#1- Her Second Lohri
Anika
The day has been hectic. I worry about the evening. I never want the sun to set today. I wonder whether it's my fear or gut feeling, I exactly know not. Its Lohri. Everyone's excited. Daadi was so happy, and so was everyone else. He was laughing! He laughed so heartily after so long. The brothers were so excited about Lohri, so was Gauri. It was her first Lohri after all.
I remember vividly my first Lohri in the family. Though perhaps not in truest sense but I was...was a part of this family.
He was a Sadu Singh Oberoi then.😆
But now he is the Sweet Singh Oberoi. As I contemplate I realize so much has changed in our lives. The journey has been remarkably overwhelming.
Tears blur my vision. He was my protector then and is my protector now. I cannot help but see the flashes of that night before my eyes. I was angry at him that day, I remember. I am angry at him today. He was a paheli then, he is still one to date. I know he understands my fears now. He has taken the trouble over himself to protect me from them. But, I can simply not explain to him, what my heart holds.
I remember that moment. He fell over me and I was left blank, not understanding what had happened. I had blood over me! I didn't know where I had been hurt. The blood was visible but the wound not. Only when my eyes saw his closing, did I feel a sudden pang rising bitterly in my heart. It was his blood,over me!
It terrifies me to even think of it now. But, the restlessness in me today, hints at something, something similar today. I am afraid. I don't want to be hurt today just like that day. The pain is unbearable. God forbid, if it repeats I shall loose in battle.
I am but Mrs. Shivaay Singh Oberoi today. And all I have learnt from him is, fearlessly facing what comes as it comes. If he can be "Shivaay" in truest sense then I must stand by him and be "Anika " in truest sense.
If Shiv can take the poison, then I shall be Shakti, holding his neck if required to not allow him to take of all over himself. I should be his better half. If Shivaay is standing for his family today, then I will to stand with him. Come what may, we will fight it together. For no power can beat the power of two souls who are one.
