Chapter 33 : The leader is Gone
Gaurav’s body is placed in the hall of his Unidentified place. Everyone gather around him except Vansh and Ridhimaa and Kaira
Kartik is sitting on the floor crying out loud
Kartik: Why? Why god? Why do you keep snatching away people from me?
Naira is also miserable.
Naira: They killed muma and papa right in front of my eyes. It was Gaurav ji who gave a meaning to my life, gave me Kartik now you have snatched him from me…..
Kartik: Neil….you scoundrel
Sirat and Ranveer come there
Sirat: Di Jiju its time for paying our respects to sir. Vansh and Ridhimaa are inconsolable too..only you can bring them. Please stay strong didi
Naira: Sirat how are you so strong?
Sirat: Dead cant be brought back didi..crying over them is waste on the other hand we have to live in a way they wanted us to. Its wise to respect him rather than mourning
Sirat’s words hit Ranveer. He remembers his lost love and how he wasted time mourning her till he realised that he had to live and fulfill her life and dreams which she left behind
Aman comes there
Aman: Kartik uto chalo…lets bring Vansh and Ridhimaa
Vansh is crying in a corner. Ridhimaa hugs him
Ridhimaa: Vansh…vansh….control yourself
Vansh: He died saving me Ridhimaa…..why did he?
Just then Kartik and Aman come there
Kartik: Because you have great things to do mate
Aman: Now come to pay your rights to sir
They take Vansh and Ridhimaa with them
Shivaay goes to Gaurav first
Shivaay: Sir..you…you gave me everything…my family an identity everything now I promise to kill that Neil and avenge you
He starts to weep . Pankhuri runs to him. He hugs her in a subconscious reflex
Pankhuri: We will avenge him Adi dont worry. Sir wont like you breaking down like this
She drags him away
Aman and Roshini go to Gaurav
Aman: Sir…I didn’t realise that when you said “sab chote bache hai they have an entire life ahead, Ill start the struggle and face the wrath” that you will leave us so soon. We miss you sir.
Roshini: We wished to lose none in this struggle but we lost our backbone
Maya and Chandrika and inconsolable. Avantika and Harish feel as if they lost a part of themselves . Even Meghnand is pale and sad. He leaves to Gaurav’s room where he spent most of the time with him.
Vansh walks to Gaurav
Vansh: Sir today I take a blood oath to avenge everyone who lost their life in this struggle. Ill put my soul into this and make sure that we don’t lose anyone else anymore
Kartik, Aman, Veer, Karan, Ranveer, Shivaay , Angre and Aryan join him in the oath
Meghnand: Its time guys take your wands and pay your respect
Aryan Ranveer Sia Ishani and Ridhimaa too get wands. Everyone raise their wand into the sky
Maya: Thereby we pay our respect to our leader
Light erupts from their wands making the room glow
Chandrika: With our leader gone we need our leader
Shivaay: Vansh is our leader
Vansh: Not at all..I may be capable to fight the Dark Lord and lead the struggle on war front I cant plan strategies. Its you who was with Gaurav ji for long. You know his plans. So Shivaay aka Aditya Sharma will be our leader
Shivaay: But
Vansh: Guys come on..Ill be war front leader but strategic leader will be Shivaay and he will replace Gaurav ji’s position
Veer: Vansh is right Shivaay. You have the capability for it
Maya: Yes Shivaay. You are meant to do this. Gaurav too would want it
Shivaay hugs Veer.
Shivaay: Sorry mate once I thought you bad and fought with you as Maya ji chose you for the mission
Veer: Thats because you are meant to do greater things than what I did.
Bani gets happy that her friend and husband are bonding again.
Aman: Now leader whats our plan next?
Shivaay grows serious and thinks hard. His face changes as he realises something
Harish: What happened Adi?
Shivaay: We have to conduct Vansh and Ridhimaa’s marriage soon
Karan: But the power..you said
Shivaay: Only half the power has come out that is the power to reach the Dark Power but not the other part
Vansh: How are you so sure?
Shivaay: Cant you guys see what I can?
Kartik: Tell us clearly na yaar
Shivaay: If the second power had come out ie., if Ridhimaa’s love protection to Vansh has come out too Gaurav ji would not have leapt in front of him during Mrityu Dansham. Ridhimaa loves him thats thy someone else gave their life to save Vansh…Gaurav ji wasn’t meant to be there with us by then the power brought him there and saved Vansh because rest of us weren’t near Vansh that moment only if he creates a relationship I mean the relationship by Indian ritual he can face any curse directly and not get harmed and that power is much needed during the struggle. Do you guys get it now
Vansh now realises it
Vansh: The same power took me to you guys..?
