A handsome man went towards Pratigya.Pratigya became happy
to see him.He cupped her face in his hands.Both of them shared a romantic
eyelock.
"Pratigya didi..wake up Pratigya.."Arushi
called Khushi who was in deep sleep.
Pratigya woke up from her sleep.
"Oh Arushi...why did you wake me up?I was dreaming..it was such a sweet
dream.I met my husband".
Arushi was shocked.
"Husband?But you are not married".
"I meant my future husband".
Arushi giggled.
"You are crazy.Anyways we all are getting prepared for Karvachaut".
"So you are fasting for Aman.Right?"Pratigya asked her with a naughty
smile.
Arushi blushed.
"I am also fasting",Pratigya said.
Arushi was shocked.
"For whom?"
"For my future husband",Pratigya smiled.
"Are you mad Pratigya?Who will break your fast?"
"Arushi..why did God introduce my future husband to me in today's dream
itself?That means he will come tonight to break my fast.I am sure that tonight
i will meet him and he will break my fast also".
Pratigya was confident.
"You are not in your senses.Even if you meet him tonight why would he
break your fast tonight?He may not be knowing you properly".
"Whatever you say I have
confidence".
"Nonsense".
Arushi was irritated.
Husbands and boyfriends of all the girls in their colony broke their fast at
night.
Pratigya's eyes searched for her man.But she was disappointed as no one came to
break her fast.But she was not willing to accept failure.
"I will go to the temple and pray to God to show him to me fast.Till then
i won't eat anything.He has to break my fast".
Pratigya was stubborn and adamant.
The next morning she went to the temple and prayed to God,
"God..if you had no plan to show my future husband to me why did you show
me that dream in the on karvachauth morning?Please show me to him and break my
fast".
She was very upset.Seeing nobody around she
walked backward to go back home.She felt sad as her dream guy did not approach
her at the temple also.While walking she became very weak as she had been
starving since morning.
"Oh God!What's happening to me?I can't walk.My head is aching like
hell".
She was losing her consciousness.She was about to fall down.A man held her hand
tightly
and prevented her from falling down.She was unconscious.
"My God!"
He carried her in his arms.
She rested her head on his chest.He looked at her face.
Then walked towards a corner.
He placed her down.He ran to the car and took the water bottle to sprinkle
water on her face to wake her up.Then he sprinkled water on her face.
Her lips moved.
"Water..."
He fed her water.
Slowly she opened her eyes.
"Are you ok?"
He asked her.
Slowly her vision became clear.
She was surprised as he was the man who appeared in her dream.
She smiled at him.
He also smiled at her.
"Actually you fainted.I got scared.I did'nt know what to do.I fed you
water.Are you not well?"He said.
"No..actually i was taking Karvachaut vrath".
"You are married?"He asked her.
"No",she replied.
"So you fasted for your boy friend?"He asked her.
"No.I don't have a boy friend",she replied.
"Then for whom did you fast?"He was confused.
"For my dream man".
Her reply made him laugh.
"So funny.That's why you could'nt break your fast.Your dream man did'nt
come yet.Right?"He made fun of her.
"My fast did'nt become a waste.Don't you remember what happened a few
moments back?You only broke my fast".
Pratigya's words made him serious.He became conscious of the situation.
Slowly she smiled,"You are my dream man..the same person whom i met in my
dream.God brought you to me to break my Karvachaut vrath".
He was just staring at her eyes.
His serious face made her upset.
"I am sorry.I spoiled your mood.My crazy thoughts drove you
crazy.Right?Forget it.Bye".
She moved from him.
She was about to fall again.He held her tightly.They were very close to each
other.
She could not face him.He looked at her seriously.
Slowly she looked at his face.Slowly he smiled.She was relieved.
She smiled back.
"You may be right.This is God's plan to make us meet each other",he
said.
They smiled at each other.
They got lost in each others eyes.
After a year...
All the ladies and
men of the area stood together to break their karvachauth fast.Krishna broke
Pratigya's fast.Pratigya made him have morsel as even he had taken fast.
"Krishna...do you
remember last year's karvachauth?"
"How can I forget
it?Last Karvachauth we met",
Krishna said.
Pratigya smiled.
"Last year we were
just strangers.Still you were destined to break my fast.This year we are a
husband and wife".
Krishna smiled
saying,
"And as a husband
I broke my wife's fast and as a wife you
broke my fast too".
She smiled.
Krishna said,
"This is your second Karvachauth as you had fasted last year
too.But this is my first Karvachauth as today for the first time I fasted".
They smiled at each other.
