Raat hote hi maa kadambari aur yuvaraj ko bhojan ke liye bulaya jaata hai. Dono ab wapas apne wastra pahankar bhojan karne jaate hai. Bhojan ke baad wapas dono usi kaksh me ek dusre ko baaho me so rahe hote hai.
Maa kadambari ab yuvaraj ke sine par apna sir rakhi hui thi. Yuvaraj ki aankhe khuli thi aur wo upar ki taraf dekh rahe the.
Maa kadambari- kya hua yuvaraj, ab tak to sabkuch thik tha. Bhojan ke baad se aap jada baat nahi kar rahe hai.
Yuvaraj- kuch nahi maa, hume bas rajya ki yaad aagayi. Pata nahi rajya me kya ho raha hoga. Bahot yaad aati hai hume rajya ki.
Maa kadambari - ye achanak se kya hua aapko yuvaraj. Aapko kahi kisi baat ka bhay ho raha hai?
Yuvaraj- waise aap kah sakti hai ki haa, hume bhay ho raha hai. Sultan par hum bharosa nahi kar sakte. Wo janta hai ki hum yaha hai. Kahi isi bahane wo hamare rajya par humla karne ke baare me na soche. Aur jabtak waha pitaji hai. Hume unpar jarabhi vishwas nahi hai.
Maa kadambari- lekin waha senapati aur pura sainya hai. Aap kis chiz ki chinta kar rahe hai.
Yuvaraj- senapati, haa. Wo hai, lekin wo ek aagyakari hai maa. Wo tabtak kuch nahi kar sakte hai. Jabtak unhe unke yuvaraj ya maharaj agya na de.
Maa kadambari samajh nahi paa rahi thi ki yuvaraj ke man me ye sab achank kyun aa raha tha. Tab unhe laga ki shayad bhojan ke samay hui baatchit me jab vikramapur ke baare me jikar kiya gaya. Shayad usi karan se yuvaraj soch me pad gaye the.
Maa kadambari ne dhire se apne haath yuvaraj ke chahre par sahalaya.
Maa kadambari- abhi ye sab sochne ka samay nahi hai yuvaraj. Abhi aap sojaiye.
Yuvaraj- lagta hai hume nind nahi aa rahi.
Maa kadambari ek muskurahat ke saath- accha aapko hamare rahte bhala kaise nind nahi aayegi. Hamare paas aapke nind ka upaay hai.
Maa kadambari ne apne kunchi ko khola aur apne stano ko khol diya. Apne pallu ko hatakar wah pith ke bal let gayi aur yuvaraj ke sir ko apne haath me lekar kaha.
Maa kadambari- ab yaha apna sir rakhkar so jaiye. Hume pura yakin hai aapko acchi nind aayegi.
Yuvaraj ne muskurate hue apne sir ko maa kadambari ke stan par rakh diya aur dhire dhire aankhe band kar sone lage.

Vikramapur ------
Vikramapur ke rajmahal ka ek kaksh madhur sangeet aur madira ki sugandh se bhara hua tha. Kaksh ke beech mein ek resham ka aasan tha, jismein Raja Ranvijay ek vaishya, Roopvati, ke stan par apna sir rakhe let rahe the. Roopvati ke reshmi vastra uske sharir par ek kaamuk roop banaye hue the. Raja Ranvijay ka haath Roopvati ke stano par dheere se phisal raha tha.
Ek doosri vaishya, Kamini, ek sone ka pyala tayyar kar rahi thi, uske hothon par ek kaamuk muskurahat thi.
Raja Ranvijay: (nashe mein, Roopvati ke stano par sir dabate hue) Roopvati, teri yeh narmi toh swarg se bhi sundar hai. Aaj raat tu hamare liye kya khel khelegi?
Roopvati: (kaamuk muskurahat ke saath, unke kaan ke kareeb hoth le jaakar) Maharaj, aapke liye toh hum apni jaan bhi de dein. Lekin pehle yeh madira ka ghoont toh lijiye. (pyala unke hothon ke kareeb leti hai)
Raja Ranvijay: (ek ghoont peete hue, madira se jalan mehsoos karte hue) Haan, yeh baat hai! Is madira mein toh jadoo hai, Roopvati. Aur tu bhi kam jadoogarni nahi! (gandi hasi ke saath)
Kamini: (pyala leke kareeb aati hai, pallu halka sa sarkate hue) Maharaj, yeh pyala aapke liye vishesh hai. Ismein swarg ka ras hai. (pyala unke haathon mein deti hai)
Raja Ranvijay: (ek aur ghoont peete hue, aankhein nashe mein dheeli) Kamini, tum dono ke bina yeh rajmahal suna hai. (Roopvati ke stano par haath rakhkar) Yeh sukh koi raja hi samajh sakta hai! (zor se hasne lagta hai)Achanak, Raja Ranvijay apna sir uthata hai, uski aankhein nashe ke bawajood ek teevr chamak se bhari hain. Woh Roopvati ko ek taraf dhakel deta hai aur aasan se utar jata hai, apne kurte ko theek karte hue.
