~ CHAPTER 1ST : THE SHADOWS OF GRIEF


The story begins from In the depths of the dark night, the waves of the sea were rising, as if they wanted to say something in their embrace. The moon's light was descending into the waves, but even in its light, there was strange darkness. At that time, a boy was standing in front of the waves, as if he wanted to let them come over him.
His face was expressionless and his eyes seemed to be searching for someone..
That man was none other than Aman Rathore... He was searching for someone, his solace, his life, his everything that has gone away from him forever.. His wife Roshni, who died a year ago, lost her at the same place..

AMAN - KAHA HAI AAP.. ROSHNI.. ?? KYU DUR HOGYI MUJHSE? AAPKE BINA BOHT AKELA HOGYA HO.. BOHT YAAD AATI HAI AAPKI..
PLEASE WAPIS AAJAU NAA.. NHI REH SAKTA AAPKE BINA, MUHJE AAPKI ZARURT HAI, AAPKE AMAN KO AAPKI ZARURT HAI, ROSHNI.. AAPKO KABHI MUHJE DARD ME DEKHNA PASAND NHI THAA.. LEKIN AAJ ME DARD ME HO KYUKI AAPK MERE PAAS NHI HAI.. (AMAN'S HEART IS ACHING)

Everyone said that she was dead, but he never believed it, he kept himself in her memories and continued to try to find her, he waited for her..
A year had passed, but Aman's pain and longing were still the same. He came every night to search for his wife in the waves, where she had drowned.

AMAN - SAB KEHTE HAI ROSHNI.. KI AAP WAPIS KABHI NHI AAYEGI.. AAP AB... ISS.. ISS DUNIYA ME NHI HAI..
LEKIN MERA DIL ISS SACH KO ACCEPT KARNA NHI CHAHTA KI AAP HAMESHA KE LIYE MUHJSE DUR JAA CHUKI HAI.. MUHJE AKELA CHOD ISS DUNIYA SE JAA CHUKI HAI... KAISE MAIN MAANU SACH HAI YE.. AAP MERI JAAN THI, PEHCHAN THI.. SAB KUCH AAP THI, (with shattering voice)

His eyes were moist, and his tears were mixing with the sea. Aman's heart was aching, as if he was yearning for his life. He was trying to listen to his wife's sighs in the waves, but every night, he returned empty-handed. Yet, he came every night, to search for his wife. Every night, he was searching for his wife's in the waves.

AMAN - KAASH WAKT KO PICHHE KAR SAKTA.. KAASH ME TUMHE USE DIN BACHA SAKTA.. WO MERI HI GALTI THI JO AAPKO LEKAR YAHA AAYA THAA.. (he said with heavy heart )

He blames himself by remembering the day he lost her, since the day he lost her, when the police searched for his wife in the whole sea, but the force of the water was very much high that day, and wave spurt also high so they could not find her, and it had been many hours since she drowned, so the police assumed that she was dead...

AMAN - ROSHNI, AAPKA AUR MERA SATH ITANA CHOTA KYU THAA? KYU MAINE AAPKO PAA KAR BHI KHOO DIYA? KITNE SAPNE DEKHE THE.. AUR KITNI KASME KHAYI THI... (with breaking voice)

Aman's mind's stuck with the painful memories of the day he lost Roshni. He couldn't shake off his feeling of guilt and responsibility for her death. He remembered the chaos and desperation as the police searched for her in the turbulent sea, but the powerful waves and strong currents made it impossible to find her.
As the hours ticked by, hope began to dwindle, and the police assumed the worst, they declared her dead. Aman's world came crashing down around him. He felt like he was drowning in a sea of despair, unable to escape the crushing weight of his grief.
His eyes, once bright and full of life, had now become sunken and lifeless, hurt by the memories of that fateful day.
His face, now, wore a mask of pain and anguish. His heart, once full of love and joy, now he just felt like a heavy burden, weighed down by the loss of his beloved Roshni.
Aman's pain was a palpable thing, a living, breathing entity that wrapped itself around his soul, squeezing tight with every passing moment. He felt like he was losing himself in the depths of his grief, unable to find a way out of the darkness that had consumed him. His every waking moment was a reminder of what he had lost, and his every dream was a cruel taunt, a fleeting glimpse of what could never be again... And the echo of his pain and longing was resonating in the depths of the sea..

