Part 4:::Unmasked:::
Alina bid farewell to all of her guests commiserating and congratulating her on her new beginning out of confinement. All Alina wanted to do now was just have the place to herself and do one last task. Reuniting a magical couple known as Abhay and Pia. Easier said than done especially with Abhay hell bent on keeping Pia away from him but destiny wanted them together. Alina had to help Pia accept Abhay in all of his gore. She had to love the monster within Abhay. Yes her memory wasn't fully there but that is irrelevant. Pia's memory would jog itself back as soon as she started hanging around Abhay again. She'd already got a big chunk back thanks to her little accident.
Alina took Abhay to the balcony-I have something for U Abhay. Wait here i'll go get it.
Abhay nodded looking out od the window-Ok. But i have to go home after this.
Alina smiled-U are always in a rush Abhay. (Points at him) One night with me isn't going to do U any harm. Don't look so worried. I won't pounce on U. Not with your mind still set on Pia. (Shakes her head locking Abhay's eyes with hers) I don't have to be a mind reader to know this Abhay. Its very evident written all over your eyes. Pia's the star that fell on U and U still haven't recovered from the super nova attack.
Abhay looked bleak-I know i am hurting U Alina.
Alina smiled back-Don't be worried about me Abhay. I'll dust myself and try again. But not with U. I am sure i have some one somewhere waiting for me. Now be a good boy and wait for me to get back.
Alina finds Pia waiting for her in her room fidgeting with her locket. Pia was anxious at the prospect of finding out Abhay's deep dark secret. Pia knew she could accept Abhay in any way she could get him but inside she felt restless for fear of being rejected again by Abhay. Pia couldn't handle another rejection. Everytime it got worse. Pia was certain if Abhay hurt her again she'd do something stupid.
Alina sat beside Pia holding her hand softly assuring Pia-Abhay won't have the heart to reject U Pia. Not after what U see of him. (Touches the locket) Pia have U ever wondered where this came from?
Pia confused scowled at Alina in a daze-No! I've had it for like ever.
Alina ordered Pia-Open it? The locket. I want U to see what's inside it. Then you'll understand a little about Abhay.
Pia did as Alina asked-Upening the locket to reveal an old photo of Abhay inside it and one pf Pia from before she lost her memory-I never...How did U...I (Lost for words) This is mine. I've had it since my memory...
Alina smiled brilliantly-Do U know what the purpose of this locket is Pia?
Pia shook her head again lost completely-I don't know.
Alina filled Pia in on the details-Its a magical talisman and it belongs to Abhay. It protects U against all evil beings like witches, darklings and the night creatures. You'll understand soon enough. This alerts Abhay where U are at all times and protects U from harm. As U have guessed it i am very much human but i have powers of my own this is why i read your mind before U even thought of a question. Abhay loved U so much he parted this with U a year ago. He never stopped loving U but he is protecting U from himself. Abhay gave U this right after he erased your memories to protect U from the woman you've found from the research U did on Maithali. Now i want U to wait in the shadows across this hallway. U will see everything.
Pia took all of Alina's information in-But it doesn't...This is not real...
Alina laughed-Seeing is believing Pia. Its your motto.
Piaconfused-I don't...
Alina to Pia-You'll inderstand very soon Pia.
Pia caressing her locket now-I now know why i can never get myself to take this off. I always used to feel so bare without it so i never bothered keeping it off. I always felt protected. Did Abhay really...
Alina got up taking a parcel out of her draw-Come on Pia time to get moving and start acting. U ready?
Pia got up nodding-What if Abhay wants nothing to do with me? I don't know if...
Alina held Pia's face locking her eyes-Do U have faith in your love for Abhay? Do U feel U can love Abhay for the both of U?
Pia blurted without thinking-Yes!
Alina smiled-U have your answer there. Now smile and no more sulking.
Abhay waited thinking about taking off now that Deepanita was out of Pia's life and Jeh was no longer an issue. Pia had kept him busy the past few months and wished he was relieved at leaving this town but his heart had sunk for some reason. Abhay heard footsteps behind him.
Abhay sounded glum-Alina. What kept U all this time?
Alina handed Abhay his present-Open it? Its not much but it made me think of U.
Abhay opened it to see inside the parcel was a ring. A gold ring with a crwon on it with a heart being held by hands-Its nice. I'm not into rings but this means a lot. I'll wear it forever..
Alina smiled brilliantly-Its a Claddagh ring from Ireland. Can U see the heart? It represents love which i already have for U. The hands around the heart represents friendship which i hope we'll have forever Abhay and finally the crown represents Royalty along with loyalty which i will always be to U Abhay.
Abhay felt Alina's bear hug-I never thought you'd get so sentimental over me Alina. I guess i really am a serial male magnet to U women.
Alina smacked Abhay-Whatever Abhay. (Alina places the ring on Abhay's finger) It suits U. (She kisses his cheek) Now i have something else to do to U Abhay. Forgive me.
Abhay taken aback by Alina's sudden reaction placing a silver chain around Abhay's neck to show his true nature to both Alina and Pia baring his pearly white fangs in excruciating pain glaring at Alina. Pia enters forth to see Abhay clearer petrified of Abhay yet intrigued at the same time. Her face showed Abhay her shock was filled with a twinge of a familiarity. Pia acted almost like she'd been invaded by another being inside of her. It pulled her closer to Abhay.
Abhay attempted to shun himself away from Pia and Alina but Pia was already in Abhay's path. He tried to escape but Pia grabbed hold of him warily removed his hands away from his face. She wasn't afraid anymore but wanted to see Abhay's face clearer. Pia's trembling fingers touched Abhay's face.
