इश्क़ की एक अनोखी दास्तान
Page 1 of 1
It was almost six in the evening. Cool breezes were blowing along the sea shore. Some boys and girls were partying there. It was Sydney's famous beach area. That area was booked by some VIP, so only their people were present there. Everyone was wearing swim dresses.
In the midst of all this, they were all surrounding a girl. She had thrown the beach party. She was wearing a rainbow lines swimsuit, in which her perfect figure was emerging. sara had light pale skin and dark grey eyes, was quite hot looking. She had an expensive champagne bottle in her hand.
"Sara... there is no match for you. You really are a princess. No one else can throw a party like this. I mean, you booked the whole beach. It's fabulous..." A boy said praising her. Along with this, everyone started cheering for Sara.
Happy with her praise, Sara smiled. "Cheers..." Sara shouted and opened the champagne bottle and pointed it towards her friends. "Have fun guys... After all, it's Sara Singhania's party. You all are the luckiest ones, who got a chance to attend this party." Her long, straight hair was flying in the air from her shoulder.
Along with this, the music there became loud. They were all dancing while drinking beer. Some of them were swimming. Everyone was lost in their own tune. At the same time, another girl was standing a little away from that crowd.
Her clothes were different from the others. Instead of wearing a swimsuit, she was wearing a knee-length pink floral beach frock. Her hair was waist-length and slightly curly. She had a big artificial yellow flower on one side of her hair. She was quite innocent and beautiful to look at.
She was standing near the beach looking at the waves of the sea. Just then she had a headache.
Looking towards the party, she said, "By God, if they keep the music so loud, my headache medicines will run out." She held her head and then took out a pill from the bag she had and swallowed it.
She started watching the sea waves again when a boy came out of the party and started coming towards her.
"Hey Krisha... why are you sitting here alone and getting bored? I mean let's have some party babe." He forcibly grabbed Krisha's hand and started dragging her towards the party.
Krisha started making unsuccessful attempts to free her hand from him. She shouted, "Please Steve, leave my hand... I don't want to have any party."
Due to the loud music, no one paid attention to her voice but while dancing Sara saw Steve misbehaving with Krisha. She stopped the music with a gesture.
As soon as the music stopped, the security guards standing at some distance raised their guns. Before they could take any action, Sara gestured them to stop there.
After that Sara started walking towards him with fast steps and separated Steve's hand from Krisha's hand by going to them. Everyone was behind her.
"When she is saying that she does not want to party, then why are you forcing her?" Sara shouted angrily. With this, a silence prevailed there.
"Come on babe... you are getting angry at me because of her? You forget who I am and who she is. She is just your servant... and you are giving her so much importance." Steve said looking at Krisha, who was glaring at him angrily.
"Take your words back Steve and apologize to Krisha right now." Sara said to him in strict words.
Everyone was aware of Sara's anger. That's why no one was coming in between. Steve's girlfriend came forward to support him, "Let it go now Sara. Okay Steve, there must have been a mistake but why will he apologize to Krisha. These kind of things keep happening. If you see, Krisha does not have that much status that any human being present here will even talk to her. Because of being with you, we give her a little bit of importance... It doesn't mean that Steve will bow down to her."
"If you don't apologize to Sara right now, it won't be good." Sara said in a cold voice.
"I will not say sorry to her. To hell with you and your party." Steve shouted loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Sara slapped him hard on the cheek. "Don't talk in a loud voice in front of me from now on. Forget about Krisha, none of you have the status to even stand in front of me here. Seems like while partying together, you have forgotten who I am." Sara said with full attitude and holding Krisha's hand, she started leaving from there.
As soon as they both went a little further from there, a lot of security guards came behind them. Sara was no ordinary person. She was a mafia princess, who was the granddaughter of the then ruling mafia. There were some other things too that made them different from all of them. Because of this, her security remained high anytime.
"Today you got too angry. Calm down... otherwise there will be a blast here too." Krisha tried to cheer her up.
"Shut your mouth." Sara replied. She was really very angry. As soon as she moved forward, the security guards were behind them.
A small bird was flying a little above those two. It was an advanced drone, which someone had planted to keep an eye on them.
As soon as that human saw both of them alone, there was a smile on his face.
"Be ready for action." A man's cold voice came.
Hearing his voice, there was a stir somewhere far away. The person who gave them the order was present somewhere else. He had an iPad in his hand, with which he was keeping an eye on both of them. His hazel blue eyes did not move away from the screen even for a moment.
"The one wearing the swimsuit has to be picked up. Kill the rest of the people." He said in his bluetooth.
