2021-01-14 00:05:36Aadhiyan came back home after the cremation, with water sweating from the Dhoti that's covering his lower part of the body. He shaved all his hair on his face and head as giving his final respect to their grandparents. Hair is considered as a pride of man and woman, but when someone dies in the family he/she has to let go of it as a sign of mourning but in Aadhiyan's family it's considered with much more meaning. It's a symbol that even if he's a king to the entire world he holds no pride in front of them and just a mere man who respects their elders from which they have come from.
He didn't ask anyone where Rathi is? He knows she's in the house, he could feel it. His legs didn't wait a single moment. As he walked there, Aadhiyan heard these two questions constantly on his head.
'How she died?'
'Will something happen to my husband too?'
Knowing that she's worried about him Aadhiyan had an evil smirk. Not even once Rathi thought it's Aadhiyan because no gr

Rathi is at the temple, the entire place is glowing in the flames of a big fire pit before her. She was standing there in confusion about what's happening. She saw Aadhiyan's father, grandfather, great-grandfather, Das, and the rest of the man there, in a shirtless glory. They all looked young, she could recognize their faces but a man standing beside Das, she couldn't identify him at all. They had smeared the dark red Sindoor on their foreheads.She couldn't speak anything, and no one cares that she's there. Suddenly the crying sound of an infant gained her attention. She saw a beautiful child in Aadhavan's hand and another one child on his lap, his face is not happy to hold it, his eyes glowed in loyalty and... regret. He shut his eyes and held one of the children near to the burning fire. He had no intention to hold the baby securely and at the top of brutality, his hands let go of the child into the flame.Rathi was taken aback but she couldn'

Everyone was walking in that crooked path to reach the temple. Today, it's the full moon day that everyone was afraid to meet.The bright moonlight cleared the darkness surrounding them.

Rathi stepped back. There's something wrong with him! She didn't doubt it; strongly believes it now."Why do you always questioning me?" he hissed gripping her shoulders. "Can't you just stay in your limits?" Rathi is greatly intimidated by his warning. But still, she couldn't keep her mouth shut, she doesn't want to give up this chance since no one will tell the truth to her other than Aadhiyan."Why should I've to be silent? I want to know?" she hesitantly told. Aadhiyan's face turned hard to hear that."What do you want to know?" he confronted."Who are you?" she asked gazing his eyes."What type of question is this?" he glared."I saw you, there's something glowed in your eyes on our wedding day, that day in the cascade and even now," she asked."Who do you think I am?" he smirked by her disclosure."I don't know," she nodded."You saw me a lot of times, can't you recognize me?" he asked.She thought for a mom

The wind is blowing harder as it could even make Rathi slip out of her balance. She cleared her vision to see someone walking before her. A skinny- petite woman, Rathi has never seen someone like her. She has long hair that reached her thighs but it's unkempt. Her half white saree is covered in blood, especially in the thighs. It's loosely covering her body but that woman doesn't care about anything and walking to her destination –to the edge of that cliff. The clouds were closely floating over her head and the chill drizzles from the rushing waterfalls made the surface damp.Rathi turned to see her home at the far end! She's aware that she's in a dream and needed to know what this is going to show her now!That woman walked like someone who's no longer wanted to live in this world. It reflected dejection, pain, and hate. More tha

"No I can't eat anything, more than this, please," Rathi said to Sumaya."NO no, you cannot say like that, just eat this one serving of rice," Mithran insisted and Rathi held his hand."Please Anna, I can't," she requested."Hmm," he nodded and sat beside Sumaya. They were so happy to hear about Rathi's pregnancy. On the same evening, Mithran asked Rathi to come for the dinner in their house, and he cooked all the best dishes he knows."Ayya do you want something?" Mithran asked when Aadhiyan was silently chewing his food."No, Mithra," he smiled."Do you like it?" Mithran questioned seeing his unhappy face."You know that I like your cooking," he replied and continued to eat.Sumaya watched them w

Rathi could feel nothing but the scorching fire. In front of her, there’s a big well which is glowing brightly, she went close to it and saw something that will ruin her sleep for the rest of her days. There are hundreds of heads rotting and burning in it. In a terror, Rathi turned to run but she saw something that made her stumble. That’s Aadhiyan and his eyes were totally red like a devil. His hand carried a man’s head. He dropped it and came closer and Rathi closed her eyes in fear.In the middle of the night, when they were deep in sleep, Rathi got up from her sleep and sat upright in shock. Her eyes started to shed tears which is an impulse for the horrific visuals she saw in her dream right now.“No don’t get scared, don’t,” she mumbled and kept telling me that.At that moment she wanted to use the bathroom, but

Rathi was frightened to hear Sumaya crying in the labor pain. She doesn't know what to do and just stood there like a piece of wood."Aadhi, get some hot water," her father in law ordered him."Rathi, hold her hand," Aadhiyan shouted at her and she nodded her head."Calm down, Sumaya. We are with you," Rathi solaced still knowing that no one can be silent at this time. Aadhiyan's dad asked Sumaya to push out. Though she tries, the child's head isn't visible.Aadhavan panicked and urged Sumaya to force out her best. The blood and mucous started drenching the sheets. Mithran was not there and he was standing outside. Usually, husbands won't stand there to see their wife in pain and they will get emotional too which might hinder the process.Aadhiyan came inside with the hot water, cloth, and a sharp knife. He placed it beside his father and held Sumaya's other hand.The moments become stretched, and Sumaya cried and creamed not able to withsta

Her room was dead silent, Rathi could even hear the sound of the wind that blows through the window, her eyes were tired of crying. She's blankly staring at the sunrise sitting on her bed. Rathi couldn't understand what's happening around her, it's confusing and terrifying to imagine the things that are going to happen to her in the future. Now she has a great doubt whether she will be alive after the birth of her child. Rathi was always afraid to die, she doesn't want to be that human who has never experienced true freedom. The faith that she will be safe here has totally vanished out from her mind after witnessing Sumaya's death.I have to live for this child, I can't let these people raise him as a heartless freak like Aadhiyan, she constantly had this thought.

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.

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(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

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.

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
