Delving into Bharat's thoughts He looked at the star-filled sky above and then at the splendorous city below. Both wonderful creations, one made by the hand of God another, by the hand of man.
Who creates love? he pondered
God or Man? It was so simple. 4 sisters, 4 brothers, all of marriageable age, it was only logical that they get married.
But what about love... the troublesome voice in his head protested
Be practical, Bharat! the voice that strangely sounded like his mother Kaikeyi's admonished. His smile was bitter.
What is Love? he thought.He had been taught about faith, duty, righteousness but never about love, not the kind that was shared by a man and his wife.. Maybe love had no place in a kshatriya's life, after all he had sworn to either return victorious or not to return at all.
He turned back into the chamber.
His eyes fell on the sleeping form of his elder brother. His Ram Bhaiyya, He was much more than just an elder brother, he was his best friend, his guru, his guide.
Maybe Ram Bhaiyya can answer this question,he thought. He didn't wake his brother up though, he was not a child anymore to wake his brother up for answering all his questions though he was sure Bhaiyya won't mind even if he did. At that very moment Ram turned in his sleep, the moonlight illuminating his features. He had a serene smile on his face. Bharat had never seen Ram Bhaiyya like this, there was something calmer, more serene about his elder brother, as if he had finally found his purpose in life.
This is Love thought Bharat with a content smile. Once again his Ram bhaiyya had cleared his doubts, this time without even saying a word. Now he only hoped that she, the one whom his father had chosen for him, was
the purpose of his life... Edited by SweetRogue - 9 years ago
