Part XXII
Nandini came to her room crying, she pulled her necklace out and destroyed it. Chandra also came back with his friends and reunited with Chaya as well. They both hugged each other and cries.
Next Morning
Another occasion was there. Suddenly Shaktar came crying to Pauravraj and fell on his feet in front of all guests. He pleaded Pauravraj, please release my daughter, free her, we will leave this kingdom forever. I beseech you. Everyone was shocked. Philipus and Eudemus were watching all of this with slight amusement. Pauravraj shocked, your daughter? What happened to Suhasini. Shaktar said I don't know Pauravraj but I have got the news she has been sent in service of Maharaj Dhan Nanda, release her I beg you. Pauravraj shocked, Suhasini is a noblewoman, who dared to do this? Maharaj is our guest, he certainly wouldn't have demanded this. Who did this? I demand to know, he shouted. Malayketu was scared. Nandini was also seeing the drama. Only kings and nobles were there so Chandra and co. were not there.
Dhan Nanda said let me clear your confusion Sire, he called for Suhasini, she came in sabha with her head down. Shaktar hugged her and kissed her forehead. Where were you my dear? Suhasini went ahead without speaking and stood beside DhanNanda. She said now I am in Maharaj's service, this is my own decision and no one is responsible for it. Everyone was shocked. Shaktar said dear don't be afraid, who is threatening you. Suhasini said no one is threatening me father. I have accepted the king as my lord. Everyone was shocked. Eudemus said, what a beautiful girl, why couldn't she choose us. Philipus said because you are not old like that fella and they both laughed.
Pauravraj said so the matter is settled then , shaktar saw Malayketu and Dhan Nanda with fiery eyes, he vowed revenge in his mind.
Chanakya was watching all this by hiding, he thought now my plan will come in action.
Chandra and Durdhara were sitting together in royal garden.
Durdhara said Chandra I am very worried about curse of Nandini, she cursed you in great pain. I am really scared, can you be such a fool in love that a woman can make you intoxicated with desire?
Chandra said don't worry Durdhara, like Swarna said it's all a myth. Curses don't work. Durdhara said but when someone is in deep pain it might work. Chandra stopped her and said Durdhara, we do not know what future brings, I am soon gonna start a war against Yavan Satraps in Vahik Pradesh, before that I want you to be free from any debts or favours or tension. I would have married you and entered in grihasth ashram but I know Acharya won't allow it yet. So we will have to wait a little longer.
In Babylon
Apama, wife is Seleucus was trying to make her daughter stop from crying but she wasn't stopping. Some doctors came.
Apama said- What is happening to my baby doctor?
Doc said Shahbanu, I am really scared for Shahzadi. She needs to have some climate change to feel better.
Apama said - climate change? How?
Doc said- Take her to Indos, there is a region called Taxila, our Satraps had a great influence there.
Apama said- Taxila? It's too far away. Shehnshah Baseilus Nicator is not in Babylon, he has gone to Armenia. How can I take her alone?
Doc said- To save her life you must.
Apama thought I should also consult oracle before going on this long journey.
Apama went to meet oracle
Apama- Oracle, tell me about future of my child Helena.
Oracle saw Helena and did her work, she starred laughing
Apama said- what happened oracle?
Oracle said, you should become very happy Shahbanu Apama, the future of your this child is extremely bright. She will marry into an exalted family, of most pious and noble kings.
Apama became happy
Oracle further said- Helena will get all the love of her husband, there is no person in this world who would love her more than him, he would be madly in love with her, she would be irresistible to him, she would become mother of warriors and beautiful daughters, her husband would protect her, dote on her...
Apama became very happy....
Oracle said- BUT ...................she will marry into an enemy family.
Apama shocked- Enemy? Shehnshah's enemy so far is Antigonus. Will she be queen of Makedon?
Oracle said- No......she will be queen of the greatest Emperor ever born, he will be called Best of Sovereigns, moat moralistic but he will be arch enemy of your husband.
Apama got scared, she said- so should I take her to Taxila?
Oracle - you are not taking her Taxila , you are taking her to her destiny
Apama left in shock
Oracle carefully observed and said- Helena will save Baseilus Nicator's life, if she prematurely dies, her soulmate will kill Baseilus. This girl when get older would be so beautiful that even monks would leave their vows for her, she will save her father and make her husband fall madly in love with her.
Part XXIII
In evening, Dhana Nanda invited everyone including non nobles so Chandra was there. Nandini was sitting decked up in Jewellery but motionless and emotionless
Dhan Nanda said- I am very delighted to announce that my Daughter Nandini and Son of Pauravraj will soon be tied in one knot as Husband and Wife.
Everyone cheered on this news
Dhan Nanda smilingly said- My daughter is my life, come here daughter, Nandini arrived but she was poker faced, without any emotions
Durdhara said to Chandra- you are very cruel Chandra, stop this before it's too late.