"But if the other girl is left, she can go and give any clue. For the first time in the last 5 months, she is different from the crowd. We will deal with the guards because they will be in a separate car... but this girl will stay with Sara Singhania." In reply, a man's heavy voice came. He was near the pilot.
"Okay then kill her after bringing her to the destination." Saying this, he disconnected the call.
He was sitting in a big villa. He had a glass of wine in his hand on which his fingers were running.
"Sara Singhania, after the next 24 hours you will be with me. It is said that when a lion gets old, he should leave the jungle himself, otherwise a young lion will kill him and become the king himself. Your grandfather has forgotten this thing, but to remind him of this, the devil of the underworld is still alive." He said smiling.
The person sitting there was famous as Devil in the underworld. About 27 years old, with a height of 6 feet 3 inches and a muscular body, he was quite handsome. Everyone knew him by the name of Devil instead of his real name. He was exactly like a devil who had the ability to fulfill every wish of the person in front and in return, just like a devil, he would use him in every way.
____________________________
The scene on the other side was completely different. When Sara and Krisha went ahead, one after the other seven cars were waiting for her. Sara was very important, so no deficiency of any kind was left in her security. Sara sat with Krisha in a car in the middle and with this all the cars left.
"Don't ever underestimate yourself from now on." Sara said looking at Krisha, on which Krisha nodded in yes.
Both were talking to each other when suddenly the car jerked and Krisha narrowly escaped falling down in front. Sara also felt a push in front. All the cars stopped together.
The way to the jungle was starting ahead, where there were a lot of trees at short distances. At the same time, a truck was lying in the middle of the road, which had an accident. A man got out of the car in front and set off to see the truck. The truck driver was lying down there. He had only reached a little distance when suddenly the truck driver stood up and shot the driver of the car coming near him. As soon as he fired, some men jumped from the surrounding trees. One after the other, a lot of men wearing black clothes were coming out and raining bullets on all the cars. Some of them threw grenades around the cars, from which smoke was coming out. They were wearing light lenses because of which the smoke was not going to affect them.
Sara and Krisha's car was also shot at. Bulletproof cars faced the bullets for a long time, but after that their glasses were broken. One after the other, all the men were being killed. The door of Sara's car opened and her security guard asked both of them to come out. Both came out and the security guard started taking them towards a safe place. Just then a chopper was seen coming from a distance. The sniper man in the chopper killed all the guards protecting Sara from above.
Sara and Krisha sat down. Both were scared by all this. Sara had hugged Krisha. As they watched, all of Sara's security guards had been killed and the chopper was coming down. The chopper landed after exactly 2 minutes.
Silence prevailed for some time. One or two men who were alive were also shot and killed amidst this silence. Sara started looking towards the chopper.
A man of about thirty-five years came out from there. He had a gun in his hand. He asked his men to bring both of them inside.
Sara stood up from her place. "Whatever you have done, you know what the consequences will be. Maybe you are unaware of who you have attacked."
"Or maybe I know who and why I have attacked." The man replied mysteriously.
"It will be known anyway. Let's meet your boss too then." Sara said. Sara was still not as scared as Krisha was.
After a long journey of about 21 hours, the chopper reached London. It landed on the helipad built behind a big villa.
The security there was also very tight. In the midst of all this, Sara and Krisha were taken inside. In a short time, both of them were present in front of the person who had done this.
Seeing him, Sara said, "This is going to cost you dearly. The entire mafia empire will give you such a punishment that your coming seven generations will remember."
The boy listened to Sara's words with a calm face. He took off his glasses and looked at both of them carefully. He was standing silently. Just then Sara saw that her head security guard was being brought here.
He had been shot in the shoulder and knees due to which he was groaning in pain. That person took out a gun. He went to Sara's security guard. He grabbed him by the hair and looking towards Sara put the gun in his mouth and fired two bullets. After this, he fired again and fired three fires in his mouth one after the other. In a few seconds, the guard's body was lying on the ground.
Then he stood up and coming to Sara said, "So what were you saying? Something will be expensive....? How expensive...? So expensive that it can compete with Yug Rana...?"
As soon as he took his name, Sara froze there. Till now she had only heard the name of Yug Rana alias Devil and today he was in front of her.

Hello friends,
Do like and comment after reading the story. I hope you like the story.
Sara Singhania, who was a mafia princess, had been kidnapped by Yug Rana. He had kidnapped her and brought her to his villa in London.
Sara was standing outside the villa amidst tight security, while Yug's introduction had frozen her in place.
Seeing her pale face, Yug said with a smile, "Looks like your confidence is also dying like your security guards. By the way, what did you think, who else could have kidnapped you in the midst of such tight security besides me?"
