Destiny - an untold love story.

Another chance for life.

"naani... i think saptharishi dialed a wrong number and grant someone else's wish to you..." - Radhika chuckled while passing her kurthi and denim jeans to her. but anika's face turned down on seeing her young-self before the mirror. she released her tightly held fist where her mind can able to remember the moment when her husband shiv held her hand first time when he came to her village for a tourist visit. she remembers everything like it happened on yesterday. it was hate at first sight moment for both.

it was the time when the simple mass communication device named radio with AM bandwidth reached almost every nook and corner of the country. where 20 years old shiv came to a small village named badlur in the interior of Maharashtra state to educate the people around about Anand Milk union private limited as poverty reached its peak due to the lack of rain in India by that time. so shiv along with his friends came to that village for doing social service. they also got permission from the village sarpanch to educate the men over there about the AMUL plan for the welfare of the village.

shiv along with his three friends reached the entrance of the village. their welcome becomes complete when shivaay's Benz lime squash's headlight was hit by a stone. he immediately stopped the car and look around where the anger reached his head. he spotted a girl with 2 braids staring them from behind the tree. her chocolate brown eyes stored well in his memory. 

while fuming inside he straightly went to sarpanch ji's house and complained about that girl to him, he assumed that she broke his headlight and asked sarpanch ji to punish her. at that spot, he gathered the meeting and requested all the kids from the village to assemble there. upto his surprise the girl who he saw also presented in that place.

"Sir, can you able to tell me who broke your car's headlight?" - sarpanch ji asked him, without even thinking for a while he pointed his finger towards the 16 years girl where she widened her chocolate brown eyes in shock.

sarpanch ji called her in the middle where she nodded no with teary eyes, but the people pushed her in the middle.

"anika devi... did you break sir's car headlight?" - the sarpanch ji asked her, he was sounding like thunder. she jerked in shock, her eyes got welled up in fear.

"ANIKA... answer me..." - he again yelled at her. she immediately closed her eyes and nodded yes while her tears drop fell on the dry soil of the village. shiv's heart slightly pinched him for his doings.

"WHY YOU DID?"- sarpanch ji asked her. 

"by... by mis..mis..mistake" - she told while tightly closing her eyes. 

"bring that" - sarpanch ji yelled and someone handed him a stick. shiv's eyes got widened in shock when he saw that long bamboo stick in sarpanch's hand. anika forwarded her hand while tightly.

"EVERYONE COUNT"- sarpanch ji ordered and he hit her hand. 

"one" - the crowd shouted where shiv's heart pinched him for his fault. the count went till 20, shiv's heart can't even able to bear that after that. 

"STOP"- he yelled after the 20th count. sarpanch ji stopped after that and let her free. she ran towards the house where the sarpanch ji again said sorry and the crowd got dismissed. shiv searched for her and found her crying near the tree. 

he went towards her where she was sobbing while hugging her knees. his heart melted on seeing her in that position, soon he went towards his car and took the first-aid kit and led his way towards her. 

without making any sound he sat next to her where she kept on crying. he slowly took her hand on his, she got in the jerk. she tried to protest but he wasn't ready to leave her hand. he held her hand as he owns them. she felt like his touch did some magic her.
