From cameras to your heart

Chapter 35

"maa I want to go back", there she dropped the bomb, these two weeks have been extremely difficult, physically and mentally.

Her head seemed to be all over the place and she knew she needed space from all this, her heart was not at peace.

She saw as her mother in law looked up from the piles of clothes and stopped folding the kurta, keeping it on the bed.

"Come here" extending her arm forwards she asked her to come forward, making her sit beside her on the bed while her hands grasped her's gently.

"Inaya, I know whatever happened is very difficult for you. Aditya has made mistakes and I can't be more apologetic for it.......mujhe pta hai beta that you need time. Mai aapko nahi roku gi. So take your time and do what you think is right. But just remember marriages are not to be broken so easily. My prayers are for you both, please just try to work things out."

(I know you need time and I will not stop you from leaving.)

Inaya looked down feeling her eyes burning with tears, while her legs rapidly shook. She opened her mouth to let out her thoughts as her voice cracked.

"Mumma......I'm sorry. I tried, I really did....but it's tough. I've thought about this since the last two weeks and then I've taken this decision."

She took a deep breath before continuing,
"Maa I love him.....I..I really do. I just don't know how to look forward from what happened. Aditya....he still doesn't understand, I'm tired. I really want to mend things between us but I can't right now. My emotions don't allow me to even look at him....maa it's so difficult....I feel suffocated ..... I....I need time. Mujhe laga tha once we have the baby, everything will eventually fall into place but now...."a sob escaped her mouth as she wiped her cheeks" it's all gone. My baby is gone....mom I can't feel my baby anymore and it kills me, I can't bear the pain anymore.....I don't want to blame anything on aadi...I love him mom but I really need to be away from him."

Her mother in law instantly pulled her to her chest as inaya felt emotions clouding her mind, her eyes got heavy with heavy tears once again as she tried to stand strong with her decision.

"Mai samajhti hu beta...aapko Jo sahi lagta hai vo karo, I'll always support you."

(I understand inaya, I'll support you in whatever you think is right.)

She wiped away her tears and pulled away trying to pass a small smile. Looking out side she saw the sun shining after days of continuous rainfall, maybe this was the time for her to come out of the shell she had created around her since the past weeks.

"I'll talk to him, I want to leave in the evening" hugging her mother in law for the last time she stood up and walked out of the room.

Sumitra aunty smiled while her heart constrained in pain as she looked at inaya's figure moving out of the room.

Half and hour later inaya finally zipped her bag as she finished packing when the door of their room opened and Aditya entered.

His expression changed as he looked at the packed suitcase on the bed with inaya packing her carry bag.

"Inaya" she looked back instantly and a look of relief passed through her face.

"Come sit, I was waiting for you" he frowned before walking in front of her, towering her small figure. He felt her nonchalant behaviour towards him and felt apprehended for some reason.

"Are we going somewhere?" His voice had a hint of anger as he observed her face with an unsettling feeling resting in his chest.

Inaya took a deep breath before before looking back at her bag.
