Yatee : Rise of an Empress

||९||

"Almost eight years have passed now. Atleast, after the release of Mamanji, I hope I will get what I've been longing for. Why Mahadev, why there is a delay for my husband to visit me? Have I been a not so good wife when I was at my in-laws ? Or just like Kaki says, he has married someone else? Am I so ugly ? Or am I so dark ? Why, why do I have such an ungrateful fate ?" Saying so, Yatee started to sob.

"Such a tragic life she has. I guess she must be in a deep sorrow." Chandrashekhar was speaking to himself when he heard a sorrowful song....

"साजणा रे,
प्रियतमा रे,
मी तुझीच यति
(My love, my better half, this Yatee only yours)

नाही सामान्य माझा धनी,
शूर वीर माझा धनी,
गाजे कीर्ती त्याची रणी...
(My husband isn't an ordinary one
He has great valour and his fame is spread all over the battlefield once he enters one)

पण नाही मान्य यति,
नाही मान्य तिची प्रीती,
मग काय अर्थ त्या जीवनी?
(But this Yatee isn't accepted by him
Her love isn't accepted by him
If this is so, what is the use of this life?)

ही काया ही तुझी,
ही छाया ही तुझा,
पण का नाही रे मी तुझी?
(This body belongs to you,
This shadow of mine belongs to you
But then why I'm not yours ?)

कळली नाही, जडली ही नाही, हरपुन गेली प्रीती
जिला ती कळली, झाली पार्वती, झाली ती जानकी
थोर ती सीता, थोर सती,
कळली जयांना प्रीती
(I didn't understood love, love hasn't created a room among us, love has vanished from my life
The one who understood love was Goddess Parvati and Goddess Sita
Great were they both, who understood love and sacrificed their everything for it)

नाही उमगली
मझ, नाही समजली,
म्हणुनी मी अभागी यति
म्हणुनी मी अभागी यति...
(I wasn't able to digest that love
I wasn't able to understand that love
That's why, I'm the unfortunate girl,Yatee)"

He saw the lady who was the brave one while killing Pankaj Kumar crying out and sob. He was shocked to hear her name.

"Yatee !? Is that my wife, Yatee ? She is in such a grief and I am the foolish one to keep her away from me... I'm a really bad husband. I must do something to make her feel that I do care for her. But do I ? I know I have some feelings for her. Even I'm longing to meet her. But is that love ? Yes, this is love. I am also awaiting to meet her. But this isn't the exact way and time to meet her. Or it is ?" Chandrashekhar spoke to himself.

Suddenly, Yatee heard a similar tone of song from her backside...

"साजणी ग
ऐक ना...
तुच माझी राज्ञी
तूच माझी यति
(My love, listen to me, you are my Queen, you are my Yatee)

कसला हा रुसवा,
कसली ही चिंता,
कसला हा राग मझवरी,
(What is the reason for these sorrows, for these worries,
What are you angry with me ?)

तुझविण अपूर्ण मी,
अपूर्ण माझे घर,
अपूर्ण माझे मन
(I'm incomplete without you
Even my house and my mind are incomplete without you)

हा चंद्र (मी) तुझा
ही रात सारी तुझी
मग का हा रुसवा मझवरी
(This Chandrashekhar is yours
This night is also yours
Then why still you hold grudges in your mind)
