The Sky of Hope

The wait was finally coming to an end for her.She had always dreamt of the beautiful dress she would wear,the flowers to choose for her wedding day,the few guests to invite.For Asha,she had only dreamt of being Loved, abandoned by her parents at the door step of the orphanage she was unaware of the warmth of love.

Her eyes had a lot of depth,her smile had the warmth of the Summer Sun,her voice was confident and hopeful.She was loved by everyone in the orphanage.She had been a ray of hope in their dark lives.Somehow her faith in the goodness of mankind remained intact even after suffering the pang of rejection by her own parents.

She had met Krish in a charity show.For her love was divine.Krish had a charm which couldn't be evaded.He felt drawn towards her instantly and being touched by the warmth of Love,Asha too responded to it.She had always dreamt of having someone who could hold her hand and never leave, understand her and shape her into the best version of herself.

Krish's world was different from hers.He had meetings and deadlines to meet,foreign trips to make frequently and assignments to complete.He was swept away by the innocence of Asha and thought that being so different from one another they were so perfect.

Their relationship had completed the journey of two years and finally Krish proposed marriage to Asha.For Asha it was the best thing to have happened.She had never thought of meeting a real Prince in her life.She cried a lot and thanked God.

That evening was very special for Asha,she was going to meet his parents and also go to his house for the first time.She wore the best dress and looked her best.Every minute seem to pass like a decade for her.She waited for Krish to take her.She kept seeing the time and practised in her mind the some imaginary conversations with his parents.

The phone rang and she jumped up with joy.Seeing Krish's number flashing on the screen her heart galloped like the horse.She was nervous as well as excited.She answered the call in excitement.Krish was on the line.Calm,composed and indifferently he said-"Asha our worlds are very different and my parents have already fixed up my engagement this week.There will be food,bring the children of your orphanage."
Asha's world collapsed and she couldn't realize who to blame-Krish, herself or destiny?
