They say, everything happens for a reason. It starts with a meeting, you meet someone and realise that you want to meet that person once more, you won't even realise when you fall for someone.

You start imagining that person in your life, in your every daily chore. Falling in love is the best feeling in the world, it can't be expressed in words but can be felt. Those two hearts could feel the clonesness growing, it feels good, it feels surreal. Your soul start craving peace in this chaotic life.

Love is like a roller coaster, it's terrifying but you enjoy every second of it. The ones who have one-in-a-lifetime love are the ones who cross every limit for each other. Making the gods bow down, they again find each other. Maybe not in this life,

But maybe in the other one ♥

~♥~

R: excuse me Mr, I think this is yours.

He turned around and his breath hitched for a second. Her long hair blowing in the air, hazel Orphic orbs, red chubby cheeks and an innocent smile on her lips. Wearing white Kurta with oxidised jewellery, she looked like an angel who just ascended on the earth.

Her honeycomb orbs met his red, puffy eyes. Anyone could say that he was crying, his face had dried tear strains.

( banjaara song from movie ek villain)

Jise zindagi dhoond rahi h
Kya Ye wo makam Mera h
Yaha chain se bas Ruk jau
Kyu dil Ye mujhe kehta h

R: hey are you OK?

There was concern and care in those eyes. He was left baffled for a second, how could she care for anyone who she didn't even knew! Maybe she was different.

V: umm nothing miss, it's just. Nothing.

He shook his head and wiped the tears which were near his chin. She rubmagged through her side bag and offered him a hankerchif. He took it hesitantly and wiped those unleashed layer of tears forming in his eyes.

R: oh and this ring! I guess it's yours.

She gave the ring she had just picked up from the ground. He took it with a pained smile and caressed it softly.

V: thanks miss. This is quite special to me.

He whispered and smiled sarcastically.

R: don't waste your tears for someone who doesn't deserves it. They are precious. Shed it for the right one.

She said and he looked at her shocked.

R: I am a psychologist, I exactly can't read minds but I can understand emotions very well and I feel you right now.

She smiled and that smile seemed like a mystry to him, she left from there. Maybe she hides all her problem behind that cute innocent smile of hers, maybe behind that smile there is a world of pain and hurt!

Jazbaat Naye se mile h
Jaane kya asar Ye Hua h

Even if she met him for few seconds, she just captivated his heart and mind. He couldn't help but notice how beautiful yet soulful she was!

Ek aas mili Phir mujhko jo qubool kisi ne kiya h

It was like his soul whispered it to the stars about her becoming his universe and she did had warmness of effulgence! Maybe she's someone who is different or maybe she's someone who's different yet made for him.

He couldn't take the restlessness in his heart so he decided to search for her. He didn't understood why his heart was hurting when she walked away, she just seemed mysterious to his mind,  Elysian to his soul and Yúgen to his heart.

He couldn't understand why his heart tugged at the thought of her walking away, why did she stood different from crowd?

He ran out of the cafe and looked around for her but to his disappointment he couldn't locate her.

His attention then shifted to the hankey he was tugging tightly, a cute pink colour with a bunny made on top. Unknown to him, a small smile appeared on his lips.

Haa kisi shayar ki gazal jo de ruh ko sukoon ke pal

He looked around near the beach and saw a petite white figure sitting on the oval rocks soaking in the calmness of the wind. Her dark long hair blowing in the direction of wind, it seemed blissful.

V: excuse me miss!

He said in a loud voice which caught her attention, she turned back and was shocked to see the same person. He walked cautiously, carefully not to trip over the rocks.

R: what are you doing here?

She asked as soon as he reached to the stone she was sitting at. He took a seat beside her, trying to calm his ragged breath.

V: actually your hankey.

He returned her hankey back and she smiled mouthing a 'thank you '. They both sat in silence for few minutes until both of their hearts couldn't take it anymore.

V: umm if you don't mind can I know your name?

R: Ridhima.

V: vansh malhotra.

She smiled and he reciprocated, this all seemed so different, so surreal, like a dream. As if both are dreaming and just going with the flow.

V: she broke my heart.

He said after few minutes of silence and she looked at him with a mixed emotion of shock and confusion. Did he trust a stranger so much that he is ready to share his darkest secrets with her? 

