Love is like heaven, but it can hurt like hell.
Who do you turn to when the only person
in the world that can stop you from crying,
is exactly the one making you cry?
Pratigya Ban Jaaaayeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ...I am sure Many of u girls were wishing just this when Krishna was Applying that balm on her hand ..weren't you ??😆
It is still night...Pratigya and Krishna are continuing their wrangling..the heat is slowly building up..Pratigya is not in a mood to relent , she is going to keep digging until she finds the root that is poisoning their love....Pratigya "when u can say that u trust me and my character in front of the whole world,then why are you hurting me..[in a moving voice ] why do u hate me so much ?? [Krishna is unable to face this barrage has turned sideways but is listening keenly ]..
Krishna turns and looks at her square on the face "I want to.., I want to trust you !!I want to believe that u can never commit any wrong ,but what can I do..I am not able to forget even if I want to ??[frustrated he turns away] he turns and suddenly lunges at her "You want that I shud believe U??then take me to a doc, make him give an injection by which I forget all this bitter incidents ,All my memory gets erased ..Do U think I derive enormous pleasure thinking about all this [wags his fingers indicating no ]..I feel tormented and I have to bear the brunt of this torment "..Krishna looks at her for few sec in anguish [The Volcano has finally exploded..the simmering lava has began to flow carrying with it the pent up bitterness, rage, impotence,frustration and his fury are gushing forth ,unchecked ] * Kudos to Arhan, his whole body right from his furrowed eyebrow to his finger express the anger, pathos,his intensity of his feeling..pratigya [her voice weighed down by sorrow ] "Can u tell me ,how shud I prove it to u that I am virtuous,what will show u that I am not lying,that till date no corrupt hands have defiled me [Krishna looks away unable to imagine the scene ]If possible I would have resurrected that long dead Angad and would have coerced him into saying the truth,but I cant do that ,Now u tell me what shud I do for u to accept the truth "...Krishna is listening to her words and hearing the truth in her voice, he responds "Why are u asking me ?..Pratigya spontaneously cries out in a pathetic voice, her voice betraying her inner agony "Then whom to ask ?"...
she goes and stands in front of Krishna "If I do not ask u, then does this mean that I will be punished with ur hatred for the rest of my life,Will we be spending rest of our lifes, in the same house,under the same roof,in the same room like strangers ..Krishna is shocked on hearing this words, he turns away from her but her words resonate like a tolling bell , it penetrates the mist of hatred,dumb misery,hurt covering his heart and begins to disperse the negative feeling ..The words hit him like a thunderbolt and pierces though his darkness like a brilliant and bright lightning as he perceives the truth of her words..Pratigya takes a step closer and gently and tentatively places her hands on his shoulders..Krishna wakes up from his reverie,half turns and sees the hand but does not remove it ,HE just closes his eyes, At last he has found the solace he has been seeking, the comfort he had been searching for, the elusive peace that had left him,the pain recedes, the burning fire subsides...he has found his oasis in her little touch ......
The much needed showdown finally happened, things were to be cleared, doubts needed to be addressed ...and the redress has begun with Pratigya taking the initiative ....Today Krishna did not lash , nor did he taunt..he just exposed his soul, his tortured soul to Pratigya..and Pratigya tried to heal in the only way she knew by giving him her love,by telling him that she will be there her whole life even if he continued to treat her with hatred,even if he treated like a stranger, she will not leave him..ever... her words touched a chord in the tumultuous heart of Krishna, it seemed to calm the raging storm, douse the fiery inferno..her touch warmed him without burning him, it cooled him without chilling him, he seemed to draw all her love and bask in it ..for now the doors to Pratigya's heart has fully opened while the door's to Krishna's Heart is slightly ajar...never mind..it too will open in the richness of time...
He taught me how to love,
but not how to stop.
It doesn't take a reason to love someone,
but it does to like someone. You don't love
someone because you want to, you love someone
because you are destined too. It's because you
fall in Love with them, that you then try to
find a reason, but you always come up with
the answer, No reason!
