Train Love

Chapter 11

With the stinging pain in my heart which I felt more than the pain in my cheeks because of the slap, I stood there frozen when the tear drops roll down from my mom's eyes.  The hurt in her eyes could kill me. I know I'm the reason behind her tears. But I dont know what to do to stop her crying.

" It's a shame that I gave birth to you "

Did I hear it right? No way she could tell those words. No.

"Ma" before my whimper could reach her ears she told those words to tear my heart

"Dont call me that

I dont even wanna hear your voice

You're not my daughter anymore"

"Maa please... dont say like that. What I did to hear these words?"

"Can't you see what you have done.

You make us ashamed.

I never saw your dad this broken. You're the reason he is sitting like this"
She pointed at her father who sat on the chair head hanging low.

"Ma"

"Dont call me like that"

I startled by her loud angry voice. I cried. Standing there I have no option other than crying as like always. But now my tears are seen by others.

I can see my father's hand slowly reaching my mom's. He shakes his head as "Don't". And my mom stopped her yelling the next second. He slowly tilts his head to meet my eyes.

"You should've told me before. You know I won't do something you hate. Then why you didnt tell us that... that you like someone."

My dump brain just got the point. So Ragu might be told them about my love.

Wow... Great...

I believed him

Even if he slapped me on that day I could bear that. But seeing my parents like this...

It's a heart wrenching scene to my eyes

I couldn't see him in eyes. So I let my eyes fall on the floor.

"I felt betrayed. It's a pain"

"Sorry pa... But please let me explain "

"Nothing gonna change what happened today. Just let us alone today. We can have our conversation tomorrow "

He stood up from his chair, slowly walking towards the entrance as my mom followed him without a word.

When he reached the door he turned to me

"Whatever you did can't change the fact that you're our daughter. Even if you kill us with your own hands still you will be our daughter"

With that he left the place, leaving me to cry out loud on the floor.

"Pooja! Pooja!"

Screaming my name, enters Iniya with unreadable expression in her face. Not want to get up from the bed I just raised my head to look at her.

"He came to meet you"

Who?

"Ragu"

When I heard that name, my mind went blank. I couldn't think anything other than my parent's tears. He is the reason for that. He hates me. Then why... Why he wants to meet me now? I thought to myself.
