Standing in Stone path across pond which is filled with white lotus. I turn around and see i have walked a lot from the shore to go back. I am standing all alone in between pond covered with white lotus in a bright sunny day ,when i turn around and see there was girl crouching at pond and playing with water. She is dressed in simple white dress,long pitch black hairs which had been set free flying in wind and it's blocking my view. I can't see her face,before i could call her something shined brightly blinding me for a second,I rub my eyes and focus again to see it's a golden heart shaped pendent having a lotus flower carved on it. It's the same pendent i saw eight years ago,it's the same pendent which was worn by the person who saved me from accident. Suddenly girl stands up,her back is facing me and i try to move but i can't even move my leg it's glued to rock,slowly this girl starts to turn around... "Ranaji....ranaji... Arjun...Arjun....wake up beta" i open my eyes gasping for air,i stare at ceiling which had incredible mirror reflecting me and maa sa who was sitting beside me on bed.

I get up and lean towards headrest "what happened? Are you tired that you slept after breakfast?" Maa sa asked in concern,"no i just dossed off" i sigh in disbelief "ohh! Get ready fast or else we will the auspicious time your haldi" she said walking towards couch and picking up simple white kurta. She neatly placed it on bed and asked me to wear it and walked out of my room.

I look around my room in Sheesh Mahal which is decorated for wedding,my wedding with Bhanu who is slowly getting under my skin making it impossible to ignore her like i initially thought and now this weird dream. I have always been dreaming the same from past eight years,my accident and begging that lotus pendent person to save Arundhati but it has changed. Today a completely different dream i dreamt which is shocking since it's first time.

*****************************

I got dressed in simple white kurta with yellow dupatta, which Bhanu choosed for me. I smile by looking at myself and i stop as i caught myself smiling like idiot. I walk to garden area which was decorated for haldi. There was two huge pots were kept on stage and see through white cloth was drapped between them blocking eachother's view. As soon maa sa saw me she ushered me to right side and sat inside it. After few minutes i heard sound of anklets and i felt her presence, her addicting Sandalwood with rose smell before she enters scene. I took a deep breath in to control the urge to something. What i don't what to know.

She sat other side of curtain,she giggled at something her sister in law said. Her laugh is melodious which spreads warmth to heart,tightens my stomach,I want to loose myself in her melodious smiles but i won't. Maa sa did tilak for me and tied scared thread to my right wrist.Mrs.verma her grandmother did tilak for herand tiedsacred thread on her right wrist. Maa tooka very little haldi in mango leaves and applied it against my cheeks,arms and legs. Maa sa smiled brightly at me,i nod at her. Later one by one everyone applied haldi to me.

Later the bowl passed to other side to Bhanu,everybody moved otherside leaving me alone to my thoughts. I sighed deeply and turned otherside when i heard her melodious laughter. Maa was applying haldi over her cheeks,arms and legs. Her skirt was again lifted till her knees showing a good amount of her skin. I twist my lips in annoyance,anger, why does she have to show her skin so much? I frowned at my thoughts. It should not bother me but it does that something that everyone can see her,something about her bothers me.

Maa applied a lot of haldi on her unlike me. Bhanu smiled brightly,everything turned out,my attention completely zeroed on her,she laughed,moved in slow motion or i am seeing it like that. Haldi spread across her porcelain cheeks,her petite body glowed. She giggled as someone took too much haldi and rubbed it all over face,neck. She drowned in haldi her porcelain skin turned yellow due. Someone even applied on her back,she growled loudly. She was looking like cute little yellow monster. Laughter broke out but my attention was completely on her. My eyes follow Bhanu's every movement,i physically unable to keep my attention of her. Slowly she's becoming more than a promise to me.
