"Sshhhhh....." he hushed and pinned us against the wall leaving no space between us. I held onto his biceps with my hand in reflex. He shook his head lightly signalling me not to scream. But did not remove his palm, awaiting confirmation I guessed. I nodded a little locking eyes with him fearfully. I witnessed a glimmer in his eyes and he removed his palm from my mouth slowly. I mustered up a little strength and asked nervously. "Kon hai aap aur yahan kya kar rhe hain," His eyes softened, looking deep into my eyes as if he could see through them as if he owned them. A strong wind surfaced, pulling away the fabric and revealing his face. It was him. My heartbeats raced wildly. He flickered his gaze to my lips for a few seconds, licked his lower lip a little with an unreadable emotion and peered back deeply into my eyes, delving into my soul. He replied in the raw, masculine and resonating voice I had heard months before. "Daksh naam hai hamara. Vivaah karne aaye hai aapse," *** I could not believe my eyes that he was standing right in front of me. The day I walked away from him, with a swarm of butterflies in the depths of my guts and belly, I never considered the possibility of crossing our paths again. I never thought we would get another chance in this life. Was it a wise decision of me to run away back then like that? The moments we shared back then flashed back into my memory. I started wondering if this was a coincidence or if he purposely located me. *** This is the love story of Daksh Pratap Rathore and Radhika Maan Singh. Storyline occurs in early years of 21st century(2001). A love saga bridging the gap between a city-born man and a village-raised girl. They are soulmates longing for love and solace from each other in different parameters. Let us dive into their journey of togetherness, and internal conflicts and see if and how they find solace with each other. First 2 chapters can be descriptive but I'm sure you'll like the story further.

"Do you know, Guruma told me how much she likes me being there." Thirteen year old Meenakshi spoke about her new life. "She is absolutely right. Having you around is like having our blessings around." Chitrama said, as she slowly massaged her bruised arms. "Who would not like you?" She asked, her question rhetorical. "My parents." Meenakshi whispered, making Chitrama look at her. She smiled softly at her, as she saw the little girl becoming a woman. "Does you feet not hurt you?" She asked diverting her attention. They were bruised from walking on the rocks and climbing trees. "No ma. I am used to the pain." Meenakshi said, making Chitrama's heart weep. "One day, you shall be cherished dear, so much that all this pain will be worth it." She said, caressing her soles, before she bandaged them. "I don't have any such expectations ma. And I don't wish to." She said, before she walked to the bathing area.

Highest rank #3 on whodidit on 11/05/18 "Life is a flight of Icarus, if you fly high; you burn, if you fly low you sink. Staying away from both ice and fire is near impossible. Decide what you're going to do, since you're already inside the labyrinth. Either; you can fly with me, I'll give you the wings of wax and feathers or you can wait here for the death to come. Ah, anyways I promise you no better chance at living, but at least, you'll die a free soul, isn't that better? Don't look at me like that, as if you read more than there is written, as if you can see beyond my face or beneath my eyes...no, stay away, there is no need to come closer. I feel nothing! I don't want to feel anything! Why do you laugh? What's funny? You don't believe I'm a monster? Fine, your problem; don't tell me I didn't warn you before. Leave; run; hide; whatever! Just don't break my walls. It hurts to feel again, it hurts to cool off...I like burning, I like fire, just stay away, stay safe. What have you done to me? You were my ace, my pawn, my weapon, why am I suddenly acting like your shield? Break this charm, break it right now... The last thing I want is to fall in love! Don't forget...not for a moment, that you're Icarus and I am your sun. Stay away, stay safe!" "A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it" Oscar Wilde A woman convicted for murdering her love... A man forsaken by his family.... Both with dark pasts, broken hearts and bitter souls, thrown together in to a battle of wits, egos, hearts and desires... Will they end up saving each other or dueling to death? After all life is a flight of Icarus, a moment of lost balance, a moment of ignorance is all between destiny and death. Cover credits to @lucky03m
