Epi begins with Ashoka hearing the sound of anklets and turns. A girl comes forward (her face is covered by smoke and darkness). Ashoka asks her (thinking her to be Kaurvaki). Is what I am seeing right? You came here for me? Devi steps forward in light and is teary eyed. How could I not come? You are my husband after all. Thank God you are safe. He says yes, I am perfectly alright.

You shouldn’t have come here. Why are you here? She asks him if he feels she has just come here. I was all the time with you only. I kept praying for you. I have touched, have felts your every wound. I feel your every pain. Ashoka thinks he was mistaken. Not Kaurvaki but Devi saved my life. He says even Yamraj gets disappointed when wife is with husband. Devi happily hugs him but he does not reciprocate.
She apologizes to him. I got emotional. I shouldn’t have forgotten my limits. He feels bad for not having done anything till date which was good for her. I feel bad. You have always been through pain because of me. Forgive me if possible. She asks him what he is saying. He tells her to wipe her tears. You are all wet. I am sorry I dint notice earlier. Wipe yourself and change. She sneezes. He goes out so she can change.
Kaurvaki walks through the muddy route in rain somehow.
Devi puts a cloth between Ashoka and her. Ashoka lights some wood to keep them warm. She comes out wearing a light piece of cloth without ornaments. They both look at each other awkwardly. She trips and he holds her in time. They have an eye lock.
The rope breaks somehow and Sushim falls down from the ceiling.
Devi gets all shy and conscious. I am Ashoka’s wife. Why am I so hesitant to be near him? Ashoka too is thinking of the same. Devi is my mother. I promised Ma. Lightning strikes. Devi says maybe rain wont stop today. She peeks at him. He suggests resting here only for the night. You can sleep there while I will rest here. Devi is clearing the space when her hand gets hurt by a thorn. Ashoka helps her. Devi is all teary eyed to see his concern. He hugs her. She keeps her hand on his wound by mistake and he winces in pain. They hug again taking care of the wound. Kaurvaki witnesses it and drops the water pot in shock. Ashoka pushes the hair locks off Devi’s face. Kaurvaki remembers Ashoka and Devi’s marriage and of his words back then. what was I going to do? Ashoka is Devi’s husband now. You were trying to come in between a married couple? This is a big sin in the eyes of society, dharma and people. Ashoka and Devi sit down closely holding hands. Kaurvaki decides to leave before something goes wrong.
It is raining. Kaurvaki walks in the jungle recalling all her past memories with Ashoka. She starts running in anguish / pain and screams Ashoka loud. She falls unconscious.
Next morning, Ashoka wakes up with the sound of Devi’s anklets. She applies lep on his wound and covers it with a cloth. Ashoka does not look at her at all. Devi’s headband comes off while she is applying lep. Ashoka keeps it back on her hand without even looking at her. She feels bad. You can share your worry with me. Ashoka gets up and turns his back to her. Pardon me. I thought of Kaurvaki. When you were applying lep on my wound I felt that it wasn’t you but Kaurvaki. This isn’t about now but I felt this always. It has always been proved true.
Charu coughs blood again. She hurts her foot while she tries to do anything. She imagines hurting herself with the knife accidentally but it all seems to her imagination. A black shadow can be seen on the curtain. It stretches its hand towards Charu but she begs the shadow to give her some time. My son needs me. everyone thinks he is dead. I know it isn’t true. He is in some problem. I have to be with him. I wont give up my life till the time I don’t succeed and my motive is accomplished!
Devi says your feeling might be true. I hid one secret from you after Kaki’s death. I went to meet Kaurvaki when you were here. It was important for her to know truth. A flashback shows Devi meeting Kaurvaki. Truth can never change. It isn’t anyone but your father who separated you and Ashoka. Kaki was helpless before the prophecy. Your father also played his game. He asked for Magadh in exchange of this wedding. He knew Ashoka will break his wedding when he will come to know the truth. It overruled love. Flashback ends. Ashoka says it means it was Kaurvaki only. I will have to go to look for her. She might not have gone too far. I don’t have time to think why and for whom she took this decision. I should go. I cannot see her in pain. He walks over her fallen ornament. Devi picks it up. Everything can be finished but not true love. Ashoka loves Kaurvaki for real, not me.
Jagannath orders his soldiers not to fail. He hears someone calling out for Kaurvaki.
Ashoka shouts Kaurvaki repeatedly in jungle. She wakes up with a start. How did he come to know I am here? I cannot let him find me or I wont be able to control myself. She hides right away and peeks at him from behind a tree. I wont let you find me ever. You will never be able to see me. Never! Ashoka continues his search for Kaurvaki. She watches him teary eyed. Ashoka screams her name in pain. Jagannath and Kewalnath see him too. Jagannath says that Daasi Putra!
Ashoka says I am tired of this game of getting you and losing you Kaurvaki. When I lost you for the first time, I accepted it that our story reached its climax. It was you who started to look for me once again. You left your home behind and gave up your identity. Something was stopping me from coming before you. Something was making me feel I would hurt you but only your strong will and our love kept us together. When everything was going to fall in place for us, your father again played the same game. He asked me to choose between my mother and motherland. You know when my heart broke? You dint even look back once while leaving. Ironically, I cannot even blame you for supporting your father. It is the duty of every kid to support his or her parents.
Jagannath and Kewalnath
are looking for Kaurvaki.
