35 years ago, in the Sal forest near Gorakh Darbar Jalandhar dacoit with his man's living there hiding from the bounty hunters and army, he was an infamous bandit, in many city's he looted many merchants and kills innocent people after hearing so much the king orders general to put a bounty on his head, after finding about the bounty on his head Jalandhar ran from the city and start hiding in the forest.
1 day Jalandhar subordinate heard the news about a big merchant moving his goods items from the city to another area but they have to go from the sal forest.
Jalandhar looked for this opportunity to expand his army and territory if he looted them,
2 days later the merchant came with his goods in 4 wagons, he also hired a mercenary group to protect him and his items.
Jalandhar and his group were waiting for them to trap them after they came into his area they throw rocks from the hill to block their path after that, they all go to attack the mercenaries, Jalandhar was a good fighter with his spear he kill most of the mercenaries, his man's also kill some mercenary but many of them also died.
after taking care of most mercenaries he goes straight for the mercenaries' leader to finish this fast and starts looting before someone else comes.
The mercenary leader was strong and his main weapon was Talwar, their fight took some time but at last, Jalandhar won the battle and killed the mercenary leader.
Later the merchant came out from his wagon and he was begging for his family's life, and after hearing that a person came out shouting from the wagon she was a merchant's beautiful young daughter.
Why are you begging our life father with these savage criminals they are like animals who don't know anything more than killing and looting.
Jalandhar saw her coming out from the wagon she is young 18 years old and beautiful She smells like a flower he was charmed by her beauty he has a love for her.
What is your name woman tell me I want to know.
She gets furious and starts shouting again.
Why should I tell my name to a savage criminal who only knows nothing more than hurting people?
after hearing what she said about him he laughed hard.
Tell me your name now or your father will be dead because of your Ego you women.
Jalandhar drew his khukuri and then put it into the merchant head.
Her expression has changed now because her father lives in her hand so she tells her name.
My name is mina now please put down your weapon and let my father live.
Jalandhar smiles and replies to her
If you think we are savage criminals then I will show you what real savagery looks like.
Jalandhar cuts her father's head in front of her, she cries in her father's body later she gets angry and curses him,
One day you will die because of your greed you will die while fighting when you try to loot others nobody will help you that is my curse on you.
Hahahaha hahaha
Jalandhar laugh
If someone wants to kill me he has to be stronger than me and if you want to kill me you will get your chance but now you are my woman you are mine now I will make you my queen if you do whatever I say.
No, I will not I will rather die before I become your plaything.
She drew her knife from her clothes, then tried to kill herself but Jalandhar caught her hand and threw the knife Tie her hand then picked her up on his shoulder.
Your life is also in my hand you can't die until I tell you.
My man, I take her to my camp you guys take care of dead bodies and take everything you see in those wagons we can use it or sell those later.
Jalandhar takes her to his tent he treats her differently than other women's, he gives her everything to satisfy her but she didn't take anything he wants her to love her so she can also love him if he wants he can rape her and make her his plaything but he wants different from mina.
He knew he should not have killed her father so she doesn't hate her,
week later
he got frustrated not getting love from mina, he got angry and rape her on that night so she can bear her child.
1 year later when she was giving birth she was so in pain when she finally gave birth she lost too much blood because of childbirth she almost died but somehow other women saved her life then she fainted.
The child was full of blood, his whole body looked red because of so much blood.
Jalandhar came to see his son but after seeing blood he laughed and smiled and gave gold to women who helped mina.
The boy was crying the moment he came outside from his mother's womb Jalandhar saw his son's whole body was blood At that moment he said.
My son got blood all over his body and looked like he bathed in blood because of that I named him rakta dacoit.
Jalandhar pickup rakta and then went outside to show his men, his gang members become happy after seeing it was a son, Jalandhar give a party to all his members that night he also give gold silver, and jewelers to his men and women's that help her mistress to give birth his son.
1 week later
mina woke up slowly from her deep sleep she was still feeling some pain after childbirth, She asks other women who are taking care of her.
What happened to my child?
After hearing that women replay
your child was born healthy when he was born he was crying too loud.
After hearing that her expression changed she was making a sad face.
Mina speak briefly
if only that child wasn't born.
Don't you want to see your child?
Mina replied
I don't want to see that child it's not my child it's that savage child, I don't want to raise that child, but I have to live my life so I can see Jalandhar dead.
What is your name did you help me while I am sick?
