FORBIDDEN LOVE SERIES (Second Story)

The most beautiful smile I ever saw was in that dingy busy lane with hordes of people walking by. There she stood by the shop peeping within the window. She tossed her head and her eyes settles on me. She bowed slightly looking at me and gave the same magical graceful smile. I was awestruck. The whole lane froze over for me. Nothing moved except her dissatisfied face and slow walk. I stood there transfixed until she disappeared in the crowd. It was then that the world started moving again and I jumped out of the chariot and ran towards her direction seeking for her. But she was gone, nowhere to be found. My face fell. I was getting late. I had to attend the meeting with the clans.

                All on the way I kept wondering about her. She might have been dissatisfied looking at my flat expression. She wouldn't have guessed I was lost in her.

                I entered the castle for the conference. Indeed royal it was in this princely state! With that image in my head I entered the banquet hall and was flabbergasted to find the sheer disrespect casted upon women.

                There she was! The girl who had frozen me with her smile...standing naked! What a heinous act! I walked towards her slowly. She looked at me helplessly with tears streaming across her face and cried out, “Paris, Save me!”

                And, that started the legendary infamous Trojan war between Greece and Sparta! She was Helen of Troy!

She had found him this time too. Sitting on the bed, she looked up at him tearfully with helplessness and pleads in her eyes. They both were tired of running now. He smiled at her with pain and hatred for his actions reflected in his eyes. His time was up and he had to do this or bear heavy consequences.

“Forgive me,” was all what he said and collapsed on the floor. Pain ripping apart his body, he screamed a heavenly shrill. His backbone gave way and out came an enormous black wing unfurling itself. He stood there with radiating skin and a robe flowing through his body.
