Hello!! This is my first writing piece ever. Would love to know your feedback.
Ascent
Prologue
You have to have a darkness... for the dawn to come.
- Harrison Ford
He sat on the couch in the living room with authority, head held high, as though he was attending one of his board meetings, as though he owned this place, whereas he had walked in just five minutes ago for the first time ever, and was sure as hell, this would be his last and only visit .
He seemed unaffected by his surroundings and stared at the staircase directly opposite to where he sat. He kept on staring in the same direction without battling his eyelids, his eyes held no emotion in particular when his thoughts were invaded by HER.
Her beautiful smile which she flashed to every single soul she had ever came across, the smile which he always found his solace in. Her hazel eyes which displayed various emotions which he thought humans weren't capable of till he met her. Her deep hazel orbs always made him drown into them, always spoke to him, even the unspoken words. Her twinkling laughter which lighted the entire room, oh how much he loved to see her laugh. Her soft yet reluctant touches which made him feel alive. Her smooth, silky hair, how much he yearned to bury his face in them. Her soft plump lips, which always quivered under his watchful intense gaze. Oh sweet Jesus!! Those lips were the death of me he sighed. Only if! Only if!
His train of thoughts was broken by his di's continuous action of nudging his elbow. He swore under his breathe, his all time incomplete profanity "What the", to be brought back into reality, the reality which he wished and prayed every time that it wasn't the reality, the reality were she wasn't beside him. Heck, he wouldn't be here in first place if It wasn't for her absences in his life, the life which completely revolved around her, from the moment she entered his life like a summer breeze and was snatched away from him in a storm at sea.
His wife!!
His khushi!!
His dead wife!!
He shook his head to get rid of those thoughts for now and concentrated on his surrounding. He tilted his head to take look at the place to which he was treated with every pair of eyes in the room staring at him with their mouths wide open. It took him a couple of minutes to realize that he must have been loud enough to have assaulted the ears in the living room. He muffled a quick sorry and his eyes fell on an old lady lying on the bed. He raised his head in the direction of his Di, to know about the old Lady's presences. His Nani politely introduced the old lady as the girl's Nani who has been Paralyzed for the past 4 years. He sighed with the new found information of the old lady being the girl's only family member. But that wasn't going to bother him or affect his decision; he will give the same answer like he always did for the past three years. He just wanted to get over with it, leave this place and head to his home, his room, their room. the place where he marked her as his, the place where he made love to her countless number of times. the place where he dreamt about a tomorrow with her.
Now all he wanted was for the scene to unfold in front of him, like it always happened whenever his family went to seek a girl's hand for him; when the girl entered the living room with a tray in their hands. Oh this is the part which he waited for the most from the moment he stepped in all those houses, where he could just take a less than a couple of seconds to signal his Di and Nani, with his signature smirk, that it was over and their presences here is not needed here after this visit, indicating the end of the proposal.
His di nudged him again to look up and he did as he was signaled.
He froze!!
