Chapter 40: chapter 40

Surya was running towards the hill in a hurry and saw Sandhya walking to the top. Surya started rushing to her and screamed, “Sandhya, stop!”Sandhya listened to the scream and wondered how Surya might have known this place and increased the pace of her walk. He screamed his heart out, “Sandhya, please don’t walk away from me! There’s darkness prevailing around me without you. Sandhya, let the flaws in my horoscope burn in hell, this is stupidity. Even the Gods can’t separate us!”But she wasn’t concentrating at his words. She knew that it isn’t safe for Surya as the time progresses.With a trembling voice, she said, “I can’t, Surya! Let me go. I can save you and I want to save you!”“No, Sandhya! This is a terrible mistake. I love you with all my heart! You are my everything!” Sandhya halted for a second at those words.Surya continued, “I don’t have any flaws in my horoscope! This is bullshit! Please don’t leave me.”“No, Surya. Aunt said the truth. It is my life or yours. Let me sacrifice my life and please don’t stop me,” she said and reached the edge of the hill.Surya’s heart was racing, “Sandhya, please don’t. Don’t step forward. Here, grab my hand!”“I’m sorry, Surya! I love you! I love you with all my heart. If there’s another life for me, I want to be your wife! Goodbye, Surya!”“No, Sandhya. Stop!” Surya screamed.She smiled gently at him for the one last time and as Surya ran towards her, Sandhya jumped into the river. Surya’s world was pushed into darkness for a second. He screamed her name and jumped into the river, the very next second. All of the family members reached the banks of the river and everyone was in utter disbelief. Surya started looking to find the traces of Sandhya. Surya struggled for a while and drowned into the river. Ravi and Venkatesh jumped into the river and started searching for Surya and Sandhya.After a while of intense struggle, they spotted Surya and Sandhya together, unconscious. Ravi and Venkatesh swam to them and dragged them out of the river. Both of them were unconscious and everyone started tearing up. Vinay rushed to them and started pressing Sandhya’s belly. Rona rubbed her palms and feet. Ravi followed the instructions of Vinay and tried to press Surya’s belly. They were tensed and followed Dr. Vinay. After a lot of struggle, Surya and Sandhya puked the water and gasped for breath at the same time. Vinay turned Sandhya and so did Ravi to Surya. They were breathing heavily and their eyes were searching for each other. They looked into each other and Surya rushed to hug Sandhya, weeping. Sandhya held him and sobbed hard. Everyone felt relieved and Meenakshi rushed to Dr. Vinay and said, “Son, Thank you! You saved my son. Thank you so much!”Vinay smiled gently and Ravi rushed to hug Vinay. Surya was weeping hard, “Sandhya, you wanted to leave me alone, huh? What the hell would I die without you!”Sandhya was breathing heavily and said, “I’m not leaving you anymore, I promise you!”They wept hard and were lost in each other arm’s. Meenakshi joined her hands and prayed to the sky. Maggie rushed to both of them and hugged them hard. Everyone were relieved and tears were crawling down their cheeks.The Swamiji who was in deep meditation till then, opened his eyes and smiled and thought to himself, “Oh Lord Shiva! You saved those innocent lives. You proved Love is beyond everything! You proved Love has the power to bend the flaws of horoscope and to win the universe! You proved Love is supreme! Hail Lord Shiva!”A couple of days later,Ravi and Ron’s wedding is going on. They were seated as bride and the groom. Surya and Sandhya were ruling the event with their charm. Happiness prevailed. Ravi and Rona’s parents were so happy to be found to each other. All the elders looked at the new couple.Another day,Sandhya walked into a room with a white saree on and a glass of milk. She was extremely shy and it was their first night. Everyone pushed her in and closed the doors, giggling. Surya walked to her and was amazed by her beauty. He held her face and kissed her cheeks gently. A chill ran through Sandhya’s spine and she left out a heavy breath. Surya put the glass on the table and grabbed her by her waist. He held her head and lifted to lock into her eyes. They were looking into each other’s eyes as if it was the end of the world, as if nothing mattered to them. They were lost in love. Sandhya smirked and held Surya by his collar as he grabbed her tight. Surya smirked back and Sandhya wrapped her arms around his shoulders. Surya and Sandhya lips were shivering, their eyes were locked into each other’s, their love was drooling down their forehead in the form of sweat. Their lips conquered each other’s, followed by their bodies. They could feel their breath on their faces. And without halting for another second, their bodies proceeded to make love to each other. And they skin’s combined into one, so did their bodies, and souls.At the end, Sandhya and Surya’s love prevailed, and even the Gods and the fate couldn’t trouble them anymore.THE END
