An Introvert's Love

30

Yura

Once we reached our destination we were welcomed by two huge giants, his uncles. Both of them looked so scary but their eyes showed nothing of that sense. It held affection. There were also some middle-aged people and many boys and girls.

Some looked like teenagers and some looked so grown up. Rana said his uncle's wives left them right? Then who are those standing near these two huge men?"They got back together I guess" Rana murmured into my ear. He is reading my mind or what? I am now afraid to even think something beside him. "Don't overthink" He said giving me a stern look. I nodded.

The two huge men were speaking with my aththai so emotionally, I don't know how they convinced her but aththai and those huge men had tears in their eyes.

Their eyes shifted to Rana and they looked so guilty. They apologized to Rana with teary eyes, no human could deny forgiving them because they looked genuinely apologetic. Rana stood still there, Aththai patted on Rana's shoulder encouraging him to forgive them. Throughout these situations, I felt someone's eyes on me.

But I kept on looking between Rana and those uncles. Rana gave in and those two Giant uncles hugged Rana lovingly. But it didn't go unnoticed how Rana went stiff in their hold.

Releasing Rana from the hug their eyes and many eyes landed on me, I felt so nervous until Rana held my hands. I relaxed slightly under his touch.

Everyone looked at me confused. "She is my wife, Yura" Rana disclosed, and the mumbling sounds began. His uncles looked quite surprised. I saw a girl running inside her house fastly. Hmm..actually what the fuck is happening here!?

"We didn't know that you got married, Rana. We were about to ask your hands in marriage with my daughter" The giant with a big mustache told. His eyes held disappointment. Oh, I won't give my Rana to anyone. He is mine. Only mine. Rana held my hand tighter. Yes! just like that. Cuddle me close and tighter.

The small mustache with a grey beard is the oldest I guess, he gave me a genuine smile but the big mustache just looked at me. He is angry because I took the place where he wanted his daughter.He is only my Rana. I mentally scowled at that big mustache man.

Later as we sat inside their house, grandma fed me up with their names and all. The older one is Raghavan, the one with a small mustache with a grey beard, his wife's name is Sempavalam.

The younger one is Ravanan, with a big mustache, his spouse's name is Sundari. Raghavan has three sons. Hari, Vikranth, and Ram. Ravanan has two girls and two boys. Nazhini, Raagini, and Raghu and Rahul. Raagini is the girl who had liked my Rana for years. See I remembered all of their names. Hehe.

Rana went with some men and boys. While I here sat near Grandma not allowing her to move away from me. The girls in here don't like me I guess. They gave me dreadful looks. God.

Tolerating their stupid behavior was so hard. After some time Grandma took me to have dinner. They had prepared a simple tent-like structure to allocate food. Everyone who came in to have food placed themselves in a chair.

The sounds of their speaking made me feel distinct. Opposite to our row sat many guys laughing. Were they laughing at me? I gazed down on my banana leaf where the foods gonna served. It was night but the tube lights hung up made it fascinating.

I heard them talking stupidly and I just want to close my ears. My eyes searched for Rana. He is the only one who made me feel safe. I need him right now. I really do.

I saw his back and something in me relaxed seeing him quite close to me. He was conversing on his phone. I quietly ate my food thinking about Rana. I heard the guys on the opposite row chuckle and click on a picture.

I suddenly looked up and the phone was disturbingly close to my face, still had some distance and then the guy who held the phone took a pic.?he took a picture of me? why? I looked at grandma who was engrossed in having her food and I felt like almost tearing up.

I heard them commenting on me, it was so uncomfortable. I don't want to be here. I want to cry. They kept on speaking and snickering taking pictures again and again as I bowed my head so down to the food to escape from the pics.

I looked up and saw Rana turned in my direction but checking on his phone. I stared at him without blinking, please look at me. Rana, please. I want to be in your arms. Rana look at me, god please make him notice me. I just want to scream his name so badly now.

Few more seconds and his eyes caught mine, the relief that washed over me at that moment was indefinable. He smiled at me with his eyes full of love.

I smiled back at him desperately wanting him near me. I pointed to the boys on the opposite row through my eyes and he gave me a confused look. Momentarily his eyes fell over the boys I pointed to, he came towards the guys with a tough face and smacked on each of their heads hard.

I heard them hiss in pain and scrunch up their face. Rana yanked their phone from them and I saw him fume with anger looking at the phone screen.

He checked something on the phone, his eyes held rage as he looked at the boys again. Then he spoke to the boys, I couldn't hear what he was talking about because he was standing behind those boys and muttering words to them. I couldn't help but contemplate how manly he is. His angry features were so appealing to my eyes. Ahh, butterfly!

Rana gave me a promising smile as he left those boys. He stood watching me as I ate. The boys were so silent now and it made me feel at ease. I left my row with grandma. My eyes went towards Rana as he looked at me with an unusual feeling swirling across it.

Possessiveness.
