems for the shoes for my daughter Sanyogita, where are they?
The servant tells they are not ready yet, it will take more time, to be made.
Jaichand and Sanyo come into the palace hallway. Sanyogita has come barefooted and in white garments.
Mother says okay to the servant and walks to another one holding a basket of jewelry, she asks what is this? She takes the ornaments in her hand. She looks at them, these are the jewelry? No, no these jewelry are not having a good design at all she throws them back into the basket. For my daughter Rajkumari Sanyogita I need the ornaments to be so beautiful that when she wears it, it should look like she is wearing the moon. There should be an anklet, necklace, golden bindi. My child's ornaments should be made like nobody has ever seen before. Jaggu you must make the ornaments so that when she wears it, she should look like a fairy coming from the sky.
Jaichand and Sanyo enter the pavilion, they see Maharani. Maharani’s smile turns into a frown after seeing the white garments on Sanyo. She walks up to her and calls Sanyo, what is all this? Sanyo ignores and moves aside.
Jaichand tells, listen, to the guard nearby.
The guard comes walking up to Maharaj.
Go to Rajkumari's room to guard it 24 hours/day and night. Make sure that there is continuous vigilance in the area near her room where......
Sanyo interrupt’s, don't worry Maharaj, your arrow has hit the target exactly, Prithvi has promised his mother that he will never meet me again tells Sanyogita to her father. You must be happy to hear this Maharaj? Listen more to good news, your daughter too has taken oath not to marry anybody and till my last breath will take only Prithvi's name.

Outside the ruins where the weapons are hidden the troops start to load the caravan with weapons. Prithvi asks the man did you load all the weapons on the cart.
Yes Maharaj.
Prithvi walks up to his 3 buddies, if some body is watching us now he should understand that these weapons are the real ones loaded, before going I just wanted you all to understand that the enemy’s attention will be on you people. They can attack anytime, be prepared. Go directly to the palace, go tells Prithvi, he put his hands on Pundir's shoulders to give them support.
His three buddies get on their horses and take the caravan away to Dhilli.
Roshan Ali is in the vicinity listening to everything and hides in the ground only revealing his upper head portion.
Meanwhile Prithvi goes to load the cart, he carries large amounts of straw and lays it on the ground. He and his guards stuff straw into bags with fake weapons as per plan, they are wearing civilian clothes as well. Prithvi checks the bags of straw.
Roshan Ali remains and hides in the ground and watches the people work.
Everything is packed and they are ready to go, they say let's go.
People lift the packages and leave. Prithvi takes his sword and leaves the site also.
Roshan Ali sees the coast is clear and comes out of the ground. He gets up, by hiding from Roshan Ali, nobody can go anywhere Maharaj, hiding is my job only.

Sanyo looks out of the window from her room at the moon. She remembers when she asked Prithvi what will you do when you remember me?
Roopali comes into the room and says, I know what you are thinking about. Anyways you have come from a long journey and need to rest, just have something to eat. See Ranima has sent you food with love, the servant holds the tray. Your favorite food and sweets are being served princess.
No, I will not eat all that anymore, along with Prithvi I have also sacrificed all luxuries, now I don't want anything from this world. Enough I have only one prayer to God, that if not this life, then at least next life I should join with Prithvi, so that even after 1000 years later if the world takes my name it will be associated with Prithvi.

The parcels are carried by his men on foot into the forest, Prithvi follows them behind and keeps vigilance around for a suspected attack.
Pundir, Chand, and Arjun lead the other team with the cart of fake weapons to the village they have reached the vicinity of Dhilli. Pundir questions why haven't we been attacked so far by the enemy?
Arjun responds over all whom are we waiting for?
Chand says they must have gotten scared.
Pundir says no, don't underestimated them, they had already killed all our guards who were guarding the site where the weapons were kept. They are very clever, he will definitely come and we will have to be very careful at all times.

