FROM GANGES TO PACIFIC (LOVE IS BEYOND DESTINY

"I was shocked when he proposed me to marry him, standing on the bank of Ganga Maiyya, digging his brown hazel eyes into mine. I was not in my senses, unable to understand the whole situation. How.....how can it be possible? How can I marry him? I love someone else. I can't deceive my love....no.....never. I'll have to deny him.

"Nahi ham aapse shadi nahi kar sakte. Ham kisi aur se pyar karte hai ", I said to him without any hesitation in my words. Without listening to his reply, I turned to leave, but he hold my hand pulling me towards him and hugged me tightly from back side.

"Shadi to aap hamse hi karengi, hame aapki Ganga Maiyya Ki Saugandh", His hard, heavy tone cracked into my ears, making my spine to shiver, and my cheeks turned crimson red.

"I was restlessly sitting on the boat floating in The Ganges. The boat driver, sitting at my front was moving the oars into the water with a gentle pace, making the sound of splash to echo in my ears. We were a little far from the river bank. The sun was about to set, appearing red orange, spreading its rosiness in sky. Suddenly the splash of water was replaced by a song....

{O sajna dilwa ke hmra tu chor lagela
O sajna dilwa ke tu hmra chor lagela}

"I gestured the boat driver to run fast, and soon we were at the bank. The sound of the song was loud and clear now."

{Solaha singar karni tohrela sawriya
Ek baar dekha ba to ho jayi babriya}

"I quickly went of the boat and started in the direction from where the song was echoing. I stopped suddenly, when I saw her twirling on the lyrics in her orange color anarkali suit, and the sound of her ghungroos echoed in my ears, making my heart to dissolve in her beauty and innocence."

{Jab se milalanbate toh se nyanawa
Har or tu hi lavka tara o sajanwa}
{Jaisan sochali rahnio oh se bejod lagela
Jaisan sochali rahnio oh se bejod lagela}

"I came here to search for my mother, but unknowingly I found her."
