Chapter 4 -Silhouette of the past
It was a clear night illuminated by the glint of starlight and the radiance of a bright moon. At midnight, yellow beams of streetlight would peep into the invading darkness of Chandrasekhar's room, casting a myriad of shadows . He was lost in the thoughts of his late wife Dhara . Dhara died in the premeditated car accident planned by his arch enemy Mahanand - a Local Don. Chandra's father in law Vishnugupt and this Mahanand shared long enmity which was further aggravated when CHandrasekhar bought some government project going much against wishes of Mahanand. Don Mahanand only decides whom to take part in auction of government project and who will bid in it. Apart from this,he will supply his goons to various political parties as on when need arises.
Mahanand tried all possible means to keep Chandra away from securing the tender.Mahanand had promised Mr Shiv Pandey that he will get the project for Shiv.In return Shiv had promised Mahanand 5 crores as Supari.For sake of that Mahanand even tried to bribe Chandrasekhar . He tried various methods to stop him from getting the project.Our chandrasekhar did not gave him a damn and got the project. Mahanand 's anger was kindled . He wanted to punish Chandrasekhar for lifetime so he devised a plot. His plan was to crush Chandra in his own car by making to collide with a speeding lorry. It will look like an accident and no one can question him! But on that fated day,unknown to Mahanand, Dhara Chandra's wife took the car herself to attend some Family function leaving behind Dev and Chandrasekhar. Dev a.k.a Bindu was just 3 months old at that time.In an hour or so,Chandrasekhar mobile rang to say demise of his dear wife in the accident near RK colony.
Chandra recalled that day when she lay dead in his arms .Her face was partially marred
Time flooded through his fingers with no regard for his feelings. He wished he could just stop moving forwards and exist in that moment together. Not thinking. Not breathing. Just not apart. Can it be possible! He had to live at least for his son's sake.
Chandrasekhar took her photo from the side table and was touching her face. Dhara was happily smiling in that photo.His nostrils engulfed the delicate hint of her fragrance and with it his brain flooded with pictures of her. Her face was pretty , her twinkling eyes,dimpled chin ,long silky hair and her glistening teeth when she smiled. So much time had passed since her death, and all Chandra had left of her was the occasional fleeting memory. He had lost the sound of her voice and the touch of her skin. His chest ached as he thought of what he had lost. No one had ever replaced her, and no one ever would.!!
He began to speak to her I can never fathom why God would give me someone so good only to snatch them away again. I know you are safe with Him in heaven, loved and warm, but I can't reach you there. It's a cruelty to see the sunrise each new day devoid of you.
He thought the colors of spring will come but Dhara won't.come " He has to live.The ache of longing to be with her echoed through the very marrow of his bones. He spoke to himself I never knew that missing someone could take over every fibre of your being and wring you out like a wet sponge every day.
It is a torment I was unprepared for !Chandrasekhar did not knew how much time could have passed . His son's cry brought him back to the mortal world. He took his son and engulfed him in a tight embrace and tried to sleep !! Life was pulling him forward into the unknown with one hand.Will he ever able to see someone who will really take care of him and his son!! Time has its own answer.It will not reveal its cards before the destined hour!!!
