*The Destiny...* FF*,Complete** thanks*- Page 5

Part-2

The sky was changing its color at the horizon. Radhika was sitting under a big banyan tree, with her shattered hair and swollen eyes, and her toned duppatta was sticking to her neck back down. She didn't see the flying birds above the clear sky, she didn't see the peeking earth worms. She didn't see the awaken earth..

She didn't notice the piercing eyes and strange words that was contaminating the air , she sat there with the readiness to embrace her destiny. All these time she was happy, she was in her world, never tried to question others deeds, but tried to absorb what all came on her way and walked out with a smile holding onto her lower tummy… but now first time she felt the hurt and she can't take it any more, not even for a second, all of a sudden she felt the time froze in front of her, everything went dark in her eyes, her ears went deaf….she failed to embrace her happiness, her dream of holding her little one in her hand and circling around in the midst of greenery and fragrance of fresh flowers. Time ticked by along with the howling of the crowd around….

A sword lifted up in the air with its fully shining edges , was forcing down itself aiming at her neck level. She sat in that same position, not affected by the howling wolves or barking dogs….that were shouting loud that ...'she is not only a shame for her family, but for the village too, she deserve death nothing less than that, and those who disobey their family should learn a lesson today…."

She remained dumb. ……She didn't see the dripping blood in front of her lifeless body, and didn't realize her love has blocked the sharpness of the sword and he is hurt.

He looked down at her posture once, but then the next minute he had to block those fighting forces. He blocked them with his firing eyes and stronger arms. He shield her from those mad dog attacks.

As the dogs bark away, he raised his bleeding hand up and swept his love in his strong arms within fraction of minutes, and her weaker body just went in with his force , and her head just nagged down with a jerk, but then unknowingly she circled her arms around his neck and hide her face in his chest, and closed her eyes...

she didn't hear him saying in his loudest voice to the people of Shivpur village that " from now onwards she belongs to me, and only me. Don't you dare to even come near her shadow…. Because from now onwards I am, Dev Purohith is going to be her shadow, and if you need to get near her, you should first fight with her shadow.".

His face was shaking with anger, and his eyes were firing the red flames, his wet hair fell on his forehead, he looks shattered too but he walked, keeping his feet strong on the muddy road and carried his love in his hand..

He lowered her and placed her on the back seat, her neck was unable to hold her head straight, sitting with that weaker body her eyes closed again and her head tilted to the side. He sat near her, and looking at her posture, he moved near... her nagging head slowly rested on his shoulder...

Dev gave that stern look at his driver to move on.

The car moved on leaving those flying light sands behind the tyres ….

He slowly looked at his love's face, she looked so pale, her skin felt so cold, her eyes were gloomy, she appeared more of a living dead body and the chain of memories haunted his brain. He lifted his arm and circled it around her shoulder and thought.

Ms. Shivpur express, mujhe patha tha, thum yeha honge, apne gaavvalom ke beech… agr mei ek minute late ajatha tho..., he stopped his thought process right then, how can I be late, when the destiny already united us long back. He looked at her pale face and then to herr closed eyes and held her more closer to him and said

" I don't know how you reached here, but from now onwards you are going to walk on my path, and when you get your conscious back, you will be mine forever, and you will open your eyes to the new world of hope and destiny as Mrs. Dev Purohith, and I can't let you go. Yes I was wrong, it was my ego that was fighting with you all this time as you walked away from me, never realized that vacuum that I felt inside but now the destiny brought you back to me, and now we walk together on the path which ever come on our way, I won't leave your hand because I need you . ...
