PART -4

====================

Prarish goes to their area to keep an eye on people in town.  Rishab is sitting on jeep. Pratha is standing infront of jeep. 

Rishab: bhook lagi hai kuch khana lene chale?

Pratha: ek minute.. Bahar jaane ki zaroorath nahi hai. 

Pratha gets her bag which had a box with sandwiches. Rishab smiles looking at her cute pink box. 

Pratha: aap hass kyun rahe hai ? Nahi khana toh theek hai 

Rishab : arre nahi mujhe tumhari box dekh ke hasi aayi. 

Pratha looks at her box and realizes its barbie's tiffin box. 

Pratha: Woh mera nahi hai.. Mere Neighbour ka hai. 

Rishab : Chill.. Maine thodi na pucha ab do mujhe. 

He takes away some sandwich from her box they both start eating 

Pratha: Aapko kya lagtha hai ?

Rishab : Kiss bare main?

Pratha : Kaun kar saktha hai ye sab ?

Rishab: to be honest I have no clue. Jithna sochtha hun iske bare main uthna hi ulaj jatha hun. 

Suddenly Pratha hears a faint voice of some one screaming from far. 

Pratha : aapko sunayi de rahi hai?

Rishab :Kya ? Mujhe toh kuch sunayi nahi de raha. 

Pratha mutters to herself : Inhe kaise sunayi dega ye toh aam insaan hai. 

Pratha : Main abhi fresh hoke aayi.. 

Rishab nods. 

Pratha takes her naagin form and starts crawling into the woods and reaches the place where a man is trying to kill his family. 

Pratha takes her huge 5 headed shesh naagin form.

Man acts like hypnotized zombie. 

He still tries to grab his family irrespective of who is standing in front of him. 

Pratha holds him in her tail. 

Pratha: Bol kisne bheja hai tumhe. 

Man : repeats a sentence every time in asuri language irrespective of what others are asking.

Pratha uses her power and takes that man into a shiv temple which is near to that place. She uses her power to hypnotize him with her eyes to get his senses back. 

his family is amazed to see this miracle. 

They bow down infront of shesh naagin. 

Pratha smiles and looks at them and uses her power to freeze them to erase their memory and leaves silently. 

she takes her snake roop and reaches the spot back. 

Suddenly those people become normal but they do not remember anything about the incident. They wonder why they are inside the temple and just leave to their house. 

Rishab who was waiting outside the restroom looks at pratha coming out after such a long time. 

Rishab : tumne itni der laga di main dar gaya tha. Kaha thi tum aisa kya kar rahi thi andar

Pratha : Rishab aap bhool rahe hai ki main ek ladki hun. hothe hai hazaron kaam ladkiyon ko. aapko thodi na batha sakthi hun sab kuch. 

Rishab : accha theek hai chalo ab. 

Pratha smirks from behind with the satisfaction that she was able to save a family. 

Rishab : ab ghar chale aaj ki duty khatham kal aathe hai phirse. Ajay already aachuka hai remaining shift ke liye. 

Pratha nods. 

Rishab sits on his jeep. Pratha sits in the front passenger seat. 

Pratha is lost in her thoughts as those words in asuri language are echoing in her mind. 

Rishab looks at her while driving.

Rishab: Kya hua kaha khoi ho?

Pratha : yahi soch rahi hun woh kya bol rahe the asuri bhasha main. 

Rishab : haan woh toh hai. Hame uss ke bare main kahi patha nahi chal saktha jaise koi library?

Pratha : ek jagah hai. 

Rishab : Kahan?

Pratha : Chaliye abhi chalthe hai. 

Rishab: Ithne rath ko.. woh jagah bandh hogi ab iss waqt. 

Pratha : Nahi woh kabhi bandh nahi hotha. 

She takes him to a very old temple which no one knows much about.  He sees the temple is shining in night with all Diya's which are lit inside temple. 

Rishab: Ye kaunsi mandir hai. 

Pratha : Kaafi log nahi janthe iss mandir ke bare main. sirf kuch hi log janthe hai. 

rishab nods. The both drop their slippers down the stairs and starts climbing the stairs with folded hands. 

They both walk inside temple to see that every corridor is well lit up using diya's. 

Rishab: Ye kithna khoobsurath hai. 

Pratha : haan..Woh toh hai. she smiles.

They both reach center of the temple where a sage is performing pooja and busy in decorating shivling. 

He sees prarish and smiles. 

Sage: Mujhe patha tha aap dono yaha ayenge. 

Rishab looks at him with amusement. 

Pratha smiles. 

Pratha : Baba mujhe asuri bhasha ki.. 

Sage : jantha hun.. tumhe jo bhi chahyie woh uss kambre main hai. tum dono jakar le sakthe ho. 

Pratha : bows down infront of him and rishab follows her gesture. 

Sages smiles and goes back to his duty.

Pratha rishab goes into that room and finds lots of books stacked on a shelf. 

Rishab : isme kaise doondhe ab. 

Pratha mutters to herself : ye chamatkari pustakalay hai. yaha kitab khud doondhne wale ki pass ajathi hai. 

She checks her bag and sees that book and smiles. 

She slowly removes that book from her bag and keeps it on shelves and pretends like it was on that shelf all along. 

Rishab was glad that he need not search among lakhs of books. 

Pratha : ab chale. 

rishab nods. 

Pratha and rishab bows down. 

Pratha speaks to the sage in telepathy. 

Pratha: Baba hame aapki ashirvad chahiye aap toh janthe hai duniya main kithna badha sakat aya hai. 

Sage : Jantha hun shesh naagin. Mera ashirvad aapke sath hamesha hai. 

Sage and pratha  smiles. 

Pratha : Baba ab hum chalthe hai. 

Sage: Theek hai 

They both leave the temple and as soon as rishab starts his jeep the lights on temple vanish in thin air and it becomes a khandar revealing it to be  a magical temple that appears only when someone needs it. 

They both reach pratha's house they both sit on sofa surrounding the book. She opens that book and sees that the book has common words and phrases listed. 

Pratha : Kya kah tha uss din usne she tries to recall. 

Rishab : It was something like " Manukulasmi VinNashechu" 

{ This is my own language some word flicked from sanskrit :P }

Pratha : right.. she turns the pages and finds the meaning of Manukulasmi. 

Manukulasmi mathalb Manushya yani manav kul. 

VinNashechu mathlab Vinash. 

Rishab: Manav kul ka Vinash?

Pratha nods. 

Rishab : Iska mathlab inka motive sirf bharath ko harm karna nahi hai pure duniya inki target hai. Lekin ye samajh nahi aaraha hai ki inhone bharath ko pehle kyun chuna.

Pratha : Ye toh mujhe bhi samajh nahi aaraha.
