Collecting on Promises! A short OS.

She never thought she would go against her sister's wishes, but she had to. It was the only way her sister would have the 'right' future.

Had it been anyone else, she would have pulled stunts nothing short of the pentagon to make certain he would disappear off the face of earth. But Viren was as adorable as brother-in-law's came. Perhaps even a little too soft spoken for an attorney by profession and that she'd been sure was how he'd talked his way into her sister's heart. Her resistance to welcome Viren into the family had withered away to nothingness when she'd seen her Di smile...smile in a way that didn't put those strain lines around her lips, as if the smile lowered itself onto her face with such tenderness that it unfurled with the same promising stillness of those soft wet flower petals that unveiled itself on a dewy winter morning. It had been sign enough of all the happiness that was to come in her sister's life. And she'd finally, albeit reluctantly began to understand her sister would have to leave their home someday. That she'd live to see a day in her life that wouldn't start and end with her Di...

But Dr. Manan had showed up just then, precisely at a time when everything was falling into place. And the smile on her sister's face...the one she'd come to sluice her strength from for surviving a lone future had disappeared as if it hadn't been there to start with. She would have left things at that, had it not been for the mutiny her sister lived with towards her own self. Viren, according to her sister had been where her heart would be with some time, but Manan...is where her heart already was. Who would have known such realizations came at the most inopportune of times? Driving her to conclude that the smile she'd thought was the promise of a blissful future had been just that...A promising hope and nothing more.

Given that she'd taken an unspoken view to rescue her sister from every dire situation that there would be, she thought it was time to stand by it. She'd hinted at what she was about to do then to her sister the previous night and her self-sacrificing sister had made her swear she wouldn't think along those lines for another seven births. But breaking one vow seemingly appeared easier than seeing her sister struggle defending her feelings for Manan, while she remained betrothed to Viren.

She pushed the plate away and stood up garnering the attention of all others at the dinner table. As everyone looked up from their plates, her eyes closed quickly in prayer. She needed Babaji's blessings to endure a life in penance, for what she was about to do then, would cost all her relationships, including her only family and may be even her Di...She drew her ever-present shell that she often depended on at such times. Striding to her left, she stopped by her brother-in-law's chair.

"What happened Manvi?" He leaned back and tilted his head towards her.

Before she could change her mind, she bent down and kissed him smack on his lips...

One Tale at a Time: 6thElement Fiction Index

Hello Folks!

I'm new to this forum and to the soap as well. I have only watched a handful episodes so far, but felt pulled by the bonding between the two sisters and couldn't help writing this.

Hopefully you gals will like it. How about you let me know on that?

Good to have my NY times friends here...Thanks Hima.

I'm new to the show myself, but the direction so far is good and in risk of repeating myself, I couldn't help writing this OS.

Thank you Jyo.

Oh! I wish you could finish it and let me know if you liked it. It's completed by the way.

I know, I have a feeling she is going to do something of the sorts in the show, but not sure if it would be with Manan, or Viren or even that other guy...(Viren's brother).
