I set in my Mercedes one of my prized possession gifted to me by my late great grandfather a gift for completing graduation.
I was close to my grandfather he always used to say that you are my reflection calm and composed but now when I look at myself there is only battle & darkness all around till my eyes can reach.
I drive & reach mandir with in half an hour it's 4 pm it's still some time left for the roka ceremony.
I walk behind a temple to sit by lake to relax myself & clear my head.
I sit on one of the steps & close my eyes soft breeze hit my face it makes me some what calm but i forgot that I don't deserve it coz Ishika's face come in front of me her twinkling honey brown orbs full of dreams,her long hair which i love to play,her petal like lip taste like a sweetest drug,her smell my peace lilies mix with a earthy smell which occurs when it rain for the first time,her voice my favourite sound in this world.
The way she use to cares my hair while singing.
The one voice which I can recognise even in a midst of chaos bless my earsÂ
I got alert with in a heartbeat
They are here this early but when I check time I'm annoyed at myself it's been two hours I'm sitting here.
I enter inside a temple & i witness mine & Ashi's whole family is here they are so immense in her melodious voice that they are unable to fill anything else.
She is wearing a off white saree her back is visible coz of backless blouse her curves look tempting.
Her hiccups reach my ears & it "shattered the heart of a sinner like me into pieces all over again".
The surrounding become tense with her continues crying but she doesn't stop singing like she is requesting her kanha to end her misery.
She fell down on her knees and break down crying hysterically i try to move forward but my feet is glued to the ground I'm unable to move & one question stuck my mind is she in this much pain coz of my betrayal or is this marriage taking place against her wish.
Nikita aunty & mom sit side by side mom hug her & she wheep like never before and it's a last nail in a coffin.
Masking my emotions i loudly announce,"what's happening over here? All eyes turn in my direction.
Ashika detach herself from mom hold but didn't uplift her eyes from the ground.
Avyaan you came on perfect time Ishika & Nikhil Roka ceremony is going to start Yash uncle answers happily .
Nikhil come & stand in front of me and said "hi! i didn't knew that you are related to kapadia family with his cunning smile.
But now you know that means you are going to leave right this moment without any delay I order him.
Everyone become shock Ishika's father ask, what are you saying Avyaan?
I'm telling what is right for Ashi Yash uncle.
Ashi start to laugh like crazy
She tilt her head up her eyes glistening with tears she stand up walk with wobbly step and stand in front of me.
All are trying to figure out the situation. when Ishika held my collar in a tight grip & tilt her head our eyes get connected her honey brown orbs is a mirror of her pure soul which looks tainted & ruined currently.
"The great Avyaan Dev Suryawanshi is thinking about my betterment it's a joke of century".
Shaurya & Yash uncle ask what are you trying to say Ishika?
Avy tell them what I'm trying to say why are you standing & not telling them that the great Avyaan is before she can continue Nisha Shaurya's wife cut her in between Ishika don't & shake her head......
Why not bhaabi let everyone know the real Avyaan.
Mom ask Ishika don't talk in riddles come on point.
Avy tell them why are you not saying anything please end this suffering please........ Her plea of disclosing our dirty laundry in front of our family hit the chord in my heart.
I look around to gauge the reaction of everyone all of them seem confused.
Shaurya's death glare confirm that he has a slight whiff of mine & his sister
relation.
I look down her eyes glistening with tears i wipe her tears i tried to form a sentence but i don't know what should i say
"Ishi" before i can say say something thing she faint i hold her in my arms.....