Alina broke the ice-This is Abhay's truth Pia. Now do U have the guts to accept Abhay just the way he is? This is the reason he's been pushing U away.
Pia could see flashes of Abhay saving her from a burning building. Then more flashes of Abhay placing her locket around her as she touched the locket with her free hand. Pia gasped at the recollection feeling her tumbling volcanic emotions erupting from within her-I've always known U were special Abhay but i never imagined you'd be a ...
Abhay finished-Monster?
Pia shook her head-Beautiful Abhay.
Abhay laughed angrily-Beautiful???????What version of me are U seeing Pia? I don't scare U?
Alina laughed at Abhay's sarcasm-Oh save this b**l S**t Abhay. I already warned Pia about U before she saw all of this. Does her face show any fear?
Pia managed weakly-I'm not afraid of anything any more Abhay. Just that you'll leave me again. Now that i know what U are i understand but i hate what you've done to me.
Abhay scoffed-Trust me i am hating myself for putting U through this and Alina how could U do this to me?
Alina crossed her hand then got between both Abhay and Pia pointing a finger at Abhay prodding him without reservation-Listen to some home truths Abhay. Enough of this walking on egg shells. I wish i could bang both of your heads together. Yours for your stupid Stay away from me Pia anthems along with save Pia from everything anthems its a little old now and Pia for not following your heart. Trust me and trust it. You're heart knows more than U do Pia. Now kids fight it out here. Before dawn arrives and Abhay turns to dust?
Pia afraid-Abhay we'd better take U inside.
Alina laughed-Pia i was kidding. U really aren't afraid are U?
Abhay cursed-Pia U should be repulsed by me. U should detest me? Not...
Pia shivering a little watching the moonlight Kiss Abhay's face making Abhay even more attractive-Abhay stop it! (Covering her ears to block Abhay's acidic tongue) I'll decide for myself. God U are so stubborn.
Abhay felt Alina drag his hand holding Pia's-What...
Alina finished-I can't take this any more people. I've had enough of your sad dialogues of Hate me Pia. Loathe me Pia. Detest me. I hate this so i will intervene and make it short but sweet. Pia do U accept Abhay as your life partner for the good and the bad despite knowing he is a monster? His terminology not mine.
Pia nodded-I can take Abhay in any form. Your not as scary as i thought you'd be Abhay and i don't need my memories to know how much i love U. I loved U from the first time i laid my eyes on U. Or is it the first time i ever had a flash of U. This heart on beats for U Abhay. It always will. Even when i hated U i always loved U. (Pia crying as she comes closer keeping Abhay's eyes glued to hers) I know i'm a pest. I am irritating and i annoy everyone with my Q and A sessions. I know i keep hurting U so that you'll talk to me even if U say nasty things to me i don't care. Life without U is no life Abhay. I don't care if U are a vampire, a toad or even a normal human being makes no difference to me because i fell in love with U. Not some mirage of a cooked up version of U of some fairytale because i know how dark this is. This love we have for each other is abnormal because loving U the way i do isn't normal Abhay. My heart hurts because it can't contain what i feel for U and U kill me every second of everyday that U discard my emotions and trample all over my heart. I don't care if i die today or tomorrow Abhay. If i am safe or not so long as i have U i can never be afraid. Do U think i am even living a life of a normal person by not having U here with me? I keep throwing myself at U shamelessly yet U keep murdering me in so many ways i can't do this any more Abhay. I swear one day i'll die of a heart...
Abhay covers Pia's mouth with his hands-Pia. U don't remember how many times U nearly died because of me.
Pia smiled-I don't care Abhay. My memories have shown me what i need to know. That i love U and despite U wiping them away they a returning in their own accord. All i know is you've always been there and will be ther but i need U in my life not as a bodyguard but as my life. My Lover Abhay. If U can't do this then just let me die and put me out of my misery.
Alina laughed-See Abhay? Your Pia is calling U out. This is the Pia U buried but she's breaking down all the shields resurfacing just for U. Both the Pia's are merging so fast U won't be able to fight the perfect version of Pia thanks To your meddling she is whole in a few more flashes she'll be complete again. Don't U see how perfect U both are. Now Pia has given U the perfect ultimatum. Now either accept her love and your fate which is to be together forever or risk losing her forever. Can U afford to let Pia down Abhay? Now Pia is at risk. Maithali will come for her and U know it. She won't stop until Pia is dead. I can assure U this isn't a threat. I've foreseen it and if U want to save her the best course of action is to be with her not against Pia.
Abhay saw through the errors of his way-I can't...
Alina laughed-U can't or won't Abhay?
Pia pulled Abhay to her heart-Do U want this heartbeat to stop Abhay because U are leading me to do something we'll both regret. Kiss me stupid.
Abhay was blackmailed into submission kissing Pia-Pia.
Pia finished-See Abhay we belong together even if nature hadn't intended us to be together we are always brought together by the elements.
Alina smiles-Now Abhay and Pia let me give U a parting gift. Love is never meant to be easy. Love is not the end. Its ongoing. Love is never ending Abhay. No Force can break what U have and this cycle will never break. You've earnt this Abhay. And Pia always keep Abhay on a tight leash. Life isn't meant to be easy and neither is love. Abhay U will always be at a crossroad. No matter which turn U take. Just try your best and always love each other and be the others Shield. Together as a couple is your greatest stregth and trusting each other.
With this Alina had served her purpose watching over Abhay and Pia as their guardian was now going to be a full time task for Alina.
