His brow creased and eyes quivered with the sudden invasion of light. He slowly opened his eyes. He found her removing the curtains of their room.
His eyes have the morning drool, still a smile played across his lips. The room is filled with her sweet fragrance. Her wet hair is falling on her back. The freshness of her face, the purity of her presence made his day.
He has never seen such a beautiful morning before. He wants such blissful mornings everyday.
What could be more beautiful than this?
Today life reached on his door in such a heavenly way. He never knew before that happiness is that much extreme. He didn't find even a bit of darkness inside his chest. He felt complete.
"Good morning doll..."
He said in a groggy voice.
She rewarded him instantly with her precious smile.
"Good morning...."
She is damn shy!
He drank her innocence with his thirsty eyes.
"Come here..."
He showed her the bed. She is looking again nervous.
"Do i look like a lion or tiger?"
He teased her. She smiled and tugged few of her wet locks behind her ear.
His eyes instantly got clouded with passion. How badly he wants to touch her locks.
She slowly walked towards the bed. He is continuously staring at her every move. He never knew that he can get addicted to something like that.
She sat awkwardly. Then she slowly met his intense gaze.
"Tell me something...what I used to do in the morning?"
Her face covered with happiness instantly. He has noticed this thing about her. She is comfortable in talking about his previous version.
"We both went to the garden to see the new flowers...We used to have our breakfast in the garden...then we used to take care of the plants...we spent hours in gardening...."
"Really?"
He always love flowers but he never did the gardening before. So it amuses him in some way that he used to do gardening with her.
"Then?"
"Then we played the cricket..."
"What? Cricket? I can't believe this.. I'm not a cricket fan....I love football"
She is really giving him some amazing and shocking infos.
"But you do...I didn't know how to play it but you taught me..."
"Really? By the way who used to win the game?"
He asked.
"Sometimes you...."
"Sometimes? That means you won majority of the time..."
He said being amused.
"I think you let me win deliberately...."
Pihu said very softly. His eyes sparkled with too many emotions. Their bond was really something.
"Why would I do that?"
He almost whispered. Their eyes got connected deeply.
"May be you didn't like my sad face"
She mumbled.
They both smiled looking at each other. He felt good after seeing her comfortable.
"Now get ready....We are getting late for Moti's wedding"
She stood up.
He chuckled. She is now behaving like a wife.
...........................
Pihu's pov
Moti is looking happy. She is now taking the Phera with her husband. The day of my marriage appeared in my mind. My eyes immediately landed on Rajababu who looked at me with a smile. Then suddenly he threw some flower on me.
I looked around. Noone should see this thing. I signalled him to not do this but he kept on throwing flower on me.
I immediately maintained some distance from him. Everyone knows that he is engaged to Myra mam. I don't want anyone to think something bad about him.
Suddenly my heart shifted to Renu di. I don't know what she is doing right now. I decided to call her. I came out of the temple and dialled her number. She didn't pick up the call. I hope she is fine.
"Is everything alright?"
I turned my head and find Rajababu. I nodded my head.
"Your mehendi is getting darker"
He held my hand and looked deeply. My eyes fell on his face. I always forget about everything after seeing his face.
I don't know how I'm going to stay away from him. I'm getting habituated with his proximity. Only Mahadev knows how I had spent that one year away from him.
He was always like a dream to me. I never dared to even imagine all these. But my fate had some other plans. I got married to him. Then we got separated. I don't know what else is waiting for me.
"Next time i want my name on your mehendi.."
My heartbeat increased. I want to feel happy but my heart is not allowing me. Only Myra mam's face is appearing in my mind.
He held my both hands and suddenly he kissed my hands.
An electric jolt ran through my body. He is looking at me with a soft smile. We are standing so close. I felt butterflies in my stomach. I lowered my eyes.
"Let's go to the Ghat..."
He started to walk holding my hand like this. My heart swirled with so many emotions. I want him to hold me like this. I want his presence. I have suffered enough. Now I don't want anymore pain.
We reached the Ghat. The Ganga arati will start any minute.
We sat in a corner. The Arati finally started. We both joined our hands. We saw the priests performing the Arati. I prayed to Ganga Maiya for Rajababu's safety, for my Renu di and her little angel's safety.
When the Arati got over, Rajababu stood up by holding my wrist. We reached near the holy water.
"I want to flow a Diya here...I want to make a wish.."
Rajababu said to me. He took the oil lamp and turned towards me.
"I want my doll in my life...I want her to stay with me forever"
Tears gathered into my eyes. My lips quivered after hearing his wish.
Did Mahadev really write this happiness in my fate?
He placed the oil lamp in the water and immediately it started to float. We both watched it going far away from us. Still it's light is on.
"Look....it has crossed the Har Ki Pauri..."
Rajababu showed me. I smiled broadly.
Then he turned towards me.
"I only want you...Please, accept me Pihu...Please hold my hand...I can face any difficulty by holding your hand.."
I have lost my speech. The lump in my throat stopped in speaking a word. When our dreams really come true, we forget the difference between reality and dream for few minutes. The same happened to me. I totally lost the boundary. I just kept on looking at him being speechless.
"I'm yours Pihu...I don't want to remember anything...I don't care anymore..I just know onething...it's You..only You"
Tears after tears ran down to my cheeks. It's really happening. He is craving for my love. His eyes were saying the truth. We are connected by soul.