Ashoka says I am strong yet I am all alone now. I cannot understand who to talk to, who to ask what I should do. On one side there is Devi who continues to make sacrifices for me time and again. On the other hand it is me. I left her alone for you. I don’t know how to get out of this without hurting anyone. I know you are here only and you can hear me. Guide me as to how should I come out of this situation. Guide me. Kaurvaki thinks she has learnt it from him only. I wont want you to give up on your missions for me. It will be good if you forget me. It will be right for you, for motherland and for your wife. Ashoka says you not saying anything is a hint for me. You have chosen to leave your Ashoka for forever. Kaurvaki is in tears. Ashoka gets up. He turns and comes face to face with Devi.
Jagannath signals his soldiers not to shoot Ashoka.
Devi says I tried a lot to stop myself but I couldn’t. I came after you. I know Kaurvaki does not wish to meet you so you can achieve your dream of United India. It will be a tribute to your mother. Ashoka leaves from there without a word. Devi follows him. Kaurvaki comes out of her hiding place and cries.
Kaurvaki comes near gorge. It is impossible to live with you and so is to live without you. Death is the only option for me so there is no hope or expectation to meet you again. I don’t want you to spend your entire life with a wish to meet me. Build the United India that your mother and Guru have dreamt of.
Ashoka feels weird. He turns but cannot see Kaurvaki. I couldn’t reach her but my prayers can. I pray she gets strength to always do the right thing.
Kaurvaki suddenly realises what she was going to do. She takes a step back. What was I going to do? I cannot be this weak! I have learnt it from childhood that one should never give up in the face of any sort of difficulties. I cannot run from life. I am the daughter of Kalinga’s king. I don’t know what I should and can do. She breaks down. Jagannath comes there. She hugs her father. I cannot understand what I am doing. I don’t know if I am right or wrong anymore. I am at that point of life where I have no control over anything, not even myself. I was going to commit suicide. I know I shouldn’t do this. Why should I live though? He shares how he thought his death is certain when he was in Kichak’s jail. My responsibilities, memories of my beloved daughter motivated me to live. I saw how strong you were when you crossed ocean to rescue me. I was assured that I would have done something good in life because of which I got a daughter like you. They share another emotional hug. Jagannath says I still remember the time when I first fed food to you with my own hands. Every father has some expectations from his kids. I too had many but you fell in that Daasi putra’s love when it was time for you to live up to it. I tried to explain it but you forgot everyone in your madness, including me. citizens are also kids of a King. How could I be so selfish that I would hurt my so many kids for my one kid? How could I put their lives in risk? In your madness for Ashoka you forgot that the blood in your veins is of Kalinga, which values its reputation. You are the daughter of Kalinga which is proud of its identity. She is getting suffocated because of his extremely tight hug. Jagannath continues talking. It isn’t easy to take difficult decisions at times. I would not have to see this day if I had taken the right decision on time. She shouts father but he keeps talking. At times we have to do what does not make us feel bad, as we know no one else can do that for us. She shouts she is unable to breathe. He lets go of her. She breathes heavily. He says I have to end what you started. I want whatever happens from now onwards with you is good. Where you are today is neither good for us nor for Kalinga. He cups her face angrily / forcibly. You will have to go so no harm comes to my respect and dignity. He pushes her down the gorge. Kaurvaki shouts Ashoka’s name while falling.
Ashoka and Devi return to the same cave. He holds KAurvaki’s dupatta emotionally. Devi can see his pain of not being able to find Kaurvaki. I should help him come out of it but why am I unable to do it. I was the one who wanted to bring them close. How did my thinking change by only spending one night with him? Why do my promises seem hollow now? My selfishness is making me weak. Am I doing the right thing by keeping Ashoka away from his biggest strength? Ashoka suggests returning to Patliputra. She nods. Everyone is waiting for you there to celebrate your latest victory.
Acharya RG does Siamak’s last rites along with other martyr soldiers. Acharya RG advises soldiers to pour Siamak’s ashes with all due respect. It is Ashoka’s order. A soldier asks him why he is upset. For whom? He was a traitor, right? Acharya RG speaks of how weird life is. I have seen all three kids of Samrat growing up. Not birth but upbringing nurtures a person in a right or wrong manner. Samrat never discriminated between any of his kids yet one kid supported dharma and other supported adharma. The one supporting dharma won. This unjust child dies. Every kid of this royal family is very strong and powerful. If they were not enemies of each other then this family would have been too strong to defeat in today’s date. No one can even imagine it. It wasn’t his age to die. Who knows he would have become the Samrat of Magadh one day, but the way he chose was wrong. His end was certain. Charu hears his last few lines and gets shocked. No! My son cannot die! How dare you set him on fire? She tries to go near the pyre but Acharya RG pulls her aside. She asks him to let go of her. My son cannot die. He tells her it isn’t Sushim but Siamak. She demands to know what Ashoka did to Sushim. Acharya RG explains that not Ashoka but Siamak killed Sushim. His body has not been found. Charu refuses to believe it. My son has immense powers. He cannot die. No sword can kill him. He advises her to look on her own then. I would still say it will be useless. She asks him if this is why he dint look for her son. A mother will still go looking for her son.
Ashoka prays to Ma to guide him. Devi also prays to have enough strength so she can follow her dharma. Ashoka and Devi turn. Jagannath points his sword at Ashoka. Ashoka asks him what he wants from him now. Jagannath says what you can give me. You even snatched my only daughter from me for forever. Ashoka and Devi are stunned. Ashoka asks him what happened to Kaurvaki. Jagannath says it is ironic. You will celebrate your victory and I will mourn my daughter’s death. You are the reason of her death!
Ashoka shakes his head. It cannot be! Jagannath says this is what happened. She jumped in gorge. She committed suicide. Keep visiting blastersseries.com for fastest updates.