"You didn't do the right thing. If this spreads in the underworld, everyone will be against you. Even though we do illegal things, there are some rules and regulations here too," Sara said angrily.
Yug was not affected by Sara's anger and words. He spoke with the same attitude, "But who knows that I am the one who kidnapped you and brought you here? The Rana and Singhania family made a deal years ago to stay away from each other."
"Still you picked me up? Anyway, I am not at all surprised as to why you kidnapped me. But let me clear one thing, you will never be able to succeed in your purpose. They will get me out of here," Sara said with full confidence. There was a slight smile on her face.
Yug walked up to her and came very close to her ear and said, "Time will tell, baby."
"Yes, everything will be clear with time, Yug Rana," Sara replied. Now there was no expression of fear on Sara's face.
While talking to Sara, Yug's eyes went to the back, where Krisha was standing. She was scared and her face was down.
"Make special arrangements for our princess to stay... and yes, there should be no shortage," Yug said in a loud voice.
As soon as he gave the order, two girls went to Sara and forcibly started taking her inside by grabbing her.
"I don't want to go... Leave me... This will cost you dearly, Yug Rana. I warned you," Sara shouted.
Sara was putting all her efforts not to go inside. Seeing her in trouble, Krisha said nervously, "Sara... Sara. Please leave her. Don't do anything to Sara."
Hearing Krisha's voice, Yug raised his hand and gestured the two girls to stop there. They left Sara.
Sara and Krisha were both surprised. Yug had not paid any attention to Sara's shouting voice till now, while as soon as Krisha said it, he left her immediately. Krisha looked at Yug and her fear reduced somewhat. There was a slight smile on her face.
"He doesn't look like a gangster from anywhere. Why is he looking at me like this? Do I like him? No God... please don't let this happen," Krisha was talking to herself mumbling, when Yug walked up to her.
"Please let us go... we will not tell anyone anything. God promise..." Krisha was saying when Yug took out the flower from her hair and crushed it in his fist.
"I hate yellow color..." Yug said dropping the flower down.
"You don't like yellow, so I will never wear yellow from today onwards. From now on, I hate yellow too. I won't even eat mango, it is yellow in color. Now let us go," Krisha was saying innocently when Yug distorted his face looking at her and said in a loud voice, "I don't like people who talk too much." Then looking towards his man, he said, why have you brought her here? I had said that you should kill her on the way itself."
As soon as Krisha heard about killing herself, she put her finger on her lips.
"It doesn't matter, I will complete the work that you people have left incomplete," Yug took out his gun and started loading it.
When he pointed the gun towards the front, Krisha made a crying face. She said in the same tone, "Please let me go. Let Sara also go with me. I swear, we both will not tell anything to the police."
Hearing Krisha's words, Sara held her head, while Yug looked at her and said, "Police? Who is this girl? She does not know that in our work, the word like police does not matter."
"Krisha what are you saying. You will not talk to this person," Sara shouted.
Before doing anything, Yug took a look at Sara's face carefully. He noticed the expressions on her face. There was fear on Sara's face. Then Yug looked towards Krisha and coming forward, grabbed her hair in his fist. Krisha screamed in pain.
Yug said to her in the same way, coming very close to her face, "Don't do this drama of being innocent in front of me. I should not hear even a word from your mouth from now on."
Krisha's eyes started getting moist. Yug left her and said to those girls, "Take her away too. Who knows when which thing may be useful. Waste materials are also very useful sometimes."
Hearing waste material for herself from Yug's mouth, Krisha was looking at him with hatred. She ran to Sara and hugged her.
"And make sure, both of them do not communicate with each other at all," Yug said without looking towards them.
Those two girls took Sara and Krisha inside. As soon as they left, Yug looked at the man who had brought those two here.
He was a well-built man of about 35 years, with a deep beard and moustache on his face. He came to Yug and said, "By now the news of these two being missing must have spread."
"Let it spread Malik, then it will be fun. The time has come to deepen the age-old enmity," Yug said nonchalantly and went inside.
As soon as he left, Malik tightened the security of the villa even more.
____________________________
There was a big villa in the outside area of New York City. It looked exactly like a palace. The security there was also very tight and amidst all this there was a stampede.
A woman of about 45 years wearing a designer office suit, was pacing here and there in a worried state.
"Don't know where sir has remained... it is not possible that he does not know anything after so much has happened," she was shouting at the man standing near her.
"Whatever it is, he has hit a big hand, Amrita Ma'am. Till date, no mafia family has had the courage to kidnap the princess, although attempts have always been made, but no one has got success in this way. He has even kidnapped our head security guard and killed all the guards present with them. Whoever this is, his reach is very high," the man told Amrita the whole situation.
