Away from the usual buzz of city life, this calm serene place was giving peace to Chandini. After her mom's death she never visited this Devi ma temple on hills. Well, there was no one to take her to favorite places. It was always, she huddled up in Dhore's mansion except for every day visit to her school. Nothing much changed in the temple premises except for the well-developed roads.
Sitting in temple, gazing the surrounding all she found was happy people, not that they are free of troubles or crisis but everyone had someone to accompany them, share their griefs with, unlike her. Her focus landed on a pretty lady who was all alone just like her but she seemed happy unlike her. Talking with someone on her mobile, she walked towards parking to get into the car that entered the premises. Seeing the airport guy walkout of car and hug this lady she felt a tinge of disappointment. She laughed at her own petty state, may be disappointments was only written in her entire life. With no reasons, she was thinking about his eyes for past 2 days seemed like a big mistake of hers. Not liking the fact of her thoughts wandering around him, she diverted her mind process.
Kavya started early in morning to meet her parents place early morning, without her by side and nothing much to do Chandini decided to gatecrash her favorite places all alone. She hated this solitary, but somewhere she knew, there is no escape for her from this.At times like this when she was all alone, things that bothered Chandini were her past , thoughts on future made her sick with fear. She remembered the last time when she was alone, without Kavya by her side.
Before 3 years, Sydney
"I am going to miss you Kavya. Come back soon" it was the time that chandini came to facts that though Kavya was her BG as per her buaji,she is the only person she could communicate her feelings without any fear or hesitation.Though Kavya was elder to her they had this inseparable bond,more like soul sisters,more like friends.
"Sure Chandu .I'll be back even before you realize am gone" Kavya said making Chandini chuckle. After a brief hug Kavya left for Airport.
By Night, she was munching on popcorn and watching her favorite movie when Buaji entered her room.
"Chandini, you will be getting married to Pradeep on your 21st birthday" without waiting for any reaction of hers Buaji, exited the room.
All Chandini could do was stare at the wall, in front of which Buaji stood a few minutes before. Coming out of shock, Chandini rushed behind Buaji.
"Buaji, have you gone insane? How could you come to such a disturbing idea? What happened to you? I know he is your favorite, but don't you know what relation we share? OMG from where did these thoughts occur? I just thought you wanted to keep me away from him after knowing the truth so that's why you made me come here with you. But but..." Chandini wasn't able to complete anything sanely, tears were blurring her eyes and she sensed a strong head ache developing.
"Chandini, I don't mind whatever you say, or whatever you are bothered about. You are going to marry him and that is final." Buaji said in a stern tone
"But I don't want to marry him, not only him but anyone at all. After what I have gone through I don't have anything in me to get married. I am living my life as per yours and his rules. He doesn't want me to get graduated fearing his position in his business empire so you didn't even let me do my graduation. I accepted even that decision leading my life as per your say.I have never been out of this house for these past years except for my schoolings, and that too has happened in supervision of Kavya; I never lived my life and I have blindly accepted all these decision of yours. But not this, not at all. I thought you cared for me, you loved me but no it was always Pradeep for you right. I would rather die marrying him." Chandini let out what she has been burying inside her for years together. Tears were pouring and she wasn't able to maintain the usual calm, docile posture of hers.