Raja Ranvijay: (gandi hasi ke saath, Kamini ki or dekhkar) Bas, yeh raat abhi lambi hai, meri raniyon. Tayyar raho, Maharaj ke sukh ka khel abhi shuru hoga! (ek aur pyala haath mein lete hai) Kaksh ke deepak dheemi roshni de rahe the, aur Raja Ranvijay ka chehra ek ayyash raja ka roop dikhayi de raha tha, jo madira aur kaamukta ke nashe mein dooba hua tha.
Roopvati: (kaamuk muskurahat ke saath, apni saadi ka pallu poora kholkar, apne nagn stano ko prakat karti hai) Maharaj, aapke sukh ke liye ek aur chingaari chahiye. Main Mohini ko bulati hoon, woh aapke dil ko jala degi. (kaksh ke darwaze ki or ishara karti hai)
Kamini: (apni saadi ko kholkar, apna nagn sharir prakat karti hai, pyala haath mein leke) Haan, Maharaj, Mohini ki adayein aapko swarg tak le jayengi.
(pyala Raja Ranvijay ke hothon ke kareeb leti hai)Raja Ranvijay ek aur ghoont peeta hai, unka sharir madira ke nashe mein jhoom raha tha. Roopvati kaksh ke darwaze tak jati hai aur dheere se awaaz deti hai. Thodi der baad, Mohini kaksh mein pravesh karti hai. Uski saadi itni patli thi ki uske nagn sharir ke har ang ki chamak dikhayi de rahi thi. Uske stano par sirf ek sone ka haar tha, jo deepakon ki roshni mein chamak raha tha. Uske hothon par ek kaamuk muskurahat thi.
Mohini: (narm, kaamuk awaaz mein, apni saadi ko poora kholkar, apna nagn sharir prakat karti hai) Maharaj, aapne mujhe yaad kiya? Aaj raat main aapke har sukh ki daasi hoon. (aasan ke kareeb aati hai, apne sharir ko dheere se hilati hui)
Raja Ranvijay: (nashe mein, Mohini ke nagn sharir ko dekhkar) Mohini, tera yeh roop toh apsarao se bhi sundar hai! Aaja, yeh raat abhi jwalamukhi banegi! (Mohini ko apni baahon mein kheench leta hai)
Raja Ranvijay apne kurte ko poora utar deta hai, unka nagn sharir deepakon ki roshni mein chamak raha tha. Woh Mohini ko aasan par letata hai, uske nagn stano par apne hoth rakhte hai, aur uski twacha ki garmi ko chakhne lagta hai. Mohini ka sharir nashe mein tharthara raha tha, uski kaamuk siskiyan kaksh mein goonj rahi thi. Roopvati aur Kamini aasan ke paas baith jati hain, apne nagn sharir ko dheere se hilati hui, madira ke pyale haath mein leke, Raja Ranvijay ke josh ko aur bhadkati hain.
Mohini: (siskiyon ke saath, nashe mein) Maharaj, aapki yeh garmi... mujhe jalaa rahi hai... aur... (uski siskiyan teevr ho jati hain, uske nagn sharir par Raja Ranvijay ke haath phisal rahe hain)
Roopvati: (Kamini ki or muskurate hue, apne stano par haath pherte hue) Dekh, Kamini, Maharaj ka josh aaj toofan ban raha hai. Mohini ke yeh roop unhein pagal kar raha hai!
Kamini: (madira ka pyala uthakar, apne nagn sharir ko dheere se hilati hui) Haan, Roopvati, yeh khel toh swarg se bhi upar hai. Maharaj ke liye aur madira lao! (ek ghoont peeti hai)
Raja Ranvijay ka nagn sharir Mohini ke sharir se chipak gaye, uske hoth uske stano se hote hue uski kamar tak sarke. Unke haath Mohini ke sharir ke har ang ko tatol rahe the, aur uski saansein teevr thi. Mohini ki chinkhein kaksh ke bahar tak goonj rahi thi, jahan bahar khade rakshak chupke se sun rahe the, unke chehre par kaamuk muskurahat thi. Roopvati aur Kamini sangeet ke saath apne sharir ko nachati hui, Raja Ranvijay ke liye madira ke pyale bhar rahi thi, unki chudiyon ki khanak kaamuk mahaul ko aur gehra kar rahi thi.
