Chapter 9~ A Red String of Fate

A Red String of Fate

There's a Chinese proverb
That says that a red string of Fate
Connects those who are supposed to meet
At some point in their lives.

It is said that
These two people connected by the thin red
Are destined lovers-
Their little bit of Fate
Might get tangled
And stretched
And beaten,
But it never will break.

Through circumstances and time.
Fate will see them together in the end.

I'm not sure
If I believe this completely,
Only because I feel as if
It is far more
Then just one string of Fate
That keeps us connected -
Rather it's hundreds of millions.

Creating a tangled landscape of red
That is constantly

Pulling
And
Pulling
And
Pulling

Me closer to you,
Fulfilling the desires
Of a million different fates.

"Abhianv ap mery sath chal rahy hain ya nhe..." Akshara asked in commanding tone while putting her hands on her hips.

"Akshara ap ko pta hai na g main in sub cheezo mean nhe manta.. phr ap kun mojhy zabrdasti ly jana chahti hain or wo b Dargha... Akhr humra whan kia kaam g?" Since they left the library, Abhinav has tried a third time to reason with his adamant bestie.

"Ary btayia tu hai.. Ayesha ny bola hai k whan hr mannat pori ho jati hai tu bus main b mannat mangna chahti hun. Or jagha sy kia fark parta hai... Sub jaghen apni ki hee hain.."

Akshara was irked by his constant denial, but she couldn't afford to go without him.

(Not this time... not there)

"Mgr ap janti hain Akshara. Main kisi baghwan/khuda/parmatama ko nhe manta. Agr esa khuch hota tu aj mera wajood mery lea swalyia nishaan na hota g!" Abhinav said in a teary voice, pinching Aksharas' heart.

"Abhinav main samjhti hun ap ka dard. Lekin agr us ny hum say khuch lia hai tu humy badly mean boht khuch dia bhi hai. Kia humary lea ak dosry ka sath kafi nhe hai? Kia main or Prachi ap kay dost nhe hain?

Ap tu hamesha positive rehny ki baat krty hain tu phr esi negativity kun.. !

Theek hai main ap ko force nhe krun gi.. Agr ap sach mean nhe jana chahty tu.. Main akely hee pahdi py chali jaun gi"

Akshara threw her last card knowing her best friends' protective nature.

"Pahdi py! Dargha upper pahdi py hai..! (Shocked) Or ap whan akely jany ka soch rahen hain? Akshara ap ko kia ho gya hai g. Main ap ko bilkul b akely jany nhe dun ga!" Abhinav looked horrified at the reveal.

"Tu theek hai phr ap mery sath chalyie. Kun ky Dargha tu aj main ja kr rahun gi." Akshara said, sneaking at his changing expressions.

"Nhe.. Main ap ko akely bilkul bhi nhe jany dun ga g.. Prachi b yahn nhe hai.. Abhi ghar chalyie kl sobha prachi k sath chaly jayie ga..

Wasy b abhi dophar ho rahi hai whan sy atty atty ap ko shaam ho jae gi. Or ye phadi rasty.. ye ap kay bus ki baat nhe hain g.." Abhinav tried to put sense in her mind again.
