CHAPTER-55.
"MEERA!!!"Prithvi screamed out again,just before he took her unconscious body onto his lap from the hard ground.
The whole crowd started buzzing with renewed commotion,scandalized at Prithvi's action,but Prithvi was blind and deaf to everything and everyone but Meera.
"MEERA!OPEN YOUR EYES MEERA!"He called out again,patting her cheeks softly,but no response came.
"Take her to the Haweli!I think she needs rest.."Someone advised from behind Prithvi.
"Yes!My Miu needs to be taken to the Haweli!"Prithvi heard the worried voice of Sudha Thakurain..
Finally at everyone's encouragement,Prithvi carried her unconscious body to the Thakur Haweli.And the entire crowd followed along with frantic mother Sudha Thakurain and tense father Thakur Ramdhari Singh..
Fate had weird ways of doing things..Things you wanted to happen and also things you never dreamt of..Sometimes what you expected from yourself or your life,was far from the reality..Sometimes,you just had to let go,and hold onto something new..Reluctantly,under pressure..But you still had to do it..A lone fighter,sometimes had to stop fighting and move with the flow..Especially when the price was too high..Especially when the price was your parents' respect..When the question was keeping your parents' head held up,you just have to lower yours..
Endless tears trickled down Meera's already puffy eyes..She hugged her favourite teddy tighter,as she lay on her bed.
The commotion outside adding to her pain..The whole house was busy with her wedding preparations..She,Meera Singh was getting married to Prithvi Khanna,within two days..
How many days have passed since I first met him..?Five,six,seven?I can't remember..And nor does it matter anymore..All that matters is that I have to get married to him..A man,I barely know..A man,who just came to the village a few days ago..A man,who was still an enigma to her..A man,who was going to be her husband and life partner,in just two days..
CRASH!!!
Glass breaking downstairs,broke her thought..She sniffed and wiped her eyes clean,her mother would be here anytime,to see if she was ready for the ring ceremony..
If at this moment I could change the situation magically,I would,Meera..Prithvi thought dismally..He raised his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose..
After he had carried Meera's unconscious body to her house,things had happened in a bustle..The doctor's entry,his and the entire village's long wait in the hall,as the doctor saw to her in her bedroom..Those moments were the toughest for Prithvi..The uncertainty,the restlessness had almost killed him,until the doctor walked out and said she was alright,but just needed some rest for now,and had gained consciousness..An extremely relieved Prithvi had been hurrying to see if Meera was truly alright with his own eyes,when Lakhan stood on his path,stopping him from seeing her.
His sneering smug face had made Prithvi's blood boil,but he had stopped himself from hitting the man,using the last ounce of self control he possessed.
Prithvi had left the scene not replying to the deliberate taunts of Lakhan,as he knew the villagers were all awaiting to observe some more drama..So he had silently left,but not before his deep dark eyes had given a fair warning to Lakhan.
He had kept himself from thinking about his promise to his father..Those lamentations would be for later..Now,he was suffering from another pain..
Prithvi went to stand infront of the window overlooking the gardens..It was bustling with people,who were busy decorating the house,and also doing other arrangements for the wedding,with guidance from Ramu kaka..
"I have wronged you Meera..I should have protected you,I shouldn't have let anything happen to you..I should have protected you from all those ..This village politics!!!DAMN!!!"
THUD!!!
Prithvi crashed his left hand onto the wall beside the window.Unaware of the pain,or his knuckles getting swollen,and bluish due to bruise..
"I failed you Meera..I failed you too.."He whispered raggedly,as he closed his eyes..His mind was continuously flashing back Meera's pain wrenched face,her numb appearance,and searing pains passed through his system..
"Look at her isn't she looking so beautiful?!"A feminine voice giggled..
"Yes..Just like a princess..And why not?She is getting married to a prince.."Put in another voice,as Meera numbly sat in front of the dressing table,while the girls got her ready for the engagement ceremony..
The girls prattled on and giggled between themselves,unaware of the silent and gloomy faced Meera..Whose eyes were glistening with unshed tears..
Prithvi stood in his navy blue kurta,waiting for Meera's arrival..The haweli's main hall had been decorated beautifully in flowers,and lights..He had been welcomed in by a smiling Sudha aunty,whose face was smiling but eyes were puffy,and a stony faced Ramdhari Thakur..Then taunted some more by a sneering faced Lakhan..
He looked impatiently about,eager to get things over with,when something made him look up..
What he saw took his breath away..
His eyes hungrily took in the tall slim figure adorned in that beautiful dress,that he had sent..And that creamy skin of hers was glowing..Meera was looking ethereal in the purple lehenga,and those matching jewelleries..Her unruly hair had been tied beautifully for once..But he liked them open and free more,he decided..
After our marriage,I'll tell her to keep it open all the time..He thought to himself,unaware of the line of his thoughts.
Then she walked upto him,and raised those beautiful brown eyes to his dark ones..And he forgot to think..
"Miu place the ring on Prithvi's finger beta.."Sudha's soft voice told Meera for the third time when she finally raised shaking hands to put the ring in..
A small gasp escaped her lips,as she noticed his swollen knuckle,and bruise..She put the ring onto his finger,and then softly,and lightly caressed his knuckles,making Prithvi wince slightly.
Instantly she raised worried eyes to his,and he shook his head to reassure her it was alright..
After that Prithvi had put the ring onto her finger,and everyone started clapping,when it happened..
Prithvi pulled her,and with her on top of him,he fell onto the floor to a side of where they had been standing..
CRASH!!!
The chandelier crashed onto the place where they had been standing just a second ago..
