In this story prerna is prerna, no seeing double here, there were no bomb blasts, no maya. Prem had said that he can?t bear to look at devki cos it reminds him that mukti is dead?. Then he leaves from the house..
?The Truth?
Chapter 1
The speed meter read an alarming figure; the road seemed to slither beneath the wheels of the car faster than the speed of the eye. Prem didn?t care how rugged the terrain was, nor was he capable to stop his feet from pushing against the accelerator. He was a man running from a bitter truth, he knew not where his destination lied except that he would drive on until he met his fate; until the path lead him to his ?Love?.
He wanted his car to meet an instant destruction so he would be released of the intolerable pain that the loss of ?Mukti? his ?Love?, had brought him.
He didn?t know why he had turned the car stereo on, and that too so loud for it was distressing him further. He turned it off crossly. Images of her wounded stiffen body flashed in front of his eyes making him groan.
His eyes were raging mad, mad at the world. Being deceived in to believing that Mukti was still alive had made him hate his family beyond reckoning. The most agonizing part about the whole ordeal seemed to be the fact that his family had used another woman to pose as Mukti. He hated them for it; He hated them for bringing him back to health when what awaited him in the real world was nothing but hell.
He despised himself for eating up the lies everyone was so lovingly feeding in to his mind, including the woman he heard that was named ?Devki?.
?Devki? how, ever much she looked like Mukti, he somewhere in his heart had always known that she wasn?t the woman he was supposed to love. "Or is she?" Millions of unanswerable questions, time to time sprung up in his head. Moreover, it punctured his soul whenever his mind wondered at the times he spent with ?Devki?, he felt like a traitor. He thought he had betrayed the only good thing he had ever believed in.
He knew Devki was just as good as an innocent by stander in his parents attempt to cure him, nevertheless he detested her for looking like Mukti. Every time Devki came in to view, it only made it clearer to him that he had to face a truth he would have never been willing to except otherwise.
?Prem Slow down? He heard a voice say in his head, it was Mukti. He tried hard to make her jump out of his mind and appear in front of him. However, he only heard her voice asking him to slow down. She never did like it when he drove fast, so he obeyed her.
He waited her to speak to him again. She did not. Then he hit the break and stopped the car. He didn?t have the will to live anymore, he did not have the will to do anything anymore. He sat in his car, pulled up in the middle of nowhere crying, holding on to the steering wheel.
He missed her, he missed her complaints, her smiles, and he missed the way she made faces at him when she did not like what he was doing. The memories of her beside him calmed him down somewhat.
?Prem, what do you think you are doing?? Mukti?s irritated voice came from the seat next to him. Prem turned around. Finally the voice in his head had transformed it self in to her. She looked as beautiful and sounded just as witty as she had always been. He looked at her with love and wonder. He didn?t care if he was going crazy, the only thing mattered to him was that Mukti was there with him, where she belonged. In moments like this; when she appeared in front of him, he was almost sure Mukti wasn?t dead, but lost somewhere; asking him to find her, but when she spoke out she always told him to let her go. Therefore, he felt both miserable and blissful at the same time, for he always was ready to pull her in to his arms and was never ready to let her go.
As Prem stared at Mukti?s phantom like image, lost in the thoughts of her, she called out to him.
?Prem you don?t have to do this, don?t have to hate every moment in your life, I know you love me and you want to be with me, but there are more people in this world that love you, want you to live, and want to see you happy? Your parents had gone through so much and they don?t deserve to lose you. Please if you don?t wish to live, Please Prem at least live for your family, be happy that you have so many people who are willing to do anything just to see you happy, so live for them? her request was different this time, but he didn?t like it, for she was asking him to choose his family over her.
?No? He shouted angrily.
She made a face at him, slightly annoyed but a cute face and said,
?Prem, Please don?t argue with me?
He smiled at the way she spoke and admired her features once more and decided He never could truly say ?No? to her. Therefore he agreed making her smile and kiss him on his cheek before she disappeared saying the words,
?I will always love you?
?Love you? He replied with a smile saying good bye, his eyes yearning to see her again.