Shivaay: Exactly because its you who can reach the greatest Dark Powers as per the prophecy .
Aman: Oh I see but how did Neil know this and come there?
Shivaay: Haden of course
Meghnand just then comes there with a large letter
Meghnand: Everyone..attention please Sir has left a letter for you people. Guess he knew what will happen before he left for that work
Vansh: Read it na
Meghnand starts reading
Letter :
Dear everyone, I know you guys are mourning my death but today my death is inevitable, the one who started the war with Aeres potion has to die during Sunset if not the struggle will end in favour of the dark side. Thats why I didn’t leave anyone else to do that as you guys have greater roles to play
Everyone is shocked
Letter:
Shivaay…Adi….Aditya…I knew your secret from childhood..in fact the one who adopted you is my man, I only asked him to rename you because your safety was my priority. When Maya took you in she wanted you to take the role of Veer but its me who prevented her, but you got angry with everyone for that which again worked in our favour as you found your truth yourself without me telling it. You proved that you are a Sharma by working under the men of the people who wanted to wipe your family out of existence and saved your parents. What I never expected is your love for Bani and your heartbreak. But Adi your soulmate is right now with you dont leave her at any cost
Shivaay looks at Pankhuri and he nods
Letter:
Vansh..mera…Vansh….your thirst for Dark power was not wrong but I feared your beastly behaviour and thats when I brought the prophecy to you, you would ask me why didn’t I tell it directly but sometimes its better to know indirectly that directly. I know you love everyone and want to avenge your loved ones by destroying the Dark lord but the curse always worried me…I know you found a break..actually I knew it from the beginning but didn’t tell you because I wanted you to realise it. You may ask why this stone hearted behaviour but sometimes it is needed my boy. Now I repeat dont let your love blind you. Dont lose yourself in that. Love is a strength dont make it into a poison
And Ridhimaa beta…me and Meghnand have been watching you from childhood. You are the photocopy of Avantika. Be the same my dear. Love everyone open heartedly and get angry at the right place. Take care of Vansh because he will listen only to you. My hearty wishes for your wedding
Ridhimaa hugs Vansh and comforts him
Letter:
Roshini beta knowing the break for the curse I troubled you hoping for this end only and you proved that you are a great potion wizard by finding Aeres. My blessings to you. Aman you are a brave chap to bring the golden egg. Be with Vansh till the very end. And take care of Roshini she is a gem
Aman comforts Roshini as she breaks down
Letter:
Karan and Preeta thanks for helping me always. I want you to be there for everyone. And my blessings to your child. The child will be proud of its parents.
Bani and Veer what should I tell you other than sorry and thanks. You guys equally helped for Aeres potion and in killing Kabir.
Aryan beta be there for Ridhimaa like always. You are a pride to the Khundra clan. Angre my dear boy you are the best friend one can ever ask for. Stick to Vansh like this till the end. My blessings to you will always be there.
Sia and Ishani your mom will be happy to see her daughters grow up so well. You love Vansh and I know that and Sia beta you are matured enough to accept the truth so easily despite it hidden to you since long. I am so happy for that. Your love only kept Vansh a bit grounded till Ridhimaa’s arrival. I wish you both a very prosperous life.
Ranveer your love left you but this isn’t end of life. Love will bloom again and everything will happen good for you
Sirat beta I know you love Naira the most. But you will find the love of your life soon
Kartik…kartik..bacha,…I chose you for the potion task not because of the Goenka blood but because you are talented but your anger is your biggest enemy. Control your anger and you will get laurels. You too stick to Vansh till the very end. And Manish will be proud of you now
Naira beta your responsibilities are more. You have to guide Kartik in the right way whenever anger disturbs him. He loves you the most and he showers the love he has for his entire family on you and I know you too love him and you give him the love which he yearned for life long . And the potion you made was the one which killed Naitik and Akshara (Naira weeps remembering her lost parents and Gaurav who also was snatched from her by the dark forces. Kartik takes her into his arms and consoles her,
Finally Pankhuri beta ab tumse kya kahunga mein? Thank you so much beta for being there for Adi and helping me. Please keep everything at bay.
And yeah Chandrika and Maya dont blame me for hiding everything from you. I know you guys will take care of everything
Thank you so much Meghnand for sticking to me lifelong.
The letter ends
Vansh: Sir had planned everything so well
Kartik: None of us got any doubt
Shivaay: My life was all as per his plans only
Aman: Exactly. He is such a mastermind
Vansh: And a leader by words and deeds.
Shivaay:Sach mein our lead has gone now. We dont have any leader now
Others in Chorus: You cant say so. You are our leader and its final. We won’t repeat it anymore
The episode freezes
