Bab 44: Chapter 4- Pursuit and Regret
Chapter 4
There was a Bullock cart slowly moving on road. Cart was followed by group of people who was
guarding the cart. Cart was constructed in some luxurious scale. Inside the
cart there was a young girl who looking at outside with excited eyes. Near to
the young girl there was elderly woman was looking at her carefully.
"Lady we are near to Kalamalgama. Are you really not going to cousin's
place?" elder woman asked.
"No nanny, I am not going?" young girl said
in resolute voice.
"Why is that? Isn't your cousin given help
to you most help to come again here? Aren't you should thank him for his help?
Why are you behaving like ungrateful person?" nanny asked young girl who was returning,
lady Miththa with some hurt.
"I am not ungrateful person. I know brother
Anjana was done many things for me. When I was living Kalyani he always
searched my status. He always requests forgiveness from my brother for my sake.
If not him, how could I return here this quick? But I know brother Anjana has
feelings for me. So, it is not good for me to go there and greet him. If I went
there, it may raise hopes of his feelings for me. So, not visiting there is the
best way to express gratitude to me and it is the best way to give my explanation
from me to him" Miththa said with concerned eyes.
"Hmm… is that what you thinking, I think it
is the right decision you are taking. It is good to leave short-term sadness
rather than long-term regret. But maybe your cousin may not stop his attempt
" the nanny said to Miththa. At
the same time the horse steps with sound was heard rapidly and from the sound,
it was getting near to them second after second. Bodyguards who followed
Mithths' cart
started to take weapons to protect their lady.
It
was not too long time that King Vasambha came to rule the country. He created a
stable situation overall
but there are still some unrested places in the country that remain. Especially
bandit groups still actively doing their work over the country. These groups were
targeted escort groups who do transactions all over the country by selling
goods and wealthy people who walk on the road from one place to another. They
catch up people and steal money and goods from them. Sometimes they were
killing people to remove traces of them. Sometimes royal court sent troops to
eradicate these groups but it did not become totally successes attempt. So,
people were tend to take bodyguards to protect themselves on journeys. Even there were protection teams that given
service of protection by escorting people and goods on money.
After
some tine guards were seen five people who came on the backs of horses. They were
running directly their side with high speed. After was seeing this one guard said
" Please stop. Who are you? Don't ask forgiveness if something happened "
and took his sword and raised at people who was coming to their side.
"Woow…stop…stop…we
are not bandits. We are from lord Mahanamas'
side. " one man said while was controlling
his horse.
"
Oh! this is from lord Mahanama side. Please welcome "
guards said and they took back their weapons to their side after identifying people who came
to their entourage . Then horsemen got down from horses and came to side of cart
which Miththa is traveling .
"
Is cousin not going to meet me?" Among the group of horsemen came to forward and asked from the people inside
of cart. This man was seems to be at mid twenties and had handsome features . He
was shown pleasant expression while shown deep expectation in his eyes. It was seemed
that he is waiting for something , especially from people in cart.
After
some seconds " Cousin Anjana, it is nice to meet you. You came here by covering
long distance .Sorry for making trouble for you" Miththa said to young man
. After was hearing that young nan, Anjana made a helpless smile and said " Cousin it is not a problem. You are going
to home after long time. How could I not come and take you there" Anjana said to Miththa.
"
How could I trouble you for that? Isn't we are wasting time of cousin Anjana?" Miththa said while coming down from cart. While
looking at Miththa descending from cart Anjana laughed at her.
"
Why are you laughing ?" Miththa asked.
"
Cousin still as same like in those days. Always making me unable to answer. However,
I have to tell you that it is never a problem for me to take care you. I always
enjoy that" Anjana said in smiling face. Miththa looked at Anjana but she felt
pity about him.
"
Cousin brother , is all well in your house?" Miththa asked after some time.
"
Yes, all is well. Father is always remembering you. Do you like to go there?
There are many new things. You surely like those things" Anjana said with great
expectation.
"No
cousin, I should go home. I miss my brother. So, let's talk about it another time.
" Miththa said.
After
hearing that Anjana knew he lost in his attempt. He felt some pain in his heart
but he kept hiding it well and asked " Okay. So, what are you going to do now?"
