The Warrior

Part 5

She was still viewing outside the small window of the train. Her lovely eyes were always waiting for him, her heart and mind belonged to him.

She knew she was hurting herself and her family but she could not pretend. This was the way she felt and her heart always has a burden of not meeting him even once.

She wanted to keep him with herself all the time and this was the only way. She would fight against crime as he used to.

The train reached a small station... Aarti looked at her bag and saw a packet of chips. She thought of eating when her eyes fell on the black jacket. All she could see was a black jacket.

Same physique, same hair. No she thought. It's just her imagination. She wants to see him and that's why she feels him around all the time.

But in the last few years she did not even took his name in front of anyone, since she has promised him.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath... As the wind blow her long black hair changed way towards her beautiful face...

Kirti was still thinking about Aarti decision.

"Do you think this job is right for her?" Kirti asked while Vikram was busy with files around him.

Kirti was annoyed at him this time "I am talking to you Vikram."

He glanced once "I know...I am listening"

"No, you are not" she said and left indignantly.

Vikram kept his hand on his head "these sisters will make me mad one day"

It was late evening...

Rama was looking at Aarti's picture "she was so naughty here..." smiled

"You know Manmohan she used to tease Kirti so much" she continued glancing at the picture...

She remembered how she used to stop Aarti from talking so much and doing silly things around but now she wants her daughter to come to life. With tears in her eyes Rama walked towards Kirti's room...

"I want to talk to you" Rama said...

Kirti was putting her dresses nicely in her wardrobe when she looked at her mother who had been crying since Aarti left "Mom... what's wrong with you?"

"You are going to settle down soon with Vikram, but I am worried for Aarti" she sobbed

Kirti condoled her mother "mom Aarti is a strong girl, she is fine. Please don't worry so much and I am sure one day she will settle with someone"

Rama nodded "I don't think so..."

She looked at Kirti "tell me honestly...was there anyone in her life?"

Kirti never wanted to tell her mother anything because she herself wasn't sure, Aarti never told her anything "I am not sure Mom. But I only think."

Rama was waiting for her to complete

"Aarti was in trouble once in college, a guy saved her. But he was rusticated from the college, and since then Aarti has changed..." Kirti said

Rama thought something "did she like him?"
