2020-12-16 13:43:31The illumination of sunlight gently fondled over Rathi's eyelids, disturbing her peaceful slumber. She slowly opened her eyes and gazed at the antic ceiling which was like in the king's fort, and it shined in the bright rays. She felt so surreal to lie down in that fluffy soft bed, she never had this much of comfort anywhere. Rathi immediately raises from her sleeping state grasping that she is in an anonymous home. She noticed that she isn't entirely covered, the saree was just wrapped around her and one end is tugged in her petticoat but she isn't wearing any blouse.
Who changed my clothes? She doubted whether it might be Aadhiyan and then yesterday's events started repeating in her head one by one.I saw an old woman in this room and she went out telling me that she will come with food. Then Aadhiyan came and left telling me to take rest. What happened after that? She again stum

Rathi followed Aadhiyan who's walking too fast for her speed. "Wait, where are you going?" she asked."Don't ask, you'll know once we go there," he replied."Okay but why you're walking too fast?" she asked and he stopped."I am not walking fast, try to say that you're walking too slow," he said since he doesn't like it if someone complains to him."And don't talk useless things keeping the actual matter in your heart," he told and that boosted Rathi's confidence to ask him what she actually wanted to.Before she could proceed, he started walking inside the farm. The sound of chirping birds and the smell of fresh greens made Rathi look around in delight. Rolling up his sleeves, Aadhiyan picked garden scissors, diggers, and a basket on the shelf at the entry."Come with me," he told."That's what I am doing and I'll do even if you won't ask me to," she muttered."What? What did you say?" he turned to her narrowing

He walked to the cupboard and picked her violin which is neatly placed inside. Seeing that Rathi couldn't control her happiness and had a big smile on her face."Yours, but you shouldn't play this whenever you want. Only when I ask you to," he commanded giving that in her hand."Why?" she is vexed hearing that."Because I don't like noisy things." Rathi's face immediately turned sad to know that."You're not allowed to play it in the house but you can anywhere outside," he changed his mind a little bit seeing her dull face."Okay." Rathi nodded her head because he's too generous than Shankari. He's looking intimidating but he's not a bad person. He considers her wishes too."That's better," he said and closed his cupboard. Aadhiyan collected the books from his bed and placed them back on the shelf. Rathi keeping her violin aside and headed near to the window since the view was fantastic from there.The rain is beautiful

The next morning, Rathi opened her eyes hearing the sound of drizzling rain. Her radiating brown orbs looked at the still dark ambiance. She thought it must be around five-thirty or six so she again closed her eyes feeling the coziness under the blanket scented like jasmine. Last night Aadhiyan was using this blanket and she doesn't put anything on her. Are we sharing the same blanket?Then she abruptly opened her eyes when she reminded her about where she is, in the lion's den. She slowly turned to see whether he's still lying beside her but he is not there. Rathi's attention changed when she heard Aadhiyan opening one of the cupboards."Are you coming with me?" he asked out of nowhere because he is turning to the other and there's no way he could know that she's awake if he is a normal human being.She adjusted her saree and looked at him having no clue about where he's asking her to come."To where?" she asked."I am going to take

***She waited in the darkness—where the evil dwells,It crawled closer and close to her looking at her innocent eyes,She reached her hand slowly to the evil,The evil smirked and engulfed her within.***The nights were always boring for Rathi, and at sometimes she feels scared to be alone in the room after those terrible nightmares. But tonight it's different, she strangely likes this cold night, the sound of small night creatures, the smell of wet mud and the beautiful half-moon shining beautifully in the night sky.

Rathi came out after taking a hot bath, a towel was wrapped around her body. Her hair dropping off the water on the corridor floor.Coming inside the room, she changed into the saree that's placed on the bed. This one looked kind of new compared to the saree that she wore in the past two days. Now Rathi is experienced in how to drape it perfectly. But she's not used to this type of clothing and this lifestyle is somewhat stressing her. She has nothing except her clothes and She doesn't have underwear or any other basic things a girl should have and she's feeling too awkward to ask that to Aadhiyan.It feels like she's stuck in ancient times, there's no cable wires, the sound of vehicles, and more importantly cell phones. She never used one properly before but she saw many people having that in their hands all the time whenever she goes outside with the Shankari.She wondered how these people will connect to the external world, what they do when a t

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

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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
