It was early morning, Arjun was doing his daily exercises in the frontyard of the Lakshagriha. Facing the sun and doing Surya-namaskar, he streched his body.

The sunlight of the dawn fell on his body, making his unique dark skin shine like silver. It was a pleasant morning but to Arjun it wasn't.

He had written to Rukmika asking the reason for the delay for her letter. His mind was mediating between different possible reasons.

Until and unless he gets a letter from Rukmika, he won't be able to get peace of mind and till then no morning, no matter how beautiful, would be pleasant to him.

He joined his hand in front of the sun, done with his Surya namaskar. Even in the radiance of the sun, he saw the radiant face of Rukmika that he had captured that day in his mind and heart.

"Rajkumar ?" A servant approached him.

"Yes ?" Arjun looked at him and his gaze first fell on the scroll in his hand.

"A letter for me ?" Arjun asked raising his eyebrows in excitement.

"Yes Rajkumar." The servant said giving it to him.

"Finally !" Arjun smiled after a long time.

He then took a necklace he was wearing and happily gave it to the servant.

"Rajkumar is gracious." The servant bowed and left.

Arjun smiled widely as he unrolled the scroll and found a red rose in it. He chuckled realising Rukmika has definitely written something good. He then started reading the letter.

Dear Arjun,

Forgive me for I was not able to send a letter to you since many days. It seems as though my hands and heart are not able to coordinate.

I wish to say many things to you, but I am unable to. I wish to write but where do I find words that can express my thoughts ? Please try to understand my dilemma.

Sending a rose as a sign of my apology.

Yours truly
Rukmika

A blissful expression appeared on Arjun's face as he held the letter close to his heart. He smelled the rose and then placed a kiss on top of its petals.

"She loves me.... SHE LOVES ME !" Arjun exclaimed happily.

Arjun looked at the letter to read it again and again, getting the same bliss each time.

"Now I must also send her a letter. She must be wondering what my response would be." Arjun muttered.

He then ran towards his room, closing the door for quietness. He sat down on the desk, took out a paper and dipped it in ink.

Arjun thought for a moment and started writing the message from his heart.

Pyar chupa hai khat me itna
Jitne sagar me moti
Chum hi leta haath tumhara
Paas jo tum mere hoti
Phool tumhe bheja hai khat me
