Deal To Love

SILLY HER...

“Rai, read the Savitri path today.” Vasanti gave her a book to read which she happily obeyed.
She started reading the story.

“And this is how Sati restored the life of her husband.” She finished the story.
“See..we know something it was all written and pre-planned. But the moral is we should not lose our faith and belief. Her strong guts made her to follow Yamraj and restore life in her dead husband. And this can happen only in true love.” Vasanti added.

“Lord! Mujhe nahi pata ki main apne patni ko bacha paoon ya nahi par itna maloom hain ki jo hoga aapki marzi se.. isiliye sirf itna kehta hoon ki aap mere saath rehna. Aaj jo aapne mera margdarshan kiya uske liye aapko dhanyawad.” Keshav got a ray of hope after hearing the story.

After sharing Prasad and aarti, Keshav stood up and ran to their room.
Rai too came up following him.
“Arey, what would they think?” Rai frowned. “ Call them here...” Keshav asked her.
“Why? All of sudden?” 
“Jo keh raha hoon wahi karon!” He said. She nodded and called everyone.
Vasanti and Vasudev helped Anju to climb up the stairs.
“What happened Keshav? Agar kuch kehna tha toh niche hi kyon nahi bola?”.
He sheepishly laughed when he saw Rai holding her forehead.
“Achcha Sorry! Par jab aap sab yaha aa hi gaye toh main apko batana chahta hoon ki kal  humlog sab ek tirth sthaan par jaayenge...”
“Lekin--” Vasudev was cut off by Keshav, “lekin- wekin kuch nahi bas chaliye..”
“Arey lekin Rai, Uma aur Shraddha toh bohot chote hain abhi yeh kese?” She looked at Rai to manage her husband.

“H-aa Haa.. Keshav main nahi jaa sakti..” “Par maine ek surprise plan kiya tha.. ab jab sab kuch ready ho gaya hain toh chaliye na..” Keshav pleaded everyone.

“Ajji? Kuch kahiye na?” He atlast looked at Anju who simply chuckled at him.. “Chalo yeh achcha plan hi toh hain... aur rahi baat journey ki toh shayad aap sab yeh bhool rahen hain ki hum Rajvanshi hain.. humare royal private jet se jaayenge hum!”

“ Ok! If Aai is fine then we are also ready to fly?” Vasanti joked while everyone laughed.

The next day they took a flight and flied to Mathura. There they visited and attented satsangs, performed kirtan, gave some money to street beggars. Aside enjoying their tirth yatra, they were also living in a ashram like a normal bhakt.
“It doesn't feels that today is our last day.. as if we came minute ago..” Vasanti spoke after wearing saree.

“Yes, but today we have to go. Its being 12 days now.. we have to go to palace.” Vasudev said.

“Aai- Baba.. I wanted something can you both permit?”

“Son? What happened?” Anju asked.
“I want to remarry Rai again” He said with a pleading tone.

Vasanti looked at Vasudev. “What are you saying Son? Why all sudden?”

Keshav gulped his lump. He looked to ensure Rai wasn't there. He took a long breathe.
“First of all, don't panic.. I know this would gonna very heart breaking but I think you should be informed about the matter. ”

“See.. why are you scaring us like this? What happened? ” Anju asked.

“Rai is suffering from  Breast Cancer!”

The last words made the environment numb. “Keshav? Ae.. Keshav? Kanha.. kese?” Anju  fell senseless..

Vasanti and Vasudev quickly helped Keshav to pick her up. They kept her in the bed while Vasanti kept fanning her so that she could get her sense back.

“ Kitna din baaki hain?” Vasanti asked without looking at him.

“Aai? Aap esa keh reh hain..?” He voice got cracked. “Aap toh mujhe kehte the na ki positive socho? Agar mera pyaar sachcha hain toh Rai will live longer than me..”

Vasudev stood up and held his son.
“Beta lekin... What's pre-planned we can't stop it.. right?” He tried to make him understand.

“Woh sab mujhe nahi pata.. Aai ne us din ko Savitri path kiya tha na? Savitri also returned the life of her death husband then why I can't cure her? I know this doesn't make sense but I know my love is pure. It isn't affection or attraction but a pure love. And if Rai will go earlier I don't think I would be alive.  Anyways I thought I will give world's every happiness and make her positive.” Keshav unloaded the burden of sorrows from his heart.
“Don't worry beta.. I know what you are doing.. always remember we are with you.. and Rai is not just my daughter in law but a daughter. I loved her too with pure heart. So I don't let her leave us that easily.” Vasanti smiled with tears flowing from her cheeks.
“ Rai is very special and strong. She could easily fight against negative. And the power of our love will help her.” Vasudev added.
Least they knew  Rai was heard their conversation behind the wall. The girl whose tears were dried up, was now crying whole heartedly with warm tears. “I will Live for sure.. I have to live!”       She promised herself.

On the other hand Keshav told them to not tell they knew about her Cancer.
That evening they went back to Mumbai, at their palace. As per Keshav's wish they started to decorate the wedding hall at a different place secretly.
“C'mon Keshav? Can you please unfold my blindfold now?” Rai requested.

“Wait a minute!” He quickly set up his table for the date he arranged for them. He then untied the blindfold of her. She was in awe when the blingy lights attracted her eyes. “Wow!” The only word came out from her lips.
“Rai?” She turned back to see the owner of the voice on knees.

“Rai?I know  nothing remains constant in this world and you know you are the nothing in the sentence which will remain constant at my life- afterlife. I don't know how long I can keep my lips away from your lips but I will try..” he joked which make her giggle.
He stood up and pulled her waist close to his grip. “You know what I like everything of Shraddha but my favourite is the mother of Shraddha... Nevermind I love my baby for sure but then again all thanks to you.”

He then went on knees and put one of his finger in his pocket. “ Back then we only had a legal marriage but I know you always wanted a big dreamy wedding so will you.... Be my Forever again?” He pulled out a shiny diamond studded  ring .” 
She stood all numb. “Why are you doing all this? Keshav? Why are you raising my expectations and will to live again and again.. the more I feel low about counting my days , the more you are putting efforts to accelerate my hope to live.” She talked to herself mentally.
“Rai? You didn't liked my proposal?” He asked while finding a way to look at her eyes as she was lost in herself. Keshav knew what she was thinking.
“Look how silly you are, here I struggled that much decorating everything all myself with help of pinterest and you are all lost in your world” He spoke.
“Arey! Nevermind I am not used to it. Aditya never took me to a date neither I got such proposal in my life. I don't know how to express what I'm feeling now”.  She finally looked at his eyes.
He slowly came closet to her and whispered, “what are you feeling?”
His husky voice made her shiver. She looked at the hazel orbs and grabbed his curls to pull his face to her level.
“Maybe it would look very crazy and wild but now I don't want those expensive rings but you.. I'm feeling ecstacy in your warmth... And don't push me away because now you will get your reward...” Finishing her speech in a sexier voice, he was shocked when he felt her pink lips smooching his lips. After sometime letting her to dominate he broke the kiss.
“Still silly you are..my forever Khargosh... Don't you know your these little acts makes me feel hot and dirty!” He again attached his lips on hers.

Making her legs crossing his torso after lifting her, he continued his kissing session while walking to their tent.
