Curse of Surya Part 2

"Sva- ....."

The woman looked at Surya with guilt-filled eyes. When she saw the painful expression on Surya's face, her headaches, She felt like someone stabbed a knife in her heart and twisted it. 

Immense guilt like a tide hit her. She reverted her eyes in shame, But when her eyes landed on the "Sandhya" the guilt turned into extreme hate and anger.

She again moved to finish the job with raised hands but she halted her action. She looked ahead with jealousy and resentment.

Surya was heartbroken as he understood what was happening here. Then a woman in front of him was his wife and the one he thought was a "Sandhya" was her stand-in acting as his wife all this time.

They were playing him like a fool, He even unknowingly broke his marriage vows. This fact hurts him a lot.

He was hit by all kinds of emotions like rage, pain, grief, heartache etc. but he suddenly became numb to these emotions. 

He turns around and bends forward towards "Sandhya" intending to lift her from the ground. Although he knew she was not his wife, his heart still couldn't bear to let her suffer like this.

"Why didn't you heal your injuries? Stand up now, I want answers."

Surya said this to "Sandhya", His face was stone-cold, and His voice was void of any emotions. 

".....I-I can't."

"Sandhya" hesitates and takes a long time to speak. She was already guilt-ridden because of the curse she had given him, so she didn't want to hurt him again.

"Why?"

Surya became angry, He already held back a lot of his anger and now she even refused to answer him, So he directly used his divine sense to inspect her body to see the reason.

"This...Why didn't you say it before San- Chhaya?"

After inspecting he finds out that His overbearing divine power is rampaging throughout her body, constantly destroying her internal organs and getting repaired by her divine power in a cycle. If not for her inherent resistance, She long since passed out because of the pain.

Surya felt a pang of pain in his heart, even if she was just acting as his wife but he really treated and loved her as his wife. Now even if he knows the truth he can't throw that love away in the blink of an eye.

So he moved forward on Instinct and put his hand on her temple trying to take back that power out of her body but he realised that he can't control that power at all, as he was in a sealed state.

Seeing that he can't help her in his condition, He decided to first move her from here to a comfortable place. So he moved forward and lifted her from the ground in his arms as her knees were broken.

"Hiss~"

Chhaya (Shadow) took a deep breath in pain as Surya moved her to pick her up. Pain was really so much that she was just barely able to stop herself from losing her consciousness.

When a child in her arms heard her painful voice, His unusually wisdom-filled eyes looked straight at Surya in resentment and hate. He thought that Surya was the one who hurt his mother.

"Wait- Svami (Husband)."

Sandhya (Goddess of twilight) stopped him. She looked at Chhaya with hateful eyes but her heart softened when her eyes landed on the infant.
