The Secret Of Rebirth(18+)

Chapter 35: Memories Of the Past

Kavya, with Vishaili by her side, stood at the entrance of the ancient palace, the echoes of her past life reverberating through the grand halls. The structure was magnificent, its towering walls and intricate carvings speaking of a time when gods walked the earth in human form. As they stepped through the entrance, the memories came flooding back, vivid and poignant.

The palace had once been Parvati's haven, a place where she had lived, loved, and laughed with Shiv. It was here that they had shared their most intimate moments, their deepest secrets, and their greatest joys. And it was here that their love story had begun-a story that had transcended time, life, and death.

As Kavya and Vishaili walked through the corridors, the memories became more vivid. Each step they took seemed to bring them closer to their past, to the lives they had once lived. Kavya could almost hear the soft laughter of Parvati and Vishaili echoing through the halls, feel the warmth of Shiv's presence as he watched over them with a protective gaze.

In the grand hall, where the light filtered through stained glass windows, casting colorful patterns on the marble floor, Kavya paused. She could see it now-the memory of Parvati and Shiv seated together, surrounded by friends and family, with Vishaili standing by Parvati's side. The three of them had shared an unbreakable bond, a connection that was as deep as it was sacred.

Vishaili, sensing the shift in Kavya's demeanor, looked at her with concern. "Parvati," she said softly, using the name that connected them to their past. "Itna kuch yaad aa raha hai. Lekin Shiv... mere bhai... kahaan hai?"

Kavya's heart tightened at the mention of Shiv. She had known this moment would come, that Vishaili would ask about her brother, about the man who was both her protector and her partner in every sense. But how could she tell Vishaili that Shiv was now Madhav, that he walked the earth in a different form, burdened by a curse that kept them apart?

Kavya hesitated, her mind racing. She wanted to share everything with Vishaili, to unburden her heart and reveal the truth. But she knew that it wasn't the right time. There were still too many unanswered questions, too many pieces of the puzzle that hadn't yet fallen into place.

"Vishaili," Kavya began, her voice gentle but firm. "Main tumse yeh sab chhupana nahi chahti. Lekin abhi, kuch baatein samay ke saath hi samajh aayengi. Shiv... woh hamesha humare saath hai, lekin uska roop badal gaya hai."

Vishaili's brow furrowed in confusion, but she trusted Parvati-trusted Kavya-with her life. She nodded slowly, sensing the weight of whatever burden Kavya was carrying. "Aap sahi keh rahi hai, Parvati. Main intezaar karungi. Jaise pehle kiya tha, main ab bhi aapka saath doongi, bina kisi sawal ke."

Kavya smiled, her heart swelling with gratitude and affection for her friend. "Tumhara saath hi meri taqat hai, Vishaili. Aur main jaanti hoon ki hum is baar bhi saath mein iss raah ko paar karenge."

They continued their walk through the palace, the memories growing stronger with each step. They saw the room where Parvati and Vishaili had spent countless hours talking, laughing, and planning for the future. They saw the garden where Shiv had often meditated, his presence serene and powerful.

But there was one place that held the most profound memories for Kavya-the chamber where Parvati and Shiv had first expressed their love for one another. As they approached the room, Kavya's breath caught in her throat. She could see it clearly in her mind-the flickering candlelight, the soft rustle of silk, the tender way Shiv had held her as he whispered words of love into her ear.

Vishaili, sensing the intensity of Kavya's emotions, placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Kya yaadein hai, Parvati?" she asked softly.

Kavya nodded, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. "Yeh jagah... yeh jagah hamesha mere dil ke kareeb rahi hai. Yahaan humne apni mohabbat ko pehchaana tha."

Vishaili smiled, her eyes filled with understanding. "Main samajh gayi, Parvati. Aur main yeh bhi samajhti hoon ki kuch baatein apne andar hi rakhni padti hai, jab tak waqt sahi na ho."

Kavya squeezed Vishaili's hand, grateful for her wisdom and patience. "Tum bilkul sahi keh rahi ho, Vishaili. Aur woh waqt bhi jaldi aayega."

As they left the palace, Kavya felt a renewed sense of purpose. She knew that the journey ahead would be difficult, filled with challenges and sacrifices. But with Vishaili by her side, and with the memories of her past to guide her, she was ready to face whatever destiny had in store.

And though she hadn't yet revealed the truth about Shiv to Vishaili, she knew that the day would come when all secrets would be laid bare, and they would stand together, united in their love and loyalty, just as they had in their previous life.