R Ali follows behind, the real parcels of weapons are carried ahead by a group of men disguised as civilians in the local dress, Prithvi is with them, he keeps an eye out for anything suspicious.
R Ali has a pot full of flammable liquid like kerosene, he lights a torch and sets a branch of a tree on fire. The fire spreads to the ground. R Ali takes the branch and sets a ring of flammable liquid around the men on fire too that was previously poured by him. The group is surrounded by flames and smoke blows everywhere. Prithvi cannot see in front of him.
R Ali flings 3 knives in the air, he has killed 3 people so far. 5 more knives are aimed and more troopers are down but miss Prithvi. Prithvi can barely see his men to protect them, they fall dead. He saves himself in the smoke screen. Prithvi moves around then ducks down he comes and jumps out of the ring of fire to save himself.
R Ali suddenly cartwheels himself right in front of Prithvi. Prithvi is caught off guard, but takes out his sword and gets ready to fight back. R Ali also has his sword ready and they both attack with swords, the lances clang each other. R Ali aims at Prithvi's leg but Prithvi moves them and he misses. Again R Ali tries at Prithvi's chest but Prithvi bends backward. Prithvi then swirls around and tries to get his legs too. R Ali lifts them up in time. Both push each other backward but Prithvi finally knocks R Ali and he falls down backward. Again swords clash, R Ali pushes Prithvi behind, and aims at Prithvi's head but misses. Prithvi swivels around in circular motion, his force of the sword aimed at R Ali, but misses too. Both are attacking each other with swords they are so close, finally Prithvi takes his sword and cuts R Ali's thigh, blood drips from his wound. Prithvi sees that, but he stays on guard.
R Ali drops his sword on the ground, but bends his fingers. Prithvi then tries to cut him with the sword but R Ali is fast and grabs his wrist to stop him. Prithvi loses his sword and also grabs R Ali's other fist, its close to his face. Prithvi then pushes him hard and R Ali falls down and rolls away.
R Ali gets up and faces Prithvi, he says to him, all together in this place your weapons are destroyed Prithviraj Chauhan!
Prithvi looks around and sees his packages are scattered on the ground burning with flames.
R Ali shouts, but I am very sorry that it will be you burning next time, by the hands of Sultan!
Prithvi looks around, no! It will not happen, never! Prithvi runs into the fire in attempt to save the weapons but turns away, and sees the person gone. Prithvi shouts ARghhhhhhhhhh! Nobody is there.

At the palace Chand, Pundir and Arjun wait with the ministers in the pavilion.
What is it? Prithvi still has not returned, Arjun is worried.
Pundir tells them all, he will come any minute now.
Pundir is correct, Prithvi has already made his journey back and enters the palace, he meets the group.
Arjun and Chand don’t like the condition that Prithvi is in. Arjun asks him what happened to you Prithvi, he points at his clothes? Who did all this to you?
Chand says, we thought they would attack us.
Prithvi was silent but now he says he was very clever, he knew each and every move, he even knew that the real weapons were not with you people but with me.
Arjun cannot bear the truth.
Pundir is shocked, he says what! That means all our weapons.... He looks at Prithvi.
Prithvi doesn't know what to do and sits down on the cushion. ....It means all our weapons have been destroyed Pundir, Prithvi regrets, I tried my best to stop him but he also got injured like me and ran away.
Chand asks, did you at least see his face?
No!
Chand, Pundir and Arjun are annoyed, he didn't even see his face.
His face was covered, tells Prithvi.
Arjun is upset, this must be the work of somebody in our palace!
Chand questions, who could it be?
It’s M Ghori's special spy answers Prithvi.


Ghori is bathing in his open bath when T Khan comes to give him the news. WA! What a grand piece of news you have told me, Says Ghori to T Kahn.
T Khan bows, as Ghori is pleased with him.
Ghori looks into the air and says, my tiger has done the unexpected. Roshan Ali, he laughs, you have destroyed all of Dhilli's weapons and hurt Prithvi so bad, that Dhilli has become devastated. Dhilli is destroyed! Ghori takes his drink and says Prithviraj Chauhan if you are capable of saving Dhilli now, then save it, he keeps the glass back and drops himself into the water and laughs.
