hey guys tanisha here.. i have read a few works on this forum and thought of writing a one on my one..hope you all appreciate it... its based on a well known novel...her is the prolugue...
PROLUGUE:
"mother"
antara clapsed hands with her son as he crouched at her feet. panic, fear, grief surged through her and met a solid wall of will. she wouldnt lose control now. she couldnt. her children were coming.
"chirag". her fingers were icy as they tightened on his, but they were steady. her face was almost colorless from the strain of the past few hours, and her eyes were dark. dark, young and frightened. it flashed through caine that he'd never seen his mother this frightened before. not ever.
"are you alright?"
"of course. better now that you are here". with her free hand she gripped diana's as her dughter-in-law sat beside her. wet snow clung to diana's long dark hair and was already melting on the shoulders of her coat. antara took a long breath before she looked at chirag " you got here quickly".
"we chartered a plane." there was a little boy inside the grown man, the attorney, the new father. ho wanted to scream out a denial. his father was invulnerable. his father was the NAYAK. he couldn't be lying in a hospital. "how bad is he?"
she was a doctor and could tell him precisely- the broken ribs, the collapsed lungs, the concussion and the internal bleeding, which her colleagues were even now struggling to stop. she was also a mother. "he is in surgery" she kept her hand tight on his and nearly managed to smile. "he is strong chirag. and dr.kaul is the best in the state" she had to hold on to that and to her family.
"pinky?"
"pinky's with lucy robinson" diana staid quitely. she knew well what it was like to hold emotions in. slowly she massaged antara's fingers. "dont worry"
"no i am not" this time antara managed the smile. "but you know raghu. pinky is his first grand duaghter. he will be full of question's when he wakes up" and he would wake up, she promise herself. by god he would.
the doctor came out of the icu.
"when can we see him" asked anna.
" now came the reply"
he was dreaming. even though the drugs raghu knew he was dreaming. it was soft world full of visions tapestried with memories. still he fought it, wanting, needing to orient himself. when he opened his ees. he saw antara. he needed nothing else. she was beautiful. always beautiful. the strong stubborn coolheaded woman he'd first admired, then loved, then respected. he tried to reach out but couldn't lift his hand. infuriated at his weakness, he tried againg to only to have anna's voice that float soomthly over him.
"lie still darling. i am not going anywhere. i am staying right here and waiting" he thought he felt her lips on the back of his hand. "i love you. raghunath nayak. damn you"
his lips curved. his eyes closed.
