KR SS : Forever and Ever

My Dear Readers,

Character Sketch -

Chapter 1 ' First encounter

He made his way towards the river facing open restaurant which was his favorite.. the reason - the corner table being always reserved for him and his friend cum business colleague Vicky .. He got the much needed privacy as well as the view of the beautiful blue sea stretched in front of him and the amazing cuisine it offered ...

But .. today there was something different .. he could just feel it in the air ' he didn't know what exactly ..

Generally the clear sky with the amber colored ball of fire setting into the shimmering clear water was a magnificent view for anyone .. but for Rey an added touch was much needed .. which was provided by the skimpily clad gals jogging and definitely giving him an eye ..

London .. yes .. this was almost like a second home to him .. He had been here many times on business pretext .. he loved the city .. there was always so much happening .. he loved the vibrancy and the buoyancy of life here ..

But, today he could feel a difference .. as he walked in the restaurant the cool breeze caressed his face with a knowing touch .. his hair glided with its rhythm .. something seemed very familiar yet the feeling of unknown was surrounding it .. the scent in the air .. the fragrance reminded him of something or maybe of someone, but, he couldn't recollect ..

He inhaled and took a moment to imbibe this new feeling .. but it was not new to him .. he felt as if he had known this feeling .. he had lived this feeling before .. He closed his eyes if he could remember where and when he had felt this before .. but he was just blank ..

He frowned looked around but didn't see any familiar faces ..so just went and sat on his usual table ..

***

A soft sweet tinkling sound made him lift his deeply engrossed head from the game on his cell which he was playing while waiting for Vicky ..

He turned towards the direction from where the sound was coming ..

A simple yet one of the most beautiful exquisitely designed anklet caught his attention , adorned on the delicate leg of a girl who was moving it to and fro under the table ..

He stared it for sometime just loving the sweet sound it was making which was music to his ears even in this crowded and noisy restaurant ..

He tried to look above to see the person who was wearing it .. but her back was towards him .. he could see that she was wearing a white salwar kurta .. gorgeous straps of shining white pearls holding the dress on her petite shoulders matching with the pearl earrings hanging from her ears .. thick black curls tied loosely with a white satin scarf .. and waving her hands in air which made her silver bangles jingle as she talked ..

He strained his ears to hear the conversation going on ..

"Rahul .. I said I am sorry .. " she caught her ears and nodded her head up and down ..

"Kria .. I know you love white .. but .. please its our engagement and you ordered all the decorations, everything in white .. it looks so insipid .. "

"No .. don't say like that .. " she said in a child like manner ..

"Ya .. I loved vibrant colours .. it would have brought so much liveliness into the function .. "

"Oh.." she said as if a favorite toy was snatched from her ..

"Now we can't even change anything .. 2 days to go for our engagement now .. "

"I am really sorry .. I promise for our wedding it would be all the 7 colours of the rainbow .. ok ?" she said meekly .. still holding her ears ..

He smiled .. "No ..no not so many colours '."

"Now ..can I leave my ears .. my hands are aching holding them " she asked innocently ..

He laughed let his head fall back .. "Ya ..Ya .. Its ok "

"You know why I chose white"

"Why?"

"Because it's the colour of purity .. it's the colour of peace .. Its like an open canvas which others may feel like pouring it with varied colours .. but I feel that its God's painting .. it symbolizes perfection for me .. for others it maybe pale .. cold .. but for me its fierce and definite .." she continued dreamily looking beyond Rahul lost in her own thoughts ..

"Do you know Reyaansh why I love white colour .. Because it's the colour of purity .. it's the colour of peace .. Its like an open canvas but I feel that its God's painting .. it symbolizes perfection for me .. for others it maybe pale .. cold .. but for me its fierce and definite .."

"Can a colour have so much meaning .. " he asked trying to catch her eye ..

"Yes .. a white flower brings a smile to my lips .. the white soft snow makes me feel at home .. the white cloud brings hope for me .. " she spoke looking far ahead into the horizon ..

"But .. isn't it true that when someone dies , we wear white .. so how can it be beautiful .. "

"Reyaansh .. its beautiful because you pay respect to the person who has left this life .. you pray that the person gets peace in the after life too .. White is about being honest .."

***

"Can I get you something else , Sir "

Rey jerked out of his trance and looked at the waiter as if he had seen a ghost ..his face pale .. drained out of all colour ..

"Excuse me Sir .. are you feeling alright ?"

Rey caught his head as it was pounding with so much force that he felt if he doesn't hold it .. it would just blow up ..

"Huh . .."

"Sir .. are you having an headache .. should I get you a coffee"

"Yes.. " and he clutched his hair with both his hands trying to stop the pain and then he realized that he had been shivering and sweating at the same time ...

He couldn't understand what had just happened .. he had seen a guy and a girl talking .. they were sitting in the garden .. yes he saw that .. but he couldn't see their faces .. the girl said the same thing which the girl on the next table was talking ..

Yes .. the girl on the next table .. where is she .. ?

He suddenly looked around .. but the table was empty .. the occupants had left long back ..

He ran to the table .. he found a white scarf lying on the chair .. He caught hold of it and clutched and brought it close to his heart ..

"Sir .. it may of the lady who was sitting here sometime back .. " Another passing waiter informed him ..

"Hmm"

He ran out of the restaurant .. running in all directions looking out for the girl whose scarf he held now close to his heart .. the heart which was hammering in his chest ' but he just couldn't see her anywhere ..

***

"Hey Rey .. I have been waiting for you from a long time .. the waiter said he saw you running out .. ?" Vicky stopped mid-sentence when he saw a dejected and limp body walking towards him ..

"Rey .. what's up dude" as Rey took the chair in front of him .. still lost in his thoughts ..

"Rey" Vicky shook him up a bit ..

"Huh "

"What's happened .."

"I saw those flashes again ' I could hear the guy and the girl talk but just couldn't see them and then the screeching headache .. " He replied still holding tightly the scarf in his jacket pocket ..
