Only for you

Chapter - 26 A peek into the past

Kavitha was in the kitchen, heating up milk for Mazhi and Rithvin. While the milk was boiling her thoughts went back to the party she attended. It was her first time attending such gatherings. As far as her knowledge she knew, her MIL will not allow her or her Co sisters to attend such parties/gatherings. She even felt embrassed to wear ankle length gown given by Chitra. Her heart won over her mind.
She chuckled remembering the way Viji and Rithvin fought over Mazhi.

Her daughter was adorned with a beautiful royal blue color frock which was given by Vijay. Her face flushed thinking of Vijay. How his hands secured her without letting her fall down. She didnot opened her eyes for good two minutes. When she anticipated her fall, all she got was a strong arm to hold and a firm chest to lean on. Her trance was broken by her daughter's voice. She opened her eyes to see a pitch black eyes staring back at her, piercing through her soul.

"Hey Kavitha are you okay", Vijay asked softly.

Though she wanted to back away from his embrace, her mind and body was struck with him feeling safe and secured. She had not felt this safe and secured even with Basker. The thought of Basker made her come back to earth. She moved away from Vijay with a jerk and a awkward silence surrounded them. Kavitha fidgeted with the tip of her saree. Vijay rubbed his neck to hide his embrassment.
She was embarrassed was an understatement.She wanted to run away and hide from Vijay. But do you think, she can do it?

She heard Vijay clearing his throat, to break the silence growing between them. She heard him say,

"Kavitha, go and get ready"

"Huh", she frowned not understanding his statement.

"Umm..actually there is party today. Mom said me to inform you but I forgot", Vijay finished. Looks like he gathered the courage and pushed back the new found emotions flowing through him.

"Ohh..but", Kavitha started but was interrupted by Viji.

"Hey Kavitha", Viji called her loud enough to startle Vijay and Kavitha.
And after that all that happened was in a blur for Kavitha. Viji brought her into her room, handed her a cover and asked her to get ready. She opened the cover to see a beautiful full length gown and accessories. She was even afraid to touch it as it was breath takingly beautiful. Viji came back and looked at a awestruck Kavitha.

"Ohh hoo, Kavitha I told you to get ready", Viji said.

"No Viji, I can't wear this dress. I will ruin the beauty of this dress", Kavitha said without taking her eyes of the dress.

"I will wear some saree", Kavitha continued. Viji facepalmed by Kavitha's statement.

"No you won't, Kavitha by all means you are beautiful and you will not ruin the dress's beauty but will increase its beauty", Viji said walking towards her and placed a comforting hand in her shoulder. This brought tears in Kavitha's eyes. Her mind went back to a horrible memory when her Motherinlaw refused to buy her a saree which Kavitha liked by saying that she will ruin the beauty of the saree. Eventhough Basker was with Kavitha, he did not said anything. Nobody had said her that she was beautiful. Basker had said her that she was beautiful only when they were intimate. Nobody had appreciated her for her efforts. From her tender age of 16, she accepted her fate and had done everything for her inlaws house, but they never ever had looked at her. She felt worst during her pregnancy. She cannot cook anything which she liked, she cannot take rest as she pleased. Basker was there, most of times he took care of her. Even he lied to his mom for Kavitha to take rest. But from 9 clock in the morning till 9 clock in the evening, he will not be in the house.

She has to cook lunch for her family, clean the dishes after dinner, have to water plant in the garden. She didnot took rest and that's the reason she went into a early labor. Her mind was clouded with the past blurring her vision with tears rolling down her cheek but a gentle tap on her shoulders brought back her to the present.
Her eyes widened after seeing the milk in the pot. She quickly turned off the stove and poured milk in two glasses.

"What I had done", Kavitha asked herself and turned to face the person, who tapped her shoulder.
