FRIEND

Kaveri's POV

Seeing Krishna's hand on me Charan gave me a look and pushed Krishna's hand and said, "Don't you know that you can't barge into someone else's room without permission" To which Krishna's said, "This is my house. I don't need your permission to enter my own house."

Listening to him made me made very angry and I said, "For your kind information, this house belongs to me and you need my permission to enter my house and I don't want you in my house my dear soon to be ex husband."

Not expecting me to talk to Krishna in such manner, Charan looked surprised and laughed uncontrollably. Seeing him laugh made me laugh. But seeing both of us laugh, Krishna said, "I know. Why would you want me when you have this creep around you. This creep has his eyes on you from many years. Now he is trying to trap you after knowing about our divorce."

Charan looked offended by Krishna's accusations and said, "Do you think everyone are shameless like you? Do you think everyone cheats on their wife's like you?" Listening to Charan, Krishna caught hold of his collar and pushed him. I was scared for Charan and pushed Krishna aside and said, "Get out of my house."

He looked furious but left the house. After he went, Charan said, "I hate him." I smiled at his comment and said, "Mee too" and sat on the bed. He said, "What are your plans now? Finally you can get rid of your past." I gave him a bitter smile and said, "What more do I have in this life? I have no plans. Just waiting for my death."

Charan hit me on my head and said, "Shut up! You have a long life. You are just 30 now." To which I said, "How can I live when my children are not alive? No mother wants her children to die before her. But see my cursed life! I hate myself. I'm not born to live a happy life Cherry. I just want to die. You know my children died in my own arms. I saw their deaths. You know not one or two or three. I saw four deaths. My children didn't even have  peaceful deaths. They all suffered before dying in front of my own eyes. I didn't even know how to comfort them when they were crying. I don't know how my heart is even beating after seeing them die. I'm a terrible mother. How am I living without them. I'm a heartless monster. You know I deserve death."

Charan hugged me tightly and patted my head and then came my aunt and asked him about my health. He talked to her for a while and left. My aunt tried to talk to me but I didn't talk to her.

Few hours after Cherry left, his wife, Ritika came home. They both are couple goals. I love how Cherry respects her and her career. Seeing them, I feel very envious. I wish even I studied. I wish I was not married at 18. I always wanted to be a doctor. I wanted to be known as Dr. Kaveri. But now I'm just a dead body which is breathing.

Ritika is a wonderful girl who always smiles. She is always very happy. I don't know how could someone be so happy all the time. Maybe because she has everything in her life.

As soon as she came home, she hugged me and said, "I'm so happy akka! Did you really hit that cheater with a vase! I also heard about the divorce. I wanted to meet you as soon as possible but I was at my parents home. Do you know how many times I called you! You never answer the calls!"

She is such a chatter box. But I love her. She suddenly stopped talking as if thinking about something and then suddenly said, "You know! When I was studying a boy in our class had a breakup and you know what he did after the breakup?" She waited for me to answer but seeing me silent she continued, "He gave us a breakup party. You know he let us order whatever we wanted. I almost ate everything in the restaurant. That was the best treat of my life."

I didn't understand why she was saying all these so I didn't say anything and then she said, "I'm saying this because I want you to give me a party. This is bigger than a normal breakup. This is divorce. I want a divorce party now."

I laughed listening to her. Who would believe when I say this crazy girl is a 27 year old mother of two children. She is a drama queen. Seeing me laugh, she looked offended and said, "I'm not joking. I really want a party now. I also have a place in my mind." I know that this stubborn girl wouldn't leave me alone if I didn't do what she wanted. I got up from the bed and searched for something to wear but she stopped me and gave me a beautiful anarkali suit to wear.

After getting ready, we both went out to a restaurant of Ritika's choice. Ritika insisted me to eat everything that she was eating. After eating so much, my stomach started hurting but Ritika had other plans. After her insistence, we both went to a panipuri stall. She insisted that we should have a panipuri eating competition and I agreed. I was able to eat only 2 panipuris but she ate 10 panipuris and later she complained about stomach ache.

Later, we both went to a park to sit for a while. As I was silently sitting, Ritika said, "Akka! Tell me what are your plans now?" Seeing me not responding she said, "I can understand your pain akka! But please try to move on. Even your children wouldn't want to see you sad.  Once think from their perspective akka! Would they be happy seeing their mother stuck in the past. You know, whenever I'm sad, both my children always try to cheer me up. Even your children want to cheer you up. But you are not able to listen them. Just think from their perspective akka. Atleast for their happiness, you should move on and be happy."
