The Saint's reminder

It was quite and calm morning. After a few years Rakt had forgotten about the brave little girl Sasmada who was of a small aashram called Naruna Villiam Aashram. Sasmada took her sisters to the forest and decided to live there peacefully and vowed to herself that no matter what she will become capable enough to kill Rakt and Robota, the kings of Poshama but eventually after some years she forgot her vow. Suddenly Sasmada shouts, " Mika!! come back and eat, u can practice it later". There was a pile of tree barks put on top of each. Mika was standing in front of them and attempted to break the pile at once with her bear hands. And she succeeded. Blood was all in her hands. She looked at her hands disgusted and thought, " I think I need to fix my hands first then only I can eat otherwise didi will go all mad at me if see my hands all in blood." sighed Mika. While she was moving to their hut, Sasmada caught her and shouted, "Where do you think you are going now?! Come here right now or I will make you stand out in the woods for whole day!". Mika immediately stopped walking and glanced at Sasmada, she was red hot with anger. "How am I supposed to go like this in front of her, uh, I am screwed." thought Mika. " Wait, I have an idea..." thought Mika and spoke from far, " Didi my hands are all dirty right now I need to wash it before eating". " You come here first and then wash your hands, I have something tell you." said Sasmada. " Oh my she never listens to me, I am literally screwed." thought Mika. Mika started walking slowly towards Sasmada looking down hiding her hands back. As she came to Sasmada, she grabbed Mika's hands immediately and tried to drag her somewhere but felt something wet on her and felt it really strange, as she turned to see her hands, her eyes widened with shock and released her hands quickly. "Mika! what have you done? how this happened? what were you doing?!" panicked Sasmada. Little tears came into Sasmada 's eyes as she spoke. "I am totally fine just need some bandage to put on and I am done." said Mika with no pain at all. " Ya! What were you doing that lead to this?!" shouted Sasmada. "N- Nothing" said Mika feebly looking down." Look up Mika and tell me" said Sasmada angrily. After seeing Sasmada getting more angry she spoke really fast with fear," I was breaking the pile of barks with my hands".Sasmada bolied with anger " What?! You were doing it again? after telling you a thousand times why do you not understand that its really very dangerous! I know you are strong but still ,stop doing stuff that only hurts you back!" scolded Sasmada. Hasna walked calmly towards Sasmada and said," The food is ready on the table and is getting cold. I guess we should eat now ." "You better not do it next time! Now come with me fast" said Sasmada while holding her wrist lightly. Sasmada started walking towards the hut followed by Hasna. She opened the door with her other hand and made Mika sit on the bed, while she sat on the ground. "Didi you don't need to do it, I can do it by myself" said Mika. " Be quiet " said Sasmada. She took the first aid box from the cupboard and took out the medicine first from the box and applied it gently on her hands caressing it. Mika looked at Sasmada and thought," Didi cares for me so much and I hurt myself again and again so foolishly, I love my didi very much, I can do anything for her". Suddenly Sasmada spoke, " You should be careful while practicing, does it hurt very much?" said Sasmada looking up. "No a little "smiled Mika. "Please don't hurt yourself like this again I am not able to see you like this" said Sasmada. "Ok didi as you say" replied Mika. "OMG!!!! Mika what happened?! why are you hurt like this?" said Hasna entering panicking. "Its nothing didi I was just breaking the pile of barks with my hands and got hurt" said Mika. "Oh you did it again "said Hasna angrily. Mika apologized to her and Sasmada smiled at both of them. As Sasmada finished bandaging her hands she spoke,"Here, its done, now listen carefully, you are not allowed to do practicals and practice for 1 month, understood ?". "What? No! no way! I want to practice didi please, please let me do it I am really fine and it will not hurt , please" begged Mika. "Just be quiet and obey me, you have theory to learn too, learn that for 1 month" said Sasmada angrily. "But didi..." Mika started speaking when Sasmada immediately cut her off," Shhh! no more discussion now, come and eat fast" and walked out of the hut. Mika looked at Hasna with disappointment. "You should have been more careful Mika" said Hasna and left the place leaving Mika alone. "Now how am I even suppose to learn the new techniques without practicing ??" thought Mika and walked out too.

