Sitting on the rock chair in front of her father in law's house, Rathi watched the rain that's gently started pouring, arising the Petrichor which is her favorite fragrance to smell. Aadhavan has planted a lot of floral plants before his house which was bloomed at that evening time, flowers are her favorite sight to see and the sound of rain is her favorite sound to hear but, she couldn't relish anything. In fact, she hates everything around her, she hates to stay in this place and she hates these people.
It's been a day since she came back from her near-death experience. She despises the fact that she's here alive and that got the gloomiest expression on her face. The stains of turmeric-ginger paste she applied on her cheeks for the swelling is still there; her eyes were tired after all the crying and her body is too light to feel any pain. Her wounds started healing but she doesn't know how she's going to heal her heart.
Imagine the girl who went to escape the hell w
As the Rain continued in the night the place becomes too cold, her father in law gave sheets and shawls for her to cover and ignited the fire in the inglenook at the center of the wall. After having her dinner, Rathi felt somewhat better but she couldn't fall asleep and sat looking at the Rain through the window beside her."If you kept thinking about what happened, you can never fall sleep?" her father in law commented from the other side of the room sitting on his mattress. He gave his bed for Rathi and he's lying on the floor. She didn't answer him and stared out as it's the truth she's still pondering about that King."You are hating us, aren't you?" he asked that calmly after a moment."You want to hear my answer, then yes, of course, I hate everything here," Rathi said looking at him. The only source of light in that place is the fire from the hearth, equally spreading the bright light across the room."I don't know what really happened but you shou
After taking a hot bath Rathi came out wearing her saree, her eyes had a calm stare, and her face somewhat better compared to yesterday. The inflammation on her face is healed but still has that scar.She went behind the house to dry her hair but she stopped when she saw her father-in-law standing under the banyan tree placing his palm on its rough wood. Rathi watched his face which is deep in the thoughts of something, maybe their conversation yesterday might have reminded him about his wife and Rathi thought that tree must be her late mother-in-law. She doesn't want to disturb him so she walked to the front.The sun is shining clearing up the clouds, the birds were chirping and the butterflies were fluttering around the flowers pleasantly. Rathi observed the ambiance with a smile on her face. She took off the towel on her hair and stood under the sunlight. The combination of moisture and warmth felt blissful to feel.Like disturbing her peace Iniyan yelled, "A
Rathi watched the crabs of all sizes making their way towards its hideouts and some towards the ocean at this unusual afternoon time and the dark cirrus clouds were marching towards the island which she has never seen before.The signs of the hurricane were hard and heavy just like the first time she came to this place. The wind gradually starts to blow in high current which made Rathi anxious and she couldn't see anything properly. She went inside the house, and placed Migali who's soundly on her bed, and came to see all these changes that were occurring all of a sudden.The high waves almost came to the fence, Rathi knew that nothing will happen to her since she believes whether the God here is good or evil it will protect her and the people who were worshipping it for all these years. But she wondered what will happen to the men who went out to the ocean. Aadhiyan will save them but still in front of the ferocious nature no one stand and fight it. She hates him yet
In Tamil, Mama- Father in law, Anna- brother and Ayya means sir or master. So please remember these things."You are excited to see Rathi, aren't you?" Mithran asked."No, why should I? I have so many things to take care of. Even if I am going to live in the same house, I shouldn't talk to her until the right time comes." Aadhiyan replied...."Did she ate her breakfast?" Aadhiyan asked Shankari."No,""Why?" Aadhiyan asked worriedly sitting on the dining hall of Rathi's old house. "Beca
A day has passed since her father in law returned home after that fruitless search for Aadhiyan. Rathi is tired of her life and increasingly started to fear what's going to happen after this but she didn't lose that small hope that maybe Aadhiyan will miraculously come back.The heavy rain has stopped but it still drizzles. Sitting beside the door and looking at the endless rain deeply saddens her. She can hardly able to breathe in this atmosphere. It's suffocating her like she wants to end her life in order to end everything.She looked at the necklace and reminded her about what the ghost has said to her, 'Your husband is dead.'How can he die when he was protected by the Gods? She thought but then she felt it doesn't seem like the ghost is lying. Even sometimes God can fail too, they have left Aadhiyan when he was in danger so that he didn't make it to the
The tweeting sound of birds mildly heard against her ears and the piercing sunshine dangles over her eyelids when Rathi finally able to open her eyes after a long sleep. It felt like so long since the room was so bright with the sunshine. When you're in a difficult situation of your life, even the time will act against you and move slowly, like that, the past three days felt like three years.Rathi looked around the ambiance to find no one around her. The bedsheets were neatly folded in the place where Aadhiyan slept yesterday and her father in law's place is empty. She got up and adjusted her saree before walking out to find them."Where is he?" Rathi asked. Aadhavan is cleaning the lawn which is all covered by the leaves and mud which were carried here by th
Rathi heard a woman's whisper against her ears, it doesn't let her sleep and she opened her eyes gasping hard to find herself in the middle of eerie darkness. Confused and petrified, she looked around to see light from anywhere. But then the giggling of a little boy got her attention. She turned to find no one. "Who is that? Come to me?" though her voice shook, but getting rid of her fear she stood there reaching out her hand in the direction where the footsteps come from.She knew this is a dream.She knew there's a purpose for it.She knew it's going to change her mind the next morning.Suddenly someone held her hand. The clasp was rough and tight. "Who are you?" Rathi asked wiggling her hand."Leave my hand?" Rathi tried but she couldn't.She reached out her hand to touch the figure w
