Special Chapter 3

MEI WEI'S LETTER

Mei Wei looked around his large office. The light of the setting sun was illuminating through the large french windows of his office. He looked at the orange coloured sun and sighed, "one more day without you. I can't bear this anymore."

And then, the sound of the wall clock entered in his ears. This wall clock was uniquely designed for him like everything else in his office. He looked at it and found that it was already half an hour past the working hours.

However, he did not want to go back to his house. Because he would not find anyone there. The one who used to wait for him was not there….

All the employees have already left. ' Maybe to their families. They are lucky ' he thought. The office was completely quiet. That's why he could hear the ticking of the clock.

The silence was eating him. At last he got up, ready to leave. Because at least he might feel someone's memories in that house.

With this thought he left the office.

Once he entered the large doors he found the house was full of lights. Completely contrary to his inside which was filled with the darkness of missing Aman.

But all the lights could not fill the position of Aman. The house still felt cold to him. His aura was filled with gloominess.

After eating the dinner, he did his only resort. He sat down on his working table. He pulled out one of the drawers and took out a scroll. This scroll was not made with paper but a red silk cloth. The handles of it were engraved with pure gold. He also took out an inkpot and a beautiful quill.

He dipped the quill in the inkpot and started writing. In the beginning it was very difficult for him to write with a quill. But after many attempts and practising a lot, he could now write beautifully.

The golden ink on the red scroll reminded him of Aman and his snake form. His heart was filled with love as he wrote - 

❤️❤️

My love Aman,

          The first and most important thing I want to say is I MISS YOU. My dear, come back soon. This loneliness is killing me.

You know since the day you entered my life we have never been apart for more than a day or two….

But now, now it's almost a month. A month I have not seen your face. A month in which I did not hear your honey like voice nor your soothing laugh. It's like my world has turned grey. 

Just tell me why did you leave? 

Okay, okay I know what are you going to say,

'My prince, it is very important for our future wedding. Because every Ichadhari Nag/Nagin who wants to marry a human has to go through this ritual. In this ritual the willing Nag have to stay in solitude. They cannot contact anyone in the outside world. All we have to do is devote ourselves to serving ¹Mahadev for a month. So the lord will be impressed and bless our couple.'

But Aman why could I also not go? You cannot even answer my questions. If I have not asked Nagraj for any solution to talk with you. I might have already gone crazy. Now, don't laugh!

Just joking. My beloved, for your laugh I can even act as a joker in front of the whole world.

If you are wondering how everything is going, then I am telling you everything is the same as always but I am more lonely.

Note my loneliness in every sentence.

No, no my baby. Don't feel bad. I know it's not your fault. After all, it's an ancient ritual.

Also tomorrow is the great night of Mahadev. Our prayers will definitely be answered.

 I will pack my luggage and before the night, I will be there in your arms! 

Ahem! Ahem! Okay not in your arms but I will be with you. Tomorrow your penance and my longing will come to an end. I am absolutely sure that the fruit of it will be the sweetest….

Now it's getting late and I have to pack and prepare for everything. I will meet you tomorrow.

               With lots and lots and lots of love

                        Mei Wei ❤️❤️❤️

P. S. Don't be nervous. I know Mahadev will fulfill all of our wishes and will give us the boon of a very happy married life.

As he wrote the last sentence Mei Wei folded the scroll and tied it with a silver thread. The crest of Vasuki Clan appeared outside. This crest contained a snake coiled around a half moon. The snake's hood was out and its eyes were shining.

Mei Wei picked up the special dagger given to him by Aman. He slashed a small cut on his fingertip and let a drop of blood drop on the crest. As the drop touched the crest the snake's eyes shone and Mei Wei's blood disappeared. After that his cut healed itself.

Mei Wei still felt amazed with this blood identification method of the Nag Clans.

At last he went to the window of his room and whistled loudly. A fiery red thing suddenly appeared in the sky and in a blink of an eye a phoenix was flying around his room. Today, Pavk was not sitting. It meant it was in a hurry. Maybe it also wanted to prepare for tomorrow's function. Thus Mei Wei understood and said, "Pavk take this to Aman. And also tell him I love him very much."

Pavk hooted loudly. He clutched the scroll in its claw. It looked at Mei Wei for a moment and nodded. Then in a few seconds it was flying back again. Flying back to Mei Wei's beloved.

"I will see you soon my darling."
