Our marriage was arranged. We started having feelings for eachother after he tied knot around my neck. I thought it was forever but the we were divorced. Why did we? Why did we lose everything before everything could begin. I want to be with him but...
It was Friday , the last day of weekend. I'm traveling in college bus to my college. As usual it crossed his house. It's been too long I have seen him. Though it's wrong and we are divorced I just wish to see him once in a while to make sure he is alright. As you know our brain behaves like a monkey jumping from here to there having different thoughts.
May be God heard my prayer this time. I saw him.... I saw him watering plants. As soon as I saw him the emotion which I seem to have forgotten, happiness bloom in my face. But it died down as soon the my brain reminded me that we are divorced.
Tears filled my eyes. I turned away from the window and closed my eyes . I opened the physics book and started reading it diverting my mind away from his thoughts. The whole day my mood was totally bad.
The same routine followed up. I reached home back and freshened up. The utensils were already clean so I went and sat in the hall with everyone.
" I have decided something " Appa spoke up. My heart thumped because somewhere deep inside I know where this conversation is directed to.
" I'm going to start look alliance Abirami. " Appa said out. It was pure silence which I decided to break.
" but Appa " I began.
" why are you reluctant Abirami. Think of Akila too. We can only get her married if you are married and we can't see you like this. We want you to have a life filled with happiness. Just think about it and my decision is final." Appa said and went out. I looked at Akila and then at Amma . I closed my eyes and sat there not showcasing my inner turmoil.
Eventhough I don't want to eat anything I had one chapati and went to bed. I don't know why but today sleep took after me soon.
We were lying on the bed. I had my head on his shoulder and he was playing with my fingers.
A sweet smile were there in our faces.
" Abi " he called me lovingly
" hmm " I hummed.
He didn't say anything all he did was to kiss my forehead. I was surprised and in shyness I hid my face in his chest. He chuckled and I could feel the vibration in me.
I opened my eyes as the dream ended. Instead of calling it a dream I would call it reality, the reality of my life. No wonder today sleep took over me early it was because it wanted to keep me awake for the rest of the day.
I decided to open the window and look outside . The serene night with the dogs barking here and there . It was as if there was no one to hear the night's story as no one is ready to hear my side....
