The Night Destiny Burned This story belongs to me. Before it became a story... it was my life. My name is Mahira. Some call me Mahi. I live in Dehradun with my Dida. People say I survived a tragic car accident when I was eight years old. They call it a miracle. I call it a lie. September 20, 2003, was the night my life split into before and after. We were driving through an empty highway when I saw her. A woman in a red saree is standing in the middle of the road. Her hair was still, yet her saree moved as if breathing. Her eyes weren't reflecting light. They were glowing. She didn't look at the car. She looked at me. Papa jerked the steering wheel. Maa screamed. Metal crushed. Fire consumed everything. When I opened my eyes, I wasn't on the road anymore. I was lying in a dark forest. Alone. Unhurt. Alive. She stood before me again and whispered inside my mind: "You have been reborn. Destiny has been altered. He will return... and this time, he will take your soul." Three days later, they found me miles away from the crash site. No burns. No injuries. Doctors called it trauma. Police called it a shock. But I know what I saw. That night wasn't an accident. It was a beginning. And whatever took my parents... It's not done with me yet.

An emotional tale about karma, where the writer is destiny. **Note this is an original fiction story that I wrote in 2016, it uses the name of the characters from the show Sadda Haq, but it has nothing to do with the show apart from the names. You can read as if it's a regular novel. I almost got it published with original names. This one is VERY dear to my heart. It has MANY themes of spirituality and deep concepts about love.** "Your name will be on my dying lips," she whispered as she lay in the hospital bed, her lips chapped, her face pale. "All I will chant is your name. You are who I have lived for, and I will die remembering you too." "Please don't do this to me," I told her hoarsely, my voice cracked, for I knew that time was short. "If you go, what will I do here?" "Randhir, Randhir, Randhir," she whispered, and closed her eyes as her feeble body fell into a deep slumber. "Sanyukta," I said hoarsely, "Please wake up." She was slipping away from me, her breaths were getting slower. My time with her was limited, although eternity was what I wanted. "Sanyukta," I called out hopelessly, a longing ache in my chest. She had already dedicated her last breath to me, but I vowed that I would write off all the breaths I had left in her name. I had already hurt her too much in this lifetime. I took her hand in mine gently, rubbing small circles with my thumb on her soft skin. "From this moment, this Randhir Singh Shekhawat promises you Sanyukta Agarwal, that I will die to love you," I told her, feeling my eyes get wet. "Even if I am in a living hell, I will make sure I love you the right way. Everything I have belongs to you now... my mind, my body, my soul. It is all yours." As the first tears fell from the corners of my eyes, I noticed her lips curve upwards ever so slightly. It was almost as if she heard me. We never took marriage vows, but for some reason these dying vows felt more real than it could get.
