I always thought that the way Lakshmi accepted Arjun's truth so easily has always irked me. So I thought i'll attempt a Short story. A humble attempt. Please tell me if I should continue or not. Would love to hear your comments/criticism. I thought of writing Lakshmi's thoughts first. Please respond. It really does help :)
As impulsive as she is, she believed it when arjun and dadi spoke to her on the night of their engagement. These thoughts run through her mind on one fine day. Amidst all the love that Arjun is showering her with. When she takes and interprets everything one step at a time.
Lakshmi's POV:
It had been 10 long years since I first saw that dream. A dream that first was a part of my mind, then a part of my life, then my life and finally became larger than life.
Arjun Agnihotri. Ajay Sharma. Ajay. Arjun Agnihotri. Arjunji. Arjun. My Arjun.
They say that whatever God does, he does it for our own good. Shiv ji showed me a dream and he fulfilled it. Granted I was too slow in realising my dream was in front of me. Blinded by the whiteness of Arjun's bungalow. Had I listened to my brain, I would've lost it all. I listened to my heart. Chose what I thought was true. Who I knew I loved and wanted to spend the rest of my life with.
I'm getting married to man I love. The man who is also the prince of my dreams. Someone who loved me with all my imperfections. Someone who helped me along each step of life. Someone who loved me and supported me even when I didn't reciprocate. Someone who became my knight in an SUV.
Arjun has fulfilled my dreams even before our life together has started. He has considered my family as his own. He has taken the blame for my mistakes. He has been my rock, mu support always. He has loved me and lovesme unconditionally .
Then why has this seed of doubt come into my head? And why am I encouraging it to grow? I love Arjun. Yes, I love him. But I loved Ajay. Ajay is Arjun.
" agar main tumhaari jagah hoti toh meri pariksha ka bhi nahi li jaati"
Purva ji's words keeps ringing in my head. Did I give in too easily? Did I trust my love too much? Was I blinded again? By Arjun's money? By Arjun's grandeur? But what about his love? Did he never trust mine?
Lakshmi . Relax. You were after the idea of Arjun Agnihotri. The idea of being his wife. You were never in love with him. But you are now. Why are you thinking about what purva ji said? Maybe, maybe because she was right. NO. LAKSHMI SHUT UPPP! Arjun loves you. And you love him.
But then?
No buts, Lakshmi.
But then if he does something like this again?
Of course not. He loves you. Way too much.
But what if he does?
