Episode on Sunday, November 2, 2008

Both, Jaichand and his army, plus Prithvi and Pundir on another path are about to cross at the same junction.
Pundir requests Prithvi, let’s go this way I am sure there is a small road that will take us to the jungle. They both take a diversion and disappear. Pundir has just saved them from a confrontation of Jaichand.
Jaichand and army reach the junction, he raises his sword for all to halt. Jaichand scans the area to see if anybody is around or any clues of somebody, he sees nobody, and continues on the same path ahead.
Arjun still lays unconscious, he is alive and still breathing, he moves his body and tries to raise his head. Now Arjun has gained full consciousness and tries to get up, but falls down again. Arjun tries to get up again but instead he hears footsteps approaching, looks like Jaichand’s army have come back again. If something happens to me, who will inform Prithvi about Sanyo, I must somehow reach Prithvi. Arjun reaches out for his sword and tries his best to get up. He is unable to, he is severely injured so he crawls away to safety. Arjun uses the force of his arms to drag his body a long distance till he comes to a tree, where he can hide, the footsteps are heard again. He is exhausted and struggles to sit upright with the support of the trunk of the tree.
The footsteps were from none other than Prithvi and Pundir they are looking for them only.
Arjun is hiding from his buddies only and doesn’t realize it.
Prithvi and Pundir look around in the forest, still they have found no one. Prithvi has a terrified look on his face. Both of them are so close to Arjun but cannot see him behind the tree. They both leave the area to search for them elsewhere.
They are gone, Arjun gasps in relief, he thinks somehow this problem has itself become resolved, but now I must try to find Prithvi anyhow, so that I can inform him about Chand and Sanyo.
At the cave Sanyo impatiently paces back and forth.
Chand is trying to light a fire with some wood he found inside the cave, he notices her behavior and tells her to sit down peacefully, you will not be able to achieve anything by being so disturbed like that.
Sanyo replies why don’t we go out and find the rest? How long will we sit like this and wait for them!
Till they find us, answers Chand.
And what if they are not able to find us then?
You just don’t worry about it, Arjun is familiar with the path that leads to this cave. He will definitely bring Prithvi here.

Jaichand and army have come right next to the cave. Jaichand walks just next to it but doesn’t notice the entrance.
The commander walks next to Jaichand and informs that they have scanned the entire area Maharaj, but unable to find the whereabouts of them both.
Search for them properly! Even if they hide in hell we will find them out from there too. Go and search! Jaichand looks near the cave but doesn’t suspect anything.
The commander follows orders and goes to do the job, all the troops search each and every spot carefully. After some careful searching, the commander stumbles upon a jewelry item. He bends down to pick it up. He quickly returns to Jaichand to show his find, see this Maharaj.
Jaichand grabs it from his hand and inspects the ornament. He identifies it, this is a part of Sanyo’s anklet. This all means they are here nearby search for them!
If they are here, then there is only one way to find them. One of our men, who has the capability to mimic anybody’s voice. Do you understand what I am saying Maharaj?
You mean by using Prithvi’s voice, we will catch Sanyo from where she is hiding. Jaichand is pleased and nods his head in favor of the idea.
Correct Maharaj.
Okay then go and bring that trooper!
Yes Maharaj, the Commander goes to get him.

