Thalli Pogathey - Sequel to Poda

Nothing is forever

Y/N's POV

"You did all this because you ' can' do it, right?"  Y/N asked Anjali as Anjali smirked and rested her head on her sofa, lying comfortably on it, without any fear, without any guilt.

She was very calm when the girls and Anirudh barged inside her house. She's still lying on the sofa eating junk food. It's been several weeks since we actually see Anjali and she now looks horrible, all of her baby-face washed away. She looks like she hasn't slept for weeks ( of course, she didn't have any time to sleep while with all these plans on ruining our lives huh). 

She looked at Sri Devi and smirked.

"Should I show the world then?" Her eyes pierced Sri Devi's teary eyes. Fiez held Sri's hand.

Ani spoke first, " and you think I let you get away with it easily? Shruthi and Akshara came out at goodwill, but I will make sure you're nasty psychotic brain rots in prison forever." He lashed out at her as we heard multiple laughter. The loud one is from Anjali's big mouth. The other is from upstairs. 

A girl slightly younger than me walked down. She's wearing a short that shows her shiny legs. She let her shoulder-length curly hair free, and she is wearing a tank top. I recognize her.

Ani gasped. "You! You are Nisha?" His eyebrows suspended in tension. I remember this girl. She tried to kiss my husband, she must have thought she could've got between us and broke our marriage.

Anjali sat up, leaving space for Nisha to sit with her. Nisha took her phone from her pocket and working on it. 

"Please sit down, we have a lot to show to you guys before we show the world," she said without taking her eyes off her smartphone screen.

"Ani and Sri Devi, I sent you guys a video clip." Nisha smiled coyly which I know is a definite act. I wonder whats the relationship between Anjali and Nisha. Anjali never mentioned anyone on that name during our college days.

Both Ani and Sri's phone dinged with notification. The girls shared Sri's phone to watch while I was waiting for Ani to open the video message.

The video shows Ani and Sri Devi in the Cemetary. ufff, I know what they're trying to pull. with this lame footage, they think they can twist my mind talking trash about their 'relationship'. Didn't they see me? I was there too, in the Cemetary.

Then the camera cuts to a restaurant. The video also provides time and date stamp. This was in a day when Sri told us she had a conference and Ani told me he had a director's meeting. Maybe they coincidentally met. maybe both meetings took palace there. What did Anjali expect me to do from this?

Then the secretly placed camera showed Anirudh adding something to Sri's drink when she left for somewhere and she drank it after returning. When they got off, she struggled to walk straight, but she walked without his help. I looked at Ani who mouthed 'trust me' and held my hand and I tightened my grip.

Then the camera cut to a hotel room, and then I found them hugging. Sri's clothing was messed up and Ani held her tight, like how he held me yesterday. His fingers were clawed on her. 

I heard Sri crying, looking at the video. Ani was too froze to say anything. Maybe he was comforting her. What's wrong with comforting huh?

And then Sri fainted and Ani placed her on the bed and he... kissed her.. no it's not mouth to mouth resuscitation. I know how it works! Maybe Ani didn't know how it works maybe. 

Ani placed his phone silently and looked at me. I turned to Sri who looked at me with teary eyes.

"Trust me I didn't know any- " I shook my head softly to cut her off -she really didn't need to do this. After all, she was the victim of a situation. Thivya and Fiez held her hand. I turned to Ani who looked at me with scared eyes.

"Y/N, the situation is against me, but I'd NEVER" a teardrop slid down his eye. "I mean- how could I?" He looked at me to expect me to say something, or at least to show some expression in my face. I realized how stony my face looks. 

"YA YA, you would never, only you did anyway" Anjali mocked Ani. 

"You know what Anjali, this is not my Ani. I know it. I trust him, he wouldn't do something just like that. I know how much Ani and my friends love me. They wouldn't betray me no matter how many times I brought trouble. I refuse to believe that man in the video is Ani. And right... you shoot this video to break us apart right? Mission failed Anjali. Mission failed Nisha. you guys steeped so low, lower than Shruthi Hassan and her gangster friends. If you wanted something from me, you could've simply asked it. You wanted me to die right? Maybe with the guilt right now, I would've died, to bring Aswin justice. I forgive you Anjali. Now, get a life." I stood up as everyone in the hall looked at me.

Sri Devi went near Anjali and slapped. I heard she cursed her. It's the first time I ever heard any of my girls cursing. Thivi and Fiez did some warning signs to never get close to us again. Fiez took a video of everything that happened here. That's our key to stop Anjali, as we don't have any other options left.

I walked out.

Right now I need my home. 

I expected Ani to call my name and to run towards me. But he didn't. Instead, my girls came.

I looked at Sri and then joined my palms to ask forgiveness for what happened to her. She pushed my hands down and hugged me. Everyone joined quickly. Thivya went to get an auto. 

I looked back once, the door is closed. No sign of my husband coming out.

The rest of the ride was silent. Nobody talked anything. Even when they dropped me at my house, Fiez patted my shoulder, and Thivya gave me a weak smile. Sri just looked at me, her eyes weak and droopy like in the video.

******************************************************************************************

I'm looking at the fan rotating at it's highest speed for two hours straight. 

I really thought that wasn't Ani for a second. Even in the dark, I know how my Ani looks, even all the slightest details. The eyes of the Ani I saw in the video didn't look like mine. Then why did Ani didn't come after me - id he filled by guilt? Does that mean he really did that? and not some other person who looks exactly like him?

Any recall from the incident that happened earlier made my stomach twist in disgust. Everything eels crazy. From a psycho stalker haunting my marriage to My husband spiking Sri Devi's drink and took advantage of her when she's fainted from all the alcohol.

God. Are you really there? If so please help me. Please just remove me from this.