The whole night passes... And as usual, Aman goes home in the morning... His family is having breakfast, his parents have tension on their faces, they are worried for Aman, they see Aman coming home.

Amrita - AMAN...

Aman stops and turns to his mom. Amrita and Shlok come to him.

Amrita - MAIN YE NHI PUCHHUGI KI TUM KAHA SE AAYE AUR RAAT BHAR KAHA THE.. KYUKI MUHJE PATA HAI TUM KAHA THE..

Aman remains silent and is just waiting for his talk to end, and he leaves from here.

Shlok - AKHIR KAB TAK AISA CHALEGA... EK SAAL HOGYA HAI.. AMAN.. TUMHNE ZINDAGI JEENA HI CHHOD DIYA HAI.. (with tears)

Aman - (He said with grave face and sharp voice)
IF THERE IS SOMETHING IMPORTANT, THEN SAY IT QUICKLY, I HAVE TO GET IT OUT. (while maintaining avoiding to conversation)

Amrita comes to him and explains to him.

Amrita - ROSHNI AB ISS DUNIYA ME NHI HAI... WO MAR CHUKI HAI.. EK SAAL HOGYA HAI.. AKHIR KAB TAK AISA TUM AAPNI LIFE BARBAAD KARTE RHOGE..

Aman - MOM.. ROSHNI KE JAANE SE MERI LIFE ALREADY BARBAAD HOGYI HAI..

Shlok - ROSHNI KE JAANE KA AFSOS HAM SAB KO HAI LEKIN HAM AISE AAPNI ZINDAGI JEENA TOH NHI CHHOD SAKTE NAA.. TUMHARI AISI HAALAT DEKH HAME KITNA DARD HOTA HAI.. KAM SE KAM HAMARE LIYE TOH SOCH..

Aman doesn't say anything.

Amrita - AMAN TUHJE AAGE BADHNA HOGA.. MAIN TUHJE AISE NHI DEKH SAKTI.. (she said with teary eyes)

Aman - USKE BINA MAIN KAISE SAAS LE RHA HO YE SIRF MUHJE PATA HAI.. (with pain)

AMRITA - HAM SABNE FAISALA KIYA HAI TERI DUSRI SHAADI KA..

On hearing this, he loses his temper, and he is about to shout, but he hears a loud clapping from behind. He turned and sees roshni father standing at door...

Aman and the whole family are shocked to see him because they did not expect his arrival, after Roshni's death, he had gone from the broken and sheltered, he never came their home...

Roshni's father, Vivek Kapoor, steps forward, Aman and his family feel his anger of his each steps. There was hatred in his eyes for them...

Vivek stands in front of Aman and his family, his clap stops but an angered and pained smile comes on his face.

VIVEK - MUHJE AAP SAB SE YE UMMID NHI THI..

SHLOK - NHI AISI BAAT NHI HAI.. AAP GALT SAMHJA RHE HAI.. HAM TOH BAS..

VIVEK - BAS KYA ?? MR. SHLOK RATHORE, AAP AMAN KI DUSRI SHAADI KARNA CHAHTE? MERI BETI KI MOUT KO AAP SABNE ITANI JALDI BHULA BI DIYA? (Asked with anger)

Aman goes to say something to clear Vivek's misunderstanding.

AMAN - AISI koi BAAT NHI...

Before Aman could complete his line, Vivek's anger came to the seventh sky with Aman speaking in mid, and he put a hard slap on Aman's cheek.

The echo of the slap made the whole house silent, and there comes a sense of shock and fear on everyone's face.

Aman felt the impact of the slap on his cheek, but he did not react. He just looked at his father-in-law, his eyes were filled with the pain of his daughter's death, and anger for Aman.

The family felt shocked and scared to see this,

Aman's face was still expressionless, but there was a deep pain hidden in his eyes too. He wiped off the slap mark on the cheek with his hand, and looked at his father-in-law again.