A small amnesia can never come as a barrier between us. Our hearts are connected. No memory can break us apart.
"Rajababu.....I...."
"Veer..."
My words stopped inside my mouth. I saw Myra mam running towards us.
She came and stood infront of us. She is shocked after seeing me here. She looked at Rajababu is extreme shock.
"What the hell is going on?"
Tuhin di and Baivab also came there. I stood motionless.
"What the hell is she doing here Rajveer? She has killed our parents...I will kill her..."
Tuhin di walked near me but suddenly Rajababu came and stood in front of me.
"Don't..."
I can't see his face but i clearly felt his tone. It's filled with determination.
"What? Have you lost your mind? She has planned everything...She was with Nishant....She planned your death Rajveer....how can you do this?"
Tuhin di was shouting so much.
"I knew it...she is viper..she will manipulate him...let me show you something Rajveer...Just wait and watch"
I don't know where Baivab left. We all stood in silence. I looked at Myra mam helplessly. She will tell the truth to Rajababu.
Myra mam is avoiding eye contact with me. My heart started to beat in fear.
I looked at Ganga Maiya. Nothing bad can happen to me in front of Maiya.
I closed my eyes and prayed to Maiya. Today show my Rajababu Baivab's real face.
I opened my eyes suddenly. I saw someone walking with Baivab towards us.
The woman has a cover on her face. They reached near us.
"Ask her...She will tell you the truth"
The woman slowly uncovered her face.
My eyes got widened.
Renu di...
Renu di looked at Rajababu.
"My sister did all these....she was always obsessed with you and your royalty....when she came to know about your engagement with Myra mam, she decided to ruin it....she accused Baivab ji in front of everyone...."
My head started to spin. I looked at Rajababu who is looking equally shocked.
"Do you remember Rajveer that day? She accused me in front of everyone and you threw her from the stage..."
Baivab said.
Rajababu looked at me in shock. Tears gathered into my eyes.
"She shook hand with Nishant and planned to attack you....Nishant changed your medicines... that's why you lost your memory totally.....then Nishant blackmailed Myra mam and got married to her...so that Pihu can get married to you....she manipulated your parents everyday.........."
Renu di told so many things. She uttered a very well written script.
I looked at Myra mam. I pleaded her through my eyes to reveal the truth. Only she can make Rajababu believe. Myra mam looked at me.
Rajababu has also turned into a statue. He is not even blinking.
"How can you stay with this killer Rajveer? You didn't believe Myra? She already told you everything about this girl....still you got manipulated by this bitch?"
Tuhin di said.
I immediately looked at Myra mam. What exactly she said about me?
"Myra mam....tell him the truth...you promised me that you will tell him everything...Baivab is lying... don't do this to me..."
I joined my hands and cried out. I can't take this anymore. They all have planned against me.
"Which truth? When did I tell you all these? How can you lie so smoothly Pihu?"
I got terrified. I got never that much scared before. I looked at her dumbfoundedly.
"Bhai...call Vaidya ji...She used to take those medicines from Vaidya ji..Veer...She made you a crazy man so that she can take over everything...She can be the Queen..."
I felt like to jump inside Ganga Maiya and die. I covered my ears and broke out in violent sobs.
"Everyone is lying.... I'm innocent..."
I fell near Rajababu's feet and cried out.
"They are lying Rajababu...they have bribed everyone... Believe me...."
Rajababu is standing like a statue. He started to walk away. I stood up and ran behind him.
"Rajababu....Rajababu....."
Everyone is staring at us. This place is the most scared place then how something vile like that happen here? How some bad people can win in Mahadev's har ki pauri?
Suddenly I saw the black clouds covering the sky. Rajababu is walking towards the Ghat.
Suddenly I saw him walking inside the river. What is he upto?
Now the storm took over the place. I ran towards the Ghat. He is walking into the water.
"Veer..Veer..."
Myra mam shouted out while running towards him but he already drown himself in the water.
Suddenly I saw something heavy coming towards Rajababu.
"Rajababu...."
I screamed out but it was too late. Something hit his head harshly. Immediately the water got covered with his blood.
Then I saw the thing. It's a big bell of Mahadev's temple. It directly hit him between his forehead.
Rajababu held his head in pain. He walked out from the water. His face is covered in blood. He sat on the stairs by holding his head.
Everyone ran after him. I was about to run but Renu di grabbed my wrist.
"Pihu... I'm sorry....he threatened me...please leave this place...Rajveer will punish you badly....please save yourself from his wrath....save yourself..."
I looked Rajababu's way.
"Somebody help...."
Myra mam started to cry by holding Rajababu's head on her chest.
"Har Har Mahadev...."
I looked back and find a Naga Sadhu walking near Rajababu.
"Don't cry bitiya...he got Mahadev's blessing...the bell which hit him today was the bell of the main temple...it got broken today, that's why we threw it inside Ganga Maiya and he got this.... Nothing will happen to him...He got a new life today....Mahadev has opened his eyes..."
The Naga Sadhu said.
"Rubbish...."
Baivab s
aid angrily.
"We need to take him to the hospital right now"
Baivab stood up and called the ambulance.
Within few minutes the ambulance arrived. They all got inside it along with Rajababu.
"Pihu,,,just leave this place right now..."
Renu di pushed me.
I stood like a statue.
