Were We Ever Strangers To Each other?
Reyansh silently pleading --"Pranati, you can't be separated from me! This heart was angry when I was without you. And today, when I met you once again, this heart says that it is colored in your colors! I am yours. Be mine. Nothing in me is mine; it's all yours. Please accept me"
Her stoic silence, angry glares pushed him far away from her!
He was recollecting....
"Mom... where are you? I missed you always, but now I missed you more!
Who am I? A sinner who doesn't know the value of love? Or... or the one who loves to have fun with a woman with an unknown longing for love? Who am I Maa?"
After your death, my dreams plagued me whether they were about your death or when they fooled me into thinking you were still alive. It was a quest for me, searching for you in every tender touch. I’ve felt your absence every day of my life since you were stolen from me! I fell into a never-ending well of agony after you left. I dwelled there for years. Depression ran into my veins alongside my blood. The blood became rough and scraped up my heart.
I went haywire as a teenager. A loner at that time, no one was there to show the tenderness of human touch, every one was busy in business deals and discussions around me! Depression left me craving for a woman's touch! How much of an impact losing you had on my young life? I did many things I shouldn’t have. I became empty, because of the void your absence created in my life!
As a wayward adolescent, I lured her with my vile ways, mine was lust for bodily pleasure, but her's was a commitment, she wanted to be with me for this life. First love is only a little foolishness and a lot of curiosity. ...enjoyed that amazing moment when your crush has a crush on you! Alas... I have no idea how I crushed her life under my monumental negligence, isn't that my arrogance? I rejected her, distanced, forgot, and moved away .... now ... now I realized that I lost myself at that moment, from then on, an empty thought roamed listlessly here and there for the vice of lechery. I lost my purpose in life!! Started getting part-time love from everyone! No one has realized that among my stillness, there was a pounding heart.
When I realized that, it was too late! What I have to do now?
A distressed Reyansh stood there watching the happenings around him with anguish.
She is ready to burn her past memories when I am ready to revive my hope for that true love! A dilemma between us, who is right? Difficult to tackle with ... but fate has its own ways to play a vital role there!
Pranati, listen....these tears are your pent up emotions which you are unable to hold back now! Don't deceive yourself by saying that all emotions inside you are dead!
She whispered to herself ..." I will never fall in love with anyone again. Whenever I recollect that past, emotions are starting to surface, I wish to crush those under the iron will of my anger. I killed this emotion inside me. I have put my mind over my heart. Ended up breaking my own heart! "
She wanted to meet him one last time to show him finally that she is moving on in life, far away from his memories!
The wishing tree with dried twigs was the mute witness of their thought process!
She wanted to unlock her past memories to allow those to reach to heaven, as a dead-end!
He wanted to unlock his past love to adorn it with wedlock now!
Meanwhile, time is playing a key role there to push them into an untoward incident which brought back the third person who is related to both! One lock with two keys, the entry of a third person Jugnu who ultimately turned as a key witness to watch the unfolding of an unwanted relationship's past traces!
Pranati said " I kissed you to gain your love but you pushed me into a trench to dump my love. What to call a guy who left his girlfriend especially when she was pregnant! I forgot my past with great difficulty and I am finally moving ahead. I don’t know what lies ahead but I know that there is no place for my past in my present."
The tender love transformed now as bitter. Unforgiving. Pain! The whimper was slowly lost in the thinning air leaving her in her unverified future!
All that remained in front of her was the defeated hollow soul that once reflected in her tear-stained eyes, not allowing her now to see his true self anymore. He was just a shell of a man.
He stood there confused again, longing for a tender touch, just like he was cried for it in his childhood!
A lover for his girl, a mother for her child, a child for her comfort, a few morsels of food without the hardships of stealing it silently stood there watching the passing moments, trying to understand their consideration and emotional warmth, with their need to care for and listen to one other's soulful expressions deeply!! As a viewer, I could see wind-stirred waves in her eyes!! That is the power of love, realize that Reyansh, love means respect towards a bonding!!
