"I must apologize for being late. Sorry, my fellow beautiful souls as a lazy person I am late in updating but from now onward I will be regular."

She smiled at the way her husband relishing the taste of her handmade food. Even the whole Yuga passed but his fondness for food cooked by her remains the same. Even it kept increasing with time just like their love.

It is now Yuga of their union, Kaalchakra is about to complete its circle soon and then again the infinite void. Everything will again merge in Shiv and Shakti but their love remains intact the same ever-growing in the void also. It will still be there when Kaalchakra will again start its wheel.

Her thoughts got interrupted by the voices of her beloved Gunas who were debating on something.

"What's the matter? Why are you all debating" she asked smiling at their childish plays? They started looking at each other hesitant to bring the topic in front of her.

She knew this is related to something either to her or the food she cooked. Otherwise, they won't hesitate.

"What if I made a mistake while cooking? What if the food is tasteless?" she thought worriedly.

"But why swami didn't mention it? Looking at him makes me feel like he is enjoying his food like any other day" she continued thinking eyeing her husband who is busy devouring the lunch unaware of the ongoing situation.

"Swami" she called slowly. His eyes shot up at the worried voice of his beloved Shakti. He looked confused at the prevailing silence and anxious face of his Gauri. It is something quite unnatural. His daily lunch hour spends between the bickering of his followers and the lovely laughter of his beloved.

"Why everyone went silent all of a sudden? Parvati what happened dear?"He uttered confused."Swami! Why didn't you spoke anything about it?"She asked in the same tone. This makes him more confused.

"What are you talking dear? I am not able to comprehend anything" he replied.

"Why didn't you mention the bad taste of food or mistakes I made today while cooking? But I am not able to recall my mistake though it is purely unintentional" She rambled feeling bad.

"What? Who said this nonsense to you" he asked bewildered to his wife.

His Annapurna is thinking something so uncommon. Plus who can find a mistake in her cooking?

"None said a word swami but the gunas were debating about something and they went silent when I interrupted them" she discloses the truth feeling sad.

"Are you sure the matter is the same Parvati? "He asked smiling fully sure that the matter may be anything but this.

"Your beloved is left. Poor girl must be feeling sad. You have to go with her" Sulabh continued mocking him once Subhra left."We need to talk" He repeated calmly.

"Oh really! But I don't think so. I have nothing to talk to you "Sulabh said walking away." Plus I don't want to have any conversation with you" he continued trying to leave immediately.

"Are you sure you have nothing to say? Well, I am afraid this is not the real truth." Shivang answered back making him stop in his tracks. You have a lot to say but you are keeping everything inside making yourself bitter. My dear friend you are forgetting the basic truth here" He continued looking at Sulabh's back fully aware of the impact of these words on him.

"What truth may I know?" Sulabh asked and chuckled humorless thinking about the turn their relationship has taken.

"That we are friends for 12 years now. I know you inside out." Shivang continued calmly.

"Were! You forgot we were friends not are and that too for 10 years not 12? Here you are missing the key element I lost my friend 2 years back" Sulabh spat bitterly. These words hurt Shivang more than the entire mocking of the past 2 years.

He kept looking at Sulabh till he disappeared from his eyesight. He decided to visit his favorite Gauri-Shiv temple. He goes there whenever he is low to find solace and seek his answers. Temple is closed since it is afternoon. He sat there in search of solace for his aching heart. But today even this silent afternoon is failing to provide him any comfort. He can't soothe himself Sulabh's words are haunting him.

He still wasn't able to believe whatever he heard. They were more than friends they were brothers. Even their younger brothers always keep complaining that they love each other more than they love them.

But what went wrong? Where did he fail? He is not able to find the answer to these questions. And the only person who has answers to all these is not going to unveil the reason. After every try, every step, every debate his mind came to a conclusion which his heart will never accept.

"He lost him and he can't do anything to change it"