Women replied
Yes, I was taking care of you and your son for a week my name is sarita.
After waking up she never goes out of her tent only sometimes when she wants.
8 years later rakta became a little older boy He played with his father and with other kids but then went to meet her mother he hesitated to go, so he watch his mother from a little far away. She also sees rakta but doesn't speak with him.
2 years ago when he suddenly went to meet his mother at night to sleep with her.
He sneaks into bed to sleep but after finding out she becomes angry and throws him from the bed she hits him many times while saying how much she hates Rakta.
Because of you, I have to endure so much pain, I almost died giving birth to you. I wish you were never born from me.
Why don't you just die my son?
She starts choking rakta neck, he begs his mother not to kill him, she saw rakta face, her whole body was shaking she lets go of her hand while crying.
she left that tent and went outside.
Rakta was coughing He got out of the tent and went to the hillside. He cried all night thinking about why his mother hated her this much.
Sarita came to the tent while searching for rakta she didn't find him and she start thinking later she went to the hillside.
She is the only one who is always with rakta from the moment he was born, she always takes care of Rakta.
Sarita shouts to rakta
Rakta sees Sarita run towards her and hugs her while crying.
Aunt Sarita why did my mother hate me so much, I didn't do anything but she don't talk with me, don't play with me she even doesn't want to be near me, what did I do wrong?
Sarita replied
You didn't do anything but your mother is not herself after you were born, but don't cry she will soon be fine and be with you just have to wait.
After hearing that rakta expression changed he smiled.
Ok, I wait for her but I think you are more like a mother to me than my actual mother all these years you are the only one who takes care of me, and my real mother who never likes me can I call you mother?
After hearing what rakta says she cries with a smile yes you can call me whatever you want my son.
The next day Rakta asked his father why his mother hate him.
Jalandhar says it is a complicated thing with me and your mother you don't understand now but you will understand when you become an adult, he didn't tell rakta everything and left rakta alone. Rakta gets upset just thinking why.
2 months later in the kurilo forest winter
Rakta you are still weaker than other kids even after training for almost a year, I know you are so kind to other people and animals, but keep this mind only the strong live in this world, and the weak die or become prey to someone.
I am teaching you how to hunt but even now you miss your target that deer just runs away because of you.
I am sorry father rakta replied
what are you doing you never kill any animals in all these years even when fighting with other kids you always lose.
if this is going to happen again I have to do the hard way for you to become strong.
Jalandhar left rakta alone and went for a few minutes some minutes later he came back with 2 rabbits in his hand.
Now your test begins look how I kill this rabbit like this.
Jalandhar picks one rabbit in his hand and puts another in his foot He slices the rabbit's throat first slowly then cuts off his head.
Rakta sees the head of a rabbit near him and vomits on the ground.
Now your turn son show me you are my son, not just some weak boy.
Jalandhar gave his khukuri to rakta.
rakta whole body was shaking.
Jalandhar picked up the rabbit that was under his foot.
Rakta put khukuri on the rabbit's shoulder but couldn't move his hand farther, Jalandhar got angry after seeing that he put his hand on the rakta and cut the rabbit's head using his hand.
Jalandhar punched rakta, and rakta was on the ground and vomited.
That is your punishment for not listening and hesitating when I tell you to do so.
You are still not ready but you will be soon, there is another thing I want to do near the village where we keep those weak villagers.
Next day in kurilo village
Jalandhar came with his few men and son outside in the village.
All of you villagers come outside now if you guys don't want to die by my hand.
Jalandhar shouted very loudly after hearing all of the villagers come outside from their house.
All the village people gathered in 1 group and the village chief also came out from that group.
What do you want from us we already give you everything you ask and you already beat many village people and take our girls, you already torment us for a month. What do you want more?
Hahaha you people are weak and you guys our prey if you think you can beat us then become strong, but you guys can't, and as you can see even your kingdom army didn't come to help your village because they don't care about some villagers.
Anyway, let's get to the main point this is my son I want some of your boys who are around my son's age to fight, the rule is simple until the loser doesn't give up a fight will not end.
if your kids win you will not see my gang for a month and we will not take anything if my son wins it's just training for him we do nothing for a week only that is my promise to you people.
if one of my men does anything I will kill him myself that is my promise to you so shall we start?
Rakta was getting nervous.
Father is this what you mean the hard way I know you want to make me stronger but I don't know if I can win.
