27-Khushi's love

Kolkata

Khushi was trying her very best to recover,recover from the things she recalled. Believe it or not there are powers that are higher than what we see,what we understand. And something like that happened with Khushi..

After her death in the hands of Anjali and co,Khushi found herself in the presence of someone. That person had no face,no defined features. He just felt like he existed somehow. Yet Khushi didnot feel scared. That person had that soothing aura around him..

"Are you Devi Maiya?"asked Khushi..
(Khushi is an ardent believer of Devi maa,Durga)
The person just laughed. Yet he didnot have any feature..But his smile Khushi could feel it. It was like the smile radiated from that person's whole being..

"You can call me that..Whatever your heart desires,you can call me. Some call me God,some even call me dog. So dear,whatever you feel,you can call me" the person said..

And Khushi watched the faceless identity became the familiar Goddess she saw in temples..

"Child,you have a pure heart. Whatever happened in the past,it was not yours to bear. Yet you accidentally crossed the path with Arnav and your soul that had no mate,got tied with him,forever. So you had to go through all this. If you are given another chance,to change things,will you take it?"asked the Goddess..

Khushi stood silent..What to do..

"But there is a condition,if you choose to rewrite your destiny, Arnav's existance will be wiped out. A person called Arnav would not exist. He,his family,Anjali and everyone would just be destroyed"the smiling Goddess spoke before Khushi could open her mouth. It seemed She understood what Khushi was going to do..

"Then Maa,wipe my existance away but give Arnav a happy family. He should be happy. He had such a terrifying childhood,his parents died,then had to shoulder such heavy burden on young shoulders. Then Anjali betrayed him.. Maa,I am just a passerby in Arnav's life. As you said,I didnot have mate,otherhalf before..Do Maa,take away my every good deeds,if I did any and give Arnav a good life. Actually I donot want to exist anymore Maa. Just let me rest in your feet forever as a dust particle if possible..Please"Khushi begged..

The person before her sighed. It was just a test. Yet who would think,Khushi doesnot even want to exist anymore..

So she just pulled Khushi closer and soothed her..

"You know I cannot do that. You are already tied with Arnav. As the choice you made,Arnav would get a good life,a new beginning and will be happy. You will forget everything till the right moment comes..Now go to sleep"She gently patted Khushi's head to make her sleep. And slowly all the memories of past,the meeting,herself,everything got pushed back in her. Until the right trigger is not there,she would not remember anything. For it hurts,so damn good..

The same person met Arnav and gave him whatever he wished. And didnot even mention Khushi to him. She too wanted to see,what would Arnav choose..

A person who loves him,without even memory. Just his voice and she fell for him.. Or money,power, family,world..

Time too takes test..
