___________ Context __________

Darning, a sewing method, means mending [raffu in Hindi].


Tears yahan dono ke...

rishton ke fatne ke,

aur dil ke rone ke!


I have used images to aid in storytelling, so please read through the texts to get the subtext and play the bgm attached to get the full experience.  

Context: Hindu Goddess Saraswati is the goddess of wisdom and music. Those bestowed with her blessings are wise and intelligent and their voice is like the rainbow of symphony covering all the musical notes and emotions of the universe.

Note: So... till now both the pivotal characters and their environments had been in separate sequences. [odd ch.- in Akshu's sphere, even ch. - in Abhi's]. This chapter will be the first where I'll blur the lines... This chapter also involves a parallel pov sequence, for the same music, play it at the starting of the chapter.

Aur agar samajh na aye to notes provided at the end of the chapter. With that, I hope you follow along and enjoy the faster paced and detailed chapter in the story!

'One more try,' she thought, the thread trembling slightly as it approached the needle's eye. 'Focus!' she reminded himself, determined to conquer the seemingly trivial but demanding task. 

'Almost in... Ho gaya!' Releasing a sigh of relief at accomplishing the task, she took the flowers from her basket and began puncturing the buds, inserting them one by one through the threads, making a garland.

One she would be placing on their portrait... Kartik and Naira's portrait. Tying the ends of the rope, she tautened the thread, making sure it doesn't break. Not this time.
