Sharanya's Point of View

"You were married, Sharanya...for two years!"

As soon as she spoke up those words my world became still; I was sitting on the seat blinking my eyes. With a sudden jerk she started her engine again.

"Why are you using past tense?" I asked with a shaky voice, anticipating something bad.

"Beacuse Sharanya, your husband was dead, on the same day when you met with an accident." Her voice made me freezed.

"Let's talk in that park. We will get plainty space for privacy." I couldn't say anything in reply; just looking at her with blank eyes.

°***°

"Okay. So, here is the money. Thank you." Shivani's voice reached into my ears.

She was buying coffee from the children park's tea & coffee shop. I was sitting on a wooden bench opposite side of the small shop. Children with their parents were playing together at the kids' section, a bit far away from our place. Paying the bill, she had carried two tiny plastic cups in her both hands. I was looking at her with a poker face with no such emotion on it.

"Here we go." She sat next to me while letting me hold my cup.

Taking a sip from it she looked at me. I was holding the cup with both hands. However, I couldn't gulp anything from my throat. I was in trance. Confused and dumbfounded I was thinking about the whole matter.

"Two years ago, on a beautiful evening you got married with your late husband. It was arranged marriage. However, you fell in love with him eventually before the wedding." She started telling the past which I was looking for these months.

"You were an employee of his company for 4 months in total. Oneday as I had known that your father, Ram uncle got an proposal from him for marrying you. He accepted after doing some background checks on him." She stopped for awhile to throw the cup into the dustbin.

I was staring at my hands listening her talk. One by one my confusion was getting cleared. I was connecting the dots together.

That was why they never brought the topic of my marriage, neither any of my relatives told me anything.

"Your marriage was pulled off beautifully. Uncle was very happy to get a son-in-law like him. Rich, elegant, respectful towards others, mannered and highly educated, everything was in the check box. At least that's what we had thought." She let out a sigh.

On that moment I got a feeling. If I had lost my husband whom I was in love with then why I was getting mixed feelings. A feeling of both sadness and... relief?

"What do you mean?" I spoke up for the first time since our conversation in the car.

"Rather than checking his social status we should've looked into his mental health." Her words made me focused on her completely; she looked at me with pity in her eyes.
