She narrated the events intricately to the policeman. They questioned her in the middle interrupting her whenever they wanted to clarify something. There were many reactions from the people around her during her description of the events.
Her mother gasped loudly at first and then at a point she started wailing loudly that couldn't be controlled and so she was asked to step outside but she insisted on staying and curbed her sobs. Her father mostly had a plain blank expression on his face as if he still didn't believe the happenings around him. At one point during the narrative, he lost balance and was made to sit d
June 2011, India.Rahul was in jail. They found him two weeks later in a motel hiding under a dirty bed. Apparently, the news channels were helpful to him in choosing his hideout locations as they listed most of the places that the police were looking for him. The tiring efforts of his family members to persuade Anya's parents out of putting Rahul in jail had gone in vain. Anya's father pledged his life upon making Rahul pay for his atrocities and swore to sever the bond with anyone who came in his way. Anya was happy that atleast her parents weren't stupid like her relatives.
Anya sat in front of the television which was showing a reality show. She wasn't really watching as her thoughts wandered aimlessly from the television to memories of her past."Why don't you wear that blue saree we bought you the other day, Anya? It's a nice day. Don't just spend it watching this useless show." Her mother said switching off the television."Why, Ma?" Anya asked softly."We have guests comi
July 2011, India.The wedding preparations started with a swing the moment her mother returned home from the hospital. They decided to skip all the pre wedding functions and conduct the wedding straightaway since the groom Vijay was going back to US after a month. The groom's family had no problem with the incident that happened earlier as they claimed themselves to be understanding and considerate. They never asked for her consent like always and she never spoke anything against them since whenever she raised an issue her mother would hold her chest and stumble down on a chair. All that matter to her at that moment was her mother'
All her life she'd wondered about the insane methods people followed in India in the name of tradition and culture. One insane method was protecting a girl her whole life from other men, not letting her become friends with them, asking them not to trust strangers or even talk to them and then one fine day send her inside a room and ask her to strip her clothes off infront of a complete stranger. What nerve it must have taken to even call this a tradition. Of course things aren't that bad now but still this was happening in most parts of the country. The worst part was asking the girl to trust another complete stranger when she had just been failed by the previous one which was the case with Anya.
Men. One word she hated the most. One species she despised the most. One creation of God that she thought was a mistake and one group that was always a curse to her.She entered the room that she was taken by the receptionist of the fairy services. Her phone buzzed again but she ignored it. It had been ringing since she left the bridge and she dared not answer it as it was from Vijay and her parents. She saw two women very elegantly dressed sitting comfortably behind a desk. One of the women got up and greeted Anya as she came
She checked into her room and immediately packed all her bags. She then called Viola and informed her of what happened with Ronan skipping all the details while she took a taxi heading straight to the airport. Viola asked her to calm down and come home safely so that they could talk about the rest of the things after she arrives back home.The flight back home seemed awfully long and Anya couldn't stop being restless. She kept checking her phone as if she was expecting any calls or texts from Ronan but there were none. She tried to sleep but her eyes refused to shut for more than two minutes. She tried to engage herself into reading a magazine or w
The two weeks deadline finally came to an end and Anya was waiting desperately for Emily's call. She kept checking her phone for every two minutes that Viola got frustrated and hid it somewhere."Please, Vye. This isn't the time to play." Anya said groaning."Then tell me one thing. Do you like him? Not likelikelike but the other like." Viola said wiggling her brows.
"But what, Ronan?" Anya asked as her breathing got heavier."Nothing." He said with frustration. "Sit wherever you want." He said as he started the engine again."I think we should go to your school, Shelly." Anya said after a moment of awkward silence and surprised that he gave up so soon. This
