The Deception

It was a cold night as people were busy in their household chores, Karan was behind his passion. Karan an IT employee with photography his passion. It was a silent night, with only one roadside shop offering the hot corns. The roadside kids were playing around. Karan was attracted to the kids, and he started interacting with them to make them comfortable. He got them hot corn, and then took some shots of them from various angles. Then he left the place.

It started to rain, and there was thunder and lightning. Karan took shelter, under the bus stop. The kids went maniac, as they enjoyed the climate and started jumping on the water, by splashing the water against each other.

All of a sudden a girl got down, from an old Mercedes Benz; she jumped and played along with the other kids. Karan was able to take some shots of her; she had curly hairs, pink lips, and green eyes. She was indeed an angel, without the wings. As he tried to approach her, she left the place.

It was love, at first sight. Karan could capture her in pieces, with her face conquered in the heart.

Luckily, he did capture the number plate of the car as well. With great difficulty, he found her house and met her parents.

Karan rang the bell The maid opened the door he said that he took the photograph of the mam two days back.

Karan: Mam has dropped her bag, while she was at MG road enjoying the rain.

The maid was sweating heavily in fear she called Kabir, Sir.

Kabir: "whom do you want to meet, gentlemen?"

Karan: "I met your daughter two days back, she dropped her bag while playing with the kids"

Kabir: "sorry, my daughter Samira?"

Karan: "Yes sir, she came in the black Benz TSF 54."

Kabir: "I am sorry to say, son, Samira is no more. She left us two years back, in a car accident and we don’t use that car anymore."

Karan: "but sir, two days back I saw her."

Kabir: "please Karan, don’t make me emotional and he showed him the newspaper dated two years back, with complete coverage on the accident with her photo."

Karan was restless, the entire day trying to sleep.

A voice spoke

"Karan, I always loved you. Couldn’t tell my feelings to you, as I was afraid of rejection. Now I am clear about how you feel about me.

Days belong to you, though I watch you. The night belongs to me, as I share life with you.

Adore me, my lord! Nothing can separate us, even death."

Karan jumped from his bed and ran. The chase was on. He sought help from religion, but nothing could stop her. Her love for him was true. With so many complicated and fake relations around him, He started to feel her love and presence.

Love is deceptive when it comes to impressing with beauty and accessories, but not with soul. The romantic night may have deceived him with love at first sight, but not while attaining his soulmate.

From that time onward, he stopped photographing in the night, as through lens it reveals her appearance; he started to look her through the soul. Both Lived happily by loving blindly through the soul.