After hearing everything, Amrita glared at him and said, "I am not standing here to listen to his praises. Go and do something and this news should not be leaked outside. Vikram I don't want anyone to know that Sara has been kidnapped."
"Krisha was also with them," Vikram said. Then he said showing a little surprise, "You are really too dedicated to this family. Your own daughter has been kidnapped, yet you are worried about Sara."
"Yes because he will not do anything to Krisha. We need to save our legacy, not to argue at this time on how much I am affected by whose kidnapping," Amrita scolded him.
She was arguing with him when the door of the lift on that floor opened and a man of about 70 years came out. He had a stick in his hand whose handle was decorated with gold and diamonds. He was also wearing designer clothes. He had decent hair on his head even at that age, which was half black and half gray in color.
"Now both of you shut up," he said in a stern voice. The expressions on his face were quite serious. He was Sara's grandfather, Mr. Aditya Singhania, who was at the position of king among all the mafias at this time.
"I am so sorry sir. It is all my fault that I could not take care of Sara," Amrita said bowing her head.
"Well, it's good that you have admitted your mistake. Be ready to bear the punishment if Sara gets even a scratch," he said in a stern tone. Then thinking something, he said, "Who had allowed Sara to have a beach party?"
"I was the one who gave her permission to party," Amrita said bowing her head, "She was being very stubborn. Then there was so much security too, so I..."
Amrita was trying to give her side of the story when Aditya Singhania interrupted her in the middle and said, "So you let her go without asking me. You are her caretaker, it doesn't mean that you get the right to be her mother. You have no right to take decisions for her, Amrita. Remember one thing, if my Sara gets a scratch, then your daughter will not be spared either."
"Strange family. Here the daughter has been kidnapped and instead of her life, they are worried about her getting a scratch. Hey, the one who will kill, will he not think about how much to hurt or how much not to..." Vikram mumbled. He was new and he did not know all the things properly yet.
Aditya ji heard his words. He glared at him and said, "She is Sara Singhania. Her life has a price and that person has kidnapped her to recover that price. Only a fool will kill Sara."
Saying his point, he left from there. He was not at all worried about who might have kidnapped Sara.
As soon as Aditya ji left from there, Amrita looked at him angrily. She said to him in the same tone, "You have joined new, so keep control on your tongue. Don't forget who you are working for. Now go and find out which mafia families are active in the whole world at this time and want to see themselves in the king's position."
That man nodded in yes and left from there. The king's position was such a position, which everyone wanted to get and it had only one key and that was Sara Singhania.

Stories have always been more than just a form of entertainment—they're a gateway to understanding emotions, cultures, and perspectives. Through storytelling, we explore more of the world around us, connecting with characters that feel more human than fiction. A powerful narrative can make us reflect more deeply on our lives, inspiring us to be more empathetic and compassionate. That's why platforms that encourage storytelling play a more vital role in shaping modern communication. As technology evolves, writers are given more tools to bring their ideas to life. Interactive elements, multimedia integrations, and community-driven feedback loops allow stories to be more engaging than ever before. Readers, too, expect more immersive experiences that captivate their imaginations and spark creativity. To meet this demand, platforms must do more than provide a space—they've got to foster a sense of belonging where creators and audiences feel more valued and connected. Moreover, the future of storytelling lies in being more inclusive and accessible. Diverse voices bring more depth and authenticity to narratives, creating a richer tapestry of experiences. By offering more opportunities for underrepresented creators, storytelling platforms can become more impactful in driving meaningful change. The more we embrace the world's variety of stories, the closer we come to understanding one another and building a more harmonious global community.
