The sky is colored in the shades of red, violet, and black, the sun is telling its goodbye for the day, and their room slowly turning dark. In that dozy evening, Rathi was standing before the mirror and examining her scar. It's still black in color but the pain is nowhere. The oil that Aadhiyan gave has really worked and she applies it gently on her rough-hard skin. Rathi felt like it's someone's else skin as it's so odd to touch it.
"Want some help?" Aadhiyan asked who's watching her by resting on the bed quietly. He is shirtles
Sumaya and Mithran's house is located at the front side of the fort, it's small compared to Aadhiyan's house and it's dull, dark and lifeless. But from there the ocean is near, we can reach it in a few steps from the rear side of the house and they provided one of the rooms in the backside. From her room, she could see their garden and ocean. Rathi is pleased by their kindness.Mithran has talked so sweet like how her real brother would do. And Sumaya was more like a sister. They showed her a small album containing the pictures that have taken before and after their marriage, as they won't many photos, the album is something they treasure for their next generation. They told her that they were bought up in the island ever since they were born. And Mithran revealed that Das was his father and Sumaya was Das's sister's daughter. They were both cousins and got married last year. Das is a cousin to Aadhiyan's dad. That's how they are all related.For Rathi, t
It was the day before their wedding, Rathi was sitting in the garden area feeling so bored and hungry. The ceaseless waves didn't let her look anywhere else, she could watch it for the entire day. Resting her chin on her knees she respired the salty sea breeze.Her stomach gurgled and she placed her hand on it. This hunger is killing her. It's a tradition that the bride should be in fasting the day before the wedding. Except for water she didn't have anything from the morning. It's too tiring and hard but she encouraged herself that the day will soon pass away.She closed her tired filled eyes and the first image that came to her mind was Aadhiyan's face. Instantly she opened her eyes and patted both her cheeks to come out of him. She never felt this nervous on any other evening as tomorrow at this moment she will be with his side as his wife. Now it giving chills on her spine.After that day, she didn't hear Aadhiyan's voice because she never trie
Rathi came out of the bathroom after her morning chores. The weather is too cold today and wrapping her arms with her saree she opened the door to see Mithran. He smiled and Rathi smiled back. "Shall we go?" he asked as he had towels in his hand. "Hmm," she nodded and went with him. It's dark since the time is just 3.30 am in the early morning. Sumaya was waiting outside and told morning greetings when she saw Rathi. After three straight days, Rathi is coming out of the house and looked around to see the fort was decorated with flower garlands as in the Indian weddings. It's so beautiful and she never thought these people will celebrate the wedding this much or is it just for them? She walked with Mithran and along with them Iniyan also joined. He's another one cousin to Mithran and he isn't married. "The skies are dark. I think it's going to rain," Iniyan told to Mithran. "Yes, it will rain. After all, today is Ayya's wedding,
Desire is a sinfully dark undying obsession"Rathi?""Rathi," Aadhiyan's rough voice sounded sweetly against her ears. His hot breath blew on her earlobe giving a tickling sensation when she slowly returned to her conscious."Open your eyes," he patted gently on her cheeks. She flutters open her eyelids to see the blurred vision of Aadhiyan. Tears welled and glided to ears when she tries to clench her right fist."Your hand has to heal keep it easy," Aadhiyan pacified wiping her tears. She felt like every part of her body is frozen and with the help of Aadhiyan, she got up and sat straight. Her throat is dry and her stomach is tired of gurgling for the food.Aadhiyan didn't ask whether she's alright because he knows she isn't. "I bought food, Rathi," he told. She didn't speak and stared him in fearful confusion."I know you can't eat with your hand, I'll feed you," he told and shoved the curd rice near to her mouth. She's bl
Rathi woke up the next morning before Aadhiyan. She looked at him who's hugging her securely like his possession. His head is resting on her shoulder blade, his right leg and hands were on her body giving her no chance to get up.She slowly reached out her hand to touch his hair but she paused heaving out a sigh. She blushed when she felt his hot breath on her neck and heard that small snore. Reminding of yesterday's events she felt even more awkward and shy.She doesn't know what happened to her last night and how easily she gave herself to him. But she didn't regret it because she also wanted him.Rathi could feel the change that's happening to her compared to when she's with Shankari. Before she thought she's too young but Aadhiyan turned her into a woman now.
