Chương 168: Deed-169: Pledge

{January 2015 A. Y. Yokai Realm inside Naimisha Kingdom's Palace} [Inside training area] [On seeing Barfi there, Charu Hashini, Sri Hari, Gunaniddhi and Sampath got surprised, as no one was allowed to disturb their training, but Barfi had entered there for the first time] [Mahindra Giri's commander stops training the princes and looks towards Barfi with a bit of rage and curiosity] [Barfi with a sad and dull face] Barfi: Sorry for the disturbance, but I am here with the Queen's permission!

[Mahindra Giri's commander approaches Barfi along with the princes and princess] [Barfi on seeing the princes and princess, hugs them immediately and cries on their shoulders] [Mahindra Giri's commander was surprised by Barfi's actions, as he had never seen any Naimisha Kingdom commander that sad and crying in public] [Charu Hashini, Sri Hari, Gunaniddhi and Sampath were shocked and asked why she was crying] [Barfi says that she is leaving and is no longer the commander of Naimisha Kingdom. After hearing those words, the children become surprised] [Barfi says that she disturbed them all to say goodbye before leaving] [Charu Hashini, Sri Hari, Gunaniddhi and Sampath with rage, ask who had the guts to remove her from her post] [Barfi smiles and says that it was all because of her sins and her own doing, making the princes and princess confused] [By saying those words, Barfi leaves the training area and the Naimisha Kingdom with sad tears] [Charu Hashini, Sri Hari, Gunaniddhi and Sampath are surprised by all that. They look at their instructor with requesting faces] [Their instructor understands that they are all surprised and not in a position to focus on their training until they know what happened, hence their instructor allows them all a half-day leave] [Charu Hashini, Sri Hari, Gunaniddhi and Sampath thank their instructor and rush towards their dad] [Charu Hashini, Sri Hari, Gunaniddhi and Sampath are surprised, as they are unable to find anyone in the royal dining hall during lunchtime] [By looking at those empty seats, the princes and princess become more anxious and rush towards Lotus' chamber] [Inside Lotus' chamber] [Charu Hashini, Sri Hari, Gunaniddhi and Sampath ask Lotus what has happened and why Barfi left] [Lotus with a bit of a dull face smiles and tells them all that happened] [On listening to the incident, Sri Hari with a bit of rage] Sri Hari: Maa, I never knew that you could joke about something like that!

[Gunaniddhi and Sampath with a dominating tone] Gunaniddhi: Quiet! Did you really dare to badmouth Maa Lotus? Gunaniddhi: Do you want to be slapped!?! Sampath: Sri Hari, did you really think that Maa would ever joke about something like that!?! [Sri Hari with a sad face] Sri Hari: Dad would never do something like that! It doesn't sound like him at all!!!

[Lotus smiles and gently knocks on Gunaniddhi and Sampath's heads, as they were threatening their brother with their words] [Lotus goes and hugs Sri Hari and comforts him with her words] [Charu Hashini with a smile and sigh] Charu Hashini: Sri Hari, that's the kind of person our dad is! Charu Hashini: He would send his own blood to exile if we dared to commit sins!!! Charu Hashini: Moreover, Dad gave her multiple chances, yet she wanted to leave! Charu Hashini: Crocodile tears in the end don't affect anyone!

[Lotus looks at Charu Hashini with a bit of rage] Lotus: Hashini! Don't talk like that! I know that you can sense emotions!!! Lotus: Tell me, when Barfi came to you, was she faking it all or were those genuine sad tears!?!

[Charu Hashini's eyes start becoming wet and she turns her face away in silence] [Lotus observes Charu Hashini's silence and hugs her too] [As soon as Lotus hugs Charu Hashini, Charu Hashini starts weeping on Lotus' shoulder] [Charu Hashini cries out] Charu Hashini: Those were surely the saddest tears I have ever seen! She sure was carrying mountains of sadness on her shoulders! It was too sad to even look at her!!! Charu Hashini: We can't do anything except show pity and empathize with her, Maa!

I was helpless, Maa!!! [Lotus smiles and hugs her tightly, as she knew that Charu Hashini was sad and in pain too while Barfi was leaving] Charu Hashini: I didn't mean what I said, Maa!!! Charu Hashini: It was surely genuine sadness! But I could never even dream of portraying Dad as a cruel person! Charu Hashini: That's why I blamed Barfi instead! I didn't mean all that, Maa!!!

[Lotus smiles and comforts Charu Hashini, Sri Hari, Gunaniddhi and Sampath, as they were all sad, frustrated, and helpless, unable to stop Barfi from leaving] [Gunaniddhi out of rage, takes a pledge] Gunaniddhi: As soon as I become the king, I will bring Commander Barfi back to our palace! Gunaniddhi: How dare they insult us like this! How dare they try to take our commander from us! Gunaniddhi: I would never forgive them!!!

[On hearing that pledge from Gunaniddhi, Lotus, Sampath, Charu Hashini and Sri Hari get a bit proud and confident, as they all know how strong their brother is. If he promises that he will do something, then he will do it for sure] [Charu Hashini with determination shouts] Charu Hashini: From tomorrow onwards, I will also train alongside you all! Charu Hashini: I will take permission from Dad to allow me to get trained by your instructor too, brothers!!! Sri Hari: If Sis trains, then I will train too!!!

[Lotus smiles at their cute and determined faces] [On hearing that, Charu Hashini, Gunaniddhi and Sampath say no, as he is too young and ask why he wants to train and become stronger when they will all protect him] [Lotus sighs on hearing those words, as Charu Hashini, Gunaniddhi and Sampath say that they will always protect Sri Hari] [On Lotus' sigh, all the children look at Lotus curiously to know what she means by that sigh] [Lotus smiles and explains to them all that protecting someone always means stealing their opportunity to grow. They can certainly help their loved ones, but not by letting them stay like that forever. Everyone must learn new things, update themselves, and evolve] [To calm them all, Lotus starts telling them about the great shishya of DATTATREYA SWAMY, a great king, Kartavirya Arjuna] [Lotus tells them the Purana story of Kartavirya Arjuna to divert them from leaving her chamber] [Lotus didn't want her determined children to rush to their dad and ask permission to get trained by Mahindra Giri's commander, as Ram was crying in Angel's chamber with his other queens for sending Barfi away] [Lotus didn't want her children to see their dad cry, hence she stopped them there by telling the Purana story] [Lotus predicted it all beforehand, that the children would rush to her after seeing Barfi leave crying. Moreover, Lotus didn't have the heart to see her man crying, hence Lotus was waiting for her children in her chamber instead of consoling her man, as she knew that Angel, Sunshine and Honey would take care of Ram] ----Meet you in the next deed, Guys
