HIS BEAUTIFUL ARDHANGINI

Standing by the window, Siya stared at the sky with empty eyes- a sky glittering with countless stars, yet dull,
as if reflecting her own restless thoughts.

"Hame pyaar karna to sikha diya aapne, Raghav ji,
lekin aapke bina zindagi kaise guzarni hai...
yeh aap sikhana bhool gaye."

Saying this, she wiped away the lone tear that had escaped her eyes.

Lying on the terrace floor, Raghav stared at the same sky.
No moon. Only stars.

"Hamari haalat bhi is aasman jaisi ho gayi hai, biwi sahiba,
hazaaron sitare hone ke bawajood,
ek chaand ke bina sab feeka pad jaata hai."

He slowly sat up, staring into nothingness.
His eyes brimmed with an unbearable pain-
one only he could understand.

"Laut aaiye, Siya..."
he murmured, his voice heavy with longing.

Two pure hearts, bound by an arranged marriage.
Two souls who found their home in each other.
Now breaking apart in each other's absence.

Every minute, every second,
their souls called out to one another-
but there was no one to listen.

What happened between them?