Jalandhar smiled and put his hand on his son's shoulder.
Son if you did not win this fight I will give you a more brutal punishment than that punch if you don't want to feel my anger you have to win.
After hearing from his father, rakta expression changed, he didn't want to fight but he also doesn't want his father's wrath again.
the village people send one of the strong boy who always does hard work He is the same age as rakta but looks more strong.
The fight start
Rakta start throwing punches right and left he hit the other boy but his punches were not powerful, the boy smiled and started kicking rakta leg and then punching rakta face, rakta couldn't react and only use his hand to block but couldn't block all of the boy punch after getting hit many punches on face rakta faint suddenly.
Jalandhar was full of anger after seeing rakta getting faint even after giving him a warning.
Village people rejoice but are also not happy to see kids fight this brutality.
Ok, you villagers win we will not do anything for 1 month, but the fight will happen again so be prepared.
Jalandhar was so angry he wanted to beat rakta there but he controlled his anger and told his man to pick up his son and they went to their camp.
A few hours later rakta woke up and saw Sarita his foster mother in front of him she was taking care of him.
You wake up rakta how do you feel now?
I am fine, Rakta starts thinking about what his father said to him now his whole body shivers, and he starts asking for help from Sarita.
Please help me mother I don't want to be beaten by my father, while Rakta speaking to Sarita, Jalandhar came to the tent where rakta was resting in his bed.
Sarita saw Jalandhar's angry face She standup.
Jalandhar says
Sarita you get out from this tent now I have some business with my son.
Please just this time can you please forgive the rakta he is still learning about you and himself and the world, he is still a boy.
I know you don't have any children, and because of that you love rakta when he was born you take care of him more than his real mother, but this is the promise we make between men if he doesn't understand that he will never become strong.
Get out of here right now or you will also feel my wrath, Sarita expression also changes after what Jalandhar said to her.
But she still tries to protect Rakta She stands up in front and blocks Jalandhar's way, He slaps her and she falls to the ground, Jalandhar calls his man and they take her out of the tent.
Now, son you have to take the punishment for losing the fight, I don't want a weak son who can't even beat that weak boy who only knows work nothing more.
For a month every day 1-hour rakta gets beaten by his father, Jalandhar reminds him he has to become strong and win the upcoming fight.
1 month later
In the morning Jalandhar, Rakta, and his men go back to the village.
Outside of the village, Jalandhar shouts again.
all of the villagers come outside from their homes.
They also prepare the previous boy who wins the match with rakta.
Both of them prepare to fight, the boy was looking to rakta he sees rakta has bruises all over his body.
The village boy smiles
I think I am going to win this match again because you got some injury, no hard feelings but it all happens because of your father.
The boy starts throwing his punches and kicks at rakta, all of his attacks were hitting rakta but he just doesn't feel anything from those hits after getting bitten down every day by his father.
The boy tries everything on Rakta but the boy feels he is hitting a tree that doesn't move, rakta sees the boy getting fear of him, then rakta first kicks the boy leg to unbalance him.
The boy falls onto the ground rakta takes that opportunity and jumps on his body and starts hitting on his face, the boy tries blocking with his hand but rakta non-stop punches the boy hand, boy can't feel his hand he removed his hand.
Because of you, I get punished by my father every day, if only you let me win a month ago this will never happen.
While saying that rakta was punching the boy's face too much it looked recognizable, the boy tapped the ground saying give up.
Rakta was in rage mode he didn't hear anything he only punched the boy without stopping.
The villagers saw the boy give up but rakta didn't stop punching the boy and Jalandhar didn't stop the fight.
The boy's mother and father were shouting at Jalandhar and begging him to stop the fight but he didn't listen.
The boy's mother suddenly ran toward the rakta and pushed him to another side, the mother was crying and lifting the boy he was already dead because of blood loss and brain damage.
The boy's mother starts shouting while glaring at rakta.
You are a savage monster just like your father, didn't you hear my son tap on the ground and say he give up because he can't speak while you're punching him?
Rakta didn't know because he was in a rage He looked at his hand It was all bloody, his whole body was shivering because this was the first time he killed someone.
Rakta didn't know what expression he was making because he was mixed feeling right now, he looked toward his father.
Jalandhar was happy that his son finally won the watch.
Hahahaha now this is a match I was looking forward to watch son you did it, you win your first match and kill your opponent.
This is how you will become strong in this world.