hello
अध्याय -19 आयशा इन ट्रबल भाग-2 ★★★ आयशा ने खुद को आगे किया और उसने खुद को सुनहरी रोशनी से चमका लिया। आरदु पहले से ही पीछे खड़ा था जबकि शौर्य को भी उसने पीछे कर दिया था। आयशा ने आदमी की ओर देखते हुए कहा, “तुम क्या चाहते हो?” वह आदमी धीरे-धीरे जमीन पर आने लगा और जब वह जमीन पर पूरी तरह से उतर गया, तब उसने कहा, “मुझे बस एक ही चीज चाहिए, बदला। मैंने सोचा था मैं आश्रम से बस एक ही शख्स को मारूँगा, उस भविष्यवाणी वाले लड़के को, जिसका नाम आर्य है। लेकिन अब तुमने और तुम लोगों ने मिलकर मेरे बेटे के साथ जो किया है, उसके बाद मैंने फैसला कर लिया है, मैं आश्रम में रहने वाले कीड़े-मकोड़े को भी नहीं छोड़ूँगा। आश्रम की एक ईंट तक नहीं बचेगी।” आयशा खुद को सुनहरी रोशनी से चमका कर खड़ी थी। उसने जोर से चिल्लाते हुए कहा, “यह लड़ाई सिर्फ़ तुम्हारे बेटे की नहीं थी, बल्कि तुम्हारे बेटे और हमारी थी। जब भी कोई लड़ाई होती है, तब किसी एक का मरना निश्चित होता है, यह बात तुम्हें भी अच्छे से पता है।” रिचर्ड ने अपना चेहरा ऊपर उठाकर कहा, “हाँ, मुझे अच्छे से पता है, इसलिए मेरी लड़ाई में अब सारे ही मारे जाएँगे।” रिचर्ड कुछ करता या फिर ऐसा करने की कोशिश करता, तभी तेज़ी से एक लड़की आई जो आयशा के काफी करीब आ गई और उसने मुक्का मारने की कोशिश की। मगर उसी वक्त आयशा ने उसे भांप लिया। जैसे ही वह मुक्का मारने को हुई, नीचे से ईंटों का ढेर निकला और वह अपने साथ उस लड़की को उड़ाते हुए दूर ले गया। वह लड़की दीवार से टकराई, जिसके बाद दीवार से भी काफी सारी ईंटें निकलीं और उसने उसे ऐसे जकड़ लिया जैसे जंजीरों में जकड़ा हो। वह मायराना थी। मायराना ने झटका दिया और अगले ही पल वह ईंटों को तोड़ते हुए फिर से आयशा की ओर आने लगी। आयशा ने सड़क से चार बड़े-बड़े सैनिकों को खड़ा किया जिनके हाथ में कंक्रीट से बनी हुई तलवारें थीं। उन्होने मायराना को रोकने की कोशिश की मगर मायराना ने एक-एक मुक्के में उन्हें तोड़ दिया। वह आयशा की ओर आते हुए बोली, “तुमने मेरे भाई के साथ जो किया, उसका बदला मैं खुद अपने हाथों से लूँगी। मैं तुम्हारे हाथों को तुम्हारे शरीर से उखाड़ दूँगी और तुम्हारी गर्दन को अपने पैर से कुचल दूँगी।” आयशा पीछे हुई और फिर उसने ऊपर की ओर देखा जहाँ पर लाइट के काफी सारे तारे लटक रहे थे। वे तारे जीवित हुए और साँप की तरह जाकर मायराना के शरीर के चारों ओर लिपट गए और अगले ही पल मायराना का शरीर एक झटके से हवा में लटक गया। आयशा ने उसे कहा, “ये सपने रात में देखो तो तुम्हारे लिए अच्छे होंगे, दिन में सपने देखना बंद करो।” मायराना तारों के जाल से खुद को छुड़ाने की कोशिश कर रही थी, मगर वह जितना खुद को छुड़ाने की कोशिश कर रही थी, तारे उतना ही उसे जकड़ते जा रहे थे। अगले ही पल कुछ तारे आपस में भिड़ गई और बिजली का ज़बरदस्त झटका मायराना के शरीर को लगा। ये हाई वोल्टेज के तारे थे, तो हाई वोल्टेज का करंट मायराना के शरीर को लग रहा था। करंट काफी देर तक लगता रहा और इसके बाद मायराना का शरीर बस कंकाल बनकर रह गया और वह कंकाल नीचे ऐसे गिर गया जैसे मिट्टी का ढेर हो। आयशा को लगा था मायराना ख़त्म हो गई है, लेकिन तभी सामने से मायराना फिर से आते हुए दिखाई दी। उसके चेहरे पर दिलचस्प मुस्कान थी, “मुझे तुम पर तरस आ रहा है। तुम्हें बचाने के लिए यहाँ पर आश्रमवासी भी नहीं हैं। समझ में नहीं आ रहा, तुम