" IMLIE "

" IMLIE PLEASE "

" OPEN YOUR EYES , DAMN IT "

The silent forest at night was witnessing the helplessness of a man to wake up his precious one to life.

A man who chose to stay silent after an incident in his life, was crying his heart out to not witness another death in front of his eyes. He was yet to say what he feels for her.

He was not ready to let her go.

He tried many ways to wake her up but she was behaving stubborn.

He looked up at the sky with an angry glare.

" How could you be so unfair to me ? "

" Haven't I asked you something, sita maiyya ?"

" You forgot?"

" I just asked you to give me a chance to be known to the world by her name .... Was that too much to ask for ?"

" Was it too much to ask you to let me stay close to her ?"

" Was it too much to ask you for not let me loose my reason to live ?"

" TELL ME ...."

" Is it because I don't pray daily ? "

" Or is it that you are punishing me for something wrong i did ?"

" I have never disrespected you, never let you be away from her even for a day, never asked you anything for myself but always asked for her..... May be for the first time I was selfish to ask for myself ...... I am sorry ..... I am sorry for being selfish for once .... Sorry for asking you to give her to me as a gift for life..... I will take my words back but please don't punish me with such a huge thing for being selfish .... "

" If  that is the case then, why punish her ?"

" You knew.... You knew.... I can bear anything for her .... Even then you chose to punish her and not me ..... Why ?"

" I beg you not to take her away .... I beg you.... Please .... Please for once listen to me "

" You can't take your child away ...."

THERE WAS NO ANSWER.

He hugged her ...... Close ..... so close as if sita maiyya would come any minute and take her away from him......

" Let's make a deal ..... "

" You bring her back to life and I will never ask you anything for myself ...."

" Is that okay ?"

" ANSWER ME...."

THERE WAS NO ANSWER.

He recalled that to gain something he has to loose something dearest.

He was ready to loose anything for her.

He looked up again and said,

" I have said this before and will say it again, Aryan Singh Rathore will not think of profit and loss when it comes to his loved ones"

" So even if I may loose her to you, I will gain her life in negotiation..... What say ? Done deal ?"

For the first time aryan singh rathore was making a deal to get a loss.....

THERE WAS NO ANSWER

" Answer me sita maiyya .....or I will not think twice to burn down this world .... No no ..... burn down Your world in return if you don't save her "

He screamed giving a warning to her.

" Bring her back to life and I will spare you "

" Just bring her back ...."

He said screaming louder and louder with each sentence while his throat was drying out in rage and agony.

He hugged her tight again knowing that it was the last thing to do before he sets the world on fire.

" Your sita maiyya left me with no choice imlie .... I will have to do this.... I'm sorry "

He lift her up in his arms, walked to the nearby camp fire and took a wooden piece which had the flame at it's other end......

" YOU LEAVE ME NO CHOICE AND I WILL NOT GIVE YOU ANY CHANCE....."

He said looking at the sky one last time.

He took the stick, went to a nearby tree and set it on fire........ He sat down leaning to the tree with imlie in his arms .... Very close to his heart wrapping her like a baby....

" I will not let her win imlie .... I will not let her win this time.... She takes you away and I will accompany you to the skies .... Not gonna leave you alone like that .... Not even in death ..... "

There was blazing fire which caught up the tree and other plants around, spreading like a tornado representing the agony of a man who challenged the god to get his loved one back to life.

On not getting an answer he didn't think a minute to set the world on fire ..... he didn't care what happens to him, to the place, to the world around ..... HE DIDN'T CARE !

A thunder ⚡ struck the night sky and there came a lightning response to aryan's anger.

There was a sudden downpour on the ground within minutes of fire spreading the forest and their place.

The droplets from the sky not only wet the surface of the ground but also put off the blazing fire that was damaging the forest.

Aryan was surprised that not even a fire spark have touched their bodies. He looked up to see heavy rain pouring down putting off the fire all around.

He was constantly looking at the sky as if asking sita maiyya for an explanation to this behaviour of hers......

That's when his chest felt a warmth, his collar, his opened shirt end was weighing down due to a force, his skin getting in hot breaths in a rhythmic fashion......

Aryan froze.

Aryan froze when he heard ..... That only word he wished for, to hear, minutes ago.

" ABP "

" ABP "

He looked down to see a pair of dark orbs in between a pair of eyelids, which were trying to wriggle out the constant rain drops falling on them. Those dark orbs, which held his life in them, were now looking at him with sharp gaze.

" Jungli "

She nodded.

Aryan's tears rolled down to directly fall onto her cheeks, on receiving which she gave him a faint smile.

There was nothing in this world that could make aryan bring back to life, expect for her smile. She smiled and so did he breathe

The happiness knew no bounds as he got his life back into his body.

He kissed her on forehead for the longest period of time and she smiled receiving the warmth of his lips on her skin.

It was pure bliss !

A obstinate lover has challenged to change the fate only to be in his favour !

Aryan singh rathore had yet again cracked a deal with imlie's sita maiyya forcing her to obey to his mad love for her child.

His shiddat for her made the fate kneel down infront of him, defeated !

A promise, sita maiyya made to imlie that she will let her live in the moment of happiness was kept.

She tested aryan's shiddat for imlie and in return received a warning from him

May be sita maiyya chuckled how he was trying to make a deal with her to get imlie back to life.....

May be she pushed him to a limit to test his love for Imlie.....

May be she wanted to witness how safe her child will be with him.....

May be she wanted to know how far he can go to protect her....

May be she wanted to know how long he will be with her in life.....

And lo ! Aryan proved it to her..... With a fire

May be that's how sita maiyya was impressed with his shiddat for her child....

May be that's why she poured her blessings in the form of rain to give him back his life...

A gift for life.... Most precious gift.... IMLIE

A promise was thus kept !

The end

With love,
