The Broken Bits of Life (part 4 continued)
Gulaal sat on the sands, staring at the raging sea, while her eyes were fixed at the flames beyond the waves. The flame of fire which once witnessed the most ecastic moments of her life...the very same flames which turned the very moment in to ashes and were still eager to swallow her life and the similar glare woke her thoughts, which were burried deeply with in her.
Some of those days, around 2 years back, dominated her thoughts...
Those days, while her destiny was unveiled before her.. while for the first time when Vasanth introduced her to Kesar
The days, while he (Kesar) ignored her for some reasons..which remained unknown to her...
The days, when his indifference pricked some where deep in her heart,
The moments, while she could clearly sense the care and consern in his eyes, that brimmed from a strange passion for her, which he often tried hard to wrap in his harsh words...
The nights, when she struggled hard with her thoughts to dig out the mistery with in him and at the same time she battled with herself while interpreting the strange pull that she often felt towards him..

And finally the day arrived...
The day on which her life being tied with some one...the moment for which she has been preparing herself for all these days...
She looked at her reflection..that looked elegant in the bridal embarishments..and a subtle smile went through her lips with a glipse of shy in her eyes, at the thought of her groom...Vasanth..for whom, no girl on the earth could ever say a 'NO'..and so does she
...
The mandap at the downstairs(at Rewji's ancestoral house at Rashipur) was waiting for her...and she stepped in.., the priest chanted the manthras..and the Gadbandhan is done..
Pandit: Ab Var aur Vadhu pheron keliye khade hojayiye..
Both Vasanth and Gulaal stood up
Paanba(worried):Yeh Kesar kahan reh gaya...
Vasanth's eyes searched for him anxiously, while there was a momentary desperation in Gulaal's
Poonamba(consoling): Arey aap chintha mat ke jiye, uske Kurthe par dhoda sharbat gir gaye dhe..tho upar kamre mein uska kapda teek karne gaye hein..Kesarji aajayega..
Gulaal raised her head towards the room upstairs..to find that the room was locked from inside
Motaba: Muhurat nikla jaa raha hein..Pandit ji aap rasm shuru kar dejiyega..
The bride and the groom were showered in petals and blessings during the pheras..and the rasams of Mangal Suthr, Sindoor were all followed one by one..and at the end of the ceremony Vasanth and Gulaal were announced as husaband and wife before all those who were gathered there..
...
But the entire festive mood was soon burried under the cries outside that approached the mandap.