Koi mujhko yuu Mila h
Jaise banjare ko ghar
Mai Mausam ki seher ya sard me dopahar
Koi mujhko yuu Mila h jaise banjare
ko Ghar

Well maybe because few relationships are not defined by time because they grow with moments we spend with the person, not time.

V: she said that it was just a mere infatuation and she started liking someone else. I was going to propose her today but seems like love is not written in my cards.

He chuckled sarcastically and she looked at him. Sometimes expressing out pain in words hurts more because subconsciously it brings back everything without letting us know.

We become so weak when love becomes our weakness, it breaks us. Our inner self, it's like your own soul is strangling you from inside.

R: What we expect never happens in life, because life is a balance of good and bad, I can't tell if she was good or bad but maybe she was bad who went away for your own good.

She whispered and looked at the crashing waves against the Rocky shores.

V: I don't know why I am saying all this to you, I am sorry! I didn't mean to. It's just, Ahh leave it.

He started murmuring to himself until she held his hands in hers, he looked at their joined hands and then at her face. It seemed so perfect, as if two lost pieces of puzzle found their right pieces. Her hands seemed so small in his big ones!

R: I can understand. I know I might be a stranger to you but sometimes, all you need are strangers in your life. To not judge you, not try to comfort you because we need to become emotionally strong not emotionally dependent on someone.

She looked into his eyes and those were the first time, she noticed how deep and expressive his eyes were. They held too many emotions at a time, impossible to read all at once.

V: but you seem different, there is a strange feeling as if my heart commands me to do so. I was more like an introvert but with you it seems all different.

R: maybe I am.

She whispered and looked at the moon and then at måganta. It looked so winsome and mesmerizing, the stars were kissing the crescent secretly.

Under the effulgence, both the hearts knew where this conversation had lead to. Both their souls whispered among themselves and then passed it to the stars whispering  'we are the one♡'.

♥

R: Vansh now open this blindfold, you're making me too much curious.

She whined and he signed. This lady and patience are like pole aparts, a smile appeared on his lips remembering the first time they met. It had been three months since that, they both were more than best friends who knew each other in and out.

And today he was going to propose her with a promise of cherishing her the whole life. He found his true soulmate in her, she's actually the other part of his soul and this is why he got attracted to her in the first place.

V: OK OK! I am opening it.

He finally opened the blindfold and she looked around, it was all dark anything was barely visible.

R: you haven't brought me here to murder me right?

She spoke in fake panic voice to which vansh rolled his eyes. He snapped his fingers and this whole place glowed up with warm and bright fairy lights. This place looked even more mesmerizing with the decoration, it was the cliff where they both frequently spent time together.

There were dazzling yellow lights hanging on the trees while there was small table set up for them. There were small fairytale lanterns kept on the ground along with yellow rose petals. She looked at it in complete aww of it.

She looked at him and saw some different emotions in his eyes, today seemed different. To her, to him and even the nature.

The moon struggled to shine through the thick clouds that have covered the sky, the clouds hang like tattered grey curtains, framing an inky indigo sky. It could rain any moment but those dark clouds resembled as if something bad is gonna happen. Both of them shrugged this thought away and focused on each other.

V: few months back I was sitting in a cafe crying because someone broke my heart but little I knew that this broken heart would love someone so immensely. There came my lady, looking like an angel in white. Gave me her hankey and in return took my heart away.

It seemed like my soul had already found its soulmate and when she walked away my soul cried inwardly but there I again found her sitting on a rock and that was when this immortal story started.

I fell for you ridhima, maybe at that very moment when you gave me your hankey and returned that ring.

He walked near her and stood in front of her, he bent down to reach her height and attached their foreheads together. Their breaths mingling along and she looked at him with uttermost love in her tear filled eyes.

V: run your fingers through my soul, for once, just once! Feel exactly what I feel, believe what I believe. And for once, just once try to understand, understand my feelings ridhima.

He whispered and she looked at him sniffling. She cupped his face with her tiny hands and he held her palms gently, planting a kiss on it. He had already got his answers but still he loosed his hold and walked few steps back.

He sat on his right knee and looked at his lady love who had happy tears in her eyes looking at her man who was just making her feel like a queen.

V: will you give me pleasure of being the luckiest man on this earth by becoming mine?

He asked and that was when thunder striked and rain started pouring down. Both didn't care, ridhima was just about to say something when a sound made them both froze at their places.

It was gunshot!

