Serendipity
"And then?"
"And then love & faith trumped the curse , Dushyant & Shakuntala got united." , Yash narrated as Aarti lied on his laps listening to the story. "Aarti ji , now slowly slowly close your eyes & dream about us'"
Aarti forcibly shut her eye lids only to open them again , "Why did they got separated on the first hand Yash ji? Was there love weak?"
"Love is never weak Aarti ji. Sometimes its get dominated by fate. But true love stand strong through thick & thin." , Yash said as he caressed her hairs.
"But"
"Shh!" , Yash placed his finger on her lips. "Aarti ji. You don't have any exam on love. No need to get into the details. Its already 3'please sleep Aarti ji."
"One more story Yash ji." , Aarti pleaded.
"Oh god ! Aarti ji you have really become so stubborn. Why don't you sleep & let me sleep."
Aarti got up from his laps making a pout & pretended to sleep on the other side of the bed. Yash smiled & dugged his chin on her shoulder.
"Aarti ji." , Yash whispered , "We need to sleep early tonight." Aarti raised her eyebrows , Yash continued , "So that we can keep awake tomorrow , whole night." , Yash winked.
"Tomorrow?" , curious Aarti asked , "Whats tomorrow?"
"Our very first valentine." , Yash said as he pecked her forehead and engulfed her in his embrace.
The night passed before one could snore. Aarti woke up with a pleasant surprise. The whole room was adorned by rose petals. Yash grabbed Aarti's waist to moisten her with a peck when he heard someone knocking. Both sighed & headed to the door , It was Maya.
"Yash Beta! Are you ready?" , Maya shrieked.
"Ready for?"
"Ohh you forgot? You have to go to DholakPur for Minister Sahab's daughter's wedding?"
"Ohh I forgot. I'd like to take Aarti ji along."
"What? Oh You can't! The trek isn't smooth enough for her. Be quick , the car is ready." , and she left with a smirk on her face.
Yash lamented in anger & tugged his hairs , Aarti immediately pulled his hand to her & said, "What is this Yash ji? Don't be upset? Why do we need a special day to celebrate love? When we are together , everyday is a festival." , Aarti smiled but didn't get reciprocated , Yash left home with a long face.
The day was long drawn out & Yash was more than upset. The marriage had got over but it was 10:30 & he was very far from his house. He stared his watch & started ranting ," I have to reach! I have to reach there at any cost! For Aarti ji , and for us!"
He sat in his car & escalated his car with the jumbo speed. Seemed like whole town was getting married , the unmoving traffic was unbearable. He heard a loud horn of a running train from the near platforms , the train moved swiftly but he could read that Bhopal was one its destination. He swiftly got out & started running madly behind the train.The speed of the train was extremely high , so was his will. He kept running & finally caught the handle of the last coach & the train dragged him mercilessly for few seconds but the speed declined & finally it stopped at a village , Mangalpur which was the mid point of Bhopal & DholakPur. He was exhausted & his right foot was mangled but this didn't hinder fervent determination and he got up to chase his destination again. He was trying but his hurt foot wasn't allowing him to race , he was walking briskly on base of his left foot. After a few minutes he reached near a beautiful garden filled with red roses , he paused there , sighed , "How I wish Aarti ji was here."
"Yash ji?"
Yash couldn't believe his ears . He turned around for a shocking but an extremely pleasant surprise. Aarti was standing near a punctured car in a beautiful white sari , a gift he had placed in her wardrobe for this special day.
"This is too wonderful to be true" , he whispered 'What a beautiful dream."
She moved toward him & run her fingers slowly on his face then stepped back & burst in laughter. Yash was too stunned to say anything. He cupped her face & saw the pearls of tears in her eyes. Aarti hugged him , very tightly & he hugged her back with equal passion.
"When I stepped out of house , I was not thinking anything. I just had the strong belief on your belief. Your sad face was coming in my mind again & again Yash Ji. I did lose some strength when the car punctured but I don't know why , but I knew we'd meet."
"I can't thank lord enough for granting me you Aarti ji. Your love kept me going. Thank you for filling my life with so much of love & happiness. I love you Aarti ji." , He said as he embraced her again.
"I love you more than my life." , she soughed.
And , it began raining.
"Wow ! This can't get more beautiful! " , Aarti said cheerfully.
Yash clasped her hand & took her inside the garden. It was absolutely secluded & was brightened up by street lights . Aarti's eyes fell on a swing & she ran to sit on it , Yash joined in. His eyes fell on his watch , he said , "Aarti ji its 11:55. Only five minutes left! Hurry up!"
"For?" , she asked curiously.
He cupped her face & pulled her to him , "Valentine day doesn't get complete without valentine kiss."
Aarti blushed as Aarti tucked her hairs behind her ears to clear the obstructions. As soon as their faces brushed , the street light went off making the garden absolutely dark.
"You don't need light for it " , Aarti whispered , "Shut eyes are more preferred in the art of kissing!" , she chuckled.
Merry Yash pecked her forehead in delight then headed for the big valentine kiss.
