ArHi Bytes [OS]: Arnav's Conflict

Will it be? Here I indulge into the world that is ipk, and two people who love, and yet... is it going to be. Follows through from the recently aired promo...Sept. 20...what will he do, when Dadi spins a nasty tale for him?

Part II of this Series:

Arnav's Conflict

~~~

There she is, in all her dazzling glory, on a carpet of a thousand blooming marigolds, under the cover of a million shimmering fairy lights that light up the night sky; their radiance reflects as the twinkle in her eyes, happiness permeates as the smile across those lips, and excitement oozes through those tentative steps. She waits, and she is all mine, to hold and to cherish, to love for a lifetime.

For the longest time, I roamed inside hollowed alleyways, dark and gloomy, a maze where no one ever saw me. And through that dark cavern she pulled out the beast, gave him hope, and turned him into me. How can I push her into that darkness where I languished for so long?

She waits still and I slowly see the lines of worry, will he be there? Does she doubt me? Have I given her enough reason to believe in me?

~~~

I stood stunned at this conflict within me, would it be what was gone but had shaped today, or about what was yet to come?

But there was no tomorrow without that smile, or the melody of those anklets, and the warmth of that embrace; was I still that beast from yesterday?

And all that I am, I owe to my past. Do I really?

~~~

Last I saw, she left with a smile. An evil conceited one, victory must have tasted so sweet; pity she never saw me bleed. Her words that dealt the cruelest blows, nasty and vicious, designed to kill. How could she not see, what Khushi means to me? And be blind to everything, and then I felt nothing but pity. She was still in that dark place, while Khushi had set me free.

I stood stupefied. Those vile words sugar coated with fake concern sprouting from the face of evil and so devilishly directed at her own blood; here she was, to draw mine, and kick me in the gut! Everything had been a pretence, and the snake was just bidding its time. I felt repulsed and angry. It hurts when your own back stab you, ask me, I have been dealt the cruelest of blows, and this one was no better but time has changed...just may be.

Like a cliff washed away by an avalanche so strong, her words shook the floor beneath me - crumbling it into a void of nothingness, taking me with it, swirling around blood shot memories, scattered and torn that have haunted me down, tossed and bruised, under this relentless beating, there was no escape. Or so she'd thought.

Momentarily, I felt anger surge through me and veil my ways, I will not lie. And conflicted I was... but never did the ocean so deep, dark and murky drown me ... there was a light, bright and blue, and all mine... guiding me.

~~~

For now, I know what needs to be done, and there is no greater truth than this reality I hold in my palms. The past no longer holds me fully captive...and tomorrow is a new day.

Such a conflict and such love that it drowns all truths and looks through all conspiratorial. On one hand it seems so surreal that the truth that dadi encases will be brushed by Arnav but then as I read the last line and my smile lingers, I can't help but fancy and accept that this will happen!

And through that dark cavern she pulled out the beast, gave him hope, and turned him into me.

This did it for me.. this and that the dark ocean and the blue light!

This series, I think will shoo away your block,A! This is absolutely beautiful😊

if only anger did not take over every emotion and decision one was to make. if only he could see her as his saving light, if he could understand what she means to him and what she is for him. I wonder if Dadi would ever come out of the darkness and notice the light...

I wish for this hope in this show. I wish for him to be able to know in his heart that it doesn't matter...

beautifully written as always. every emotion is illustrated to perfection!