All the three sisters were sitting in a circle and food was placed in the middle by Hasna. All started eating, Mika was facing difficulty in eating because of her deep wound on her hand. She tried to eat but was not able to, she started moaning in pain. Sasmada saw that and sat near to her and told," Open your mouth". Mika quietly obeyed what she told to her and Sasmada started feeding her by her own hands. After awhile they finished eating and stood at their places. "Thank you didi" said Mika to Sasmada. "Don't hurt yourself again and again, I will not be present everytime to feed you like this." replied Sasmada and left. "How rude..." thought Mika. "Are you coming with me to practice Swordaya* Mika?" said Hasna. " Yes I am coming". "But you are not allowed to practice so sit in the hut, go" said Hasna smirking. "If I am not even allowed to practice and you know that then why are you asking me?!" said Mika irritated. "Whatever..." said Hasna and left for practice. "Uh, what am I going to do now?" thought Mika and walked to the Hut.

Sasmada and Mika were practicing Swordaya. Two swords were clashing with each other like anything. There was a really tough match between them. There was a environment of do or die. Sasmada was slowly getting heavy on Hasna's sword and boom! hasna's sword broke into two and fell on the ground. " You are too weak Hasna" said Sasmada. Hasna just looked at Sasmada angrily and said," Lets do a another match, this time I will show you who really Hasna is." said Hasna. "Sure" smirked Sasmada. They started their match again. Again swords clashed to each other bang bang boong tang. There was a tough match and got tougher with time. A old Saint was passing by the place where they were practicing their skills. He wore a long yellow dhoti and only a cloth around his upper body with a small vessel of holy water in his hands. On his way he saw the two girls and walked to them. " Beautiful daughter, can I get a help from you?" said the Saint to Hasna. Hasna glanced at the Saint and examined him from top to the bottom and then decided to speak," How can I help you Pandit ji?" said Hasna. "I am a little thirsty, I need some water" said the Saint. "Ok just wait a minute and I will get you the water" said Hasna and left. The Saint smiled at Hasna and looked at Sasmada immediately after she left. Sasmada was already looking at him suspiciously. "Are you The Sasmada Conri? asked The Saint. "Yes I am pandit ji" replied Sasmada. " But how do you know me?" asked calmly yet curiously. " You are really very popular dear, and the whole Fifia is waiting for you." said The Saint and left Sasmada stunned. "Wait a minute, I know that I am popular for my skills but what do you mean by whole Fifia is waiting for me?" Asked Sasmada curiously. "You have definitely forgotten the fact that you are our future Sasmada " said The saint. "Future? what are you talking about?, can u pls explain it more elaborately?" said Sasmada frustrated. "Off course my dear" said The saint smiling."If you remember when you were small you were having your elder sister Kormana your FL* she died because of a reason." said the Saint emphasizing the word died while coming closer to Sasmada 's ears giving chills to her whole body."The reason was the majestic powerful magician of Poshama, the king, Robota Poshama's most trusted buddy Rakt Poshama. You vowed to yourself that day when your sister was killed by Rakt that you will create a death bed for them at that very place. Didn't you took that vow dear? and now you act like you don't know anything. "said The Saint. After hearing to that Sasmada felt her body very heavy to stand amd she suddenly fell on the ground, her hands on her head, tears came flowing down from her eyes as she looked up to the Saint breathing heavily. "H-how did y-you k-know that?" stuttered Sasmada. "I worship The Lion Goddess, what did you expect from me then?"replied The Saint. "You should not strech it any longer, the whole country is only waiting for YOU to become there first loyal president Sasmada!" said the Saint, his voice raised as he eventually spoke resulting to more tears flowing through Sasmada 's eyes. Suddenly Hasna entered with a glass of water in her hands and saw Sasmada crying, the glass slipped from her hands as she ran towards her and spoke," Didi what happened? why are you crying?? did that Saint do anything to you? are you alright? are you hurt?" asked Hasna shaking Sasmada crying too. She was not able to see her confident and strict elder sister so weak like this as it was the first time she saw Sasmada like this. She didn't understand what to do so she decided to go and call Mika out of the hut and take her to nearest aashram from there so that the guruji there can help her. When she looked up to see The Saint, he was vanished. She looked here and there but was not able to find him. Sasmada suddenly grabbed Hasna's hands and asked her in low voice with tears in her eyes," Do you know who was Kormana Conri?".
