TO THE WORLD OF BLOSSOMS (PART-III)

We all followed her. She took us to a bedroom which was completely dark. She slowly opened the curtains. We found karan lying on the bed. We all went near him. We were very much shocked on seeing him. His body was too much weak, he looked pale. He was thin as a stick, he even looked aged.

"What's this shesha?"

"This is the punishment for hurting you aaranya. He will suffer for five years and will die then"

On seeing that, kirthika's eyes were filled with tears. She went near him and touched his hands. He slowly opened his eyes and smiled at her.

"Kirthi...kirthika, I'm very much happy to see you here"

Karan tried hard to talk. He don't even had the energy to talk. Kirthika hold his hands and cried like a baby. He slowly wiped his tears.

"Don't cry sister. I already made you cry a lot. Please don't cry again for me. It hurts me a lot"

His words made her cry louder. She leaned towards him and hugged him.

"I don't want to see my brother at this state"

"I'm just getting my punishment for what I have did. So, don't worry"

His state made me sad. I turned back the time to make everyone happier. He suffered all his past life. Now again, he was getting punished for his evil deeds. How can one suffer twice for their evil deeds? I won't allow that.

"Where..where is aaranya?"

He called for me. I went near him to take a closer look. He smiled at me.

"Aaranya, I was happy to see you. Sorry for everything I did. I hurt you a lot. I was completely out my mind those days. I had a lot of loved ones around me but I failed to cherish it. I thought that I had no longer have any one to love me, but still I had my lovely shesha. She loved me to her heart. But, I'm not in a state to love her. Please take her with you. She must have a happy life. She shouldn't suffer with me"

I went near him and touched his forehead. I slowly closed my eyes. Everyone was shocked by my behaviour. I concentrated on my inner feelings, I tried to trigger the inner energy of duruv. I feel the flow of energy all over my body. My nose bleed again. I slowly went dizzy and lost my conscious.

When I opened my eyes, I found beasty and duruv standing near me.

"Aaranya, are you alright?"

Beasty touched my neck and my forehead and checked the temperature.

"I'm fine beasty, how's karan"

"You cured his curse, but your body is weak, you must rest aaranya" said duruv and he left the room.

"Aaranya, don't use your power often. It makes you weak"

"Beasty, kiss me"

"What?"
