27. Surrender to You

Can I ever hate this man?
Can anyone ever hate this man?

Atharva Roy.
The Atharva Roy.

My past boyfriend.
My current fiance.
My future Husband.

.

Atharva was sweating. That fair face all red, those brown eyes turned almond colored into the sun. His hair almost dripping sweat drops and all of his neck veins enhanced.

He is actually carrying me in his arms, climbing up all the hundred and eight steps.
He doesn't really looked bothered of my weight but I was concerned. I was concerned for him since the steps were high, the afternoon Rajasthan is almost hotter as sun.
Someone who isn't used to Rajasthan sun will definitely going to fade with the sweat and heat.

.

But look at this man!
Stubborn as always.

"Atharva, you were not well last night. It's okay if you can't carry me all the way up. Don't stress yourself." I said as the guilt of my own weight knocking on my heart. He was the one carrying me all the way up but my heart was beating faster than him.

My hands were wrapped around his neck but I was sliding my palm on his chest continuously to feel his heartbeat.
I don't want him to overdo it.

I believe on this rituals and traditions but Atharva does not.
But look at this stubborn man!
He is doing this ritual for me and our family.

.

He used to be really practical when we were little or in college.
He was almost a atheist, not believing on god, destiny or fate. Everything was science to him.

And I was opposite.
I am faithful girl, a devotee of Lord Krishna. I believe there is an energy that connects all of us together and that is what we call a God.

.

I'm sure Atharva can't deny it now since after eight years. After whole eight years of being apart, of being in pain and of being in denial...
We're back together.

Well,
Not willingly but I will always wonder what must be the plan of Lord Krishna to bring us back together.

.

For eight years,
I prayed Lord Krishna for peace.
I didn't prayed for Atharva nor I prayed for anyone else.

I prayed for peace.
And it brought me back to Atharva.
My peace.

.

"Darling shut up. As much as I love you being worried about my health and yada yada. Right now, I'm completely fine. You're underestimating my strength and stamina." Atharva and his way of telling why he is perfect in every aspect of life.

Money = Can buy an entire country
Strength = Will fight to freaking lion
Knowledge = His IQ says 170
Personality = Can flatter as well as stab anyone's heart
