"Aditya ", they both said in unision.
At that time they heard sounds of boulders falling.
" What are you doing", said Raj hiding Kenny behind him.
" You said man to man Rajeev", said the spirit. " No need of others in here."
" Are you real", Kenny asked softly.
Aditya just stared at her....
" ARE YOU", he said. "You won't disappear again han Dhara".
" I am...", Kenny halted. " I won't ", she said.
" So Tamas killed you", asked Raj. " We know that. Why else do you bother her", he pointed to Kenny.
" I don't", then he looked at Kenny and said,
" I am sorry. I have just lost you so many times."
" You loved her", she said. " Why do you kept rejecting her"?
" Because she was too young to be my widow. Don't be surprised. Gautam was my friend. Aditi told me my future", he said.
" But aunt told me", Kenny was saying then suddenly she looked at Raj and her eyes widened.
Aditya smiled.
" She told that you have to wait long right", he said.
Kenny was speechless.
"You have the chance Rajeev to complete the love of centuries. Don't mess up".
" I won't", he said. " So Srikant and Vikram you ", asked Raj.
" Yes", he said sadly.
" So much suffering", Kenny said weakly. " All because of the curse that Gautam gave. So Raj will have to kill his brother too".
She was in tears.
" You were always a kind soul Dhara", said Aditya softly.
" Yet you killed her", said Raj. " Or was that a curse too"?
" It was a curse", said Aditya. Suddenly he turned dangerous. " BUT I DID KILL HER."
Kenny shivered as tears flew from her eyes.
" That makes you a b*st*rd", said Raj.
" Doesn't matter", said Aditya ,"But she had touched womanhood. She was an unparalleled beauty and men were looking at her. SHE WAS MINE".
" Was she beautiful ", Kenny asked softly.
" An apsara( angel)", said Aditya. " I suffered later", he said.
" Srikant", said Raj.
Aditya just nodded.
" Vikram's sacrifice washed the sin on ...on..OUR SOUL", Raj still could not believe he was Aditya.
Aditya's face hardened..
" SEARCH THE WEAPON", he said. " Your enemy has recognized you. Be smart. I was brave but not smart. Don't make the mistakes I and Srikant made".
" You mean Vikram was smart", said Kenny.
" The best", smiled Aditya. " ALL THE BEST".
" I am not scared of you", said Kenny. " I want peace for you and her".
" Then marry me", he said. " Be happy".
Complete this love of centuries...he spoke in her mind.
He disappeared.
About that time Solly reached them.
" Assh*le you enter anywhere without protocols", he barked.
" I love you too Solly. Now lets collect the things from here which we feel are important and take them back to palace".
Other men had reached there by then.
" Here you moron. I need to check your vitals", said Ro.
" Kenny first", said Raj.
Ro obeyed his leader. Kenny was low on oxygen. She was immediately given oxygen mask. Surprisingly Raj was fine.
He was thinking :- WOULD I KILL KENNY IF I DIE? The answer terrified him.
" Ten centuries Aditya and we haven't changed a bit", he said.
Kenny recovered fast. Aditya was fine until she was with Raj. But Raj knew how he felt when Rahul approached her.
" Dhara", he thought. " Gunjan and Riya". The moment Aditya's soul found them with others their sufferings began. Riya was engaged to Manav. He was sure Vicky tortured her till she became his.
KENNY
She ignored him...bike accident and fire.
Danced with Rahul- poison.
BUT IT WAS NO PROBLEM WHEN HE QUIETLY TOOK HER SLAPS.
But where Rahul was concerned murder dominated his thoughts.
He was in deep thought as Parry approached him.
" Raj", said Parry
" Hmm", he said.
" Your daddy called. He wants to talk to you".
Raj dialled back
" Daddy", he said.
" Raj you will be with me tomorrow ",he said.
" Daddy do you have a will", he asked out of the blue.
" Not yet", said Ramcharan.
" Make one naming Veer as your heir", said Raj.
" Okay", Ram understood. " Gaurav and Veer thought you are similar to Vicky. Both will be present tomorrow. After tomorrow they should change their views".
" Absolutely daddy. And one more thing", said Raj.
" Shoot".
" I need to marry Kenny asap.Her fate needs to be bound to me. Its for her safety too", said Raj.
FOR A MOMENT HE SAW DEATH IN ADITYA'S EYES.
" I killed her".
" Marry me".
Both the statements were said with same deep emotions.
Night time
Raj went to her arms at night.
" He hurt you beautiful ", he said taking her in his arms.
" HE LOVED HER", she really seemed happy.
" He killed her", said Raj.
Kenny shook her head
" She chose that death Raj. I know that. I can never live without you too. Besides his soul still suffers."
She touched his chest where his heart was and said,
" I love you. I shall only belong to you. And yes I will marry you".
Somewhere inside him Raj felt a deep satisfaction.
She smooched him. Raj deepened the kiss. Then he suddenly broke it.
" Aaann", she protested.
" Before I lose it beautiful I need to tell you something", he said.
" What", she pouted.
Such a cute little bunny.
" Don't mention our encounter with Aditya to anyone. He said my enemy has recognized me. So we need to be careful.", said Raj.
" Also tomorrow I am taking you to Oberois. That fellow is an old man. Lets not talk about his son and give him more pain", said Raj.
" As you say my tiger", she pouted cutely.
" NOW COME HERE", she ordered.
Raj's lips curved into a smile.
" As if I could ever say no to that invitation ", he chuckled.
They hurriedly undressed as they went to each other's arms. Moans grunts and body slamming to each other followed. Soon the explosion of pleasure was attained.
As they slept together Aditya watched over them happy tears in his eyes.
Someone touched his shoulders.
" DHARA", he said in shock. SHE NEVER CAME TO HIM AFTER HER DEATH.
" Gotcha. You loved me", she said proudly.
" You too were jealous of other men like I was jealous of those girls".
" I killed you moron. And you are rejoicing that I was jealous", said Aditya shaking his head.
" No you moron. I am rejoicing our love. Look at them. They will culminate our story. A love of centuries ", she said.
They both looked at the couple sleeping blissfully in each other's arms.
Dhara sighed Finally she thought.
" You still love me", he asked.
" Now, then and forever", she said as the souls merged together as one.
Aditya was finally at peace.
