KATHIRUM PUTHIRUM
TRICHY
ANNAMALAI NAGAR
One of the posh residential areas of the town city .
THE RANGAN ' S _ PALACE
As the name indicated , a golden hue bathed majestic palace like bungalow stood high towering over all the other bungalows of that place .
The inmates of the huge bungalow , currently being ,
KathiRangan or popularly called as just Kathir , ( Ranghanathan being his grand dad' s name ,no one called him by that name )
The guy born with a golden spoon !
The Founder of Rangan Scans , which had multiple branches all over in Tamilnadu , and the MD of Kathir factories , Pvt Ltd Chennai .
Currently he was held at Trichy , under unawaoidable circumstances for 6 long months .
Well ,
That was a long story ,
Which he didn't want to recall again and again .
.
And now ,
It was around 10 am in the morning _
In his wide extended private plush bedroom ,
He was loathing in anger and anguish walking to and fro in furious steps confused and infuriated at his own self ,
Turning around he took a umpteenth look at the huge four poster bed .
Raggled sheets ...,
Disentangled robes of his ,
Crumpled covers of his very own being ,
His unclamped Fossils wrist watch that lay pathetically at one corner ,
Coupling itself with a broken piece of a gold bracelet ,
Dried threaded flowers clinging down the edge of hia sheet ,
And ,
Finally ,
The faint brownish yellow tinges that shown bright distinctly here and there , at one end of that otherwise clean , off white coloured satin spread of the bed ,
Damn !
Fuck !
He cursed himse openly ,
Stomping his feet to the carpet down !!!
F**k !
He said again in agony , because that's what had happened exactly .
In these 6 months of his so called married life to that girl , Mullainayagi , an inmate of this same old small town , it was the last he had expected to happen .
That so called Marriage was an accident according to him .
And ofcourse this girl too had accepted the indifferences between them both in status as well appearances ( in comparison to his dream girl )
They were just put up at Trichy for the time being .
His so called wife had very much accepted to part ways with him ,upon knowing his stand .
A huge miscommunication had led to that crap marriage according to him .
Upon knowing his stand for some other girl , she had accepted for divorce .
On completion of one year ,of their wedding they were to part mutually .
And it was another 6 months from now on ....
When everything was finalized and was going on smooth ,
This
This incident ...
It had happened !!
Last night !!
Gosh !!;
Kathir couldn't even get over the fact that he had slept with her , ie Mullai ,last night .
How the hell did it happen ?
And again ,
His greatest fear was ,
What will be her stand now ?
He wasn't affected emotionally to it now _ when he himself couldn't recall it properly ,what is there to think deep about it ?
He could very well brush it off ...
Maybe something like an one night stand .
But ,
What about her ?
A mediocre middle class girl ,who now had a hold firm to stick onto a golden duck husband like him ?
She had ofcoursed promised , her word about their divorce _
Tat was on the day of their wedding ,
But now ?
As he was in an unknown confusion ,there was a faint knock on the door ,
And she entered ,
Mullainayagi , shortly called as Mullai !!
She came in and spoke in soft decibel word by word , looking at the splayed stained sheets .
Mullai : I ...I am sorry for this . Enna ,yethunu athukulla thoondi thuruva virumbala .
Naan ....naan ....nethi night than intha room kullavae vanthen , ...athuvum .... athuvum ,Naana illa ....
Kathir : See ....but ,
She cut off ,
Mullai : Naan mudichudren . Itha vachu entha advantagum yeduthuka maaten .
Naan sonna vaakula erunthu maara maaten .
Inum 6 months kallichu ,Namma divorce kandippa nadakum .
Naan sign panna papers eh koduka than vanthen .
Without looking at him ,she kept the file on the table and left ,
Leaving Kathir in a Puthir !!!
