PROLOGUE
Love was meant to be easy. It was supposed to be effortless but with every breath he takes, the energy to keep loving HER drains him out. What was one supposed to be a easy job has now become a task he could not figure out.
"You were my sunshine and if I was capable enough, I would have left this world by taking your name but I am so tired- tired of waiting for you to come back, tired of waiting for you to see how broken I am... tired of waiting for you to love me back." Tears stained the ink and he crushes under the weight of lie because even now, he loves her with every broken piece of his heart.
Abhimanyu Birla- used to be a renowned heart surgeon, one of the best doctor globally is now nothing but pile of skin and bones.
Skin he decides to prick and strike- when PAIN comes knocking, he finds safety in BLADE and opens the door just enough to make a CUT and the pain of loneliness scurries and blood gushes through the gate.
Blood- so red in colour.
RED: for the longest time, it has signified love but everything flipped one fateful day and changed the course of his nights and the colour now signifies, the burning anger in his veins, volcano of pain in his chest and the desire to end it all.
"Bachapn mein shor
Safed chaadron ke mohtaaz hote they
Aankhein moondne se
Har dard parda hote they
Par kya aaj phir aankhein band karne se
Ye toota dil sambhal jaayega?
Kya safed chaadar mein ek baar phir chipne se
Ye andhkaar mit jaayega?"
He did not dare-HOPE!
*****
Beauty of colours, of chirping of birds, of butterfly wings and above all, BEAUTY OF LOVE- she has experienced it all but monsters of past lurked and she got tangled in evilness of demons in human form and lost it all. The colour fades and darkness descends, the birds stopped singing, butterflies got their wings clipped and their love- THEIR LOVE lost the battle against time.
Aanya Maheshwari- the girl who danced everyday now push herself to live as the demon hour drags and minute feels like hours. The one who used to get lost in yellow now only ever finds herself painted with black and white as he broke the sealed promise.
"Ms Aanya Maheshwari, if death ever comes knocking na, I will shoo it away because I want to have a chance of saying I love to you again and again." His eyes were filled with love... all for her and she takes it all in as she embraces him, whispering she loves him in his ears.
Laughter from the past reels as tears she shed now. He stepped back from his promise- he left her alone, he did not said I love you to her like he told and every loves vanished and all that was left was, ashes of their love and she is SEALED in white.
She told him, their love was white in colour- have shades of rainbow colours in them but now, all white represents is a death she did not get to grieve, a cry she never got the chance scream, a battle she did not had the honour to fight.
"Ek waqt tha jo sirf hamara tha
Tumhare jaane se guzar gaya
Dil-qash mat pucho humse hamara
Hamari rooh chali gayi uske saath
Aur bach gaye hum
Jo beete nahi uske samay ke saath"
She did not dare cry instead she wore her white coat and left.

Destiny works in mysterious ways
It snatches something so precious from us
That we forget
There is a world beyond pain
"Why did we meet now, Aanya? Why now after I have left my everything to her?"
"Why is fate being so cruel? He left and you came and you pieced back a part of me that I did not even know could be found. But why did you come now Abhimanyu, when I have lost my everything to him?"
But it rewards us with something more beautiful
That make us believe
That all of us are not lost
And then we meet
Joy of love
In second chances
And promises of forever last
As
Sealing Red
Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2
