Absorbing Her Darkness

Chapter 33

Bhairavi's POV:

Ah! That skirt is damn heavy. I literally forgot how to wear them. How will I dance? And this ghunghat. Why is it mandatory to wear? Phew. I was already sweating.

I sighed and slowly walked to the ground.

The decorations were still in progress. I have not seen

nothing really because of this stupid veil. I picked up

and looked around. Everyone was looking at me.

Am I wearing something wrong? Why are they looking at me like that?

he looked away and met Ekansha's eyes which were

he looks at me the same way. He was at the top of the ladder with

lighting in his hands.

I smiled at him and he fell off the ladder. I do not

I know how I controlled my laughter. Can't he at least be careful?

"Oh my god. He absolutely loves you." one teased

of my friends while giggling.

"Let's go.", my friends pulled me out of there.

Folk songs played in the background. We

they formed a circle and prayed before beginning our prayer

dance. We twisted while moving in a circle.

As we were enjoying ourselves, I noticed Ekanshe in the corner

talk to someone on the phone. He hates dancing.

I'm going to make sure he starts liking it today.

I stepped out of the circle and walked over to him.

"Yeah. It's okay." he said into the phone.

I patted him on the shoulder.

He immediately turned around.

"Okay. I'll catch you later." hung up.

"Who were you talking to?"

"Uh. I'll tell you later. Why are you here? Go dance!" he shouted at me.

"Are you bored?" I asked.

He looked away.

"No. I'm not. It feels totally Sanjay Leela to me."

Bhansali's film sets. you are great at dancing

They should hire you for the next one.”

I smirked, "Come on. You can dance too."

"No, Bhairavi. I don't really like dancing. You."

keep going.” he said with folded hands and shook his

his head without looking at me.

What is wrong?!

"Why are you so serious today?" I asked.

“You must obey your queen,” I said, dragging

him in a circle.

I showed him some basic steps. My brothers too

he taught him and soon we were all dancing together.

They made Ekanshe wear a turban too.

He laughed and we danced in a circle and then inside

few. He was more lost than I was.

I continued to dance. I saw mom and dad. They stood and smiled. On my return they seemed very happy.

It's just that Geeth isn't here and it's really getting to be

harder for me. I hope he is ok.

After the break we continued dancing. It goes on

actually all night.

I couldn't see Ekanshe anymore. Where the hell is that?

he? I don't even have my phone with me. Was

here alone until we had dinner. now i'm worried

I was walking to the side when he grabbed me

from behind.

"Ekanshi! What is it? Where have you been until now?" I

he asked as he led me somewhere.

We entered the room.

He let go of my hand and showed me. It was my passport

chain. I looked at myself. My waist chain was missing.

"Did you find it?" I asked.

"Yes." he said raising an eyebrow at me.

“I know what you mean. I answered.

"Are you doing?" he asked in surprise.

"Okay. Make me wear it quickly. Pooja is coming."

on. And I'm leaving you because you danced with me

today."

"You are clever." he smiled and came closer to me.

He took the chain and threw his hands behind mine

back and pulled the chain forward. His fingers

wiped my waistline. I felt electric sparks

He noticed and my cheeks warmed. He knelt down and held the ends of the chain.

He took the hook in his mouth to tighten it.

His lips moved over my bare skin while his teeth

they were hooking up.

I swallowed and closed my eyes as he continued.

"It won't fall off during the dance this time," he said

he placed the chain correctly and stood up.

I opened my eyes and nodded.

He clasped his hands in mine and placed his lips

slightly above mine.

I don't know why I felt that he was sensitive and gentle when kissing, as if he was hiding some pain.

"Bhairavi.", he spelled my name against my lips.

I held his face, "What's bothering you Ekanshi?"

“I-. I have to get back to camp.

I just stared at him.

“I have to go back to Chandigarh tomorrow.

morning." he said and walked away from me.

"There's a new mission. And they need me as."

bomb investigator. It's a huge step for me. If I did

reach the goal, I will be promoted to professional

bomb investigator.” he said rubbing his face.

"Ekanshi. It's okay. Go do your thing."

goals."

“But if you want me to stay here with you, tell me

i won't go I will leave the camp and start a business. I'm ready for anything. I don't want you to be far from me."

"Hey. Hey. It's your dream and your passion. You have to go. I'm not stopping you. You're not sacrificing

anything. Your love and passion are with you

forever. Okay?” I replied with a small smile.

"Anyway, I need two to three months to complete my training. You can come back when it's time for me to be crowned." I added.

He caressed my cheek, "Are you sure? Can you handle it without me?"

I slapped his hand playfully, “Wasn't I before I met you?

Idiot. Do not worry. I'm afraid how you will take it

Take care of yourself."

He laughed.

I hugged him.

"I love you." I said and kissed him on the lips.

"I will never stop loving you." he said and pressed his lips together

with my.

After the pooja he packed his things and things.

He kept looking at me. I calmly nodded. He changed his clothes into a casual one.

He said goodbye to my family. Everyone was silent. He

he hugged dad and smiled at mom.

And finally he came to me. I squeezed his

hands.

"Take care of yourself." I said.

He nodded to hide his pain. He looked around and

he went to the gate.

I had tears in my eyes.

He turned and waved his hand towards us all

and quickly blew me a kiss from the fly. Door

he opened and left quietly.

Dad hugged me from the side. They all stood and watched in silence

in the dark starry sky.

He won everyone's hearts.
