PROLOGUE
She sat there on the edge of Taaravar!
"Ei Khushi! Tithaliya...Khaana tho Khalieo Bitiyaaa..."Buaji's voice seemed distant!
Infact all human interactions seemed very remote to her! Ever since she left Shanthivan! A part of her she left there may be... as she found herself odd and absolutely changed in ways she did not know herself.
She felt no hunger!
Thirst? well she didn't know it either!
There was nothing she wanted to do nor did she feel like talking to anyone...even Amma!
Amma and Babuji left for a two day piligrimage to Ajmer and she had strayed on to the pool side which reminded of HIM!
Arnav singh Raizada! A man who barged into her life, took over and completely turned it upside down...
He married her in haste and declared that he never loved her in leisure...
He loathed her then and pitied her later!
He said he was a part of her kingdom yet remained as elusive as a stranger...
He was her strength and now,... she realised in these four odd weeks her biggest weakness!
He called it an arrangement but in reality he was the only living immediate family she had!!!
Khushi smiled even in pain...
She thought...
Life is an enigma...
For those who understand it-it is an intermission between two births!
For those who try to-its an illusion!
For those who fight it ... its an eluding loop;
For those who question it, its a riddle...
She looked at her reflection in the mid afternoon sun... A yellow coloured lehenga with a simple short blouse in pink and a mixed dupatta that she just draped on her shoulders off the cuff as none would dare to come inside the Laad Governor's Kothi!
Her eyes looked at her own reflection and she looked so different! A lifetime of difference! She now was much wiser and absolutely out of all kinds of etanglements and illusions! But what did her eyes search for?
... that one face that would keep appearing before them all the time!!!
...A pair of brown...liquid eyes that would beckon her to drown in their fathomless depths...
... A firmly set jaw and a rigid posture that said," back off"!
... A voice that was pure steel at all times and sweet nectar when he chose...
...A man who made her heart to beat but broke the same into a million pieces...
...A ruthless deal master who held her soul to ransom
An only oasis in the desert of her life ...turned into a wonderful MIRAGE!!!!
The blazing hot sun made her eyes smart but she sat there looking at the passage along with the gathering thunder clouds... as if they would open and he would walk through that...
It was all over now! He would have returned from the US a week back... !!!!She knew after he came back he must have come to know she left inspite of his warning her, he would never ever forgive her! He would definitely avenge her! And she would take his anger and wrath! But he would be safe and his people would never have her dark shadow on their lives!
Its been almost five days since his return and he never even called her! She switched off her mobile but he could have called SheeshMahal! He would have known by now that Anjali Di's accident was not a mishap but was a carefully planned warning!!!!
Would he understand her yearning to have a family alive rather than living with it? It seemed so dumb to her own ears but well... sometimes Truth was as difficult to comprehend!
A tear welled in her eye refused to fall as she tried telling it that These are the eyes of a Jethwa Queen! Dare you fall!
How long she sat there she did not know but the shadows were now long and She threatened Buaji that she would simply go away somewhere without a trace...when she repeatedly pestered her for food and medicines! Finally Buaji gave up and went away!
A slight breeze that started from the west end now assumed strength and her dupatta bellowed along with her long hair that she left free without a care!
She turned as she heard the passage door open and close and heard the footsteps!They sounded familiar even from afar...As they neared her she stared at the sight that her eyes feasted on!
Arnav Singh Raizada stood before her in a sky blue shirt and jeans his hair blown in all directions by the raging storm winds... and his eyes as if on cue looked directly at Taaravar and were riveted on hers as they rested on her and narrowed!
Trickery of the shadows and her mind!!!!! She cursed her imagination!!!
But was there any harm in just reaching the Mirage knowing that It is a Mirage? Her mind parried...
The breeze now developed into a strong wind and the dead leaves from the trees atop the cliff on the otherside flew all over the open space and Khushi got up and started walking towards the MIRAGE!
As her steps gained pace and she began to run,... oblivious of the dupatta being dragged away from her on the ground stuck to her bangle... She saw him stand with an unfathomable expression, his eyes beckoning her to reach him and she ran and closed the distance between her and her thoughts and threw her arms round her heart's yearning... holding it tight with both her hands lest it might vanish yet again like numerous other times...
As The rain came pouring down with a thunder clap reverberating through the open cove of the cliff,
She put her hands round her dream, her very soul!
Her hair plastered to her face by the pouring rain rendered unruly by the wind,Her breath hitched , she stood on her toes hugging Arnav Singh Raizada tightly as if her life depended on it!
The Dupatta bellowing in the strong wind,flapping now wet, the mirrors slightly flickering catching the lightning in the evening sky, the song the wind sang amidst the torrents of rain and Arnav stood testimony to her weak voice that said "Arnavji Aap aagaye! Hum nahi reh sakhthey aapke bina!!!!"
For THE MIRAGE STOOD COMPLETING THE STORY...
...But for those who live it..
Its either pure hell or sweet heaven!
For some its an open book;
yet for many its a MIRAGE!!!
The choice rests with us...
If we give in, we end up ever thirsty...
If we choose, we get what's destined...
If we fight, we emerge or get submerged
If we collide, we get crushed,
If we embrace it, we get drowned and overwhelmed...
But if none of the above options for some suit...
Then...
For those who chose to chase their destiny its a big long and tough PURSUIT
GET READY FOR
ANUKAT
