Parvati POV.
We meet Lakshmi ma. I gave her sweets. Lakshmi ma asked me to come with for the marriage function day after tomorrow. The function was conducted by one of her friends, as her daughter is going to get married. Ma has to attend the function so she asked me to join her.
Anyway, I will be alone at home as Ajith is going out of the station for some emergency work. This is all that he said and even I didn't ask much.
He left today early in his bike and I am attending marriage tomorrow which is a little far from our stay. We thought to go early as it will be easy to rest for some time from a long journey.
Next day morning.
I woke up early and did all the chores and packed some food for breakfast.
I took a nice shower and wore sky blue color saree it's Ajith's favorite color. I draped the saree around me nearly. And applied sindoor in my partition, wore some matching bangles, and last I wore bindi and jumkas.
Finally, I took a look at myself in the mirror. I blushed to imagine Ajith. Thank God he is not there or else he will keep on staring me all day.
I finalized everything and took my bag and locked the door securely. And took my vehicle and reached the orphanage.
Ma was waiting for me with a small gift in her hand. I parked my vehicle there.
Lakshmi ma: Shona it's already late come let's go to the bus stop.
We went to the bus stop and caught the correct bus. After while two hours, we reached our destination. We took an auto from there to reach their house. Ma gave the address to the auto uncle.
After half an hour we reached the whole house was decorated with flowers and lights. It looked beautiful with simplicity.
Ma introduced to her friend, Sheela aunty. Then we entered the bride's room.
Sheela: Nisha sees who is here??
The girl in her twenties turned around.
Sheela: meet my best friend Lakshmi and her daughter Parvati.
She took blessings from ma and hugged me.
Lakshmi: here beta take this gift as my blessings.
Sheela: okay we will leave now. Parvati you stay here only. Come, Lakshmi, me their much more to talk with you.
I looked at ma she nodded her head went away. I stood their silently.
Nisha: di come and have seat you must be tired from a long journey. And don't feel out of place these are all my friends.
The conversation started from introduced and continued with random. We got the bride ready and now we just need to reach the avenue.
There were two cars and one minibus. We all settled down. Ma went with Sheela aunty and I am with some of Nisha's friends seating in one car. All the relatives are in the minibus.
The started to reach the avenue. They stopped at a particular place to purchase some necessary required things. I was just thinking about my marriage when I saw Ajith in his helmet on the other side of the road in a pharmacy shop. What was he doing there?? He told that he was going out of the station for some emergency work. Then how can he here? That means.......He lied to me. Why did he do that?
I moved out of the car telling others that I saw my friend and I will reach the avenue with them.
I followed him and called him, but my voice didn't reach him maybe because of the helmet. He started the bike I tried to catch him but he moved away from me as I crossed the road.
I took the auto and told the uncle to follow his bike. He did as I told. The clouds started to darken and a cool breeze started to hit my skin.
After following for few minutes we saw him getting in a big old mansion in a silent area. I told the auto uncle to stop the auto and paid him.
I walked inside the mansion but the main door was closed. I saw that the window was open. I peeked in only to see Ajith and a pregnant lady.
I saw he was hugging her and kissed her forehead. My eyes erupted with tears. He cupped her cheeks.
Ajith: how are you feeling now.
Lady: exhausted...
He laughed and kneeled down and kissed her baby dump.
Ajith: so my champ is throbbing his Mumma a lot now.
My eyes widened in the realization that it's his. He is married already I can see the wedding chain on her neck and moreover he going to be a father.
How can this happen to me..... A snob escapes from my mouth.
So how is the chap.....
Question is......
How do you want your life to be??
Thank you.
