Chapter 8- In The Waters 🔥

Preeta: (whines) kahan hai hum Karan? Aur yahn itni shaanti kyun hai?


Karan; tum mein thoda sa bhi patience nahi hai.. bass pahunch gaye..

He shakes his head and removes her blindfold. She sighs happily and blinks to clear her clouded vision. Her face goes 'awww' at the sight of the beautiful place. It was a small picnic spot land surrounded with tall trees and a blue water lake.

Preeta: (squeals) omg!!! Mumma's Place? Aahhh!! Omg..omg.omg... Thank you thank you

She excitedly jumps on him, putting her whole weight on him. He laughs and helds her tightly. She squeeze him in a bone crushing hug almost choking him. On climbing down from him she runs inside between the woods.

Opening her arms and inhaling the soothing smell of trees, the chirping of birds and the patter of water in the lake, she smiled facing the sky.

Karan: (proud) Dekha mera choice kitna acha hai! (she nods) Woh bench mein baithte hain chalo..

She helds his wrist and pulls him down on the grass. She gestures him to sit down and herself comes back with a mattress from the car. Laying it on the grass, she weighed her back on the mattress close to the grass, and gazed the stairs. He followed her actions.

Silence made its noise through the night sky as youngsters gazed the stars until she spoke.

Preeta: You know..

He waits for her next words..

Preeta; Jab bhi mujhe Mumma ki yaad aati hai na

His head snapped at hers as her mother was always a sensitive topic for her.

Preeta: mein hamesha yahin aati hun.. (whispers) hamesha.. kabhi kabhi toh yahn aane ka mann hi nahi karta... (chuckles) Aakar woh dhundhli yaadein baar baar aa jaati hai.. Mumma ki woh hassi, woh pyaar bhari baatein.. w-wo---

Her eyes brimmed with tears at the thought of her mother. He sensed the sadness in her tone, so he shifted closer to her and entwined their fingers giving it a little press. She shut her eyes seeking comfort.

Karan: Woh tumse hamesha pyaar karti hain Preeta. She Always loves you..

Preeta: no she doesn't..

Karan: she does..

Preeta: (accuses) if she did, then she won't have left me alone in this world.. she won't have left dad alone.. she she.. (cries)
