Platonic Love

PLATONIC LOVE

 

Ramesh and Shruti were childhood friends. Both of them loved being in the company of one another. In their innocent days, Ramesh had promised to marry Shruti once mature enough to get married. But, fate had its own plans for both of them.         

 

After around 5 years of an estranged marriage to his arranged life partner Sheetala, Ramesh, ultimately decided to end ties with his wife. Ramesh realized that he was suffering from this badly knitted marital bond because he had hurt Shruti by his decision of marrying Sheetala. And, from the empathetic feelings which arose in him, that very moment, he decided to remove himself from the situation that was causing the feelings of guilt within him. He guessed precisely what Shruti might have gone through all those years. Ramesh divorced Sheetala. Thereafter, he got the unfortunate news of Shruti's death. It shattered him into bits and pieces. Ramesh could hardly believe his ears when he heard the news of Shruti's untimely demise. In all possible ways, Ramesh accused himself of Shruti's death and cursed himself badly for bringing it upon her. The guilt never allowed Ramesh to be at ease, not even for a single moment. On one such day, Ramesh felt some presence in his room.      

 

Initially, when Ramesh had started to feel a little uneasy, and his senses had drawn him towards the experiences of something paranormal and fishy around, he wasn't able to guess the one disturbing him. But, gradually, past some days, he had estimated it to be Shruti. He felt this way because the paranormal activities were neither intended to hurt nor harm him in any possible manner. Ramesh wanted to confirm, whether his notion was right! And, for doing so, he certainly required a team of professional paranormal investigators.   

 

"Destiny had parted them in the past, so was it trying to reunite them at present?", thoughts like these continued to rise in Ramesh's mind while the paranormal investigators kept facing great difficulties in the process of deciphering the identity of the spirit in Ramesh's residence.

 

In his previous birth, Ramesh had failed to marry his beloved because he was rumoured to have died under mysterious circumstances on the very eve of his marriage. The to-be-wife of Ramesh in that life, on being informed about such an unfortunate and tragic demise of her fiancé, committed suicide by drinking poison. Since then, her soul has gotten entrapped within the dark circles of an unending time…. 

 

The one whom Ramesh had been actually sensing for over a month was none other than his beloved from his previous birth, seeking platonic love in that state in which she has been since time immemorial, and on locating Ramesh was with him.
