After Khalid left, Maya stood near the thorny bush for some time, the thorns that pulled her legs and took them to Khalid's hands.
For him, there were no less than fragrant flowers.
She was imagining those few moments, when Khalid was so close to her.
His words were echoing in his ears.
She was taking sips of poison and honey from her throat one after another.
His heart was a battlefield of conflicting thoughts about Khalid.
They also thought of him as an embodiment of anger and sometimes selfless love.
After standing there for a while, she began to feel an unbearable burden on her heart and walked towards the river avoiding the trees and bushes in the moonlight. A boat was standing on the bank of the river. The boat that had brought him here from the sea, on which he had spoken to the stars of the sky.She sat at one end of the boat and hung his feet behind.
The waves of water were touching his feet. The sounds of jackals and wolves were heard in the nearby forest.
Maya asked her heart,
"If a wolf comes this way?"
And then she answered himself.
If the wolf comes,
I will try to run away,
I will get off the boat and stand in front of him, and then when he sees my body in the morning, what will be his condition?
He will say,
Maya!
Why did you come here, I used to joke with you,
I knew.
You are innocent.
Maya, forgive me.
I made a mistake in recognizing you.
No! No!
He might not say it.
He will says.She was crazy, She was crazy,
Yes! I am really crazy.
There is no place for me in his heart.
My foot was getting rid of thorns and I was thinking that I got the kingdom of the world.
I was building sand houses on the river bank. Her heart is made of stone.
He is cruel.
He doesn't trust anyone, because my brother treated them very badly.
I wish! He was not my brother.
I wish! He would have told me on the ship that he was going to cheat with them and I would not have seen Khalid quietly.
Now they are going to send me to my brother, but if this was his fate,
Why did nature send me to his ship?
And then when we were about to part with Dabil,Why did nature bring us here?
Why did I continue to look at him with the eyes of love despite his hatred?
Why did I stand in the darkness of despair and light the lamp of hope?
Yes, I was forced. . . . . I am still helpless. . None of mine. . . . I have none. . . . I have called upon my God, whom he worships five times a day, but nothing but tears and sighs for me. !
I wish I had never been born. .
I wish!
Let not the waves of the sea pity me.
Maya kept hiccups for a long time by supporting her head with her hands, someone placed a hand on her shoulder and called Maya,She let out a small scream.
She looked back.
Gungo was standing near him. He said daughter! you are afraid.
What are you doing here at this time?
She replied while shedding tears.
Nothing!
"You are crying.What has happened."
Maya remained silent.
Gungo asked again.
At this time, you don't feel afraid in such a quiet place.
Listen!!
The sounds of the wolf are coming from all around.
Come with me!
Maya said I want to ask you one thing. " What ? "
Have you really decided to send me to my brother?
Gungo replied.
I want to hear your verdict before I share mine.
"For God's sake don't put me near him!"
But why?
I don't want to go to my brother,Who did not keep my mother's milk lodge.
"Are you saying this from the heart or to make me?"
"I wish you could tear my heart out."
"But the reason for hating Jairam?"
I have heard about it from Khalid and now I have no doubts about his deception.
But is it not possible that we can free Zubair by handing you over to your brother?
If Jairam has cheated once, he will do the same again if he gets the chance.
In any case, he should not know that I am with you.
Otherwise he will not search the corner of the forest with the King(Raja)'s soldiers.
Naheed was not able to walk properly. It will be very difficult for you to protect it. Daughter!
Be calm.
Jairam, seeing you in my possession, all the tricks will be forgotten
I have found another safe place for Naheed if there is any concern from her side later.
So it means that if he handed over the prisoner to you, then you handed me over to him?
Daughter?
He is your brother,
Why are you afraid to go to him?
I have no one in the world, brother wanted to sacrifice me for his purpose and I came into your possession.
Now you want to send me back to him for your purpose calling me daughter.
Like my brother, your decision will also be the decree of fate for me.
I wish!
My destiny was in my hands.
I wish !
I have the right to find my own way in this world, but my likes and dislikes have no meaning.
Being me is equal to not being me.
Gungo said after some thought, if this matter is left to your choice,What will you do?
Maya answered with a bit of optimism,
I will prefer your imprisonment to freedom.
'"Why?"
I don't want to leave Naheed sick.
Maya!
I ask a question, tell the truth,
"You are in love with Khalid"
Maya rolled her eyes.
He said again.
Maya! Answer my question.
She said, "But why do you ask this?"
Because maybe by asking the answer to this question,
I can make a better decision for you.
I don't know what happened, but I just know that I can't live without them.
You also know that his doubts about you have not been cleared yet, his heart is harder than the rocks of the sea.
I have called you daughter.
From today your happiness will be my happiness and your sorrow will be my sorrow.
I don't want you to sacrifice everything in hopes of one day becoming yours.
He may not be convinced of your good intentions all his life.
You will have to make a big sacrifice to change his thoughts about you?
I am ready for any sacrifice, but I cannot bear to be separated forever.
You will not be bothered by the thought of your brother.
He was no longer my brother after eating the pieces of King (Raja).
I have no sympathy for him.
Gungo said, I want to bring it here in a way. Will not your heart break after seeing his face?
He has betrayed his benefactors.
If his punishment is left to you, how will you deal with him?
That's what should happen to a cheater, fraud and coward.
Gungo said,
Maya!
Give me a thoughtful answer.
This is a tough test.
Is it possible that I will make your brother stand in front of you and give the sword of justice in your hand?
I have thought.
I don't think he deserves mercy.
Gungo wanted to say something.
But Khalid's voice came from the bushes, Maya!
Maya!
Where are you ?
Gungo tells Maya that you hide in the boat and don't come out untilI call.
Maya obeyed his order without thinking.
Gungo got down from the boat and stood on the bank of the river.
Khalid called again, and he said,
"Khalid, I'm here?"
