It was a wedding where I happened to meet Arjun and his family again after that talk on the phone with Hariharan. I spoke to Anandhi and asked her to send Anika's photo, horoscope and biodata as soon as possible but she said that she will send it to me on an auspicious day that comes after a week. Dhanam is not comfortable yet in facing friends and relatives in functions like these, so she stayed home and I came to attend this function.
"How are you, uncle?" Arjun came and spoke to me. He is a nice, gentle man.
"I am good, maapillai. How are you?"
"I am good too, uncle. How is aunty?" he asked me.
"She is fine too. She is not yet comfortable meeting relatives. So she

Her Second-Hand Husband 29. Horoscope Match
Arjun's PoVSivaprakasam uncle sent me and my mom a biodata, horoscope and a picture through WhatsApp a week later after we met him in that wedding. I couldn't even believe that dad could talk like this to someone on face. It was so undiplomatic of him. He literally hurt Anamika's dad's feelings. I know he doesn't like them much. Everyone in my family thinks that she eloped with her past love or something like that. Though they don't talk like that in front of me, I know what they all think. My family holds Anamika's parents responsible for this mishap. My dad thinks that her parents forced her into this marriage because we are rich. No one ever tried to disrespect her parents because I was always in support of them. I could see their shock and genuine sorrow which proved that they are unaware of anything that concerns their daughter. Though it is their mistake not understanding their daughter, it is also true that no one can g
Last Updated : 2021-09-15Her Second-Hand Husband 30. What I Want?
Anika's PoVI told mom that Arun is not coming to meet them. I really felt bad to say this to my mom. My mom is always against this new age culture. She always says that the culture they were brought up in was the right one. Talking friendly to the opposite sex is offended by her. Throughout school and college, she wanted me to stay away from boys. She never used the word LOVE in our house. She thought it to be a sin to fall in love with someone before marriage. I should have listened to her advice. If at all I have listened, my dad would be fine now.Looking back, I realized all that has happened, has happened for no reason. Arun is no more in my life. My mom's advice would have saved me from that embarrassing moment when my mom caught me the other day. It would have saved that awful fight mom and dad had because of me. It would have saved my reputation in my fa

Anika's PoVWould he think I am desperate, if I message him? He will!'Hello Arjun, if I am not disturbing you, may I ask if there is anything positive regarding my job?'I composed this message but was hesitant to send it. He would think that I am starting a talk deliberately. Or what if he thinks that I don't even know that he is a possible to-be groom for me? Then he won't think bad of me for texting him. Besides, it's been two weeks since I sent my resume to him. He is a busy man and it is my responsibility to follow-up on him. I need that job after-all. I hit the send button. Soon after he read the message, he started typing a reply to me. I waited impatiently for him to finish typing and send a response to me.'Hi Anika, Sorry, I missed se
Last Updated : 2021-09-16Her Second-Hand Husband 32. The Engagement
Arjun's PoVI don't know what to do. Things are getting out of hand and I cannot stop it. I truly don't know if she knows that we are about to get engaged with each other. Everything is happening so fast and my mom is very happy about it. Sivaprakasam uncle is euphoric and he came straight to my office to thank and congratulate me. It is because of him and the word I gave him, I could not stop this. I clearly know that she is in love with someone but I cannot state it to stop this wedding because it would be immoral of me to spoil the reputation of a girl. I thought she would deny me but we are now travelling to Coimbatore to see her. It is more like a confirmation, an engagement.I still remember that message she sent me to check on the job for her and I replied to her with Ashwin's office address. I completely forgot about her job as I was busy with my work. I
Last Updated : 2021-09-17Her Second-Hand Husband 33. Somersaults
Anika's PoVThings happened so fast once I told my consent to my mom. My mom informed Sivaprakasam periyappa about our approval and he was more than happy about this. I really wonder if there are real good people in this world still alive like Periyappa who can oversee his sorrow and wish goodness for someone else. Mom, after talking to him, told me that he will let Arjun's parents know about our consent. I started going to my office, I liked the place and people there. I don't know, but I felt like I was given special care and help in the office. Maybe that is how they treat newcomers there but I felt it is because I was referred to by Arjun. That gave me a kick inside and it made me float in the skies.Two days after I said ok, things actually started to happen at a very fast pace. An indescribable feeling of fear and enthusiasm hit me straight in my face. Mom spoke
Last Updated : 2021-09-20Her Second-Hand Husband 34. The First Night
Anika’s PoVI still couldn’t believe that we are married. Yes, we are married! It was like a dream. The 15 days rushed off like a minute in all the wedding preparations we had to do. Since my dad was not in his best health, I had to accompany mom and Adu for everything including invitation distribution. Arjun’s parents took care of everything that regards the wedding like, catering, clothes, decoration, transportation and mangalyam. I just had to give them my measurements for the wedding clothes. Mom and I went to jewelry shops to exchange the old jewels for some new ones that are in trend. Mom got me some change of clothes and some essentials for me to take to the new home. We literally didn't have enough time to even breathe. And yes, I didn't call Arjun neither did he.From today morning, I have been spending my entire time with him, brushing shoul