Next day
Pratigya is rearranging her closet,when her eyes falls on the pink Sari, she recollects that this was the first gift given by her Aashiq [There is a nostalgic smile playing around her lips ]..She takes it out and gives a bashful look at her Patidev, Patidev is busy drinking Milk and doesn't give a glance in her direction..she hides it from his sight and changes her sari and wears his first gift ..Krishna has her back turned to her, when he turns , he is met by the glorious vision of an fairy clad in pink.his eyes light up with with billion candles, his lips curves into a smile full of pleasure at encountering his love wearing his gift and looking ravishing in it ..he slowly looks her over, relishing her shyness, delighting in her coyness...he is in a thrall and is riveted to the spot , once again lost in the battle of love ...so lost is he in his dreams that he loses the grip on the glass and lets go..Pratigya sees it in the nick of time and holds it from falling...Krishna's glance falls on her bruised hand and he notices the angry welt on her skin, Krishna curious and concerned "What happened ? What happened to ur hand ? "..Pratigya gets tensed ,she instantly covers up the actual incident by saying nothing just a minor accident while cooking in the kitchen , Krishna forthwith plonks the cup on the side desk and impulsively and automatically moves towards the closet where medicines are kept, then he realizes that he is supposed to be angry at her and not succoring her , checks himself turns towards Pratigya and says with concern and suppressed urgency "There are some ointments in the closet,take it and apply it,it will heal quickly "..
Pratigya has a sudden revealation, she looks like an angler who has finally figured out what bait to give this particular fish to hook it !! she is all smiles "there is no need for ointment , it will heal by itself " pauses to see whether the fish has taken the bait ,,IT HAS !!!Krishna with even more urgency urges her to apply the ointment , Pratigya gives a triumphant and pleased smile [she has finally caught her fish] ...Now she begins to reel it in ..,Assuming a butter would not melt in mouth innocent look , she looks at him angelically and guilelessly says"Then why don't you get it ur self ?"..The poor Fish can only gape at her helplessly ,lost in the charms of her wide innocent eyes...Hypnotized by her looks and mesmerizing voice he goes to the closet and rummages thru the clothes in search of the lucky ointment ..Pratigya is enjoying her hubby's attention and cant suppress a giggle at his inept way of searching , he turns to give her a look [cant resist taking a second third fourth look at her, can you?/...not blaming u..she is looking lovely 😊].. instantly Pratigya makes a great show of blowing at her bruised hand , communicating that she is virtually burning in hell, seeing this Krishna redoubles his efforts and discovers the hidden ointment and gets it for her and tells her to apply....but Pratigya knows that she has got the fish hook,line and sinker and she is in a playful mood , she wants to continue this love game ..she extends her hand and asks him to apply it himself ...but Krishna refuses to apply and says "Why shud I apply, u apply it urself ?" ......There ensues a brief game of I STUBBORN , U STUBBORN...WHO IS THE MOST STUBBORN ?? ............PRATIGYA [Righto!! 😆] .....Pratigya begins to walk away with a mulish and set expression ..Krishna "Hey Stop, where are U going swinging {ur Hips like that},come here, come here and stand"...Pratigya is immensely happy but hides her happiness and pleasure turns and gives him a look which clearly indicates that she is only doing it as a favor for him and only to please him, so he shud be very grateful for the kindness she is bestowing on him..Properly humbled Krishna holds her hand, gently begins to apply the salve on her hand while Pratigya looks on at her hubby with her eyes brimming with love, a deep, tender and ineffable feeling of affection. there is a catch in her throat ...she knows finally that her husband loves her deeply,committedly and irrevocably!!
It is official, with the Female BG Proclaiming that Pratigya has finally fallen in LUB with Krishna..she has successfully looked past his education, his brashness, his uncouthness,and has finally found the hidden diamond...it was reminiscent of the initial days with a marginal difference..The courtship will begin ..but with Pratigya taking the lead..she will initiate this round....and she already began to pave the path to his heart ...now all she has to do is dust off the cobwebs, cleanse the grime and fill it with radiant and Glorious love ...that he is a willing participant is added bonus...
The time when he let go of the tumbler and Pratigya catching it and steadying it was quite symbolic..till a few days back..it was Krishna who was holding the chalice of his love steadily in his hands, but there arose a unforeseen catastrophe which shook the very foundation of his love and the chalice wavered and just when it was in the danger of falling..Pratigya awakened and held it from falling and now both of them are holding the chalice of love,the chalice is suffused with their love and has fused them thru eternity ..
Love cures people -- both the ones who give it
and the ones who receive it.
