𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐒𝐤𝐢𝐩.

At Ujjain, Madhya pradesh.

  काल हर!

कष्ट हर!

  दुख हर!

  सुख संपत्ति कर!

!! नमः पार्वती पतये !!

!! हर हर महादेव !!

As soon as the chant of "Har Har Mahadev" echoed. A  girl wearing Orange coloured Anarkali with golden embroidery, Lightest shade of bangles with golden colured Chunks bangles in between them, Small pair of Jhumkas and very thin chain around her neck, Bowed her head in front of The Jyotirlinga in reverence and immersed herself in darshan.

"Hey Mahadev, Kehte hai ki jisko aap bulate ho wo kese na kese aa hi jaata hai. Thank you mujhe apne nagar bulane ke liye. Mene to sirf khwab dekha tha yaha aane ka par aapne usey sach kar diya." She said it in her mind while holding slight happy tears in her eyes.

She straightened up and again gazed up at the Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga with very thankful emotions within herself and relieved smile.

(Hey mahadaev, They say that the one you call somehow always finds their way to reach you. Thank you for calling me to Your City, Your Ujjain. I had only dreamed of coming here, But you turned that dream into reality.)

It was like her smile was telling that if she is somehow taking her last breathe here. She will left this world very happily. It was all because her biggest dream has finally came true.

Without turning her back, she slowly walked towards the exit. Her eyes still fixed on the Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga. When she reached at the exit of the door, she slightly raised her feet and stretched her right hand to touch the bell above hanging on the door & rang the bell.

After the bell slowly she half bowed till her hands touched the floor. After touching floor she touched her eyes, forehead & lips with the same hand's fingers to take blessings. After taking last blessings she started moving downwards through stairs while looking at prasad & phone at her hand to check if she dropped something unknowingly. It was tough for her to hold them properly because of crowd.

Just as she reached downstairs, Suddenly she collided with something hard as she was not looking ahead.

She slightly raised her hand to rub her forehead, But her bangle got stuck in her dupatta and because of crowd she roughly pulled her dupatta to untangle it from her bangle & raised her head to say sorry to the person with whom she collided.

𝐈𝐬 i𝐭 𝐇𝐞𝐫?.. 𝐈𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫?.. 𝐈𝐒 𝐈𝐓 𝐇𝐄𝐑?..

My mind was chanting only these three words from the moment i saw her. And my heart is also not helping me though. It was beating very fast, very loud like drumwhile looking at this woman infront of me who just collided with me.

Suddenly she looked up, Her dark black eyes met mine.

And..

Fuck! It is really her.

𝐈𝐒 𝐈𝐓 𝐇𝐄𝐑?..

My mind was chanting only these three words from the moment i saw her. And my heart is also not helping me though. It was beating very fast, very loud like drumwhile looking at this woman infront of me who just collided with me.

Suddenly she looked up, Her dark black eyes met mine.

And..

Fuck! It is really her.

My Girl, My Woman, My Lord.

Whom I was searching from years.

For seeing whom I had Yearned for years.

Finally she is right here, right infront of me.

Those same eyes, which I had seen years ago.

This same girl for whom I had Yearned for years.

My trance of thoughts broke as I heard her Voice,

"I am sorry, I am really really sorry. I didn't mean to-"

"It's okay, I am sorry too"  I politely cut her off because, ofcourse why the hell will i listen sorry from her mouth. She is meant to rule me.

But wait a second.

Great! Just Great, Mr. Sthir Yadav.

You the Cold- Hearted, Disciplined Man, Who had never said sorry to someone.

You the Self Controlled Man, who had never even accepted sorry from others.

Because for you the word "sorry" doesn't exist at all.

Because for you, Punishment means more than just a word "sorry".

And here you are saying sorry for the second time in your life to the very same person,even there is no mistake of yours.

Great!

My inner mind thought. But before i could say anything, I saw her moving towards the footwear stand.

Just as I was going to move towards her, my gaze instinctively landed at the ground and I saw something which make me halt at my place. There was Mahadev's small size of paper photo which has fell from her hands. But she was looking unknown to it.

Maybe Because of the crowd.

Just as I bowed to pick the photo. I noticed something else too.

It was some kind of chunk lying there & then I realized that It was her. Maybe It had broken when she had roughly pulled her dupatta from her bangles.

I slightly moved ahead still half bowing to pick them up. But because of crowd a Man put one of his foot on my hand.

A hiss left my lips as his foot slightly crushed my hand because of crowd. There is no way I can remove my hand from there.

And not that I intend to remove until her bangle's chunk is on ground.

It is Her's. It is sacred for me. And there is no way I'm gonna let it touch from Someone's feet.

Not even Mine, Not even from others.

So I remained putting my hand on it, Saving it from getting touched by someone else rather than me.

Soon the Man moved ahead & I quickly removed my hand from the ground while rising up to my height, holding chunk in my hand.  I moved towards the footwear stand where she is standing while putting the chunks into my pocket.

My feets barely touching the ground beneath me. My strides hurried and desperate for glimpse of that black eyes, ruling over me since years.

In no time I reached behind her.

"Excuse me." I said.

Just as she turned towards me, her phone slipped from her hands.

But before she can pick the phone. I lowered myself down & picked it up.

I passed it towards her after standing while she was looking clearly embarrassed and her cheeks were slightly pink because of embarrassment.

Seeing her embarrassed face, amusement flickered over me. She moved her hand towards me and after taking her phone from my hands, she said "Thank you so much."

Slowly I lifted my hand infront of her in which her Mahadev's photo was present.

She was confused at first, Her brows furrowing.

But then suddenly her whole face get covered up with shock as the realization drawn her in.

She once again said "Thanks a lot and so sorry."  Without looking at me.

I didn't said anything just kept looking at her, searching for eyes. But she still didn't looked at me. I huffed mentally and stretched my right hand infront of her for handshake & said " Hey! I sm Sthir. Sthir Yadav. "

Maybe She'll look at me now. Hesitantly, She also shaked her hand with me & said " Hello! I am Riyanshi Saraswat. "

Yeah! I know Jaan.

I thought in my mind because clearly I can't say it infront of her. And still she didn't looked at me. Please Jaan Atleast look at me once. I'm trying really hard to gain your attention and here you're looking at the ground rather than me.

I opened my mouth to say more, hoping that maybe this time but before i could say something to her. We heard a girl calling out My Jaan's name & telling her to come.

She instantly pulled out her palm from my hand.

And again said "Thank you & so sorry." And left. Literally Left like this. Without even turning back or looking at me for the last time. She just left.

I looked at her retiring figure.

"𝐔𝐟𝐟! 𝐀𝐛𝐡𝐢 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢 𝐲𝐞 𝐚𝐛 𝐰𝐚𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐬 𝐤𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐝𝐡𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐡𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐚 𝐢𝐧𝐡𝐞. "

(Uff! I just met her how am i supposed to find her again now?)