Arjun’s PoVThe 15 days went by in a blink. I went on a shopping spree to buy anything and everything I thought would look good on her. I filled up a whole cupboard with her clothes. I was happy to marry her and thought that she was the one that I have been waiting for, for my whole life. When I saw her in the morning, in her beautiful maroon and golden saree that I chose specially for her, I was spellbound. She was stunning in that saree and it complimented her fair skin very beautifully. Our wedding happened with only 100 people and all the time, she stood beside me brushing her shoulders with mine. She was doing indescribable things to me. She was waking up a sleeping monster that was inside of me and that monster craved for her. I just wanted to devour her completely and relish every part of her body. I could not stop my evil mind from thinking about all the dirty stuff on her rather I enjoyed everything it pictured.
Last Updated : 2021-09-22Her Second-Hand Husband 36. The Disappointment & The First Kiss
Anika’s PoVI don't know what made him shut off all of a sudden and retire to sleep. I mean he was all ready to make love to me and suddenly he went off just like a flick of a switch. Though I don't understand, I had no other choice than to comply with his decision of sleeping on our first night.His nearness, his breath, his hands on my waist, his hard chest, that friction we had when we hugged each other, everything triggered something in me which I have not experienced so far in my life. I was waiting for a hot, steamy love making and here he slept all peacefully. I turned to his side and looked at the rhythmic ups and downs of his chest that tells me he is fast asleep. He is an idiot, how can he sleep when I am this close to him? He said he likes me, but is he not attracted to me the way I am attracted to him? I couldn't sleep, not even close my eyes.

Arjun’s PoVShe looked lovely in the lehenga I custom made for her. I couldn't hold myself back from touching her but did it anyway as the hall was full of people. As soon as we got in the car, I intertwined my fingers with hers and started driving towards Coonoor. Her nearness and her beauty was driving me nuts every passing second. She was talking non-stop about Danya and Akshitha and how they were going to be best friends. Of Course yes, Danya and Akshitha are just as talkative as Anika and they make the place lively wherever they are. Rishi and Yadav are cool guys too and since I am an introvert so far, I have had a borderline relationship with everybody and now I guess I have to be friends with them!It was about a two and half hour drive and we stopped twice on the road as she felt nauseous on the winding road.