The tranquil night was disturbed by her whimpers, their unclothed bodies were rolling crazily on the bed in the heated passion. His hands held her wrist over her head that tries to disturb his way and pounded wildly inside her. Aadhiyan stumbled back on the bed after that after that breathless orgasm.Rathi curled herself hugging her knees, she's totally blown away after those last moments. Aadhiyan swooned her small frame and kissed her cheeks."Did I hurt you?" he asked.She nodded no without turning to his side.The room was completely dark, and the mild moonlight somewhat trying to make it bright. Rathi turned to him and placed her hand on his beard cheeks.Today Aadhiyan took he
“Don’t run,” Aadhiyan warned with a smile across his face.“You’re walking too slow, come fast,” Rathi urged running into the woods. The jiggling sound of her anklet was pleasing to hear. The smell of the muddy wind filled his nostrils as he moved closer to the cascade. The place was colorful with all the flowers and trees. Butterflies were chasing one another and making it the most beautiful and serene place in the entire world.“Be careful, you will hurt your feet,” he advised and his eyes studying her every move.“I won’t,” she giggled and went near to the cascade. She watched Aadhiyan sauntering to her taking small steps. She can’t help but fall in love with everything. Even that ugly beard that growing fast on his face. Once he came closer she encircling her hand around his neck and kissed his lips passionately.“Your lips taste like sweet,” he told.“Is
Aadhiyan stood up and blocked her way to confront her. "You can't talk to me like that?" he gripped her hand firmly. His face is devoid of expression.Rathi was stunned by his action and saw him with fear. "I was talking to you showing all my good side but you just walk over me? Are you taking my words as a joke?" he gritted in anger and his hand slowly twisted her wrist. The rage covered his eyes, for a moment he's not that Aadhiyan who seemed to love her."Leave my hand, it's hurting," she pleaded and her eyes welled with tears. Rathi didn't expect this from him, all her beliefs broke in that moment."No, you need to learn how to talk to me," he twisted it hard and Rathi cried in pain. All the love, affection and care that she's having for him has come to the point of questioning. Is
40(3)It was a cold night after the wedding. After sending off the bride and groom to their home. Kayanangai and Aathiyan returned to their place. It was a great day. Kayanangai almost forgot everything when she was surrounded by so many people. But after coming back to their chamber, her anxiety knocked her down. Carrying this much sadness and yet acting like she was alright is troubling her. She couldn't take this anymore and wanted an end to this.Aathiyan went to sleep before Kayanangai, and she sat beside him looking at the dark skies for some time. Her mind is only thinking about how she could find that witch. It must be that witch because she knows there's no one capable of such an act.She laid beside Aathiyan and watched him sleep peacefully. Her heart desires only one thing, which
40(2)The next morning, when Kayanangai opened her eyes, Aathiyan was nowhere to be found. She tied up her hair and looked at the morning sun with a smile. She got up and saw Arulvarman was asleep. It's a surprise that he didn't wake up in the middle of the night and she couldn't understand how she slept even after the sun was up. She took him in her arms and nursed him while thinking about what happened yesterday. It's so new that Aathiyan left in the morning, without saying a word. She remembered about yesterday and how she felt unsure about him. But then she convinced herself that it was Aathiyan to feel better.Kayanangai waited for him, minutes passed and an hour passed but there's no sign of him. She bathed, had her breakfast and the guards have told her that they haven't seen Aathiyan since morning.
