2024-10-29 19:42:56The 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!

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?"

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.

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

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.
