"I have a fascination for eyes. So I found her eyes perfect for Subhadra as it is extremely beautiful and holds a different depth in it. I know I am sounding crazy but I feel her persona held childishness and maturity both at the same time making her a right choice."
"Thank you all for your love and support."
Everyone gasped after realizing the fact that this is indeed true. They have their fair share of arguments but it never turned into something other than the clash of thoughts. Everyone was looking bewildered unaware of the context of this relationship. This sudden change of events made Sulabh distressed.
"Enough" he shouted making everyone still.
"Drama is about to happen in the auditorium. So strop creating a scene here and leave" he continued.
Instead of dispersing students started murmuring standing still.
"I guess it is enough entertainment for today. So we prefer to be left alone" it is Shivang this time. He knew Sulabh don't like the crowd around him. Neither has he preferred to be a part of such showbiz.
Subhra was in the locker room collecting her belongings when someone informed her of this ongoing fiasco. She is completely aware of the feud between the duo. She knew they won't cross their limits but still can't take any chance. She took her bag and left for them. When she reached the place she heard both Sulabh and Shivang urging everyone to leave the spot. She requested everyone to leave and turned towards them.
"We seriously need to talk" Shivang spoke looking at Sulabh intently. He was fully aware of the changing dynamics of their relationship. There was a time when they were close friends almost inseparable from each other.
He still remembers when they first met on the occasion of Sulabh birthday. Shivang's father is a manager in Sulabh's father firm. They admire the honesty and dedication of Shivang's father and consider him a part of their family. So on a fine evening on invitation and insistence, he takes Shivang with him to Sulabh's birthday party.
Shivang being an asocial child stands in a corner of the hall during a party while his father is busy talking with his boss. And there for the first time, he noticed Sulabh hidden behind the curtains away from everyone's sight. Both smiled at each other being fully aware of the uneasiness they are feeling in the crowd. Sulabh took him to the terrace secretly away from everyone's sight. When their parents found them they were slept keeping their heads on each other on the terrace.
That day their epic friendship began.
But after their higher secondary exams, Sulabh went to his grandmother's home to visit them and when he came back their college already started and so does their differences. Sulabh changed his course and started distancing himself. Day by day his grudge keeps increasing and kept coming in front of him in the form of his taunts.
"Guys! What happened this time? Sulabh what you said to him again" Subhra asked breaking their stare.
"Subhra your father must be waiting so you should leave now," Shivang told coming out of his trance. He noticed Sulabh is staring at Subhra with anger-filled eyes.
"But Shiv you told me you will come with me to Ganga Ghat today. And he is...."Subhra continued looking towards Sulabh.
"Subhra some other time today I am busy. You should leave now" he repeated pressing each word.
Subhra left unwillingly a lit bit worried, hurt, and tensed all at the same time. She kept wondering"What happened to her Shiv today?"He never refuses her plus what he has to do with Sulabh.
"Meanwhile in Kailas"
"Everyone is sitting patiently waiting for the food. Mahadev was smiling at the eager stare of his gunas who after the Yuga hold the same eagerness for his Annapurna's food. Every pot filled with different kind of food items are placed in front of them but there is no sign of her. Everyone has a hard time waiting.
"Shivaa" he called lovingly when he saw her walking towards them holding a big metal plate in her hands. Smile adorning her beautiful lips making the whole universe a little happier. For him, she is his entire cosmos so his every emotion starts with her and ends at her.
"Parvati give it to me. Why are you holding such a heavy plate? You should ask someone to do it for you. What if you got hurt?" he rambled at his wife taking the plate from his wife whose hands are tender than the petals of a flower.
"Swami" She hummed laughing softly making the nature dance.
"Your Shakti is capable of holding it" she continues relishing the fondness of her husband. These are the moments she esteemed even after Yuga of their camaraderie.
"I know my Shakti is capable of holding the entire cosmos in her but my Gauri is delicate more than a lotus" he keeps on saying.
It is when he noticed a small bruise on her finger. "How and when it happened?" He contemplated at her appalling worry and concern laced in his voice.
"It is nothing swami just a small cut. It will be fine in no time" she replied watching him fondly. Mahadev traces her finger healing her wound. He is aware of her strength but a scratch on her and he becomes distressed.
"Swami now sit have your lunch. Everyone is waiting" she suggested mildly.
"So what turned these two epic friends into rivals? What is the reason behind Sulabh's behavior?"
"And many of you were thinking what Shiva and Shakti have to do with their lives?"
"All these answers lie ahead in the upcoming. So stay tuned folks and keep showering your love on this story"
"Do vote and comment. Keep me updated with your take on this story."
"Stay safe stay happy. Take care :):)"
