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 his ears. This wall clock was uniquely designed according to his tastes, 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 full of lights. Completely contrary to his inside, which was filled with darkness due to 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 dinner, he pulled out his only resort. He sat down on his work 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 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 practicing 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 that 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, it's been almost a month. For a month, I have not seen your face. A month in which I did not hear your honey-like voice or your soothing laugh. It's like my world has turned grey. 

Just tell me, why did you leave? 

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

'My prince, it is very important for our future wedding. Because every Ichadhari Naga/Nagin who wants to marry a human has to go through this ritual. In this ritual, the willing Naga has to stay in solitude. They cannot contact anyone in the outside world. All we have to do is devote ourselves to serving Mahadev 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 Nagaraja for any solution, I will 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 fulfil 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 the Vasuki Clan appeared outside. This crest contained a large black snake with golden patterns, coiled around a crescent moon. The snake's hood was out, and its sea-green serpent eyes were glittering.

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 by this blood identification method of the Naga 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."
