The Dark Before The Dawn

They say, it's the darkest before the dawn and the sun rises with new hope and endless possibilities. But what is true for the nature, does it apply to humans also? Is it possible for two people to witness the worst and fall apart to find their way back to each other? Or is it inevitable for them to get lost in the darkness and lose themselves?

Chapter - 01

Piya was looking at the broken Praan-Piyala lying in front of her. Everyone around her was talking and crying. As usual, Nishant and Saavi were going through their books while Vedashree was crying and cursing her fate. But nothing mattered to Piya, not anymore. She failed her little angel. The one person who became her reason to live was lying lifeless and the chances of her revival was getting slim with each passing moment while the Neel-Heem was turning into Laal-Heem. Despite possessing so much power, she couldn’t do anything about it. She just stood frozen, with a blank look on her face.

Ansh was crying but deep down he still had some hope that Piya might think of something like she always does. With great hope, he turned his gaze towards Piya. However, he wasn't prepared for what he had seen. Ever since Pari was struck by the Trikon-Dhatu-Teer, the light in Piya also went away. Still, she had faith. But the person who was standing behind him had no sign of a living soul. If someone had looked at Piya then, he would have mistaken her for a statue. Ansh hurriedly wiped his tears and went to her. He put his hand on Piya's shoulder and tried to assure her that they will bring Pari back.

Piya felt Ansh's hand over her shoulder but for the first time, his touch ignited fire of hatred inside her. Ansh was telling her something but all she could remember was Mohana's smirk and how she taunted her for not being able to save Pari before leaving. Ansh's crying face, his proximity, even his assurance made her want to puke. She kept mumbling “Stop it! Stop! Stop!” until she lost her cool completely and suddenly pushed Ansh away while screaming, “I said stop!!!”

Everyone got shocked at Piya's sudden outburst. “I just told you to stop Ansh! Can't you understand anything unless it is dosed with thousand metric tons of tears?” Piya was breathing heavily in her all-consuming anger. Ansh was shocked but controlled himself and forwarded towards Piya. “Piya! It’s not the time to lose hope. We know the original Praan-Piyala is still with Mohana. I am Daavansh, you are Daivik. Together we can beat Ekayan and save our Pari. Don’t let her words affect you. We have to hurry! Otherwise we might lose our Pari forever!” His voice chocked thinking about the worst scenario.

“Really! Together!” Piya had a sarcastic smile all over her face. Ansh was shocked seeing Piya’s behavior. He had never seen her like this. “When have we ever been together Ansh? Does unity really mean second guessing your partner while believing everyone else? Does love mean taking all the decisions by yourself and leave your partner to fend for herself? Or does fatherhood mean burdening your kids with your freaking responsibilities when you are so bloody weak to do what’s needed to be done?”

The allegations coming out of her mouth dumbfounded Ansh. He could never imagine that his Piya would say something like that. He looked at Vedashree with a confused and shattered look. Vedashree herself was shocked but came forward to pacify Piya. “Piya! I know you are in pain. But it’s not the right time to argue. We have to save our Pari. You are a mother Piya! You can’t let Mohana’s words affect you.” “Really! And what do you know about motherhood who never gave birth?”

The Rathods were aghast listening to Piya’s last sentence. Even Vedashree couldn’t believe what she had just heard. “What are you saying Piya? Ansh and Kajal are my kids.” Her voice chocked. “And what did you do for your kids maa? Searched the whole world for a freaking Daivik who could save your son from turning evil instead of telling him the truth and prepare him for his own battle?”

Ansh lost his cool and shouted at her, “Enough Piya!!! I won’t hear another word against my mother.” “Shut up Ansh Mohana Rathod and don’t you dare raise your voice in front of me!!!” Piya waved her hand and threw Ansh to a wall where plant roots tied him. “Admit it! You are, have always been Mohana’s son. You have always had it inside you. But this family, who think so high of their good deeds, did they ever teach you how to fight? Whenever we have faced problems, it has always been due to your and their stupidity. We could have postponed Pralay-Yudh. But your so called mother had more belief in a Daayan than my or my family’s effort. Your mother had lusted after power but you alleged my mother. When I couldn’t control my power, you threw me out and separated me from Adi. But when you needed help, you people didn’t show one ounce of shame or guilt before coming to my father for help. Your family unblushingly asked me to marry Dev because that would save your life. After all, if you had died, what would have happened to the great Vedashree maa who hadn’t become a mother for your sake? Whom would she objectify to satisfy her ego?” Ansh was at a loss. Even though he was angry, suddenly he realized how they had been taking advantage of Piya and her Daivik powers; without even realizing how it was affecting her.

“Gudiya! We can discuss all these later. Right now we need to find some way to revive Pari.” Nishant tried to calm Piya down. “Yeah right! Like you could actually do something to help.” Piya’s face was filled with disgust. Nishant couldn’t believe his ears. His Gudiya, who had never raised her voice in front of him was alleging him! Saavi tried to intervene, “What are you saying di? How can you misbehave with dad?” “Why won’t I? After bhaiya died, baba should have turned the world upside down and find Mohana. But what did he do? Threw maa and me out of his house and raised you to be a lunatic who always take rash decisions and complicate things. All my life I have searched for my mother alone while he was busy playing with his toys in his office. And you, who are you to advise me whose foolishness has deteriorated My Pari's condition?” Tears were dropping from Piya’s eyes but she didn’t even try to stop.

“Have you guys ever thought about me or how your stupid actions affect my kids? This family and specially Vedashree maa needs to keep Ansh alive so that they can prove they have taken good care of Mridul papa’s kids. Ansh needs to repay his mom for the GREAT sacrifice she did. My own father chooses Kalishaktis' words over mine because A Reevavanshi cannot be partial. But does anyone think of me or my kids? Ansh could bring Mohana back over and over again! But this time, he had to oppose her and Angad's relation from the beginning and now Mohana thinks we are lying and he killed Angad in cold blood. He could have come to me, we could have solved this problem together. But he had to sacrifice himself! He didn’t even think for once how it could affect Adi or Pari. I kept screaming that Pari is alive! But you people didn’t listen to me. You really think begging in front of Mohana will help us reviving Pari? Then you are nothing but idiots!!!”

Piya wiped off her tears and went in front of Ansh. “Pari is my daughter Ansh! Donating sperm doesn’t make one a father. I carried her in my womb, I brought her into this world and today for you, my daughter is dying. If a Daivik can save a Daavansh then she can end him too. I am Piya Divya and I have had enough. Pray that I can bring my Pari back. Because if something happens to her, I won’t spare anyone!”

Piya left the house with a stern look on her face while the Rathods and Sharmas were still processing the entire incident.
