Hello!
So I know all of us are super pissed about whats going on in the show right now and I was so darn upset about the whole hit-and-miss sequence in today's episode, I decided to write an OS to make myself feel better. As always, this has been written in an absolute hurry and honestly, I haven't even proof read it. Just a little something for all of us to feel a little better. Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Neet
||ManYa OS - A Prayer Answered||
Was it true? Had she really not come? Did she really not care? If only his heart would stop thudding so painfully in his chest, he could think clearly. But no, his heart had turned traitor on him long ago. He turned his eyes towards the idol of the God he'd worshipped since childhood, the God whose name he invoked all throughout his day, everyday.
"Mahadev! What game is it that you are playing with me? Why are you testing me so? I've seen it in her eyes Mahadev! I've felt it! Then why is it that her actions and her feelings don't match up? Why is she even trying to refute her love? Why? I've always lived my life for others and I've liked it that way. Whatever you've written in my fate, I've accepted it without question and given it my best. But for the first time, I feel like I want something for myself. I.. I want her Mahadev. I need her - to share my joys and sorrows, my dreams and aspirations, successes and failures, to fight with, to be there for and more than anything else.. To love.. Like I've never loved anyone else in my life! Please Mahadev! You have to listen to me.. Just this once! If there's even the tiniest bit of truth and sincerity in my devotion towards You and in my love for her, you'll have to bring her here today, somehow, anyhow.
Tears welled up in his eyes and streamed down his face as he poured his heart out to his Mahadev. And in the midst of the emotional outpouring, his heart skipped a beat. His eyes snapped open but he was too afraid to turn around. What if she wasn't there? What if he was dreaming? What if.. A hundred what ifs danced around his mind and Mantu shut his eyes again. But just as surely as he could hear his own heartbeat, he could sense hers too.. Even in the noisy, chaotic mayhem of the temple. He opened his eyes and glanced at the idol again before turning ever so slowly.
And there she was! Looking like his every prayer had been answered, his every wish had been granted so graciously by his Mahadev. In her gorgeous, simple white churidar, her beautiful tresses let loose, her eyes speaking of all those soul stirring emotions that somehow never made it past her lips. There she was.
Every step towards her seemed like eternity and when he was just one step away from her, he stopped. Still afraid that she was just his imagination playing tricks on him, because he longed and yearned for her so bad, he raised his hand to gently run his fingers down her cheek. She leaned into his caress as a tear rolled down her cheek. She was real! She was here! And that's all Mantu could think of before he pulled her into a tight hug and broke down sobbing.
"I can't do this anymore Amaya! I can't! I can't play these games anymore! I love you! I love so much that I'll die without you! I can't bear it anymore Amaya! I love you! I love you!" He kept telling her over and over again, his face buried in the crook of her neck as he held her as tightly as he could, wanting to absorb her into him so she could never go away from him.
All the trouble, all the pain she'd gone through in the past week or so melted away just like that when he took her in his arms and Amaya felt whole again, alive again. "I love you too Mantu! I love you too! You have no idea how hard it's been for me! I was waiting for you Mantu!" Amaya told him in between her sobs as she hugged him tighter.
If he had experienced pain in love the past few days, with Amaya's confession, he experienced the kind of amazing joy that only love could give. And yet, he was puzzled by her. "Then why? Why did you not say anything? Why did you not stop me when I was going away from you? Why did you start behaving as if I did not matter to you?" he asked her, still holding her tight, wanting answers but not wanting to let go of her.
Amaya pulled away from the embrace but Mantu still held onto her arms, even in the smallest of distances between them seemed unbearable to him now. "Amaya.." he started to speak but Amaya hushed him with a finger on his lips. "None of that matters now Mantu. None of it. We won. Our love won. And that's all that matters," she said and she laid her head against his chest and Mantu hugged her again happily.
The temple bells chimed and rain clouds danced in the sky celebrating what was yet again, destiny's game to unite two unlikely lovers