Prithvi and Pundir’s efforts go futile, they have been searching for so long. Where have they all gone? Prithvi asks his buddy. Prithvi looks down on the ground and sees something. He bends down to see properly, and rubs his hands on some blood on the ground, see this Pundir.
The blood has not even dried yet, this means that somebody is severely injured somewhere nearby, a person.
Arjun tries to conceal himself behind a bush he can see two people but doesn’t recognize them.
Pundir says see that, somebody has crawled in the dirt there are fresh marks on the soil. Prithvi sees it, come on Pundir says, they follow the marks of a trail to see where it leads to. They both rush behind some trees.
Arjun sees them and attacks them from behind. He limps and raises his sword in the air, arghhh!
Prithvi and Pundir react and turn around very quickly. They both pin Arjun’s sword in the air. Arjun is weak he is about to fall down. They both recognize him, Prithvi catches him before he falls down to the ground. Arjun what has happened to you? Who has done this all to you? Prithvi is concerned. Arjun lays on their lap his head on Prithvi’s arm.
Arjun tries to mumble something, his fingers are pointed up to show a direction, he says ummm… ….Mowrani…Sanyogita, with Chand are in the “trigud” cave.
Prithvi says Arjun, he puts his hand on his cheek. Arjun has closed his eyes, Arjun? Arjun? You are okay?
I came to inform you this news, if I die have no regrets.
Prithvi doesn’t like that kind of talk and quickly covers Arjun’s mouth with his hands, nothing will happen to you.
Arjun tries to laugh see I told you, I had told that the prophecy was regarding my death and came true. Arjun doesn’t know what he is saying.
Prithvi again closes his mouth to shut him up. Don’t talk like that Arjun. Prithvi cannot take it, he holds his buddy tightly. Pundir is watching silently.
Now I cannot go any further my friend, Arjun sobs. One cannot avoid the inevitable, Arjun shakes his head. It was not the death of Pundir it was for me. Arjun closes his eyes tightly, he is unable to bear his pain anymore he is also losing confidence in himself to live.
Pundir cannot take it anymore, no Arjun no, not you, I am the one who will die.
Arjun has become delirious he nods no for an answer.
Prithvi can see the conversation is getting them nowhere, Pundir come on why don’t we take him to Chand. Prithvi and Pundir lift him up, they carry him away.

The commander has brought with him the voice impersonator. He goes to Jaichand, Maharaj this is the man who can impersonate anybody’s voice just by listening to it once.
Jaichand asks the trooper, have you ever heard Prithviraj Chauhan’s voice?
Yes Maharaj, when he was fighting with you I was with you Maharaj. I can never forget his voice.
Good then let us listen to it.
“I was looking forward to this kind of meeting Jaichand, and whatever has happened, you, yourself are responsible for it, If you could just understand your daughters love……..” Like this the impersonator repeats the same words exactly in the same fashion as Prithvi’s voice tone.
Jaichand is satisfied with his voice sample, he raises his finger and says enough, done. Now call out to Sanyo in Prithvi’s voice.
The troop starts to call out to Sanyo in Prithvi’s voice just as Jaichand had ordered, Sanyogita! Sanyogita! Sanyogita!
In the cave both Sanyo and Chand can hear the voice of Prithvi calling out Sanyogita!
Jaichand looks around to see if Sanyo is anywhere nearby listening to the call. The troop continues to call her name repeatedly. They are both nearby the cave.
Sanyo says, Prithvi? Prithvi has come Chand, you told correctly, Prithvi has come!
Chand is doubtful.
More calls of Sanyogita!
Sanyo runs towards the entrance quickly.
Chand gets up from his spot and follows her behind, stop he tells her, Maharani Sanyo stop! Stop! Stop! Chand chases behind and over takes her. He blocks her at the entrance. Stop where are you going?
Sanyo smiles Prithvi has come, did you not hear it, he is near the cave and calling out.
Chand says, you already know how many dangers we have fallen into. One more mistake by us can put us in the mouth of death.
Means?
Chand explains, it means that we must first crosscheck if this voice that is calling you out is actually Prithvi’s or somebody else’s.

