Kumud lies in her bed thinking of him. What is wrong? Why is he not calling? This is just not him. Our wedding rituals and he did not ... She suddenly sits up. The wind is blowing the same way when he set his feet for the first time in the haveli, announcing his arrival. "My Saras is here."Jumping out of the bed to the floor, she takes of swiftly walking out the door towards the stairs. Excitement mingled with panic is welling up within her.
Making it down the two flights off stairs to the main floor, her walk now turns into a run to stop dead in her bare feet on the cold floors. Her unpinned hair blowing from her face with every inhale and exhale, she stands before him breathless.
He is stunned by her appearance. Strands of her thick long black hair keep blowing from her face with every exhale, her face mirroring what she went through for two days without news from him. Suddenly she feels anger creeping in her but she had no time to dwell on it...
"Kumud!" He opens his arms inviting her to come to him. His gaze burns through her to find the core of her existence and Kumud's heart ignites into a firestorm. Her eyes tear up.
She rushes without reserve in the abode of his arms where she belongs, crying her heart out, fighting with him and telling him NEVER to do this to her EVER again without uttering a single word, her sobs n tears wetting his shirt were telling him everything!! The power of his presence making her tremble uncontrollably.
- Sssh," he whispers. Sorry. I was lost and all alone...
But Saras didn't complete his sentence.
Kumud awoke with tears streaming down her face. A dream that had almost been real...was real a time ago. She laid her head back to the pillow, turning her head towards the window. Gazing up at the dark shy and the moon she whispered "Where are you Saras? Come back to me. You promised that you won't let me fade. We promised to be together always. Come back Saras. Our love is complete but my life is incomplete without u. I cant imagine a life without you. I need you."
"Saras!!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was cold, dark and the air around him was heavy, engulfing and stifling him. Nature was as if reflecting what was going inside him. Saras felt like a cemetery inside - dark, cold and silent with a big cavity in the place of his heart because it has been ripped and squeezed!!
Was he a living corpse? Surely he was. That would explain that numbness and deprivation from any kind of emotions.
Standing in the middle of the deep cold water, Saras was reliving the different farce played by destiny to him. He could no longer live in that "sham" of a family, in that castle made on her mother's grave.
" I tried to live for my son Saras but the woman in me, so humiliated could not take it anymore..."
"You bhagoda!! Escapist!! You are just like Saraswati. Weak son of a weak mother"
"I won because you and your mom let me win. Loser son of a loser woman"
As those words kept haunting him, Saras found himself walking more and more in the deep waters just like her mother was drowning herself in that river...But...
It was as if the wind from Ratnigiri has traveled miles and miles and carried his name pronounced by Kumud to his ears!! Saras halted.
Kumud!! As soon as he has pronounced her name, he felt revived!! That deep cavity in the left part of his chest started aching and...beating. Reality struck.
He got out of the water, shivering, dragging his feet.crawling with his fingers dug in the mud on the bank if the lake and threw himself on the bank, his head in his hands!!
No!! He was no longer weak. He would not hide himself behind the mask of loneliness and despair. He would not let down his Kumud.
What was he doing? Was he really planning to end his life to join his mother? He had no right to end a life which was no longer his. A life which belonged to his Kumud. He has vowed to spend the rest of that life with her.
He was going through the worst phase of his life right now where his past demons were daunting him, pulling him in the dark nightmarish labyrinth where it would be difficult to escape the ugliest truth about his mother's loveless and humiliating marriage.
He got up and with his eyes reflecting the determination he has built up inside. He would fight them. Not alone but with Kumud besides him.
"I am coming back to you Kumud. I am hurting inside Kumud. There is only your love which can heal me. Your love, so strong, has tied me to you for eternity. I am coming Kumud. "
And he was sure that the wind carried the message to a waiting Kumud just like it made him felt her longing for him.
