Just a little something I wrote a long time ago, but @AhamyTed requested this VM and I felt this fit perfectly... Imagine Gauri had not had the will to defeat Kali...
Gauri spun and spun... her feet moved to the rhythm of the song... an act of memory as she heard no sound... With every turn she acknowledged the men in the crowd... a nod at nothing as she saw no sight... No she was not deaf... but the only sounds she could bear to her were his whispered poetry... No she was not blind... but the only vision before her glazed eyes was his indulgent smile... Him... her savior... her destroyer... the balm to every wound and every scar... but the cause of endless pain and suffering... It had been a choice... his happiness at the price of her eternal misery... or his death for her freedom... Had it really been a choice? She had given her world for him... And he didn't even know...
He hated the sight of her... the very sound of her voice... she yearned for a glimpse of him... for a snippet of his reassuring baritone... She hadn't loved him... Love was too insignificant a word... She'd worshipped him... but he could never know... He could never know that those first few nights she'd screamed for him... cried herself hoarse trying to will him into saving her... but he'd not come... of course he hadn't... after all hadn't she ensured it? Ensured he would never search for her... She'd given him the boon of a happy life and in return received a life-imprisonment...
The first days were hard... the nights the worst... but now six months later, there was nothing... now she could lose herself in his memories... He was far away in Mumbai... probably married by now... She was stuck in Bareilly... paying a debt to a devil...
Omkara Singh Oberoi touched down in Bareilly. It had been 2 hours since he'd discovered the reality of Gauri Kumari Sharma... Gauri Omkara Singh Oberoi...
It was time to bring his wife home...
