Broken But Beautiful

Chapter 2

I could feel the sea breeze gently kissing my cheeks as I curled up against the warm and comfortable sand. Is this heaven? What is happening? Who am I and this beautiful feeling circling around me feels so homelike.
"For this is your home! You finally reached home Chaitali!" A melodious voice entered my ear. It was so beautiful and sugary that it seemed like my ears would melt listening to the beautiful melody of the voice.
"Now open your eyes my dear" the voice cried and suddenly a rush of emotions filled my heart. I am Chaitali! Chaitali Malhotra. Where am I? Allegedly I was in Mumbai last time. Wait...
How did it not occur earlier? Where is my baby? My son?
I quickly opened my eyes in panic.
"Adi!" I called as I jumped off my feet trying to locate my son.
"Panicky again! It has always been your problem guiding you to misfortunes." The voice said. I turned around to encounter the person. It was a beautiful woman. She was wearing a beautiful ghagra embroidered with flowers and leaves depicting nature. Was she the goddess of nature? The earth godess? Have I encountered death? Is my son Alive?
"Stop thinking so much. Hey Narayan! And no...I am no Goddess. I am as mortal as you have ever been" she replied. However there hid a slight orgasm behind that tone.
"Where is my son? Where am I? Who are you?" I started panicking again. This woman was surprisingly right. Panic would be the death of me. Oh my dear Jesus! Where is Adi?!
"You will meet your son when the time is right my dear" she said. She was kidding right? Why was she speaking in riddles? What the hell?!
"I am sorry I don't understand. Will you answer any of my questions directly?!" I asked my voice having a tinge of fury and a great amount if panic.
"Don't worry. Your son is safe and is in a much better position as compared to you. Do not worry. You have to come with me. You are in a completely new world. Oh god Shyam! Why am I the one handling the panicky one? " The woman muttered as she looked up at the sky .
"I won't move a step unless you tell me where my son is" I replied firmly. I didn't care how sweet or kind she sounded. She was not giving me the answer I coveted.
"I will not listen a word more. I wanna meet my son." I cried angrily.
"Well your son is in Angdesh" the lady said.
"Angdesh? Where is Angdesh? It's in India right?" I had never heard this name before.
"You are currently in Gokul." She said smiling.
""Gokul? As in close to Vrindavan?" I asked shocked as of how can I land in Gokul right from Bombay. Where did the sea carry me?!
"How is that possible? I was in Mumbai...how did I reach Gokul?!" I breathed heavily as I looked ta her in horror and started running the other way round.
"You chose the difficult way chaitali...I wanted us to have a decent conversation"the lady shouted but it seemed inaudible after a point. As I kept on running away from the beach...I was astonished and intrigued by the change in fashion sense of people here in dwarka. What's happening?! Indians still dress this way in Gujarat?! 
"Are you lost my lady?" A man asked in pure Hindi or was it Sanskrit.
"I...uh I..." Before I could say any further I felt a loud thud and immediate pain. Did they just hit me in my head! My eyes started closing again.

"The river is so peaceful Krishna...it seems like the perfect place to live. I can float inside and get lost and never come back!" A little sunaina commented.
Krishna couldn't help but smile at the irony. Ofcourse he knew sea was the perfect home...it was his home after all!
"Why do u talk so deep sunaina? U are a child even though I enjoy these deep convos with you" Krishna said as he suddenly began smiling.
"What are you smiling at govind?" Sunaina asked.
" You know how sometimes some people's arrival pleases you" Krishna said.
"Who has arrived Krishna?" Sunaina asked way too innocent to understand nature's plans.
"Arrived? Who has arrived sakhi? I was just talking about nature!" Krishna exclaimed with a fake smile
"You keep bluffing before me govind! I know you too well!" Sunaina contradicted.
"Sakhi look over there! It seems like a figure!" Krishna said longing at the sea . Sunaina looked closer and saw a little boy lying on the beach.  He was about her age or probably a little older.
"Krishna Krishna is he fine?" Sunaina asked all concerned.
"We should go and see" Krishna answered and followed sunaina as she ran towards the baby boy.

"Is he fine?" Sunaina asked as the doctor tried to recover the fainted boy.
"He is alive" the doctor said.
"Oh thank god. But how did he reach here doctor and his clothes...who is this boy?" Karn asked as he viewed the baby with pity and love .
Draupadi and subhadra were nursing the child and arranging for all the things needed for his quick recovery.
Karn and Arjun were discussing and trying to investigate about a missing boy in Indraprastha.
Sunaina was still sitting beside the boy while Krishna began playing his flute smiling at the destiny.
"Now it's only you left my dear sakhi Chaitali. Come to us soon."  Krishna whispered.
"Fir that she needs to come to me first kanha. That woman ran away!" Radha muttered .
"Hey mahadev! Always this impulsive woman!" Krishna commented and smiled again.