The boy's mother tries to kill rakta with her hand but the Jalandhar men take her away and throw her on the ground.
After seeing someone's mother trying to kill him and he killed her son he got shock and fainted on the ground.
Rakta slowly wakes up He looks everywhere. All of his surroundings are dark He sees the boy when he looks at him the blood comes out of his body and covers his whole body.
Why, why did you kill me I was only trying to save my village from your father.
Rakta close his eyes when he opened them and look everywhere the boy was not there, suddenly 2 hands came out of nowhere Those hands were choking on his neck while rakta was struggling suddenly he fell to the ground.
Why did you kill my son what he did do to you, if only you weren't born those fights wouldn't happen, you are a cursed boy.
Rakta suddenly wakes up from his bed and falls to the ground his whole body was shivering.
Sarita lifts him and hugs him.
Thank you gods for healing rakta
Sarita was crying while hugging rakta.
Mother Sarita, how many hours has it been?
No son it's not hours you wake up after 1 day.
Jalandhar came to see rakta
how do you feel son I know it is not a good feeling but you will get used to it as the days goes by I am proud of you son but if you have to do everything as I told you if not you know what happen.
Rakta was happy because this was the first time his father praised him, He smiled but he was also crying he didn't know what was happening but he didn't care.
At night he goes to sleep but he sees those dreams again and wakes up again, From that day his nightmare begins every time he tries to sleep he is haunted by those same dreams.
From that onward, rakta did everything his father told him but he didn't want to kill others because of his nightmare, after hearing that he got beaten again many times, he said I will not kill another man until I will be in great danger but I will do other things you say father.
Rakta even gets beaten by his father He wants to get praise from his father for his unnatural behavior.
Jalandhar starts thinking about getting an idea in his mind.
Rakta I want you to torture some of those villagers who are revolt seeking us.
Rakta think it's better than killing the people but he didn't know that torture is much more painful than killing the people.
2 days later
Jalandhar man got news of some big merchant transferring many gold coins in wagons but it was heavily guarded with more than 35 strong soldiers and 1 general, he was a noble merchant from Ayasdvipa KINGDOM who was going to GORAKH KINGDOM for making good relationship with the king for business.
Jalandhar discusses with his group and makes plans they all start collecting big rocks and cleaning and sharpening their weapons.
2 days later in the morning all of Jalandhar's group gathers after finishing their plan and talking they pick up tools and weapons and go to near the hills when Jalandhar was going rakta asks.
please take me with you father I wanna see you in battle I know you kill people for a living, father but I never see you fight seriously Every person in our group says you are the strongest and you have always had a plan that how you become a leader.
After talking too much Jalandhar agrees with rakta.
Ok you win son but you don't go near where the fight starts ok for your protection I send 2 guys so you have to be on their side always and never leave them ok, he agrees with his father and he goes near the cliff.
That merchant comes with Those 55 soldiers and 1 Commander with 3 wagons when they come close, Jalandhar man throws rocks on both sides to block their escape route.
Ok, guys let's go let's kill them and loot everything from them now.
It's an ambush soldiers take your position and make formation don't break your position they are just bandits nothing more who only know killing and looting kill them all.
Both sides start fighting Jalandhar kill many soldiers, but his men are dying more than the soldiers they are trained soldiers and keep their formation because of that it is hard to kill them, and Jalandhar's men are dead.
Jalandhar gets angry and jumps on the soldiers then breaks the formation using his spear skill He knows he cannot win this fight if he just kills the soldiers, so he goes for Commander's head.
The commander of the soldiers good with his talwar while riding the horse he also kills man Jalandhar man's like they are nothing to him, he sees Jalandhar coming on his way he also gets bored with bandits he wants their leader so he knows how skillful fighter he is, he came down from his horse while attacking Jalandhar men.
Jalandhar attacks with his thrusting spear skill, and the commander dodges, and blocks all those attacks like nothing their fight becomes insane others leave their side so they don't get caught in their fight.
20 minutes later they are still fighting but the commander was getting the upper hand with his skill in talwar, Jalandhar use every skill he knew but Commander was dodging and blocking Al of his attack but when the captain attack he cannot block all of his attacks then get Minor injury and scratch from his attacks.
Jalandhar sees a chance to kill Commander he use his last move barrage of thrust but the captain dodge all his attack and get near him the thrust his talwar into Jalandhar body and he wins.