Jaichand is waiting for a response, what is it, if they are here they should have come out by now.
The commander says, but Maharaj we found the piece of her anklet here, so she must be around here somewhere.
I know that! But the question is that even after listening to Prithvi’s voice why haven’t they come out.
In the cave Chand insists no Sanyo, I will not allow you to go outside. That voice could be a trick even.
What are you saying Chand? I could make a mistake in recognizing Prithvi’s voice? I can recognize Prithvi’s voice from thousand others.
I know that properly says Chand.
Outside the troop continues to call, Sanyogita!
Sanyo listens inside the cave.
My heart says that somebody is playing a trick against us says Chand.
Where are you Sanyogita! The impersonator calls out again.
Sanyo says, did you hear that? He is calling me.
No, Chand tries to prevent her from leaving the cave, I cannot permit you to go out from here.
You cannot stop me from meeting Prithvi, Chand. Let me pass, move from my way, this is the order of Dhilli’s Maharani.
Chand is shocked by those words he can’t believe his ears.

Jaichand is getting impatient, looks like they are not here after all. Let’s go from here and search elsewhere.
Sanyo apologizes to Chand, I must go. Chand moves aside and Sanyo leaves through the entrance of the cave and goes outside. She is happy and runs to look for Prithvi. Prithvi! She runs further and shouts, Prithvi I have come. She looks ahead and passes by the bushes, but whom does she see?
Father you? She is surprised Chand was correct.

Prithvi, Pundir and Arjun sit next to a big rock as support, under a shade. Arjun rests, his eyes are closed. Prithvi says to Arjun don’t worry, everything will be alright. I will not allow anything to happen to you.
Arjun says I am not worried about myself but of sister-in-law. You should go and search for her. We don’t know where and what kind of condition she might be in.
Where ever she may be she must be well replies Prithvi. And Chand is also with her.
Chand has come out of the cave too. Jaichand sees them both. All the troops of Kannauj surround Chand. Jaichand orders the troops to kill him.

Arjun continues, but Prithvi, Jaichand is out on a killing spree. If he meets Chand and Sanyo, what will happen to Chand. Pundir you take Prithvi to the ‘trigud’ cave.
No Arjun we will not leave this place without taking you along says Prithvi.
Arjun is annoyed, again the same words.
And I am sure that Jaichand will never be able to reach to Sanyo.

Over at the other site, Chand takes on many troops one after the other. He pins 3 swords in the air and kicks one of the troops. Chand punches another in the stomach. Chand kicks another but gets kicked back, he gets wounded. One troop cuts into his back, he is hurt, but fights on. Chand uses his energy to pin three more swords of 3 troops in the air again.
Sanyo watches, she has tears in her eyes.
Chand pushes them away.
Jaichand finds the whole situation amusing.
3 troops fall down at the same on the ground.
As revenge one more troop kicks Chand in the face, he holds his wound with his other hand and fights on, he kicks him back, down to the ground. Another troop attacks him, one more also joins in, Chand fights with two troops at a time and pushes them away. His sword has fallen down he goes to pick it up. When he picks it up one troop kicks his head, and another attacks him simultaneously, he is injured in the head. Chand bumps into a tree and catches his head and drops his sword.
Sanyo screams Chand!
Chand falls down on his knees and falls flat on his face.

Arjun is still trying to convince his buddies to go. Prithvi you….
Arjun, says Prithvi, we will all go together.
Arjun makes a face.
I have already made my final decision, Prithvi gets up and walks to a rock and sits there alone thinking about the promises he made to Sanyo, how he would keep her happy after everything was over. Prithvi holds Sanyo’s veil which he still has, tightly.
Pundir and Arjun sit helplessly and wait.
Jaichand, Sanyo and the Kannauj troops move on to higher ground.
The Commander asks where we are going Maharaj. You had given orders to kill Rajkumari Sanyogita.
They all climb up a steep hill, they get to the top. Jaichand has tears in his face.
A troop asks Maharaj?
It’s just easy to say ‘Senapati’ Sheraz, to do it... To do it is not easy as you think it is. Jaichand wipes the tears with his hands and turns to face Sanyo, now we have come so far, a place where no one can come back from. Jaichand tells the ‘Senapati’ to inform the troops that wherever they see Prithviraj, kill him on the spot.
Sanyo looks terrified at her father.
