A Broken Love

Staring at the broken mirror, Nisha started reproaching herself by saying

'What a favourable fortune you have, I must say! So adorable that even death cannot carry you to the doors of the hell !'.

'It is good that you have understood' said her father, strutting up to her.

Nisha's father was said, to be from the highly privileged strata of the society. He was one of the most affluent people in his colony. Although economically and socially profound, orthodoxy was in his genes. It seems that orthodoxy reached its highest limits during his lifetime.

Nisha voiced "Yes, I have understood both about my fortune and the brutality of the person to whom I am born'.

'You should be aware that I am mentally strong enough to sacrifice my own people who will stand against the decisions which I pursue. Forgiving you for the last time for the way you have insulted your father. If one more attempt, either he or you will die

'It's a curse', she uttered, while tears rolled down her cheeks.

Nisha was the youngest daughter of her aristocratic family. Her father and her family were staunch renegades to the other classes of society. But the 22-year-old Nisha did not bound her, within the snobbish mentality of her family.

'O I was a bird', she verbalized, 'then no one could have chained me and I would have flown high up in the sky .

Nisha gandered every cussed corner of her room. The fragmented pieces of the glass of the chandelier, the burnt cinders of the letters given by Nisha's beloved, clearly, was itself, a corroboration of her father's barbarism.

She quickly scuttled away in front of the picture of her worshipped demiurge and cried, 'Why is it so, that even now, mankind is partisanshipped on the basis of caste?'.

'It's of no use', sighed her mother, while entering her room.

'It's an earnest plea to you to forget about the guy, whom you had loved once'.

'But I still love him", claimed Nisha, with bulged out eyes and a sensation of hatred.

'Shh! This should be kept within your soul only. Remember, honour killing is not new to our culture. One furthermore endeavour of yours can be the cause of one's death.

It was important for her to fall in love with a guy with a high profile. But she opened the floodgates of a new, resurgent romance.

'One last try is must', pondered Nisha.

Nisha gathered all the grit and tried to escape from the beautifully decorated house of hers, which hid the dark history of her family. But her attempt was futile and she was soon captured by the gatekeepers, after running some distance away from her abode.

When the news reached her father, he decided to end the life of the man, for whom, his daughter, according to him, ruined their reputation in front of society. But this time, he also decided to punish her daughter for transcending her limits.

He ordered one of the servants to bring him the most valuable gun from the collection and also ordered the servants to forcefully bring his daughter to where he goes.

Nisha was brought forcefully, along with her father, to the home of her beloved.

'Come out, you rascal and pay the price for ruining my daughter's life, shouted Nisha's father.

Hearing the sudden threat from someone, Nisha's beloved came out from his house and before he could understand anything, a disastrous sound thundered and the earth wobbled.

Nisha saw her beloved being slain by her father with the gun. She could not tolerate the scene and faint, but the time had already passed for her to save her beloved.

Nisha's father wanted to penalize her by showing the demise of her beloved. He ordered, to lock her, in her room, till she attempts to understand her mistake.

The next day, a corpse of a young girl was found in her room. The doctors unveiled the reason for her death as poisoning, but they knew very little about the torture which was done to forfeit her beloved from her.

Maybe she dreamt of a happy life in heaven when her life became devastating on Earth. Maybe, she wanted to hear a symphonic rhapsody in the heavens, and avoid the sad sirens on Earth.

MAYBE she wanted to recover the love in heaven, which was broken on Earth.
