The Veiled Hearts

🌹Serenity 🔪

After Yash told Tanya to go out from the washroom,she opened her eyes and saw red heat filled orbs. She didn't had the audacity to make another below the belt remarks after seeing Yash's face with red bulging eyes. Tanya understood Yash is like a modern-day Jekyll and Hyde, exhibiting a charming and kind demeanor when lights are wrapped around while succumbing to violent and reckless behavior when darkness comes to play.

Without saying any word ,she came out of the shower.Taking a towel from the wrack ,dried herself.Quickly dressed murmuring,"Asshole"and walked out of the basement throwing the towel on the floor.Yash was still standing under getting himself fully wet .He kept both his hands on the front wall and head down , looking at the floor .The water streamed from the back of his head all the way to his spine and within no time he clenched his right hand into fist and hit the wall, saying,"Where is she? Who was she? Where did she come from? I am not able to find single answer to these questions since last 10days,".

In the next 2days Yash will onboard the flight for America. He knows if he asks his father's help to find her he will dig deeper and make her live the rest of her life there as she is the diversion for his son's future. Yash was ready for heated conversation with his dad but he knew his dad was right she is his serene diversion.

He started to remember the morning he was in Kashi 10days ago .When his family and friends were busy looking around the beauty of the temple. A girl crossed him whispering her fragrance.Yash filled his soul with that aroma and felt like its his ethereal cure. The scent started fading away, making him feel to lock the smell to feed his soul .Yash turned around to look at the core of the serende Of scent.

His eye fell on a girl's back with a pinkish saree,small roses made on it ,he knew she was the source of fragrance devine. He started following her ,after a while he saw she stopped .Yash also stopped by maintaining a distance from her back but still wasn't able to look at her face.He saw her head turned towards the banks of Ganga ghat.She started taking her steps towards the river.

She kept her worship plate on a sitting bench, then picked the end piece of her saree over her head and started walking towards the edge of Ganga. Yash was standing behind her back at comfortable distant. He knew this where he needs to draw the line ,before she yells at him of being stalker at 4am in the morning . So he sat on the sitting bench where she kept her worship plate and started eating her blessed god food while watching her getting submerged in water showing her back .She started chanting mantras which were like faint sounds to his ears ,but felt like someone hushed the turbulent brain infused with Money and Power.

Yash started to count how many times she submerged herself in the Ganga river. Yash,"one, two, three,fou___" His counts were disrupted when a voice from a guy in his mid 20's devilishly giggled with lustful remarks. That guy was standing 5 steps away from the ganga river.Yash watched this scene by sitting on the bench which was placed in front of that taunter but a few steps far straight from him.He knew his giggles and remarks must be reaching her ears but what stunned him that her placid aura in Ganga and chanting mantras without twitching any muscle of her back which was facing Yash and the teaser.

The moment her mantras towards sun god got perfected .She asked for blessings from God adjoining her hands above her head.She started emerging from the river.Yash's eyes fell on her wet dress making him remember a poem written long ago,

'In the twilight glow, her beauty untamed,
With each gentle step, her spirit unframed.
A figure of freedom, both wild and serene,
In the dance of the water, a timeless queen.'

He sighed heavyly but his eyes fell on that devil who was subtracting his steps towards her. He knew what he had to do before she comes out . Yash took all the money out of his pocket without looking at the amount in his hand he walked fast towards him tapping his back ,making him turn around.Then with a devil smile ,Yash said to him in sinister whisper tone.

"YE PAISA LE KE SARAK LE, WARNA SUBHA TERA PARIWAR SHARAVAN MANAENGE,AUR RAAT KO TERA JANAZA UTHAENGE"

(Take the fucking money and go away,or you want an episode where your family celebrates sharavan festive in morning , and your funeral in evening? ).

That guy got scared seeing Yash siniful eyes . He didn't even bother to take money and ran away from there. Yash saw him running away by turning his head back and then he saw his family and friends coming towards the bank closer to that girl. He didn't know how to stop them from seeing her in this condition. He felt at that moment to lock out the people present in the temple just to protect her serenity.But he knew it's hard to keep his family and friends away.

He tried to look around for anything or anyone that could protect her.Just then his eyes fell on his own clothes. He knew his friends would come to him if they saw him having fun and his family and bodyguards would also come along for protection.

Yash quickly kept money on the floor, he then take out his sherwani stole and hold it in his mouth. He then took off his kurta and kept it on the floor . The only thing left is his pajama with boxers on his body. He smirked while looking at himself ,asking himself why he is standing with a half-bared body at 4am in the morning for a stranger?, whose face he didn't saw,whose identity is still a question.

He looked up after seeing his condition,as the first light of dawn broke, she was standing showing her back, gently drying her hair. The warm rays of the rising sun streamed in, illuminating each drop of water into gold casting out from her hair while her hair danced in her fingers. In that moment, she seemed to embody the very essence of morning, a radiant vision of beauty as the world awoke around her.

Yash sighed and said " Uffff!!! ".He took the stole in his right hand and started running towards her .Yash murmured to himself,"If you turn around and i see your face I am dead,If you don't turned around and i don't see your face I will die everyday".

Yash reached back of her and he heard his friends coming to join him in the water. He knew he didn't have much time .He saw her wet saree and blouse clung to her making him feel like why he is human in this life. He could have become cloth of her saree.

As the footsteps of his families and friends started to become audible to him.She looked at them when Yash's friends were screaming to join him in Ganga river and that moment she was going to turn around to look at him.Yash quickly draped the stol around her before she sees his face and whispered something that would make her cheeks burn so that next time she'll be careful and alert . She again tried to turn around to give Yash a reply for his remarks just then a tiny drop of water fell on his face.

Yash smiled without flinching away from the drop and soon jumped in the water , a few steps away from her .He thanked the god who made him witness that serenity can also be in a single drop of GANGA .He showed his back to her and submerged himself in Ganga .