Her Second-Hand Husband 85. Epilogue
Anika’s PoVIt is my birthday tomorrow! I am waiting for my hubby to wish me happy birthday but it looks like all he is caring about now is to pack for our honeymoon tomorrow. I wonder whether he knows it is my birthday tomorrow or not. We are going to Coonoor tomorrow as I am in the first trimester of pregnancy and air travel is not advisable right now. Arjun talked to his relative Yadav Rishid who owns a resort in Coonoor for blocking a room for us. I remember Yadav Rishid and his wife Akshitha, they came to our home the next day of our wedding to congratulate us. He is now busy talking to his another relative Rishi to whom he has ordered a special outfit for me. He was the one that helped Arjun to choose all the clothes Arjun got for me.“Arjun…” I called him sitting on the bed.
Her Second-Hand Husband 84. Anand!
Anika’s PoVThe house was in pindrop silence and no one was ready yet to take it in. I heard the sniffs of Dhanam Perima but she didn't dare to look Anand in the face. My dad gestured to my mom to go and talk to Dhanam perima. I think they need more time to sink in the information and understand their feelings over it. I am truly glad that Sivaprakasam Perippa stayed quiet instead of talking thick words that would hurt Anand out of overwhelming feelings. His silence is a good sign, he is thinking about it and I agree that this society has made up some rules that are ridiculous and he needs a huge courage to accept the truth against the society.As we parked the car, Anand got down from the other car that came towards us. He was waiting for our arrival. When we went in along with Anand, my mom, dad, Aunt, Priya and Rajesh were already in the house, talking to Peri
Her Second-Hand Husband 83. The Confrontation!
Anika’s PoVAll my anger flew away when I saw her in the hospital bed with the hospital patient uniform. She has lost so much weight and also lost her charm and beauty. Her eyes had dark circles around it. She was leaning back on the bed and was looking at the ceiling when I opened the door. It’s good that Arjun did not accompany me to see her, he cannot digest this sight. As she heard the door, she just moved her eyes to the door and her facial expression changed from nude to anger in just a matter of seconds.“Why are you here?” She asked me as soon as I entered the room.“I am here to see you. Isn’t it obvious?” I asked her back.“I hate to even see you. You made Arjun see me differently. How di
Her Second-Hand Husband 82. Patch-Up!
Anika’s PoVAfter a week,I was in constant touch with Sharanya to know the condition of Preethi. She was still in the hospital until yesterday and nobody tried to talk to her because the doctor adviced against bringing up the reason for her attempted suicide while she was still healing. Preethi chose not to talk to anybody also. Sharanya said that Praveen and his parents are still mad at Arjun but they dare talk about him in front of Preethi. She also said that it was very unlikely for Preethi to not ask about Arjun for a complete week.“They will come around when they know the truth. We are happy to wait and we are really happy that Preethi has recovered completely and is doing well.” I told Sharanya when I spoke to her two days back.
Her Second-Hand Husband 81. The Horror!
Anika’s PoV“Thank you, dad. I never knew you would be the invisible help I would get.” Arjun told his dad. Arjun and I went to uncle’s room to thank him for his timely help.“You are a grown man, Arjun. But you will always be my son no matter how big you get. I only wish for your happiness. I have enough trust in you to lead your life without my intervention but I also have that wisdom to see through you and read your heart. You are my son, dear boy and I can see what you were going through. I initially thought it was Anika’s fault but soon realized that she was in love with you. That is when I extended my support to her. I pointed out her mistakes and made her think out of the situation. I know you would come around as I saw your love towards Anika. I am happy you sorted things on a good note. So what are you going to do abou
Her Second-Hand Husband 80. How Could You Do This To Me?
Preethi’s PoVI was waiting for Arjun in the farmhouse but I felt like something was wrong. I want Arjun and I would do anything to be with him was all I chanted in my mind. It was already 7pm and Arjun didn't get back home. I picked up my phone to call Arjun to know where he is. I saw so many missed calls from Arun and I was alarmed. Why the hell would this scaredy cat call me this many times? I called him back.“Hello, why have you called me so many times?” I asked him as soon as he picked up the call.“You spoiled my career. It’s all because of you.” He said angrily.“What happened?”“Arjun sir came to meet me. He spoke to my boss and n

Arjun’s PoVI tried to finish my office work as soon as possible because I just wanted to go to Anika and be with her. I couldn't shake off her thoughts from my mind. All of me wants to be with her. Just her thoughts gave me boner and I was struggling hard to keep my hormones in check. I kept on checking my phone to see if she had messaged me or called me. Why didn't she just find out that I am the stalker yet? I have given her enough clues for her to find it out.“Here, that man you wanted to know about, he is working in Abrave Solutions. He is at his office right now. This is his address. He is sharing a room with three other guys near old Mahabalipuram.” Praveen came to me with the details of Arun’s whereabouts after our lunch.“Thanks, da. I will take it from here.
Her Second-Hand Husband 78. The Mistake I Made!
Anika’s PoVAfter Arjun left, I spent my time with my mom and dad. We all had lunch together and my mom said how guilty she feels to accept all the help that Arjun is doing to them financially. My aunty told my mom to think of Arjun as their son and not as their son-in-law. It was a wonderful sight to see my aunty wash away my mom’s guilt. I am blessed to have found Arjun and his family. How can all of them be nice and good hearted? I settled my mom and dad in a room after lunch, as they looked tired of a whole night's travel. I went to my aunt’s room to see her knitting projects.“No, dear, you need rest now. I will figure it out myself. Now please, go and have some sleep.” Said she when she saw me trying to undo the wrong stitches.“It’s ok, aunty. I am fine and I do
