On his first visit to the village itself, the bored doctor tried to explore the village with its adjoining parts of forest, river banks, temples and such.

"..." As Shivaay walked through the rough road leading to a darker part of the village, he thought about the decision taken by his mother.

Karthika only wished the best for her son and wanted him to settle down in consideration to his marriageable age.

Shivaay didn't know what he would tell his mother, whom he loved and respected so much. He knew her dilemma. With Sandhya being adamant for taking only care of her kid and Akash was well. He had his own set of problems with the ladies scurry away from his shadow.

Thinking about his jokester of a brother, Shivaay would always feel the smile run across his lips.

Thunder! Lightening!

He looked up the sky with the darkening clouds hovering fast over the clearing.

"...it might shower badly tonight...better jog back...before I am drenched..." thinking about not coming with an umbrella, Shivaay hurried back to his cottage.

He hated rains.

On the river bank

As Gauri walked by the river bank with the soft flowing water, she remembered her mother's words '...we are good here...' which didn't go too well with her.

She knew something was up. It was surely her brother and his tantrums. She didn't know why her mother was so scared of .

How she wished to have a proper talk with her worried mother.

She massaged her forehead with her piercing headache coming back. It was becoming frequent with the days.

She removed her heavy tukri (farmer's basket) with brushing her hair back. Her stressed eyes fell over the calm river and thought.

But...

As she glanced around for any intrusion in the dark part of the forest meeting the village, it was isolated. No one was around.

Her head was bursting with fire.

She didn't think much and removed her dupatta with her tied low ponytail and watched how the water was calling her to relax.

At reaching the sound of the river, Shivaay moved the tree branch to walk through the somewhat secure but broken bridge sort of contraption.

He was slowly striding it with glancing over the flowing river below which thankfully was not so deep to drown.

Pitter Patter!

The light showers of rains dropped on his cheeks with making him hurry back.

But as he reached the other end of the bridge, his roaming eyes saw the most wonderous sight in the quiet forest.

A maiden. Or a water nymph perhaps. His eyes were deceiving him now.

He moved closer to the bridge edge and tried to see her.

She was floating on the water with her eyes closed and mind free. Her body moved magically with the water flowing.

Her wavy hair were dancing so beautifully with the water and the rains?

They loved her. Her skin pierced through the water with her limbs siding them to give her way. They were like a second skin for her already shining self, which equally loved them.

He noticed a small smile threatened to fall on her lips but she regained her calm demure.

Who was she?

He could just gaze at her for hours but felt like a pervert and shifted his eyes away with a sole whisper "...Amore..."
