Author's POV

It had been three days since her periods ended, but Akshu still looked like a shadow of herself. Tomorrow was Pandhakaal. The house was buzzing with relatives, preparations, and laughter. Plates clattered from the kitchen, the fragrance of turmeric and sandalwood filled the air, women hummed songs as they tied flower garlands. Everyone around her was excited for the grand wedding.

But inside Akshu, there was only silence.

Everywhere she turned, there was some aunty or cousin pulling her aside, offering advice.

"Akshitha kalyanathuku apro un mamiyar veetla yellarayum needha nalla paathukanum."

"Un purushan solradha kelu, un purushanoda thevai ellathayum needha inime paathukanum."

"Anga avanga sollradhu pudikale naalu seri adjust panniko seriya, yedhuthu ella pesadha."

" Anga irukura yellarayum nalla paathuko adhudha nalla marumagaluku azhagu."

By the end of that never-ending session, her ears were ringing and her heart was heavier than before. She sat before the mirror, staring blankly at her reflection. The glowing bride they imagined wasn't there. Instead, a pale girl with dark circles stared back at her.

The phone call with Vishnu from yesterday echoed in her mind. His gentle, worried voice:

Vishnu - ammu ennachu ye voice dull aa iruku di...( His voice purely showed his worry and concern for her )

She had lied, telling him she had a fever. How could she tell him the truth

-that her real sickness was loneliness? That her heart ached with the weight of sacrificing everything she once dreamed of?

He had firmly told her to eat properly, to rest. But work had taken him away again, and she was left with her thoughts.

Her eyes drifted to the photo frame on her desk. Her graduation day- she was wearing her convocation gown holding her degree certificate her face glowing with happiness , her medal shining, akka and mama smiling proudly beside her.
