YEAR - 1946

PLACE- SALEM, TAMIL NADU

Two months passed after Mary left home. Every living moment was a regret for her.

 Estha never made it better for her. From the start of their life, Estha never came home. Mary started to doubt if she made the right choice. To add to the guilt, She knew her father died because she left him. She always wondered why her dad said no. 

Mary was working in the kitchen when Estha entered..

" Is my lunch ready? " he demanded.

" give me ten minutes and it will be ready".

" WHAT WERE YOU DOING TILL NOW YOU STUPID WOMAN!" yelled Estha.

Mary , with her growing baby bump , sighed.... It was usual .

She calmly replied " If you do not want undercooked food, Please wait".

Estha banged on the table angrily as he sat down, waiting.

Soon Mary set the table, and called Estha.

" HOW DO YOU EVEN CALL THIS FOOD? " he yelled throwing his plate on the floor.

Mary , could do nothing, but cry.

This was their everyday life. Mary did things for the family, which Estha never appreciated. Very Often Mary thought of her childhood, which made her smile. One day.......

"WHERE IS MY SHIRT?" yelled Estha.

He looked for Mary but couldnt find her. 

He searched for her everywhere till he found her sleeping on the floor.

He kicked her, " Wake up you slut!" he hollered.

She slowly got up, holding her growing baby bump, She stood . She felt her head spinning as she balanced herself towards the kitchen, there she blacked out.

AFTER A FEW HOURS.

Mary opened her eyes in a hospital, It took her a moment to realize where she was.

" ESTHA, OH MY GOD, ESTHA IS LATE!" she screamed.

Kuttan hugged her and said " Shhhhh sis , everything is fine"

Mary hugged Kuttan as she sobbed uncontrollably. 

" Is he treating you well, sis?" asked Kuttan

Mary sawllowed her tears, and said " Yes, He is the best decision in my life".

Kuttan looked at her properly, He saw scars in her body which was unscathed before marriage

KUTTANS POV

As I looked at her, I realized that she was lying, Her body was thin and weak. , he knew that she was just trying, not to worry him. Her beautiful face which once shone, faded to a pale expressionless feature . Her eyes were sunken, and there was dark circles around them. He knew that she was not fed properly. She was not the person which Kuttan had seen for the past 15 years. What happened to Mary? The real dare devil Mary? Every boys bad dream. The outspoken never fearing Mary where was she??

He hugged her and said, "you could have listened to father you know?"

She wept profusely

"Shhhhhh........ Im here now and I wont ever let him away with this" he assured her.

Mary said blankly, " I deserve this, and I still believe there is good in him".

Kuttan said nothing , and sat quietly.

 The nurse came in to check on her and said "Ready to welcome your baby?"

Mary was taken into the maternity ward.

A FEW MINUTES LATER

The sound of the baby drowned the commotion in the waiting room,

The nurse came and called " MARY'S HUSBAND!"

Kuttan came running up and said " Her husband is not here, I am her brother".

The nurse handed the baby to him and he started rocking it.

The Nurse said," You are unlucky, Its a girl!"

"Why should we be unlucky? We are infact privilaged to have her here" said Kuttan obstinately.

AFTER A FEW HOURS

Estha entered the hospital , to see Kuttan sitting with the baby.

"DONT TOUCH my child you Bastard" yelled Estha.

"Who are you to say that Mr.?" asked Kuttan

" I AM HER DAMN HUSBAND, and I DECIDE WHO TOUCHES THE BABY" hollered Estha.

The baby was snatched from Kuttan,

as soon as Estha saw the baby's gender he said, "the damn woman only causes trouble for me".

He threw the baby into the nurse's arms.

Kuttan arose with anger and they started fist fighting

They dodged and dodged till  Kuttan puched Estha's face.

Blood started flowing from Estha's nose.

Soon Kuttan found that he was being surrounded by people who had the ability to kill him.

" Where were u till now Kuttan? You only came when your sisters needs were over ". said Estha with a sly grin.

Kuttan felt guilty, Estha was right . The anger towards his sister he felt initially was unbearable, He knew that his mother would never accept her as her daughter as she is the reason their father had a Heart  Attack. He felt that she was secure and happy till he got the call from his friend saying that Mary was in the hospital. Though he tried hating her and not being there for her, his brotherly instincts made him call his friend every day to make sure Mary was doing good

"I'm here now whether you like it or not and no creep is coming between me and my sister". said Kuttan , his eyes gleaming with anger.

Estha heard Mary's voice approaching, He felt for his knife tucked in his lungi.

Just as Mary entered the deserted waiting room, she saw a pool of blood, Where Kuttan was lying  faced down..............