Chandra- I won't be stopping anything, if Malayketu is in her Niyati so be it.
Swarna said- Now you are actually being cruel Chandra, save her. She obviously does not want to marry Malayketu, all she wants one assurance from you.
Chandra annoyingly said- stop you two
Dhan Nanda puts hand of Nandini in Malayketu's hand, suddenly nandini felt a jerk, she quickly took her hand away. Everyone was shocked.
Nandini said- I am sorry, I am not feeling well today so did it by mistake, pardon me Rajkumar.
Malayketu said- This is the first and last time a wife has said sorry because it's department of Husbands to always say sorry
And everyone laughed but Nandini was still emotionless, she was avoiding any eye contact with Chandragupta or she would start crying again.
Everyone was feasting and having celebrations except Nandini. She saw Durdhara and Chandragupta laughing together and felt a great pain in her heart. She excused herself and locked herself in her room. I......I don't want to live, I will kill myself but as she was about to drink poison from her ring someone grabbed her hand, it was Chandra himself.
Nandini shocked- Why are you here? Why are you stopping me?
Chandra said- Because it's foolishness, both marrying and trying to kill yourself. If you don't want to marry so deny your father.
Nandini said he won't listen, it's an alliance not a normal marriage. He made her sit on the bed and sit beside her. He said you are mad about last night. Nandini said you hurt me extensively. Chandra said I was thinking about your curse and thought how stupid it was. You really think there is a woman in this world who can make me madly in love. He laughed. I love my family, Durdhara , Acharya and everyone dear to me, I even love you. Nandini smiled , but it's not the kind of love I want. Chandra said ha maybe but why lose hope? Who knows what future brings? Nandini said, Chandra don't be cruel enough to give me hopes.
Chandra cupped her face, Nandini you have done a lot for my family and just because you fell for me, I greatly respect your love for me because it made an Ahankari rajkumari to a kind person but there are things you don't know about me and when you will know you will be shocked and disheartened. Choose wisely, very wisely, one wrong decision and you will cry tears of blood your whole life. He kissed her forehead and put a new necklace on her. My kindhearted Rajkumari, Bye for now. Nandini smiled tearfully
Part XXIV
Chandra, Akshay and Swarna met Acharya. Chandra asked Acharya what's plan now? We have been here for two days and still haven't achieved anything.
Chanakya - My first plan flopped but I am making sure my next plans doesn't fail.
Chandra- What's the plan?
Chanakya - To create rift between Dhan Nanda and Malayketu. Those cruel people abused Suhasini, they will pay for it and for abusing their power.
Chandra - But how the rift will be created?
Chanakya - Wait and Watch
Durdhara came to meet Nandini
Durdhara - Rajkumari
Nandini- oh here is beloved of my love, come in
Durdhara was embarassed - I am sorry Rajkumari, I tried to convince him but he is too stubborn.
Nandini laughed- My curse will not go waste, he has hurt my love, my feelings, if he is stubborn, he will get a woman Stubbornly childish. Durdhara you won't be the only woman in his life, not his only love that's my curse to you.
Durdhara shocked
Nandini- you are a woman, you know how vile women can be for their love, my curses are my pardon for you and Chandra, you will never be the only woman he will love, a certain someone in his life will definitely come who will make him Intoxicated with desires, he will be madly in love and you won't be able to see it. That woman will be my revenge with you. He will love her more than you , cherish her more than you, will be of her's only whenever she enters in his life.
Durdhara said- Enough, I have had enough, I am indebted for your kindness but now you are looking like a hypocrite, you only saved me to get to Chandra, I always knew that but still respected it, just because you can't have all his love, you are cursing him to be intoxicated with a woman. How awful.
Nandini- How dare you talk to me like that? I am still a princess Durdhara, remember that. You must behave.
Durdhara - And I am not a slave anymore, from now on we shall live with Acharya and Chandra. Whatever expenses you spent on us will be paid back to you.
Nandini laughed - Ok we will see
Durdhara - You shall Nandini, we were friends till I saw goodness in you, now I only see a woman with revenge.
Nandini smirked

She started laughing like a maniac, a peacock killing a bull, she started laughing more..... miraculous, unbelievable......This girl is like a rose, she can distract anyone in this world and her scent is as intoxicating as a fragrant rose.
She shouted, it will be the greatest love story in the World, those curses, those curses will work, no one can save him....No one she started laughing more.........a broken heart, a longing heart and a surrendered heart.........she laughed more and more......no matter what he will try He can't escape, HE CAN'T ESCAPE.........she trapped him with curses........you fool, you could curse him and he would be yours, instead you cursed him to be hers........ Now who will save him? Whosoever will try will die.

Don't worry won't tag you, historical fiction genre is not of everyone's taste.
Nice story. Would you want to consider renaming the characters since this will not follow the true history?