40(1)Life got a little more peaceful after Aarani stopped coming to the palace. Especially for Kayanangai. She felt so free and started to notice the changes that had happened in her life. She believes Aathiyan has ordered her to not come to the palace as he always hated her around here, but she doesn't know the truth that Aathiyan lied to her. Nakan was always there around them and Aathiyan didn't give any orders because he couldn't find him at all.Ever since Kayanangai saw Aarani smiling at her father's funeral she felt something strange and she decided not to keep her beside her after getting this doubt. She can't help but think whether Aarani is that witch. She has no answers and no one is going to tell her the truth unless she finds it on her own.Aathiyan spends more time with her and she's finally com
39(5)The rain is pouring heavily outside, and the loud thunderstorm echoed inside the absolutely quiet palace. Kayanangai returned to the palace, after two days of staying in her father's home. She met Aathiyan only twice in these two days but she understood what a great human he is. For all these days, she had contradicting thoughts about him. She always hangs in the middle and never believes he's totally bad or good. Now she has a perfect picture of him. She's so fortunate to get a man like Aathiyan, he cares about her more than she cares about him and the greatest favor he has done to her put him on the pedestal of her heart. If her father had asked that favor to her, she could have never done that.Aathiyan could have easily refused to release Veera from prison becaus
39(4)Aathiyan expected a message from his Guru but nothing came even after a week. He wondered how long it would take for him to find something. Aathiyan doesn't want to pressure him so he decides to wait until the message comes.Meanwhile, all of Aathiyan's attention was on Nakan; he's around Kayanangai all the time. Even Though he's in the form of a woman, he sees the admiration and lust in her eyes.The way Kayanangai smiles for his jokes and being affectionate on Aarani makes him frustrated but he couldn't do anything.He noticed that it's been so many days since he talked openly with Kayanangai. She doesn't seem to care about him like she used to. There are many times he tried to tell her the things she doesn't know but Nakan said that he'll face some s
39(3)"Mathinila, please listen to what we are saying. You should stay in the palace," Sumitra said."No, I can't. These people and the King punished my husband and I can't live in their pity concern," Mathinila retorted. It's been a week since Veera went to prison and the family is trying to cope up with the sudden changes in the family. Now Sumitra wanted to leave, she couldn't take people's strange gazes and murmurs behind her back. It's making her even more depressed."I have to protect my self-respect; my father has a big house in the town. I can live there peacefully," Mathinila said, walking carrying her daughter and a few things in the basket.Kayanangai was also there but she didn't stop her sister. She thought it would be better if she went to
39(2)"So Veera Pandya asked you to cast a deadly curse on my father? Is that right?" Aathiyan asked Ganthika, in front of the court. "Yes," she nodded. "He asked me to do that. He threatened me when I hesitated," Ganthika answered in her shaky voice. Like she's a victim too."I gave him a vial full of poison and he gave it to his father," she added."No, that's a lie. I never gave him anything to my father. Ask everyone," Veera Pandya begged.But nothing was heard in anyone's ears. Everyone was convinced of Ganthika's testimony. Even Aathiyan thought that's the truth but later he understood they were equally guilty."Now the
39(1)The next day, the people in the palace were talking about this matter but Aathiyan slept well that night. He has let his anger out after a long time and he didn't pay any attention to the consequences."I heard you have put your brother in prison?" Kayanangai asks when the moment he woke up from his sleep. He has heard this from one of her maids. "That happened last night," Aathiyan answered, leaving out a yawn."Why didn't you tell me anything?" she asks. "Because you were asleep when I came back so I thought I should tell you today," Aathiyan said. Kayanangai can't help but frown hearing his lethargic reply.
38(4)Kayanangai saw him and she couldn't help her worries seeing Aathiyan's face. "Is something bothering you?" she asks. Aathiyan turned to her, "No, I am fine," he answered and sat near her."Are you telling me the truth?" Kayanangai asked. "Yes," he smiled and placed his head on her lap."When you are near me, I am fine," he said. She smiled and caressed his hair. "Aarani didn't come to w
