The Broken Heart - Heart That Is Hurt (Part-1)
"This... what are you saying, no... you are lying, how can this happen... perhaps you must have had some misunderstanding... !!" Shraddha, dressed in a red wedding dress, said in stammering words.
"We are telling the truth Shraddha daughter, this is the truth...!!" Middle-aged Rajveer standing in front of Shraddha said sadly.
"Tell me that all these things are lies, this cannot happen, no he will never do this…!" While saying this, tears welled up in Shraddha's eyes and her steps started wavering.
Shraddha's throat was choked, the words said by Rajveer a moment ago hit her heart like a knife and she started crying. All the people present at the wedding venue were surprised and started talking among themselves, the words of some people were very bitter which were piercing Rajveer's ears like an arrow. His eyes had become moist and he bowed his head in shame. Shraddha standing in the pavilion suddenly started breathing uncontrollably, Shraddha started having difficulty in breathing. Her steps faltered and she fell on the ground. Shraddha's body lying on the ground started shaking uncontrollably, Shraddha's hands and legs started moving and she started writhing. Seeing her condition, Rajveer, his wife Kamna and others ran to Shraddha in worry.
Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India
A wedding atmosphere was created in Mehra House, the whole house was decorated with lights and flower garlands. Mehra House looked very beautiful from outside and was shining brightly at 12 o'clock in the night. The small garden nearby was illuminated with lights. At this time, all the guests and relatives had gone to sleep due to the tiredness of the whole day but "Ashwath" and his friends were still awake and talking in the garden. Ashwath, sitting among his friends, was completely calm, there were no expressions on his face, his eyes were slightly tilted so that no one could sense the storm going on inside him.
Then Ashwath's friend Gautam suddenly looked at him and placed his hand on his shoulder and casually asked - "What happened friend, why is your face hanging, please say something?"
"I don't feel like speaking…..!!" Ashwattha said sadly.
"Why? Why don't you want to say, we are your friends, if there is anything, please tell me…!!" Aman asked looking at her face.
"You said, I don't feel like speaking!" This time Ashwath said in a slightly louder voice and got up and went to the other side.
Aman and Gautam knew the reason for his not talking, but unaware of all this, Vicky said in a funny tone - "It seems that the guy is nervous, if he gets married tomorrow, the advantages of being single will end, then he will have a wife from tomorrow." Have to roam around only holding the pallu…!!"
"Stop talking nonsense, she is in tension here and you have to make fun of me!" Gautam said while silencing him.
"I was just trying to lighten the mood, why is he so upset?"
"Is there any reason, don't worry...!!" Aman said.
"So why am I getting worried and anyway, I have no interest in getting myself into trouble!" Vicky said while picking up the biscuit from the table and eating it.
Ashwath was standing on the other side, listening to his words from one ear and letting them out from the other ear. The winds were blowing a little strong during the night, which had spread a soothing coolness in the atmosphere, but Ashwath's heart was not feeling at ease. Memories of the past were revolving in his mind like a movie. Ashwath was very worried about his marriage, it was impossible for him to forget "Dhara" and marry another girl. "Her" face again flashed in Ashwath's mind, suddenly a drop of tears dripped from his eyes which he soon wiped away. Seeing Ashwath standing peacefully in the corner, Aman and Gautam realized that Ashwath was sad about his past but Vicky was still busy eating. Gautam could not bear to see Ashwath's condition and he stood up and walked towards him.
"Don't be so sad, I can understand the reason for your sadness but...!!" Gautam said this by placing his hand on Ashwattha's shoulder, then Ashwattha interrupted him.
"But yes, no matter how much you roam around with a smile on your face, the pain hidden in the heart does not diminish!" Ashwath said looking at the moon shining in the sky. In the glow of the moon, the tears standing in Ashwath's eyes were also shining, he started seeing "the face of that one girl, Dhara" in the moon.
"How should I show you the wound in my heart?
The day passed without you, the evening passed without you
The life is gone with the breath, the bright face is gone.
Your shadow resides in my eyes, now tears
In my eyes "
Gautam was unable to bear Ashwath's tears, after all he considered him like his brother. Gautam placed his hand on his shoulder and explained to him - "Look Ashwath! Life does not stop after someone leaves, you forget your past and a new chapter of your life is going to start from tomorrow, it will be better." You make him yours…!"
On hearing Gautam's words, Ashwath started looking directly into his eyes, his eyes had become a little red.
Ashwath looked at Gautam and said seriously - "Sometimes we remain stuck in our past from where it becomes impossible for us to get out. How will I be able to live my life in the future when I am stuck in my past?" I am staying, I am doing this marriage only for my father, nothing more than this, we will just spend our lives living in the past…!"
"This important life is not meant to be spent Ashwath!" Aman came in between and said.
"I know, but for me this is just like wasting my life, I will spend my whole life with the help of the moments I lived with her, I don't need anything else...!" Ashwath said in harsh words.
"What will you gain by complicating your own life, you will unknowingly ruin your life as well as the life of the girl who is marrying you!" Aman said scolding him.
This time Ashwath became silent for a few moments and then he gave a short answer - "I don't care about anyone...!"
Saying this Ashwath entered the house, Gautam and Aman again became worried after seeing his condition. Vicky, who was sitting at a distance, unaware of what the three of them were saying, had filled his stomach with biscuits and now he started feeling sleepy, he came to them yawning.
"Aahhff... should we go to sleep? I am feeling sleepy, if I don't sleep now then how will I dance in the wedding procession tomorrow!" Vicky said yawning.
"With my feet...!" Gautam said.
Vicky (irritably) - "I also know how to dance!"
"Then why are you asking such absurd questions?" Gautam said in the same tone.
"Enough... now stop this fight and go to sleep, right now Ashwattha is more important for us than your fight!" Aman stopped both of them from fighting and took them with him and went inside the house.
