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...
I went to temple ofcourse it's a facade to visit my boyfriend Kathir. I'm damn sure the day Appa is going to know about my love affair he is jump from hell to heaven until then I'm going to savour these little moments of us.
Whatever happened today in the market was troubling me too much. It wasn't the right the way she spoke my akka. I want to do something to make that devil lady face something. One day I will and that day I will laugh at her until my stomach pains.
Me and Kathir were sitting near the temple pond silently . That's when he was walking towards us from the pond. Harish , my Akka's ex-husband. He was everything to her but then everything was broken into pieces.
He was watching both of us back and forth while climbing the steps. I was looking at his every move like a predator. He reached near us but was quiet.He stood beside me facing the opposite side .
" Your father wouldn't like this Akila and it might not end well too " He said and walked away . I fisted my hands upon hearing him.
" who the hell is he to care. I will show him his place " Saying that I stood up while Kathir tried to hold me.
I knew his bike so I went out in search of his bike.
" Akila stop it. Don't try to get into problems " Kathir tried to stop me.
" Just leave from here before I kill you. " I said to which he left from there without any further words.
I searched for his bike and pulled out the air in both the tires and waited for him there. After one hour he came.
" God is not going to listen to your prayer " I said rolling my eyes.
He smiled lightly and asked me " why do you think so "
" because... because... ha you must be praying that you should get a good wife and mother's favorite. You see that's not going to happen until I'm alive. The day you get married to another girl I will kill you by poisoning you and then I will go to jail " I said in a go and panted.
He took the vibuthi (sacred ash) and placed it on my forehead slightly pushing my head back.
" I prayed to give you some good sense. I hope you will get it by atleast this birth " he said and started walking away.
" don't marry the girl your mother has found for you " I screamed at him. He left without reacting while I stomped my feet on his bike in anger.
I started walking towards home as it has become already late. As usual I saw my akka indulged in household chores to hide away her pain.
I hope I will find a way to relieve you from this pain as soon as possible. Soon we had food and retired to our rooms.
Whatever happened in the market was running in my brain. I opened my Instagram and logged into my fake account and looked at the phone number which I got from a long distance friend.
I dialled the number and gave a call . It started ringing , after few rings the call was picked up. It was ere silence.
" What do you want Akila " he asked from the other side.
" Did you say yes to that girl which your mother has selected for you " I enquired him. He didn't respond anything.
" No.... I haven't " he responded. I cut the call without saying anything else. I sighed looking at the ceiling, something should be done but I have no idea what it is....
