CHAPTER 1 "She Banished"
"A true victim, Ishwari Ghale was seduced by the wicked Mohan Ghale. Our beloved leader himself sought save her from Mohan's grasp. "
Year 1987... At the King Min's Kyrat...
"Again? Is something making you sick, my angel?"
Ishwari was changing little Ajay's diaper for the fifth times.
When the door opens suddenly, she turned her head to that side. Mohan look at them askance and went out again. Didn't want to be regret before the coming home calm himself down. Leaned against the wall, he was exhausted.
Ishwari frowned.
Put Ajay to the bed and went out too. Mohan spoke without looking at her.
"How is Ajay?"
Ishwari laughed hysterically.
"He couldn't see his father for 3 days, how he is, I wonder?"
"I couldn't, with the last 2 ones, whole Outposts were gone. 1 person died most of the others wounded.. Enemy became increasingly powerful. They're getting stronger every day!"
The last sentence so loudly said that ishwari had to go inside to check if Ajay wakes up. She was as angry as he is when she comes back.
"If you accept support from Kyrati women now that you've got the Outpost!"
"About that-"
"No, we need that Mohan! Look at you! How are you going to fight like this? How many people have you got now? I'll talk to them. Tomorrow-"
"Stop! It'll never happen!"
"You don't need extra power? As "Tarun Matara" I say I'm going to talk."
Mohan laughed cruelly and turned to her.
"Tarun Matara? Now that ID of yours, are you using for this? What would you think if gods know about your idea?"
"They would what you failed to do, they would trust. At least I'll do my best. Or we can't win. We should try everything to win. You can teach women how to handle a gun. They can grasp and understand as much as you do. Even-"
"Ajay? What about him, huh? If something happens to you, what will you do if something happens to the children of those women?"
"You too, may not return home one day."
"It's not the same thing."
Mohan turned and head to house then she approached him from behind and quickly grabbed his gun and put against him. Mohan was surprised. His eyes wide opened, looked at her.
"Did you see that? It's not that hard."
She lowered the weapon and handed it to him. He pulled the gun. He got angry. With his strong arms grasped the young woman's arms and shooked.
"Do you think that you get so close to the king like that? You can put his gun to his face so easily? No, you can't because they'll shoot you before that. Not to mention about his soldiers next to him or even in the castle. You don't know what we're dealing with ishwari! What is happening there is not as it appears here. Not ever! You don't see what he has done to this place!"
Ishwari fell silent. Didn't want to argue more. She doesn't like to get him angry who looks really tired. The voice was soft when she spoke again.
"Maybe arranged a meeting or something, how far with the blood? Nobody wants to see any more blood."
Mohan, wasn't agree. He put icy expression face.
"it will end when Pagan Min died in my hands. Otherwise this place never gonna find any piece of peace."
"How will you kill him? Numerically, Golden path isn't the half of his army. Moreover, many civilian on his side. All of the people in the north was connected to him. To convince them is useless. There is always war resuming for ages. No one can't handle it anymore."
Mohan wasn't follow while she was talking. Suddenly he turned to her.
"I know these, but now I think about something Ishwari."
"Hm?"
Mohan suddenly have mince matters. Besides he was looking with excitement now.
"Maybe if we were in the palace, things would be easier."
Ishwari tried to understand what he meant.
"A spy? This is very dangerous, isn't it? Also the King knows all members of Golden Path."
"True but there is someone who's stranger for the King, and she's very smart."
Mohan rolled his eyes, Ishwari jumped with shock. She couldn't say anything. How would he? She thinks. Even after he accused through her because of using her identity! Her eyes was filled with rage.
"What are you saying? Are you out of your mind?"
"You are the Tarun Matara, the former Regent, the temporarily became suggestive person who push an armys leg with your heart, you're precious and sacred, they can't do anything to you. I know Pagan very well, he'll want you to keep close to him for strength. He's hungry for any more . I think you'll be perfectly safe! And The Golden path, thanks to you, can bring down from the inside of his throne and crown!"
As he spoke with the enthusiasm that, Ishwari was looking him in disgust. Didn't want to believe that he is the father of her child. Without even looking at him ishwari, walked inside for hold Ajay who started to cry loudly.
Mohan fiddled with the lights flashing in his head, as even he had forgotten about his fatigue. Ishwari, hugged Ajay tightly. The tears had started to flow. when she heard the sound of the Mohan's car with a case of hiccups started to cry even more.
How is she leave Ajay and everything she has for living and go right in the middle of the tiger's den?
After that night which Mohan said his wife to go to the Royal Palace and spy on Pagan Min, they fought every single day for one week. As a result, that was an order and after talking with her own people, Ishwari embraced it with a bad grace.
The last night of her home was painful. Ajay cried all night like he feel that his mom gonna leave him. Ishwari hold him until he dozed off. She kissed him on his forehead and went to her room. She take a bag for pack but Mohan came after her and saw the bag then pulled away from her.
"This isn't a vacation. Just take smaller one."
"Clothes?"
She asked without looking him.
"Youre not gonna need any. We'll send you so we can hide letters in them."
Ishwari closed her eyes took a deep breath and almost with a begging voice:
"I have bad feelings about that. Maybe we should give up before it's too lat-"
"No," he chipped and stared her shoes.
"Wear something durable."
...
Ishwari couldn't sleep well and morning was more painful than the last night. After hugs and kisses Ajay last time she gave him to aunt's daughter Rayhaan. Rayhaan recently given birth so in her absence, she would look after Ajay.
Ishwari sat in the passenger seat. The second person to accompany her is the second-commmand of Mohan, Sevat. He was wearing civilian clothes wearing a hat to avoid being recognized. And he was completely unarmed.
There were only four people who know about this. Rayhaan, Mohan and two second-command of him. Nobody will know except them. People of Kyrat were the weak-minded and linked to their fatuous traditions. They wouldn't want that their well-beloved goddess Tarun Matara goes to near by the enemy. Mohan was aware of this risk, of course. The thing he's not aware of that this decision is gonna make him rue the day of he was born.
After a period of nearly two hours had passed closing to the North. Sevat, reduces the car's speed was almost stopped.
"So far it was good not to be a problem occurs. But after that, it will be very dangerous. "
Ishwari didn't look at him, her eyes still staring back. The tears were not yet dry. She shook her head as an "okay".
They continued on the road. After entering a curved path Sevat stopped the car just before the peak.
"After that you will continue yourself Ishwari."
Ishwari looked at the road. It was empty.
"But we are not there even the King's Bridge yet."
"That bridge is not vulnerable as before. They will not let us in even from the entrance. There are a lot of people. I'm sorry, but that Mohan's orders. He wants to you walk away from here. "
Commenting on the last night of her shoes, Ishwari now understood.
"It's okay Sevat. I'll be fine. Go carefully, bye. "
A soon as out of the car, her feet wanted to go back, quietly, behind him.
Back to home.
She shook her head to get rid of these thoughts. She takes a deep breath and began walking. After a 20-minute walk she exceeded the hill and saw the giant bridge. Sevat was right, there were a lot of royal guard. They realized her directly when she took a few steps toward them. A guard, pointed his gun at her.
"Miss, you can not enter here. This bridge-"
"I'd like to go to the Royal Palace. I need to meet with King Min. "
Royal Guards looked at each other and laughed.
"I am the Tarun Matara," said Ishwari.
They shut up quickly.
