Hey Aditi!!
This is the first RagLak story I read just because the name hooked me. It is one of my most favourite songs and henceforth I was obliged to read it.
But you've written it so beautifully. The importance and beauty of red in love!! Just loved it. Nicely written and short and sweet

Red had always been their color.

(The color of their love.)

The color of her bridal attire, when she married him.

(The first time around.)

The color of the sindoor that he filled in her maang.

(Again and again and again.)

The color of the dress that she wore that New Year's Eve when it all began.

(Oh mera bachcha, it began long before that...he would laugh into her ear before biting down on it gently.)

The color of her blood, when the knife had pressed into her throat.

The color of his blood (his love), when the same knife slashed his palm.

(Written in blood, she always thought.)

The color of her mouth.

(When he first kissed her.)

The color staining the sheets.

(When he first pressed into her.)

The color staining his shirt.

(After the car hit him.)

The color of the shroud.

(Covering his ashes.)

The color of the blood staining her thighs, the sheets, everything.

(So much of their blood...when she lost their baby.)

Written in blood indeed.

He loved to see her draped in red, he always said.

(The knife did not disappoint.)

Aditi,

What a beautiful little story!

Terribly Tiny Tales rock, don't they?

And so does this one... that ties in the colour with every aspect of their brief lives and their brief love story. Your many shades of red - for passion, for love, for violence, for heartbreak, for sacrifice... very well done!

That line about the sindoor and her attire reminds of Sarojini Naidu's lovely poem 'The Bangle Sellers'. The poet is talking about the colour of bangles.

Some are like fields of sunlit corn,
Meet for a bride on her bridal morn,
Some, like the flame of her marriage fire,
Or, rich with the hue of her heart's desire,
Tinkling, luminous, tender, and clear,
Like her bridal laughter and bridal tear.

Thanks! 😳
