The power of love

chapter 14 - The Proposal

i was waiting for Amarnath's arrival. i'm scared even to think about this. it was everything like a dream that was happening around. i hope he succeeds. suddenly i heard the knock on the door. i ran very fast thinking it might be Amarnath, when i opened it was grandpa

grandpa: what is this sibani?? why did you opened the door in so hurry?

me: where did you go grandpa?

he showed me his hands in which there were bags.

me: oh! to buy medicines. you could have told me na grandpa. i would bring it

grandpa: its fine. i know you are tensed about Amarnath. so i didn't disturb you.

granny: but its taking long time. he should have come by now. everything is going fine right???

me: please granny. don't think negatively. he must be fine

grandpa: why are you so concerned about him?

me: because i love him so much

Amarnath: really?

Amarnath stood by door by then. i blushed. tears started flowing

me: oh god! you are safe. did everything go well?? what about Ambareesh

his face was very sad. i could understand that it was very hard for him to kill his own brother

Amarnath: he is dead.

me: what about that sword? it was sword of what???

granny: first let him come in sibani. you are asking thousands of questions. let him take breathe first

me: i'm sorry

Amarnath: its okay. i'm fine

grandpa: first go inside and take rest. we can talk later

me: yeah please. however we have to leave tomorrow morning. you take some rest

Amarnath: no sibani. you go i'll come later

me: what? why? is everything fine? did something happen?

granny: let us talk later gudiya. let him take rest first.

i took him inside. he felt very tired and sad too.

me: you take rest. we will talk later 

Amarnath: sure.

he slept in some time. i came out of room. i wanted to know everything that happened but now the time didn't seem right. Amarnath really need rest. so i kept my curiosity aside and let him sleep.evening when he woke up and came outside he felt fresh but the sadness on his face remained like before.i could understand how much his brother meant to him.though he lied and hide many things from me at that moment i forgiven him for everything. all i needed was he to be safe and he is now i think so...

he narrated the total story. it was very sad. even i shed tears. it was very hard to a brother and father to kill his own brother and son. but still for the safety of human they did.i felt very proud of Amarnath. later when we had our dinner, my grandparents went to sleep. so it was just me and Amarnath

Amarnath: thank you sibani

me: for what?

Amarnath: when my brother tried to kill me i was saved because of you

me: because of me??

Amarnath: yes. father sir because the power of love i got saved. when i asked it he said that the power of love is from sibani. she loves you so much that her love made you remain alive
