SOUL SWITCH

TO BE MARRIED

ANITHA POV :

I hate even the sight of him . Now, being in his body is not a really good thing.

His betrayal and cheating are still fresh in my heart.

He is one motherfucker who was having a affair with his manager well Ex girl friend.

My life was meserable he steped in as Strom and converted into a breeze that stole my heart later a hurricane that broke the heart.

I am done . I really wanted nothing but to go far away from him but the fate had made me switch into his body.

You may ask what he had done to make you fall in love and later fall out of it.

My story started as a third child to my 40 year old mother . My formation was an accident, while my survival in my mother womb was a luck despite my dad's effort to abort me .

I stepped as a nuisance into my family.

My mom was pregnant with me when my elder sister was about to join college, and my brother was preparing for a state board exam.

My birth was not welcomed by my siblings as they were bullied by their friends . my parents had to earn again and replenish their plans for my upbringing.

I heard my father got silk cloth for my brother and sister to get them first onto his hands . He would be happily carrying them around the house, cueing their cry.

But in my case , my cry was a disturbance for my brother preparation and my dad's sleep.

My naughtiness was not cherished. I never fought with my sibling nor had a good time . They got busy with life.

I was asked to behave mature when I did not even have control over my bladder. I was put on girls' school from very first as my sister ran off.

I was beaten black and blue by my dad for guiding a teenage boy while coming back from school.

I was pushed to the kitchen at the 13 as my mother fell ill and died in a year

Then my father died as I turned 19 .

I did part-time jobs for my tuition fee as my dad saving was in the name of my brother.

     When I was in the final year of B.Sc ARCHITECTURE, which is nowhere of my interest, my brother said I must get married soon as he needs to leave out of state with his family selling the assets.

        He indirectly wants to sell me along but I never had the right to go against anyone . I am not financially good to stand on my own and step out of the house opposing this marriage.

     Nor I have loved anyone so far to elope or seek help. I have only option that is to accept .

     After 3 months. My sister in law wrapped me in a purple saree , the colour I hate but did anyone ask my opinion. My brother already asked me to nod my head as yes if my in law family ask my decision.

      I feel powerless and frustrated . I feel like a property which my brother wants to register onto someone's name as soon as needed.

     The irony in this moment is that the assets have been sold off, yet I need to.

     I chuckled that day at my own state.

    I was taken to the temple where I saw KAVIN first.

    My brother told me he was KAVIN , working on the IT field in Chennai. Warning a handsome of 50,000 per month. He was the only child. His father is a principal, and his mother is a homemaker.

     Our family asked us to take a chit chat around the temple.

    A very uncomfortable silence prevailed . I guessed we both were not in mood to break the silence on second round around the temple.

    But half way of the third round . His dhoti loosened from his waist.

     He gripped it, and my heart paced as he looked at me helplessly.

    " Can you call my father?" he asked.

     I nodded but returned back in a moment with  an answer. " Your father and my brother went to get pooja things. "

      He sighed and looked around helplessly.

       " Can I help you ? " I asked, bitting my inner cheeks . Ya offcourse I am shy.
 
         " If you don't mind, please. " he wispered.

         My hands trembled as I got the fabric from him and tightened around his waist then , stuffing it  wrapped it perfectly and gave a small smile.

       " Thanks, Anjana," He told.

       " ANITHA," I corrected he smiled awkwardly, slightly embrassed

       " It's ok " saying I forwarded my hand." He held it shaking.

       I don't want to beat around the bush so I asked " This is our final round KAVIN and then I have to nod for the alliance so if you don't like me just tell now itself don't drag days because my brother wants to get me married soon . "

      " Why ? " KAVIN asked.

      " Because he is moving out of state soon. He wants to marry me before leaving " I answered .

      " OK. Will you be OK if I say yes ?  my father asked me to say yes as I am already 30 . Will you be OK with a age gap of 11 years ? I also had a break up 6 years ago . I still did not get over it. " he said.

       " I don't know Mr.KAVIN. I am not the one making my decisions. " I answered truthfully.  

       " Same goes for me . I agreed to get married in the same sort of scenerio" He said.

       We smiled at each other understanding.

  
       I was married off to KAVIN before my final semester in next 4 months.
