" Are you sure about this marriage" she asked with a cold face
" Yes , no matter what" he replied with a stern disposition
" You've decided to marry me despite knowing it's consequences, despite knowing his presence " she irqued
" Yes , that's beca...
The day break had been extremely peaceful as in fog settled in on the fields. The same does not go well with the family members. Every one had been up before sunrise to get started for the days preparations. To be more precise, most of the inner family members didn't even sleep a bit last night. The great day is tomorrow and the anxiety leading up to that is of the roof. Arrival of the ex husband of the bride, a heavy dose of doubts to the new groom, shady business of the whole institution has put everyone in the edge
Janaki had a sleepless night due to her last minute meeting with foreign clients, definitely not because her past had come again? She couldn't bring herself to the excitement of the marriage that had been there till yesterday. She had a lot of money, family members and doubts as well. One person walking into her life has always made a whirlwind out of nothing. The same goes for Jayasree as well. The information of her nephew death had deeply unsettled her. She couldn't bring herself to focus on anything else. She is clueless as to uncover the mysteries. She had always found her family members extremely conceited and secretive. The lack of time and affection towards their own children can be attributed to busy lifestyles. There was and still is a lot of questions right from the death of her mother and explanations that didn't sit well with her.
Jaysree's Pov
Today is the day of the wedding. My chechi is getting married to Jay Bava. I mean, it's great, I don't know why I am still not in the right mindset. My head is going in circles since meeting my ex bava, Ramachandra. Why on earth is he here to attend is ex wife's second marriage!? Why is Ranjeeth mama so obsessed with sending him away. I sit in front of the mirror in my room fiddling with these thoughts. I have a purple saree with matching blouse. Achan has gifted me a silver choker like necklace for this marriage. This is when my phone dinged. It is a message from one of my cousins Meera
Meera Hey, my flight just landed, will be there in an hour or so
Me Oh! Now u remember me huh!
Meera I'm so sorry man! U know how busy it gets in Dubai
Me Yea yea , I get it, now get your ass here
Meera Okie 🫢
Meera is one of my aunts daughter. She married a guy from another religion when she was just 18. Our family had almost disowned her. It was Janaki who took the initiative to re unite her with our family. I sigh and put my phone down. Everyone in this family seems to function in a way I don't understand. I got up and went outside to get some fresh air. It was quite hot for this time of the year. As I stared into void, a tap on my shoulder brought me back to reality. It was none other than one of my aunts, Sreepada, she was short and had a pleasant look on her face she asks me
' Have you gotten any message from her?' I ask who ' I mean her' she says kinda gingerly ' She has a name you know' I retort ' Fine, Meera Anwar, is she even gonna come for her sisters wedding? ' she asks I laughed and said " Of course she will come I just got the message that her flight just landed " " Yea, that's all I wanted to know " , she said and walked away. This aunt really feels that she should be punished for Falling in love. I then walk to Janaki's room. The door is closed, I knock and hear a muffled ' come in' from the other side I then slowly open the door only to find my lovely sister standing in the middle of the room staring at her marriage dress.
" Did you even take a bath" I ask her as made myself comfortable in the couch.
" No" She says nonchalantly, I sigh hearing her reply. Why did I anticipate this? " I'm just preparing myself for today, maybe then I can go take a bath happily " She breezed out and walked over to the small wooden table beside her bed, took the remote and switched on the air conditioning.
"Pretty hot today, isn't it? " She asked and i nodded at this statement. She then bends down to take something from the lower rack of that very table. I'm not able to see what that it is. I heard some clicking sounds . She then turned to me when I realized the horror, it was a gun!
" Are you out of your mind! " I scream. She then says in an eerily cold voice " Keep it low Jayu, we never know when can anything happen and I don't want a single soul to know about this, did I make myself clear? " She looked at me with pure terror in her eyes. I've never seen such an expression in her face, that drained the living soul inside me "Yes or no? " She asked again for which I just meekily nodded
" Good. You know that Meera's flight has landed in, they'll be here in a while " She asked in her usual tone. " Yeah" I said, she then smiled and came and sat next to me " Her husband is also accompanying her this time, this is first time Anwar bhai is coming to our place, so I want you to get along with him and make him comfortable in our place" She says as she patted my head. " I thought only achan had a gun, when did you learn that? " I finally managed to speak. Her face turned glum at that sentence. " Nikhil" She said. I suddenly felt sad. I should've known. He was killed and Jaanu still feels bad that she couldn't protect him. " One can never predict the future " She said and got up, walked to her wardrobe. She turned to me and said " I think I understood what lead to my son's death. I've punished Ramachandra more than enough, I feel like I should correct my mistakes" . She then takes a towel and goes to take a bath.
Third person The above said statements had shaken Jayu to the core. She did not expect such a change from her sister. Sure she wasn't close with her elder sister. But this proves to be on a level beyond her comprehension. The day had just started, and her mind is messed up already.
Devika Iyer , Jai's mother had donned a beautiful smile all day today . Her insided were burning from the fierce truth she had to endure a few hours ago. She had a mini breakdown in her shared room with her husband. After re applying the makeup, she comes down to the courtyard . She looks around, only to regret the decision to come here , start everything in the first place. Now it's too late to back off from the marriage.
A car is shown pulling up on the drive way. Two people got down from there. The man goes to collect their luggage, and the women leans inside the car once again, to unstrap a baby from their mini seat. She then looks up at the house, only to wipe a lonely tear from her eyes.

The warily walk towards the first few steps of house only to be stopped by the whining sound of the baby. The man said, " Maybe Ayra is not so comfy in coming here too" To which the lady just rolled her eyes and stepped inside.
She saw Devika and they exchanged their greetings. When Raghuram came outside. " Finally you remembered this house " He asked Haughtily. "I wouldn't have, if you'd accepted my husband in this family" She retorts. As if on cue the man introduces himself " Hello sir, Anwar here" " You haven't changed a bit Meera, once a disgrace always a disgrace. You are here only because of Janaki, don't forget that" Spat the Patriarch and walked off. " As if these people ever do change of sorts, they didn't find you fitting for any of their prestigious benefits, you aren't welcome here, my baby isn't welcome here, this is why I already told you that we give a seperate party for Jaanu and her fiance in Dubai, you always had a soft spot for this family even though they threw you away like trash " She rambled on and on as they went inside of the house.