लोगों की अक्ल को क्या हो गया था जो तुमने मेरे भाई को मारने का फैसला किया? अगर तुम चाहतीं तो उसे बंदी बनाकर भी रख सकती थीं, लेकिन तुम्हें उसे मारना नहीं चाहिए था।” वह इतना ही बोली थी, तभी अचानक दाईं ओर से एक मायराना और दिखाई दी और उसने आयशा को चकमा देते हुए अपना मुक्का जोर से उसके मुँह पर मारा। आयशा तेज़ी से हवा में उछली और दीवार से जाकर टकराने ही वाली थी, तभी ईंटों के एक ढेर ने आयशा को पकड़कर संभाल लिया, मगर आयशा के मुँह की चोट से उसे अभी भी दर्द हो रहा था। आयशा ने अपने मुँह की ओर देखा तो वहाँ से खून निकल रहा था। आरदु तुरंत संभला और अभी-अभी जो मायराना दाएं तरफ़ से निकल कर आई थी, उस पर अपने चाबुक का हमला किया, मगर वह गायब हो गई और आयशा के ठीक पीछे प्रकट हुई। आरदु पीछे पलटा तो उसने देखा उसके ठीक सामने एक मायराना नहीं, बल्कि दो मायरानाएँ खड़ी थीं। एक मायराना सामने से चलती आ रही थी और दो मायरानाएँ आरदु के पीछे थीं। मायराना के पास काफी सारी ताकत थी; वह अपनी जगह से गायब हो सकती थी, अपने क्लोन बना सकती थी। सुपर स्ट्रेंथ भी उसकी शक्ति का हिस्सा था। दोनों मायरानाओं ने आरदु को उसके हाथों से पकड़ा और अगले ही पल उसे उछालकर दूर फेंक दिया। शौर्य जो अभी तक बेहोश था, मगर आयशा और आरदु की हालत खराब होने के बाद उसे होश आ गया था। उसने अपने शरीर को गुस्से से भर लिया। वह सफ़ेद रोशनी से चमकने लगा। शौर्य ने अपने सफ़ेद धागों को जमीन पर छोड़ दिया। सारे सफ़ेद धागे इन तीनों मायरानाओं के शरीर के पास पहुँचे और फिर उनके शरीर में चले गए। मायरानाओं के शरीर को अंदर से तकलीफ़ होने लगी और फिर बिजली के झटके तीनों ही मायरानाओं के शरीर को लगे। एक-एक कर मायरानाओं के तीनों ही रूप ख़त्म हो गए। मगर इन तीनों रूपों के ख़त्म होते ही सामने से 30 मायरानाएँ एक साथ चलती हुई दिखाई दीं। रिचर्ड ने अपना हाथ ऊपर किया और मायरानाओं को जहाँ थीं वहाँ रुकने के लिए कहा। वह आगे बढ़ा। आयशा, आरदु और शौर्य फिर से एक-दूसरे के करीब आ गए थे। रिचर्ड आगे बढ़ते-बढ़ते अचानक हवा में उड़ने लगा और हवा में उड़ने के बाद उसने अपने दोनों हाथ फैला लिए। वह बोला, “मुझे टाइम पास करने का बिल्कुल भी शौक नहीं है, इसलिए मैं तुम लोगों को दिखाने जा रहा हूँ मेरी ताकत क्या है।” आयशा ने अपने शरीर को सुनहरी रोशनी से चमका लिया। वह नीचे झुकी और अपने हाथ को पीछे की ओर किया। रिचर्ड अपनी बात पूरी करता, उससे पहले ही आयशा के हाथ में भगवान की तलवार आ गई। आयशा ने तलवार को पकड़ा और अपनी जगह पर घूमकर तलवार को फेंककर रिचर्ड की ओर मारा। तलवार रिचर्ड के शरीर से टकराई और उसे अपने साथ खींचते हुए आसमान की ओर ले गई। रिचर्ड को इस बात की उम्मीद नहीं थी और न ही इस हमले की। उसने अपने दोनों हाथों से तलवार को पकड़ा और उसकी गति को रोकने लगा; एक तरह से वह तलवार की गति का विरोध कर रहा था। उसके शरीर से काले रंग की रोशनी निकलने लगी जो तलवार को प्रभावित कर रही थी। धीरे-धीरे तलवार की रोशनी कम होने लगी और जैसे ही रोशनी कम हुई, वैसे ही तलवार की गति भी कम होने लगी। रिचर्ड अपनी जगह पर घूमा और तलवार को फेंककर आसमान में ही दूर फेंक दिया। तलवार काफी दूर गई और मुड़कर वापस रिचर्ड की ओर आने लगी। रिचर्ड ने अपने हाथ को मुक्के की मुद्रा में कर लिया; जैसे ही तलवार उसके पास आई, उसने जोर से मुक्का तलवार को मारा। मुक्का इतना जोरदार था कि तलवार