I'm so sorry for the delay guys, hope this does some justice…

Recap: Noticing her discomfort, he turned towards the bowl, dispensing the cloth into the stale water… As he turned to leave… his feet ceased mid-step… Squinting his eyes, he desperately searched for strength… and turned to her forehead pressed against his hand, encompassed urgently by both her own… Frozen… he only twitched feeling the warmth of a droplet trail down his hand…

Part 4

As the warm liquid snaked across his skin leaving a burning sensation, a sudden emptiness crawled within him. Slowly, his lips parted in speech… but words were nowhere to be found… His mouth seemed to have dried… Swallowing, he looked at her once more… Bending afore her, his eyes dared not loose her in their hold… as she clung to his hand… still pressing it against her forehead. Confusion fogged his senses; as he struggled to decipher what he felt… what he was to do… At some point, his free hand nervously extended towards her with hope of comfort… Lost amidst his own mixed emotions he had no knowing of a way of helping another control theirs… Still, as he determined himself to move away from the chaos inside him… his gesture came to a stand in mid-air… as his other hand suddenly fell from her urgent grasp… He sat motionless for an endless pause… feeling the silky hair breathe across his face… the unshed tears drench through to his shirt… As she… bit-by-bit… broke down… Unveiling that, which he somewhere deeply dreaded… Curses… As her nails dug into his chest, the confusion abruptly gave way to a pain… unknown… unfelt… until this very moment… as the shattered pieces of a broken heart, sought solace… from him… Strange pain it was… sweet… if pain could be called so… But accompanying this pain… was the sting… the knowledge of her ache… Hesitantly at first, his arms eventually enclosed her in their secure grasp… determined to let the moment offer comfort… to her… him…

***

As the water seeped through the feeble cloth covering her… slithering across her skin… its feel provoked no response… Flashes of the fateful day screened before her eyes… The announcement of her love to be another's… the smiling moon, mocking her state… the venomous hungry attackers… Creases of unreadable experience fell on her paled face… as the eyes drifted solemnly towards where her hand already lay… the marks left behind by the goons… As her vision blurred once more, the clear liquid was no longer distinguishable from the tears... Suddenly, her expression distorted in shades of... disgust... rage.... and ultimately... helplessness... as she vigorously rubbed at her skin, adamant to repeal the reality… With her knees failing to support her, the silhouette shrunk... as she fell into a heap on the cool floor... The soft tap of water still echoing against the tiles... while silent screams of pain roared within…

***

Faintly, the soft trickling of water from the other side of the wall… seeped through his thoughtless thinking… Pensively, he pushed into the cool leather of the sofa… the glass still loosely secure in his right hand. Hazily, he pierced into the transparent liquid… twirling the glass in his fingers… While the eyes continued to study the liquid making soft waves… as it danced to the tune of his movement. The perfectly kohled eyes smiled at him… as his gaze drifted to the lips, in sync with the eyes… Unknowingly, the happiness on her lips echoed upon his own… Suddenly, the happiness dissipated… as the eyes turned hallow… the lips quivering… Rage surged through his veins… accompanied by a disgusting helplessness… The sound of sharp glass hitting the grounds afar… lingered in the stillness of the room…

***

A gentle breeze meandered its way through unseen cracks in the room… suddenly picking up momentum. Her expressions slowly gave way to reality… Looking around, the unfamiliar surroundings sunk in. Realizing her state, her footsteps progressed hesitantly towards a cupboard… Her fingers trembled as they slithered across the cloth…

***

Taking calculated strides down the descending staircase, her eyes vigilantly scanned the surroundings… The soft blue of her pallu wavered in the still present breeze… The walls… the doors… everything felt so distant… yet to near… As her fingers gingerly fell upon the railing… feeling her way through… her feet stopped at the last step… as her eyes fell upon the stranger heaped on the dark leather nearby… Forcing her muscles, she approached the figure… His strong features softened in unsettled slumber… as his body lay scattered across the surface of the sofa… Standing but a few inches away, she unwillingly bent before the man lost in sleep… Her eyes continually penetrating the face… Even in sleep, there seemed to be a continual disturbance in his features… The rigidity evident to her perhaps… because she too had felt a similar sensation… Suddenly it dawned on her… The connection… despite having never shared anything with this man… they still connected… through a bond… a bond dipped in agonizing pain… The cause of his pain she could not fathom considering his stature… but she felt as though somehow attached to… A knot formed itself in her stomach as the realization dug deeper into her… a searing ache seemed race through her veins… as she set her eyes on this man… A man whom she had no apparent relation… yet with whom, she shared the deepest bonds ever said to be… dard ka rishtaa (the relation of pain).

Unable to understand the twists of her fate, she abruptly got up to leave… Squinting her eyes, as the pearls spilled once more, she turned… to see the end of her pallu unexpectedly caught between his slightly curled fingers. Without a thought, she gently lifted the fabric and disappeared into the darkness…

***

Days had indifferently passed into a week… two weeks… three… His eyes steely looked into nothingness as the same image came afore his open eyes yet again… He had not seen her since… Obliviously striding towards the large window of the room, his feet ceased mere inches away from the glass… Confusion still clogged his senses as the image of her solemn face haunted him in every moment… What is wrong with me?… The sound of his fist colliding forcefully against the wall echoed in the stillness… as his eyes aimlessly fell upon the crowded image of strikers across the street… Turning his gaze away ignorantly from the scene, he found it retrace it's course… Narrowing his eyes, he penetrated through the soft lilac fabric flying in the air… the owner's face lost behind liberated strands of silky hairs… Suddenly, chaos struck the crowd as people pushed against one another… Police officers desperately tried to calm the situation… but to no avail. As they brought out the sticks, the gatherers turned more violent… The lilac-clad figure held up two bangle-laiden arms, as an aimless strike of a stick came towering afore… Unknown to what had overcome him, he felt an urgent rush… as could be noticed from the clicking of his shoes against the tiled flooring… running… like there were no tomorrow…

Cheers,

dc
