So ......what IS RAJ's REACTION? LETS SEE
____________________________________________
Adiraj's POV,
The night was short lived. Spending it with intoxicants, worth forgetting her, just made me crave for her more. The more I tried to get myself away from her the more, the more I inch towards her, her existence, her gorgeousness, her ethnicity, her, JUST HER. We were far away, very far away from each other, yet the red string of fate pulls us together until the distance is minimal between us.
Vague memories of last night happenings were blurring my vision with a throbbing headache. I was certainly not sure if I had actually gone to her tent, and done all those or..
Getting myself a cold bath, I exited my tent as I walked towards her. My heart almost coming out of me, I stood there, motionless, concluding whether I should enter and ask her, or just ignore the fact. Before I could comprehend, she emerged, wearing a royal pink Kanjivaram silk. Her hair looking incomplete without flowers, and the urge to let her tightly held hair loose, making them cascade below her shoulders were making me flustered. Red coloured my cheeks as yester night happenings came running back to me. I wanted her to react, say something, scold me of my pervertness but what she said made me all the more sure that I did, kiss her , that too on her jaw. Shit.
"I .....am .....sorry...."
Was all I could muster up and say. I didn't know what to say. It was her who suffered. It was her who must be feeling dirty, her who must be hating me. Tears brimmed my eyes on my guilt. I felt what a thief must be feeling at that point. I was going to walk away when she stopped me.
"You promised me yesterday night that you won't ignore me anymore...then why are you walking away...we will be reaching today...are you going to pretend I don't exist all day..?"
I took a deep breath and turned to look at her. Not wanting to accept the fact that she was going away, we both, on two different directions of Hindustan.I gained my courage to ask her,
"What did I do? Last night?"
"Forget about that...you asked for forgiveness, and I did...now you tell me..how do I look?"
For some reason, her speech made me even more teary. I tried my best to gulp down the lump forming on my throat. I said again, repeating it again,
"You still have time, Lotus...Let's return...don't go.."
She shook her head slowly as she smiled and said,
"Our memories are enough to make you not miss me...we spent a month together Kunwarsa...One day a wanderer goes back to where they are destined to be.."
"You can write your own Destiny..."
"You can write anew, but cannot change destiny.. Kunwarsa...what meant to happen will happen..."
I just chuckled and agreed with her.
"You know it's difficult to argue with you..."
She just gave me that stomach flipping smile. I just nodded and asked the other to start the journey again. As the entourage continued I slipped out and went deep into the forest. Putting my palm against the trunk I let the tears flow, silently, they just fell. I felt deterred. Left out with zero importance. I was crying for a woman, a damn woman, who was nothing to me when her fate wasn't tied to mine, now that she had tied our fates together, I cannot untie the knot she made. She just tore her and walked away, leaving the remaining knotted string with mine. Leaving parts, memories and the lingering traces of her deep within my heart. I took a deep breath before wiping my tears away as a shayari hit me. I had learned Urdu because my Bhabisa spoke it. She was the one who taught me.
हर मोहब्बत करने वाले को (The one who loves)
मोहब्बत मिले ये जरूरी तो नहीं, (Will get the one they love, is not important)
तुमसे मोहब्बत हो गयी मुझे, (I fell for you)
किसी और को उस नज़र से देखूं, ( And seeing someone else the same way)
ये भी जरूरी तो नहीं, (That, is also not important)
तुम्हारी मोहब्बत मिली ( I got your love)
ये कोई कम है क्या, ( it's not minimal for me)
अब ज़िन्दगी भर का साथ मिले, (Spending my whole life with you)
ये जरूरी तो नहीं, ( Is not important either)
यादों में एक शख्स रहेगा ताउम्र, ( In your memories will I stay forever)
उन यादों से निकाल दूंगा तुम्हें, ( Will I push you out of my thoughts )
ऐसा कभी होगा नहीं, ( That, will never ever happen)
दर्द तो होगा दिल को बहुत तेरे जाने के बाद, (It will pain, once you go away)
लेकिन सबको मोहब्बत में मोहब्बत मिले, (But everyone getting the one they love)
ये जरूरी तो नहीं. (That. is not important )
As I steadied myself I ran back to the entourage covering my absence.
After a tiresome journey through the woods, some on the horseback dome by foot we finally entered the gates of Venkatesh Garh. The hollowness in me grew and at that point, I promised myself, I will forget her and move on. I will marry the girl my Bhaisa chooses for me. If I do not get her this time, then I will never get her in the six lives remaining. We both were never meant to be together and we will never be. She is Nallasivan Saundarya Chakravarty not Saundarya Vijaya. She was right, we can write out new destiny but we cannot change what is going to happen.
