I heard a knock on the door. I came out. My saree was partially wet; my makeup, all messed up. My sister was knocking the door She was shocked on seeing me like that. I appeared to her in an appearance which she neither dreamt of nor wanted. She shook me hard to make me realise what day it was. She asked me, what just happened and very plainly I said, "I can't marry him."
She left my hand as she placed herself on the bed in utter shock, she didn't know what happened but she knew I won't say such a big thing just like that. Her eyes, they questioned me,"how could you?"
I turned a blind eye and went to my cupboard. As I opened it, in the front laid a photograph of him. I kept it under the clothes but only after I had a look and felt it's warmth.
