PROLOGUE(PART 1)
As the arrow made contact with it's target, the apple neatly split down the middle. The onlookers murmured approvingly only to hush again as the second arrow was notched.
There was a slight whistle in the air and the second arrow too made contact with its designated target.
Followed by a third, fourth and fifth arrow. In quick succession. As each arrow hit the target ,the enthusiasm of the onlookers grew, so that by the time the sixth and last arrow was notched, the air was palpable with excitement.
As if the tension had reached the archer, a pair of eyes looked up, surveying the crowd in a bored way. Then with a slight head tilt, the arrow was released and to the applause of the crowd ,the sixth and final arrow reached the target smack in the center.
Even as the crowd was in the middle of applauding, the archer turned away with a shrug of shoulders and walked away . Eager to get away from the crowd, the archer didn't notice a girl breakaway and follow.
It was going to b sunset soon and this time of the day, the approaching twilight was always painful One more day gone by. One more sleepless nite was coming. If sleep did come, it brought with it dreams of memories best forgotten.
Sunsets and solitude were the two things which allowed the truth to come out. Painful, heart breaking truth.
"It will night soon"
With out turning around the archer knew it was the girl.
The girl had walked up alongside .She looked at her companion and wondered if the pain would ever lessen. Time was supposed to heal wounds ,but sometimes that didn't happen.
Time, distance even grueling schedules weren't enough..
The moon was coming out and it was full moon.
The girl sighed and the worry in her eyes was evident, as she saw her companion's shoulders hunch over slightly as if in pain,as they both watched the moon in its full glory. The longer they stayed ,the harder it would b to leave.
Shaking her head and modulating the tone of her voice, she put a hand on the shoulder of the archer.
" We should get going. We have a stop to make on the way home"
Making her tone light and teasing she added as an afterthought
"Not that these clothes don't look gud on u. U look very dashing even, if I may say so.But I doubt the king would agree with my assessment. After all even dressed as a boy, u r still the most beautiful princess in the land, Rajkumari Sanyogita"
The archer turned around and took her turban off, revealing her face and shaking loose here long black wavy hair.as if shaking away bad thoughts. She offered a smile
"You r rite vaishali. My father will most certainly not approve. Lets get going."
Vaishali smiled bac and they both turned away from the moon .
Lauta de phir woh wade mere
Woh baatien meri
Tere liye kati jag ke
Woh raatein meri
Woh raat din who palchin sabhi
Woh sansen meri
Neend na aye tere bina
dil ghabraye tere bina
chain ne aye tere bina
