My Heart Yearns For His Love [CompleteD]

CHAPTER 8

Meera's whole body trembled with anxiety as she heard Prakash's every word as if she was nothing to him. She closed her eyes and let out a long sigh with a heavy heart. In order to control her trembling, she braced herself and took a deep breath to hold up her totally collapsed emotions. After embracing the whole pain within herself, Meera unsealed her reddened eyes and moved her eyes towards the staircase by hearing stepping sounds.

A weak smile slipped out from meera lips by  viewing prakash and kalpana figure who are ascending the stairs. Regardless of the brutal pain that rose in her heart again, Meera went to her room and started to pack keerthi belongings. Meera knew that Prakash would throw her out of the house today itself if she didn't pack Keerthi belongings and hand them over to Kalpana as he said. Therefore, she started packing all of the keerthi belongings, realizing that in the current situation, resisting any of the prakash commands will not bring her any good.

However, she wasn't able to control the feeling that was rising deep in her heart as if something was separating her daughter from her life. As she packs the keerthi belongings, unknowingly tears begin to flow out from her eyes continuously. The thought that maybe she would become an unwanted person in her daughter's life began to taunt her slowly.

Meera came out from her inner struggles and thoughts due to throat clearing sound. Meera turned around and looked at Kalpana who was standing near the door hesitantly. At the instant Meera gaze fell on her, Kalpana plastered a fake smile on her face and stood hesitantly at the same place. Meera also faked a smile in response and told her in a mild tone,

" Please come inside. Now, I am packing keerthi things only like prakash sir ordered. I will complete it in a while. After that, you can arrange it in the upstairs room."

Kalpana shook her head as okay in the way to reply meera and inquired her doubt to meera,

" May I know your name ?. By the way, who is Keerthi ?."

As soon as Kalpana asks who is Keerthi, Meera feels that she should shout out that she is my daughter but she controlled her emotions and replied in a plain tone,

" Keerthi is Prakash sir's daughter."

Kalpana nodded and went near to meera and asked her in a disappointing tone,

" Are you angry with me, thangachi ( younger sister) ?. Are you mad at me for thinking that I took away your job ?. I didn't know that you are already working here. I didn't do it intentionally. You look like my sister in my hometown. Seeing your worried face makes me feel sad that I am the cause of your sadness."

Meera smiled weakly by hearing kalpana innocent questions and replied her in a soft tone,

"No akka. I am not angry with you."

Kalpana turned her face away in fake anger and questioned her in a sad tone,

" You are lying. If you're not mad at me, why didn't you tell me your name yet ?."

On hearing Kalpana's complaint, Meera chuckled and replied to Kalpana who was showing her anger and affection towards her shortly after arriving, thinking of her as her own younger sister.

"My name is Meera, akka."

After their small conversation, Kalpana helps Meera to pack Keerthi's belongings. Countless times meera gently insists to kalpana that she doesn't need kalpana's help as she can pack keerthi belongings alone. However, Kalpana continues to help Meera in packing without listening to her words.

After they finished packing everything, they started to make arrangements to move it in the upstairs room together. At this time Kalpana asked Meera to take a rest. However, Meera helped Kalpana regardless of her words. Kalpana's affectionate words and caring and kindful behavior made Meera to forget all her sorrows a little bit unknowingly. After many years, only today Meera talked to someone casually regardless of her grief and pain. 

However, in a while, prakash, who came out of his room to go to his office after getting ready, spotted meera carrying a box upstairs with a smiling face while talking with kalpana.

Prakash who was living with the determination that meera should never be happy, couldn't tolerate meera happy state even a little. Therefore, he furiously calls out the kalpana name in a way to put a hindrance to Meera happiness as if she has bought a curse that she should not have any happiness in her life.

"KALPANA AKKA."

Kalpana, who was carrying a box to an upstairs room with Meera while having a conversation with her, paused her steps and looked at the fuming Prakash with a horror expression when he shouted her name. Realizing that she had done something wrong that's why prakash calling her this much angrily, Kalpana left the box she was carrying on the steps of stair and rushed towards prakash and asked him in a low tone,

" What happened, sir ?."

Without diverting his furious gaze from meera, prakash roared to kalpana, who ran to him after hearing his call,

" Have you forgotten what I told you a while ago ?."

By hearing prakash words, kalpana snapped her brows together in bewilderment and uttered with a stutter,

" That.. sir.. I didn't.. do anything.. wrong.. I was just doing the work which you told me to do. I don't understand what you are talking about. "

Prakash felt irritated while listening to kalpana words as if she didn't know what she did was wrong. In frustration, he sucked in a long breath as he massaged the back of his neck in order to control his frustration. After a moment of silence, prakash again asked kalpana in a calm tone as he pointed out his index finger towards meera,

"What is she doing here ?"

Meera too didn't understand anything when he called out the kalpana name furiously. Even though Meera wanted to know why Prakash was looking angry, still she kept quiet by understanding that she had no right in this house to question anyone. However, she didn't expect that she would be the cause of Prakash's anger now. When Prakash pointed out his finger towards her and questioned her, she understood that she was the reason for his anger this time too. Therefore, she stood silently in shock with a bowed head.
