Part 7

The war of darkness was dated years back

But witnessing it tonight was an experience of dismay

The darkness hid her shadow well

Well enough for me to not reach her'

Geet I yelled again looking at the faint silhouettes hidden by the dying lights

I still remember the days when I chased her in broad daylights the rays of sunlight dancing with her footsteps

How has it changed so much from the days of luminance to darkness?

My chase still remains the same

The echoes of her laughter's fade the whimpers rise

The bile in my throat and the tears in her eyes

I looked at the past running by my side she was there laughing and teasing me

Catch me Maan she screamed and laughed out aloud

I looked at her happy face and ran behind her I will catch you Geet I whispered smiling

I caught her finally in my arms finally

See I caught u Geet I smiled and announced hoping to hear her laughter again

But then I heard her whimpers

I looked at the women in my arms the one I loved

The laughter on her face was lost

The love in her eyes for me was lost

Why can't you wait I asked finally seeing the one I loved been lost to someone else

Why didn't you come for me Maan she answered?

How could you be of someone else Geet I asked frustrated by her questioning back'

She looked in my eyes and answered how can you let me be of someone else's Maan

I looked at her the eyes that accused my soul

You married someone else Geet I screamed

How could she question me when she is the one who betrayed me?

She looked at me and smiled and you realize that I can belong to someone else 8 years later Maan

Why should I wait for someone who never trusted me

Why should I wait for someone who never cared that I am alive or dead?

Why she screamed and pushed me back

Why Maan

I looked at her echoes were now loud enough to wake up the sleeping beings in the house

I pulled her back to me and got into the nearest room that came into my vision

Shh Geet someone will come I mumbled

But she kept on struggling against my hold

Let me go she kept on repeating

But that only made me strengthen my hold on her

Not now my love I whispered loud enough for her to hear

She broke in my arms sobbing

Why Maan she kept on repeating again and again

I settled in the bed nearby

With her in my arms

Her body grew tired with every passing time and I heard the sound of her slow breathing

The moments of her sleeping in my arms have been so many in my past but now these moments are something I try to hold on forever

I looked at the night that was fading in the light

And for once I wished the darkness stayed hiding us in itself

I lied down beside her looking at her face

And though I knew that she now belonged to someone else

I couldn't withdraw myself from loving her

I kissed her eyes hoping it stills dream about me

I kissed her cheeks that once had mark on then

I kissed her nose that once had the attitude of being mine

And then finally I placed my lips lightly on hers hoping she will breath my love once again

I have never been a thief but stealing these moments became a necessity for my life

But yet I have to know the reason for her betrayal

The very thought that she belonged to someone else burned my heart

The thought that someone held her the way I was now wanted me to rip her apart

Ohh how can I live with her treachery and my revenge

I closed my eyes blocking all the thoughts away for the while

For now only her existence in my arms mattered

I kissed her cheeks again and whispered mine

And drifted off to the world of dreams

For once I was sure that sleep won't evade me

For once I was sure that the night would be small compared to the

Nights that I spent waiting for her and having her in my embrace

I closed my eyes and held her close to my heart and while hearing the sweet lullaby of her slow breath even I slept away..