Lekin Raja Ranvijay ka josh nashe ke karan jaldi charam par pahunch gaye. Unke sharir mein ek teevr siharan hui, aur unka virya jaldi nikal gaya, uski saansein abhi bhi teevr thi. Mohini ki chinhein aur teevr hui, uska nagn sharir nashe mein tharthara raha tha, aur kaksh ke bahar unki awaazein ek kaamuk sangeet si ban gayi.
Mohini: (siskiyon ke saath, nashe mein) Maharaj... aapka yeh josh... main toh swarg mein hoon... (apne hoth Raja Ranvijay ke gale par rakhti hai)
Raja Ranvijay: (saans phoolte hue, nashe mein) Mohini, tum ek agni ho... tumne mujhe jala diya! (aasan par let jata hai, aankhein band karte hue)
Raja Ranvijay apne bagal mein rakhe sone ke thaal se ek chamakti hui sone ki anguthi uthate hai, aur Mohini ke haath mein rakh dete hai. Phir woh Roopvati aur Kamini ki or dekhta hai, aur do aur sone ki anguthiyaan unhein bhet karte hai, unke nagn sharir par haath pherte hue.
Raja Ranvijay: (gandi hasi ke saath) Yeh lo, meri raniyon. Tumne aaj Maharaj ke dil ko jeet liya. Yeh anguthiyaan tumhare sukh ka inaam hain! (Mohini ke stano par haath rakhkar muskurata hai)
Roopvati: (anguthi pehenkar, kaamuk awaaz mein) Maharaj, aapka yeh pyaar humein amar kar deta hai. (apne nagn sharir ko Raja Ranvijay ke kareeb leti hai)
Kamini: (anguthi pehenkar, madira ka pyala uthate hue) Maharaj, aapke inaam aur yeh raat hum kabhi nahi bhoolenge. (pyala Raja Ranvijay ke hothon ke kareeb leti hai)
Kaksh ke deepak dheemi roshni de rahe the, aur Raja Ranvijay ka nagn sharir nashe aur kaamukta ke aagosh mein dooba hua tha. Mohini, Roopvati, aur Kamini uske charon or thi, unke nagn sharir deepakon ki roshni mein chamak rahe the.
Udhar senapati jaydeep rajmahal ke baahar apne talwar ko ghaanv de rahe the. Unke chehare par ek krodh tha. Wo badi tezi se talwaar ko us lohe par ghis rahe the.
Vishwajeet- kya hua senapati ji, aap bahot gusse me lag rahe hai.
Senapati ka dhyaan bhatak jaata hai. Wo dekhte hai ki vishwajeet unke saamne aakar khada tha.
Senapati- raat bahot hi chuki hai, tum abhitak soye nahi..
Vishwajeet- hum sone ki hi taiyaari kar rahe the. Lekin aapko dekhkar hum yaha aaye. Agar aap chahe to hume bata sakte hai.
Tabhi wo tino vaishyaye rajamahal se baahar haste hue jaa rahi thi. Unhe dekh senapati jaydeep ka khoon khol uthata hai.
Senapati- man to yahi karta hai ki ise talwaar se in sab ko ek ghaav me mitadu. Lekin...
Vishwajeet- yuvaraj jald hi aayenge senapati ji. Phir se sab kuch thik hoga.
Senapati- hum bhi yuvaraj ke ane ka intezaar kar rahe hai vishwajeet. Par pata nahi wo kab aayenge. Aur kab is rajya me sabkuch wapas thik hoga. Maharaj na aam janta ke baare me sochte hai. Na sena ke bare me, naa kisan ke baare me, naa bachho ke bhavishya ke bare me. Agar aisa hi chalta raha to...
Vishwajeet- aisa kuch nahi hoga senapati ji. Wo bilkul surakshit hai aur wo jald hi laut aayenge.
Senapati- aisa lagta hai, yah ek sochi samjhi chaal thi. Shayad hum bhi samajh nahi paaye the. Yuvaraj ka jaana aur usi samay baadh ana. Iska arth hai maharaj sabkuch pahle hi taiyyariyan kar chuke the.
Vishwajeet- shayad ye sach bhi ho sakta hai. Lekin hume ji samchar mila uske anusaar badh ka paani ab puri tarikese khatm ho chuka hai.
Senapati- phir to ye ek accha sanket ho sakta hai.
Senapati kuch bahot hi gahri soch ne lag rahe the.
Vishwajeet- vaise hum ab sone ke liye jaa rahe hai senapati ji. Aap bhi thoda vishram kar lijiye.
Senapati- haa.
..
Raat kaafi gahri ho chuki thi lekin is raat ke sannate ne koi so nahi paa raha tha wo tha sultan ke rajya me...
Agla bhaag jald hi.
