Chapter 7

Her arms wrapped around her knees as She let her head fall into her knees as She cried out loud unable to control the pain she was feeling right now . It was hurt ! This wasn't something new for her since the day She married him but for the first time She questioned herself ,

"Can't I please him?" , She cups her mouth muffling her sob remembering the words of Daadi and Maaji – they had always taunted on her competency -

"He rejected me" Her words struck on her throat as she let the pain take over her

She asking time to be intimate was different from him rejecting her . A sardonic chuckle leaves her lips hearing the screeching sound of the car speeding off . Escape ! Leaving her alone with her questions he left – It was easy for him to walk away as if nothing happened but was it easy for her?

"I Hate You" She whispers hoarsely finding his wall size photo looking at her with a smile . It looked like as if he was mocking her .

Mornings brought freshness for Gauri but Today it wasn't , Her Morning filled with sadness and hurt . Looking at her reflection in the mirror She found her eyes red and puffy and redness peaking on her nose . Biting her lower lip to stop another sob which was trying to escape her lips. She closes her eyes applying the 'sindoor' on her parting .

Was Our Relationship only bound to this mangalsutra and sindoor she wore each day?

His eyes comes past in the curtain of her eyelids , His smile then His teasing the day back and Finally he walking away repulsed by her !

Gauri wipes her tears hastily hearing the tap on the door . Swallowing the lump which was forming She walks to open the door.

Can My morning be any better?

"Maaji" Her voice sounded tired

"Why—"

Gauri cuts off tiredly "Spare me today –I am not ready to hear your taunts "

Jhanvi's eyes softens hearing her , She wanted to check whether Gauri was doing fine , She had woken up in the midnight hearing the commotion , walking out of her room Jhanvi had seen Omkara leaving trying to balance him on his feet – She knew that moment He was drunk ! Jhanvi wanted to reach out to Gauri at that moment to know whether she was fine but She knew it would not be good to walk into her daughter-in-law's room at that time .

Jhanvi for the first time was scared about Gauri , Her eyes had wandered to the clock each minute she heard the tic-tock . Her Maaji, Daadi, had kept taunting on Gauri on her upbringing saying She cannot even wake up early morning . Pretending to fake her anger front of her Maaji she had come to check on Gauri.

"Are You Fine Bacha?" Jhanvi asks her heart paining seeing how sad she looked and the reason was her son hurt her more.

The floodgates open as her tears starts pouring . Gauri wraps her arms around Jhanvi's shoulder hugging her tightly as She cries . She saw her mother in Jhanvi for a moment .

Jhanvi hugs her back soothing her back worriedly "Bhacha what happened?"

Gauri sobs loudly hugging her more tightly , her knees give in , all her energy drained as She falls on her knees weeping uncontrollably .

Jhanvi kneels beside worried and concerned as she cups Gauri's face in her palms "What happened Bhachi?"

Gauri runs her fingers around her cheeks and fakes a smile "I just miss my Mumma , that's it" She moves back from Jhanvi's palms knowing She would taunt her now but for her surprise Jhanvi pulls her to her chest wrapping her arms around Gauri's shoulder and patting her head .
