Thalli Pogathey - Sequel to Poda

Never ending cycle

Y/N POV (Finally)

I am a married woman. Married to the Anirudh Ravichander. Then why I don't feel like that?

The mysterious person who turned my life upside down! I know who she is!

And that person also started texting my friends too since they showed me so much support.  And that person is:

Anjali.

I didn't expect it to be her, I didn't expect Sri Devi to involve in this mess. And I'm not afraid anymore.  I feel sad. Also, I feel guilty though I don't know where is MY fault in here. Why would she ever want to use Aswin's name in the first place?

How'd she even know him??  Maybe they're plotting it together?

I found out after I got a call from Rajini Sir (He is my uncle now but I really call him sir though he told me a hundred times not to call that. ) stating that my husband wanted to meet a businessman and used his name for that. Since he appeared in Rajini Sir's house, I had to appear in front of him, as Mrs. Anirudh.

"What the hell is he doing forgetting the meet with one of the businessmen?  And what's his business with the businessmen?  He never mentioned anything." I wondered. I try to look formal as I went to greet him.

Two minutes into the talk and I found out he's Aswins father. And Aswin's dead.  My stomach twisted into numerous knots.  I don't think his father knows his son's obsession over me but I can't stand the sadness in his eyes when he mentioned his son.

I told him we went to the same school and he started talking a lot to me.  He finally went with teary eyes as he got a busy schedule.

He just forgot he came to see Anirudh. So now Aswin's dead. How Anjali know that I feel guilty about the past about Aswin? How does she know our school days in the first place?

I felt really bad for Aswin so I went to visit his cemetery.  It started raining so I hid my body behind a bulky tree that is surrounded by bushes.

It's so scary to be in a cemetery on a rainy day, alone. I relieved hearing a car pulling by. Then shocked, looking at the persons entering the cemetery.

What is Anirudh doing with Sri Devi in here?  He looks confused, serious and Sri Devi is mad, crying. What the hell is happening?  Should I step up?  Then I need to explain to myself why I'm here.

I hid inside the bushes and heard them talk. Everything...  Sri Devi's every word stabbed me straight in the heart. Because of me, he died.  If I didn't agree to that damn prank, he would have lived.  His father would be so happy and proud.

I cupped my mouth and sobbed silently as I waited for them to go away.

After they left, I walked to the nearest bus stand and went home. 

Mom and dad were quarreling with Akka.  They stopped once they see me crying.  I changed and slept the day off.  No one asked me anything. For which I'm glad.  The next day the talk for my sister's engagement is arranged in our home.

That guy whom my sister loves came.  Aswin could have been grown up this much if I didn't kill him. Guilty started piercing me inside.

Ani is trying so hard to find the person behind this all this week, without talking to me.  But I found out finally.

What will he do if he found out this is karma playing for the sin I did?

Will he leave me?  No, I should leave him. If the public ever came to know about this... His career will be destroyed.

I texted her what does she want.

Anjali: Just die.

My family dragged me along to the purchase.  Ani called me. I faked my happiness. I know exactly what he is thinking.  He knows Aswin died because of me. I know Aswin died because of me. 

I was waiting to talk to Sri but she went out to attend the conference.

I should ask for forgiveness for her. She must be heartbroken. 

Maybe Anjali got the information from Sri Devi. But Sri said she's not someone who avenge her friend. And I know she won't do that. 

Maybe Anjali... Perhaps... Blackmailed Sri?  We all know Sri is the most vulnerable one and she can't take blackmail.  But blackmail her with what?

Maybe this is the time where I should work together with Ani.  I can't risk my friend's lives in this.  What if Anjali also hurts my other friends, when they try to protect me?  What if she hurts Ani?

Wait till morning Y/N. Since all my friends got involved, I should gather everyone and plan something.

First I should know everything. I should apologize. We should get clear. We should be strong. Then she can't hurt us. Not anymore.