Suddenly few men came out from the bushes and started firing. Vansh held ridhima and started running, rain helped them as it confused those goons about their direction. It was pouring hard and their hearts were thumping.

Vansh hid behind a tree and held her in his arms trying to shield her from the world who was shivering and sobbing in his arms.

V: I am sorry ridhima, I dragged you into my messed life! I had no idea my business rivals wanted to kill me and now you're here trapped with me. I am sorry.

He said, murmuring thousands of apologies. His eyes teared up, they were constantly falling from his eyes getting immersed in rain.

She did say shed your tears for the person who deserves it, at that moment she didn't knew that she gonna become so special to him. He was crying, he knew this not gonna last long. It had to be over!

R: you didn't! You are not the reason, both our hearts knew that we are attracted! Dare if you say anything stupid now!

She growled and Vansh wrapped his arms protectively around her tiny waist. All he felt during that moment was peace and warmness that was engulfing them in the coldness of nature.

Both could feel the Sense belonging to each other, they wanted to stay in this position forever shielding each other from this cruel world.

V: even if the night is not forever, at least we are together. I know I am not alone.

He mumbled into crook of her neck.
Both their souls could feel the dead end, it seemed that there is no choice left but this.

R: my answer is yes! I love you vansh, I love you so much. I was, I am and in every birth I will be yours.

She whispered and two bullets were shot. With a heaving smile, heavy breaths, vansh kissed her on her lips for the very first and last time. She closed her eyes letting darkness engulf her. He closed his arms with a satisfaction of having his lady love in his arms.

In heavy rain, two bodies died but two souls were still in search of each other. This isn't the end!

Ishq ka shayad Yahi dastoor hai
Jab ek hone ki baari Aati h to Kismat unhe door kar deti h!
Takdir unhe juda karti h jo pyaar Karte h, par jo ishq Karte h unhe to khuda bhi alag nhi kar pate.
Bhale hi is janam mein ishq ko Apni manzil nhi mil payi par Ye Dono Phir se lautenge, Apne adhure ishq ki daastan to pura Karne.
( no one will throw chappal for this one, just came with flow)

~♥~

Ridhima woke up startled, panting and sweating heavily. Vansh woke up with a jerk and saw ridhima was in as same situation as he was in! Both took a minute to realise, it was VR mansion, both were in their rooms and it was just a dream.

R: did you again saw that dream?

She asked her husband who nodded.

V: did you too?

Ridhima nodded and with shaky palms she rubbed her face and again looked at him.

R: why are we both getting same dream since childhood! It was quite less before but it has increased so much after our marriage.

Vansh nodded.

V: it is so confusing, we are both seeing each other from so long that too us dying! But anyways now calm down. Stress isn't good for you, after all I want our princess to be all healthy!

He said to which ridhima rolled her eyes and smiled slightly. He and his antics! Both laid down on the bed again, ridhima crawled in his arms, keeping her head on his chest listening his heartbeat like lullaby.

R: Vansh could it happen that in last birth we were separated but here we are together this time.

She joked and he laughed.

V: maybe.

Ridhima snuggled into his arms and he kissed her forehead. That was when a perfect picture was captured by the stars, they finally found each other. The promise made in last life was fulfilled in this one.

Nothing else mattered, the feeling of getting back what they thought was lost is dousing their fiery souls.

Universe was against them but these two stubborn souls didn't let that decide their fate. They again took birth, met, lied, trapped, trusted, loved, betrayed but at last together again.

They had loved then lost each other but their love is something like "the love that remains forever " so they had to meet again! God himself had to bow down before these souls, they were mad for each other. They had to claim each other! That was their wish, their madness, their love, their obsession.

" I knew right away that she's the one for me. There were no reservations, no Second thoughts. In an instant, I saw her and my heart knew that she's my heartbeat. My soul had known her soul a lifetime ago"

Sausade ♡

~♥~

Phew finally done! Ah it became quite long, so this super creative idea was given by Heera_porsh.
Thank you so much for this idea, I am really sorry if it wasn't up to your expectations. I couldn't really picture last life and this life. Haha stupid me!

Now if you all didn't understood the story due to my stupid writing then in last birth they were separated and in this birth they are getting glimpses of last life in dream. So I guess it must be clear now!

And the title of this os 'saudade' means this. Got idea for using these kind of words from sanjayash Diduu.

Do tell me how's it and please take care of yourself as covid is increasing so take care and stay safe. Byeeee
