MILF

Knowing Each Other

How can you be so careless, Ritu? How can a woman forget to add salt to lentils?

... Sorry Rajesh.

What sorry? How can you repeat the same mistake every time? I am fed up with you.

Sorry, I'll never do it again.

...

I am really sorry Rajesh. Please don't get upset with me darling.

Stay away from me.

...

Rajesh leaves...

Rajesh left Ritu crying...

Why doesn't Rajesh love me? What have I done? What is my fault? I have given him my everything. My body, my prime years, my devotion, I have given him everything. I love him but he is always so rude towards me. It's like he doesn't care about me.

Yatharth's POV...

Why are the neighbours so loud? They always keep fighting with each other. They are disturbing my sleep and work routine.

How can people be this careless and dumb?

I want to leave this country as soon as possible, I have only bad memories about it. Why are people like this here? Why do people want to ruin others' freedom? I was not able to marry Riya because she was of a different caste. Is this even a reason to separate two lovers? Well, here it is welcome to India!

I want to beat her father so bad! What kind of man he is? I mean, it was our life, we were happy together, what business did he even have with my life? Actually, Riya was such a chicken if she had been a bit bolder we would have eloped and lived happily ever after. But sadly I can't alter the reality.

It's been two long years now and I every day hope that she might call or text me but no! I think she never truly loved me. Now I am so lonely sometimes I feel like holding a stranger's hand and asking her to give me affection. But alas! I think I was born to be betrayed by Riya. I think God also wants me to accept the fact that I will be left alone in this life.

Riya, please come back to me, please I don't know how to live without you, in fact, I never learned to live without you.

Ritu's POV...

Am I not a human? God, why did you give me a life like this? What have I done?

Ritu's phone rings...

Hello...

Hello, mom, I miss you so much!

Oh, my daughter, Pearl I also miss you so much.

Mom, why didn't you take me with me?

Pearl, baby, it was your father's decision, I can't do anything about it.

Mom, but I miss you so much.

I also miss you, my love, I love you the most baby bear.

I also love you the most Mom.

(Tears keep flowing out from Ritu's eyes)

Rajesh's sister, Reena, takes over the phone from Pearl.

Hello, Ritu, don't worry about Pearl she is good with me.

Okay didi.

Okay, then I am keeping the phone.

Why did Rajesh separate me from my daughter? Does he think that I can't take care of my daughter? Why does he think that I am incapable and I can't do anything?
