“Promise me you’ll never leave me” exclaimed five year old Bodhi. Her chubby cheeks were puffed while her nose was running, her warm blood-shot eyes had already ceased crying. Some of her ‘friends’ had teased her for her past. Yes! She was born differently. Her birth was exactly was in seventh month, her kundli said it was very unkindly to human. All the misfortune was considered her fault, except for her loving parents. And of course her best friend Rahel. “I promise Bodhi, will stay with you always” he intwined their fingers.
This is the world of soulmates. Where everyone are destined to meet someone. And the soulmates have their own unique identification. They would get their own tattoo at the age of fifteen. Here in this world everything is different. People here are more humanly than the other original one. You might think it’s almost fake. Of course that will be our first thought cause we are not as godly as them let alone human.
Only at desperate times they have to take desperate measures.

“Why this always happens to me?” Bodhi was whining. It broke Rahel’s heart to watch the gut wrenching sobs. He was almost on the verge of tears too. He always adored the girl. She was his soulmate, at least he thought so. He would do anything to get his girl happily ever after. But that’s not the fate right? When you think you are in some kind of merry go round you realise you are in for f**king roller coaster. Life bites back, when you are too invested in your moments, forgetting about the reality.
Everyone on this world has got their tattoo like normal. And so Bodhi thought. Like normal, her own unique one would appear at the age of fifteen and hoped it was as same as Rahel’s. So that it would get much easier. The whole over enthusiasm got her so deep down, cause it never happened even at the age of seventeen. Of course her birth has to do something with this. She dreamed of going on with new adventures after finding about her mate, how stupid of her to think it would all be blissful.
“Everything will be alright! I will make sure” he hugged the brown-haired girl. She was slowly calming in his arms. She always thought he was her home, wherever he is she would be there. And suddenly something jolts up Rahel. His dim black anchor tattoo glows brighter than the moon. When soulmates meet, or have any contact their tattoo glows, and it would be illustrious as if there are hundreds diamonds sparkling at their first meet. The bright gloom in his right arm almost blinded them. This was his first intense moment with her and his tattoo seemed to found its mate. This clicked something in him. He shoot up quickly. Stratled by all this confusedly Bodhi followed him. He was jumping as if he was high on some tranquil nectar. “Are you alright?” She asked him worry clearly etching on her face. “Of course I am, you know—- what this means?” He pointed at his outstretched arm. She shook her head not understanding any of this. “You are my soulmate Bodhi!” He screeched. Oh God! He can wake up the sleeping dieties from his catastrophe. She was smiling like a fool in love but the reality hit her harder making her face rigid. Tears brimmed in her chestnut iris. “I have no such tattoo” she announced and fled the scene. He deeply frowned at his best friend. So what? He has found his mate despite the identity, it’s like finding your one true love with their flaws or whatsoever and accepting them however they are in our world.

The whisperings of the populace around the chief and his fellow ministers was no longer hushed. It was even more clamorous when Bodhi was brought into the episode. This was the day they would execute her. This was all the plan of cunning Minister Vadik. She had once fought him over a bribe, which is practically considered sin but none could face him with their guts, nonetheless a fearless Lass Bodhi. Oh boy! Everyone felt pity for her. This is what you get for standing up, in whichever world you are just pity. He however escaped the sentence, but didn’t forget the girl behind it. And once he found out about her situation he used for his advantage. There was never a single person without the tattoo and here stood Bodhi in all her glory without a single inked mark on her. Her parents were groaning in pain seeing their daughter get executed. Of course people of this world don’t do crime, but after insisting and passing more bills, having more rough arguments they had come to conclusion that this was the final result. There was not much of codes of conduct here considering, people her satiated and happy.
Executioners ask her last wish and she happily says she wants to see her Rahel. When he sees her being beheaded his soul darkens. Its soulmate is vanishing into thin air. Since people here are more sensitive all leave the ground except for her parents, Rahel, the executioners and the Chief and his ministers. Once she is beheaded her blood smearing on Rahel’s face who was hugging her before her execution stood there motionless. What happens next stunns everyone they watch Rahel collapsing on the ground. His face goes pale and cold, this means that his soul has gone with Bodhi’s.
The death of Rahel soon makes news, his parents demanding justice. He is not the one with without the ink mark was he? No he had but how did he die. Soon Chief and his council of Ministers make amendments and what not?! Confused by the whole situation. The wise Minister Yuvira states that the soulmate of Rahel was none other than Bodhi cause if your soulmate is having their last breath then it’s your last chance to say good bye too. Soon the dieties make their heavenly appearance at the court. This was the tragic event. So they wanted to mend some things. Upon seeing Rahel’s parents pleads they bestowed them. It was they would be born but in the other world meaning ours, and once they find their mates in each other they would return back.
Precap- Kunj and Twinkle are reincarnation of Rahel and Bodhi