नीचे की ओर गई और जमीन से टकरा गई। जमीन से टकराने के बाद वह उसमें आधी धँस गई और फिर उसमें इतनी हिम्मत नहीं रही कि वह दोबारा बाहर निकलकर फिर से रिचर्ड पर हमला करने के लिए जा सके। रिचर्ड के चेहरे पर गुस्सा था और उसने इतनी जोर से अपने मुक्के से मारा था कि तलवार एक ही बार में शांत हो गई। आयशा के पास तलवार को नियंत्रित करने के लिए वह ऊर्जा नहीं थी जो आर्य अए पास थी, वरना तलवार का इस तरह से शांत होना आसान नहीं था। आयशा ने तलवार की ओर हाथ किया और उसे दोबारा अपनी ओर खींच लिया। जैसे ही तलवार उसके हाथ में आई, उसने तलवार को अपनी लाल आयाम की ऊर्जा देना शुरू कर दिया। तलवार का रंग पहले सफ़ेद था जो आर्य की बची हुई रोशनी की वजह से था, मगर जैसे ही आयशा ने उसे लाल रंग की ऊर्जा देना शुरू किया, तलवार का रंग सफ़ेद से बदलते हुए लाल होने लगा। तलवार का रंग नीचे से बदलना शुरू हुआ था और वह धीरे-धीरे ऊपर तक बदलते हुए पूरा लाल रंग में बदल गया। मायरानाएँ लड़ाई के लिए आगे बढ़ीं और वह जब आगे बढ़ीं तो ऐसा लग रहा था जैसे काफी सारे सैनिक लड़ाई करने के लिए आयशा की ओर जा रहे हों। आश्रम में आयशा ने तलवार की ट्रेनिंग भी ले रखी थी। जैसे-जैसे मायराना के रूप आयशा के पास आने लगे, आयशा ने अपनी तलवार से उन पर हमला करना शुरू किया और हर एक तलवार के हमले से वह मायराना के एक रूप को ख़त्म कर रही थी। शौर्य ने भी अपने दोनों हाथों में दो लंबी-लंबी तलवारें बना लीं और वह भी मायरानाओं की ओर जाकर उन पर टूट पड़ा। आरदु ने भी हिम्मत दिखाई और वह भी मायराना के रूपों को ख़त्म करने लगा। सबने 30 मायरानाओं के रूपों को मार डाला, लेकिन उनकी मुसीबत फिर से ख़त्म नहीं हुई, क्योंकि 30 मायरानाओं को ख़त्म करने के बाद जब उन्होंने सड़क की ओर देखा तो वहाँ पर 300 मायरानाओं के रूप आते हुए दिखाई दिए। आरदु बोला, “समझ में नहीं आ रहा, इसे ख़त्म करने के बाद इसकी संख्या बढ़ती क्यों जा रही है? क्या इसकी ताकत में यह भी शामिल है कि हम जितनी बार इसे ख़त्म करेंगे, उतनी बार यह हमारे सामने आएगी, मगर पहले से डबल होकर या फिर ट्रिपल होकर या फिर पता नहीं कितने गुणा होकर?” आयशा ने थोड़ा सा सोचा और फिर कहा, “जो भी है, मुझे नहीं लगता हमें इससे लड़कर टाइम वेस्ट करना चाहिए। हमें यहाँ से जाने के बारे में सोचना चाहिए। मैं जानती हूँ हम आसानी से नहीं जा सकते, लेकिन हमें दुश्मनों के बारे में कुछ भी नहीं पता है और हमें जिन दुश्मनों की ताकत के बारे में या फिर उनकी कमज़ोरी के बारे में नहीं पता हो, हम उनसे मुकाबला नहीं कर सकते।” आरदु बोला, “शायद तुम सही कह रही हो।” आरदु अंधेरी परछाई में बदल गया और वह आयशा और शौर्य को भी अपने साथ अंधेरी परछाई में बदलने वाला था, मगर तभी मायराना का एक ग्रुप तेज़ी से आया और उसने आरदु को अंधेरी परछाई में ही पकड़ लिया। फिर उसे फेंककर सामने की सड़क की ओर मारा जहाँ पर एक ट्रक गुज़र रहा था। आरदु पहले ट्रक से टकराया और फिर उसे ट्रक के साथ ही दूसरी ओर दीवार से जा टकराया और एक तेज धमाका हुआ। यह धमाका इतना जोरदार था कि इसने सभी को इस तरफ़ ध्यान देने के लिए आकर्षित कर दिया। लोगों की भीड़ धीरे-धीरे इस जगह की ओर आने लगी। आयशा ने शौर्य की ओर देखा और फिर अपनी जेब से आश्रम की जादू की अंगूठी निकालने लगी ताकि वह जल्दी से आश्रम जा सके। मगर जैसे ही उसने अंगूठी को हवा में किया, अचानक आसपास के सारे