Rakta sees his father getting killed and starts crying He wants to go to his father's side but his guard didn't let him because it was their leader's orders so they obey his order, rakta didn't wanna go with his guards but the guards didn't have a choice so they hit his vital point in the neck to make him sleep then they left that side and goes for their camp to tell others.
Commander kills Jalandhar, bandits see their leaders get killed, some bandits run away others surrender to soldiers, Commander orders his soldiers to capture the remaining bandits who run away.
Commander shouts at bandits
I killed your leader already so just tell me about your group and your camps then I will let you guys go, if you don't tell me anything everyone is going to die now, and nobody care because u guys are just bandits people will get happier if we kill u all here. But I think u guys want to live so what is it gonna be?
After hearing that nobody responds everyone is ready to die, Commander understands even though they are bandits they are loyal to their members, when the Commander order to kill them 1 man stand up and tell Commander about their hideout because he doesn't wanna die.
other bandits get angry after hearing he is betraying the members and the leader order, they try to kill him but the soldiers separate them, he tells everything to Commander how many other members in that camp are hostages and slaves after hearing that Commander release him because he is a man of his word but others didn't say anything so he gives the order to kill them all.
Commander and his soldiers go to the bandit hideout and kill the remaining bandits in camp, they save slaves, hostages free them, mina came out from her tent and tells the captain to save her from the bandit leader Jalandhar, captain tells everything to mina, and to others, she smiles and laughs.
I am finally free from that savage hands, now I can go to my home to see my mother but what can I say to my mother, where I was all these 9 years and if they don't accept me, where should I go now.
Commander was charmed by mina beauty and looks she was still young and beautiful only 26 years old in his eye, she was thinking too much but the captain told her that he will take care of her in his kingdom, she was happy after hearing that, captain offer her his hand to mount in his horse she accepted him then climb on a horse.
Rakta bodyguard was fighting with soldiers, that time he sneak out from them to see his foster mother but he didn't find her, but he saw the Commander who kill his father, and now he thinks that Commander taking his real mother from him she was in danger he thought, so he looks around for a weapon and pick up the knife.
He ran to the Commander and jumped to stab him from behind to free his mother, but the captain saw that and caught him with his hand, he saw that the child was angry and crying and wanted to kill him.
He doesn't understand why a little boy wants to kill him, he throws him on the ground and asks who are you boy and why you wanna kill me?
Mina saw Rakta on the ground but didn't say anything just ignore him and watch.
You kill my father in a fight now you are kidnapping my mother that is why I want to kill you.
Who is your father boy, I kill many bandits so I don't know but they all deserve to die because they hurt people for their own benefit like your mother did you ever ask her was she happy, she is the one who wants to go with me I didn't force her I just give her my hand she just accepts that.
Rakta thinks about what Commander said but he disagrees with him and starts arguing with him, mina becomes angry and says it to Rakta.
I did give birth to you but I never think as you are my son only that Sarita thinks of you as her son.
I was forced to give birth to you and become your mother, I didn't want to raise you but somebody has to take care of you because of that I was forced to take care of you for a year I never like you or love you before not even now, Commander let's get out this place I don't want your hand has a child blood, I don't wanna see this boy face anymore.
The commander turns around his horse and goes in the direction where his soldiers are after freeing everyone everybody goes to the road.
Rakta just sat there he was in shock after hearing from his mother what she said about him, and after finding out that she never cared for him, he didn't understand why his real mother never liked him, why his father didn't tell him about his mother relationship, now all his family is gone his father dead, his mother left him, he didn't find his foster mother sarita there, he didn't know what to do, his whole world just collapses in front of him.
1 day later
Rakta collects many kinds of wood first then all of his members'dead bodies It takes all day to collect dead bodies and gather in one place then he burns them.
Late at night he makes a bone fire and stays there thinking about himself.
I don't know what to do now, some of the people I know are dead or left me should I too die because what is there for me to live?
My mother left me with the man who killed my father, I can't find Sarita I think she also runs away with those army men, because the people I know are all bandits She must be was capture by them, at least she will be happy now I think.
Rakta cry while smiling again because he doesn't have anything or anyone to call, he never was alone in his life so he got scare sometimes at night, and he was smiling because at least his Mother will be happy now with that man, and his foster mother while thinking he sleeps.
Next day
He wakes up because of the animals' noise he sees wild dogs group eating the soldiers' bodies he left. He picks up his knife to protect himself.
