Satyasena rushed forward , tears glistening down his face
" Vrushali...." He said in a trembling voice and hugged her as if his life depended on it .
Slowly vrushali made her way to the verenda and tears flowed from her eyes as disbelief flashed across her face .
Her father who was healthy days before was dead , the floor was stained crimson with blood still dripping from his head
Her voice stuck in her throat as her knees gave away , she felt her knees come in contact with cool , hard floor .
Hot tears choked vrushali's throat , she saw her mother , she looked pale and tired from all the screaming and crying, her hair was open , her sindoor was smeared and her glass bangles were broken and were scattered in bits all across the floor.
Satyasena kneeled down with her and hugged her as they both sobbed.
True , she had been more closer to her mother than she had been to her father but the mere thought of never seeing him ever again hurt her so much .
By mid afternoon , her father's life less body was taken to a cremation ground. Her mother's face sacred her so much. Satyasena was by her side and suddenly she felt rough hands interwining with her own and faint butterflies tickled her stomach. She turned to see karna there . He gave her a sad smile and squeezed her hand .
All the tears that had seemed to gone away came flooding back again as she tried to hold them in . She leaned into her brother's shoulders as she saw mantras being chanted and the rituals being done . Tears still freely flowed as her brother left her side and lit up her father's cropse .
Vrushali will not ever figure out what thoughts crossed her mother's mind that caused her launch herself onto the vivacious, burning , red , hot fire .
But it was at that moment everything changed for her , the world fell off her feet as her stomachs did flip flops . Time slowed down and screams were echoing from all parts of the crowd. vrushali's breathing became heavy , she was hyperventilating . The world blacked out as she collapsed
****************
Vrushali felt ill and nauseous as she woke up to cooing birds .
Her head felt heavy and her eyes weren't functioning as they were supposed to .
A soft groan escaped her mouth as she rubbed her temples.
" Vrushali?" She snapped her head towards the source of noise.
" Your awake ? How do you feel ? Need any water " asked the village doctor.
" No but thanks , can I know why I am here though?'' she asked as she rubbed her eyes and felt a pricking sensation.
" Just a moment" he said going outside and calling someone.
Within a few minutes, her brother were before her.
As soon as he saw her , satyasena, engulfed vrushali in a tight hug as he let out shaky breaths .
" Your all I have now vrushali, please don't leave me , please" he pleaded with her as vrushali felt a tear drop roll down his cheek .
" I won't, please, I can't see you cry ! " She muttered comfortingly.
" Hey....um guys , I brought you some food , please eat na?"
They broke the hug and saw karna standing there with a bowl in his hand .
He gave them the food and honestly vrushali didn't even feel the taste or flavours.she felt numb still processing everything that happened .
At noon break , vrushali sat with her brother, leaning into his shoulders and blabbering.
" Why was he so careless! And ma ! How could she ! Satyasena how could she "
" Your hurting. Maybe when we've thoroughly processed this we could understand her " he said lightly shifting in his position.
Vrushali sat there silently , her mind kept reminding her of the good old times , she felt sick , a sudden feeling that all hope had been lost .
" You know" the sound of her brother's voice prevented her from drowning in her thoughts," we need a source . A source which will provide us with income." He said thoughtfully.
" But we're still young. What can we possibly do "
" I dunno . Maybe we could ask Radha ma , she'll talk to adirath papa maybe?"
" Maybe." She answered back .
Life was just so damn unpredictable know . Nobody knows what the future has in store.
