Paschyatap ~ Repenting Thy Sins

" If one commits a sin but repents truthfully then thy sins are forgiven. "

It was supposed to end up like this, Anwesha or so as she was known among her peers wasn't born with shackles of duty or sacrifice. She had embraced them on her own for the sake of her nation.

Yet one mission gone wrong, she ends up in the darkwaters of the Ganges in the famous gangatic peninsula. Trying to resurface she is caught in a whirlpool and as her ending nears, she accepts death like an old friend.

But she doesn't die. But here, she cannot live as well. She is a misfit in this timeline. A piece of coal in a chest of gold.

She is no one special or important. She is not God's friend or cousin. Neither is she his favorite. She was his accident. And she tries to redeem that by trying to return to her place of belonging. Yet it seems impossible, she can't find a way.

But no, she is trapped. She can't return and so she decides on the role of a silent spectator yet fate had it's own plans. Getting involved with the Scions of Kuru wasn't exactly her plan, yet she did, unfortunately.

Now, will she be able to cope with her new life or find a way back? What if they don't want or let her?

But, among all the question of questions-
Who is she in reality? And why her?
After all, coincidence is not the way of the world nor the lord of the world's.