परिदृश्य ही बदल गए और वह शहरी इलाके की बजाय सीधे ही एक बंजर इलाके में आ गई जो अंधेरे रंग की शाम से भरा हुआ था। जमीन पर राख थी। उसके ठीक पास शौर्य खड़ा था और डर उसके चेहरे पर भी दिखाई दे रहा था। आरदु भी ट्रक के साथ यहाँ पर आया था। तीनों को समझ में नहीं आ रहा था यह क्या है और क्या नहीं। आरदु ने खुद को अंधेरी परछाई में बदल लिया और वह तुरंत दोनों के पास आ गया। वह बोला, “ये आखिर कौन सी जगह है?” आयशा को भी समझ में नहीं आ रहा था अचानक वह कौन सी जगह पर आ गए हैं। दूर-दूर तक बंजर जमीन के अलावा और कुछ भी नहीं दिखाई दे रहा था। यहाँ का आसमान लाल रंग का था और उसी की रोशनी यहाँ पर थोड़ी बहुत आ रही थी और जमीन पर जो राख थी वह काले रंग की थी और दूर तक फैली हुई थी। इस राख में हड्डियों के कुछ टुकड़े भी दिखाई दे रहे थे। आयशा की तलवार उसके हाथ में थी और वह अभी भी लाल रंग की रोशनी से चमक रही थी। रिचर्ड उन तीनों के सामने प्रकट हुआ। वह बोला, “मुझे आम इंसानी लोगों के सामने नहीं आना और न ही तुम लोगों से लड़कर टाइम वेस्ट करना है। तो मैं कहाँ पर था? हाँ, मैं तुम लोगों को दिखाने जा रहा था मेरी ताकत क्या है।” उसने अपने दोनों हाथों को मुँह के सामने फैलाया और फिर उंगलियाँ मरोड़ने लगा। इससे काले रंग का धुआँ आने लगा जो इस पूरे इलाके में ऐसे छा गया जैसे किसी ने पानी के अंदर अभी-अभी काले रंग का लिक्विड मिला दिया हो। यह काला रंग का धुआँ आसमान से तेज़ी से जमीन की ओर आ रहा था। जल्दी ही यह धुआँ जमीन पर गिरा और फिर तेज़ी से आयशा, आरदु और शौर्य की ओर आने लगा। शौर्य सबसे आगे खड़ा था। सबसे पहले धुआँ उसके शरीर से टकराया। जैसे ही वह टकराया, अचानक पता नहीं उसे क्या हुआ, उसका पूरा शरीर काँपने लगा। आयशा जोर से चिल्लाई, “शौर्य??” आरदु भी चिल्लाया, “शौर्य??” आयशा तेज़ी से दौड़कर शौर्य के पास पहुँची। जैसे ही वह शौर्य के पास आई, उसने तलवार से लाल रंग की रोशनी निकाली और उसके एक घेरे को उन तीनों के चारों ओर बना दिया। भगवान की यह तलवार अपने मालिक की हर हालत में रक्षा करती थी, चाहे वह कितनी भी कमज़ोर क्यों न हो। तीनों के चारों ओर गोल्डन बुलबुले की तरह दिखाई देने वाला एक सुरक्षा कवच बन गया था। आयशा ने शौर्य को पकड़ा और उसे अपनी ओर खींच लिया। उसका शरीर काला पड़ रहा था। शरीर की नसें बाहर आने को हो रही थीं और वह भी काली पड़ गई थीं। शौर्य जमीन पर गिर गया और आयशा ने तुरंत उसे अपनी गोद में ले लिया। आरदु ने उसे छुआ और कहा, “नहीं... यह नहीं हो सकता...” वह तेज़ी से रिचर्ड की ओर मुड़ा और चिल्लाकर बोला, “तुम हमारे साथ ऐसा नहीं कर सकते हो, तुम्हें हमें छोड़ना ही होगा, तुम यह बहुत गलत कर रहे हो, तुम मौत के साथ खेल रहे हो... मौत के साथ...” आयशा को समझ नहीं आ रहा था आरदु को ऐसा क्या पता चला था जो वह इस तरह से गुस्से में रिचर्ड पर चिल्ला रहा था। रिचर्ड उनके पास आया और बुलबुले के कवच के पास आकर खड़ा हो गया। वह बोला, “शुरुआत तुम लोगों ने ही की थी।” अगले ही पल वह पलक झपकते ही गायब हो गया। आरदु ने शौर्य की ओर देखा और फिर आयशा की ओर। आयशा ने पूछा, “क्या... क्या है यह सब...” आरदु की आँखों में आँसू थे। वह घुटनों के बल जमीन पर गिर गया। उसने धीमे शब्दों में कहा, “यह मौत की ऊर्जा है... मौत की ऊर्जा... जिसका कोई तोड़ नहीं...” फिर उसने शौर्य की ओर देखा, “शौर्य.... अब इसे कोई नहीं बचा सकता।”
