part four...
Seasons change... but not love...
Four months... he had lost count of days...
four months... she had counted each day...
nothing changed...
"when it rained... it rained tears...
when sun shined, their hearts went dry...
when snow fell... their pain froze...
when seasons changed... they became fossils...
living fossils of a lost love..."
He had fought with life, ever since he was a kid... he had survived every hurricane till now... but, not this...
as he took a decision, for the first time... thinking only about him, he just left a voice mail for Akash... "take care of di... and h..her"
she walked ahead, to the place, where the road ended... for the first time, she took a decision for herself... and told her Devi maiyya to take care of her family...and H...him..."
he drove througg the thick fog... it was not morning yet... but driving in the fog was not a problem for him... for he had driven endless number of times amidst thick tears...
the road ended on the hill top... for someone who has no destination, the roads end nowhere...
Each step into the fog, he rememberd her...
each time she touched the cloud... she smiled at him...
he tiptoed to the cliff... and breathed in... all those sweet moments of his life with her... her paagalpan...
a layer of mist, touched his hands... "he felt her walking towards him, looking like an angel, in white... with her mannat ki chaabi..."
a breeze Hugged her waist... "she felt, his arms around her, like all the times they hugged..."
it began to drizzle...
'drizzle was always like them...
wayward... each drop fighting with the other...
clinging to one another, when a wind blew them apart...
and retreating helplessly, when a cloud was blown away..."
He closed his eyes... saw her face... prayed to an unknown entity ... 'WHEN I'M GONE... hold my Kushi together..." for the very last time, he kissed on the her beeds that was with him... and then put his left foot ahead...
"hey... devi maiyya... shakti dena... Arnavji ko... unhe tootne math dena... jab hum nahi rahe..."
Arnav heard a heart whispering near him and it was when he saw her standing next to the adjacent side of the cliff...
he dashed to her and pulled her back...
"kushi... what the hell where you doing..."
he barked as tears soaked his face...
she looked at him, shocked... and then at his hands clutching to the beeds... and then with calmness, she cried out...
" i... i was doing the same thing, that you were doing... arnavji... escape from this hell..."
he shook her...
"dammit, do you know what are you talking... how can i let you die... "
who better than Arnav to know, that to die is easy... bt, not to see your dear one dying infront of your eyes...
he pulled her into a hug... kept her shaking body, close to his heart...
"i wont let you die... i wont let you go... i will live, until you live, Kushi...
choice is yours... live with me... or die and take me with you...''
kushi didnt say a word, but she kissed his cheast, soaking it in tears...
"LIFE IS WHERE SHE IS..."
they walked back... hand in hand... hugging the rain bow... kissing the life... and then holding on to each other...
a hand from the fog appeared... and held Kushi... and pushed her deep into the swamp... all in one go...
as heart slipped out of his hand, Arnav turned to see SHYAM... smiling filthily...
He heard, kushi's shreak... and saw her dipping into the marsh... her face stood above, as she gulped for breath...
'kushi... kush...i...'
arnav's cries shook the hill top... it echoed...
dipping himself into the swamp... he took her out... and laid her beside... it was late... she had gone... gone for ever...
a hot tear rolled from Arnav's cheek... He took her to a stream near by... washed the mud away from her...
he came back... hummed a lullaby to her...
'' I will be back Kushi... i have to make a home for us... till then, sleep my baby..." He kissed her on the fore head and went away...
after half an hour, he came back...
He scooped her in arms... and walked...
'KUSHI... here is our new home... where there is just you and me... our love... a world where no one and nothing will seperate us..."
he placed her in the grave... and then laid beside her... he hugged her... and placed her head on his heart... and then stopped taking in breath...
slowly... in seconds... his nerves bursted... he hugged her more... and waited for death...
a few minutes later, shyam closed the grave and walked away...
when mud poured on kushi... arnav breathed in hard for one last time and shielded her body...
his heart told her...
"where you are... there lives my heart..."
a few hours later... a giggling Kushi tickled Arnav to wake him up...
"arnavji... do you even think of waking up... or you are sleeping here in this grave for ever... WE are dead, that doesnt mean... i dont eat jalebi..."
he smiled at her...
walking together, with her in his arms... they looked back to see their bodies, lying in the grave...
in the mist, two souls hugged... love and life... there is life, where you are...
