Swastik was standing there shocked. He still can't belive that it happen. He remembered his own past actions.He left the place immediately and drove towards His home. He was driving rashly when his car hit with another car and he lost his consciousness.*****Manyata came inside the hostel and wiped her tears. She enter her room saw her friends were laughing on something. They were excited when they saw her but their excitement died when they saw her crying face."hey Manyata what happened?

The day is like any other day a 9 years old girl is sleeping soundly on the ground on a thin mattress.Yes on ground because her parents can't afford a bed.They all stay in one big room with no separate rooms.They had a small kitchen in the room and a common washroom that is used by all tenants of the big house.The girl may be poor economically but her heart is big. She is rich by her beauty.A beauty that can make any boy fall for her at this age only.But sometimes beauty can become a curse as well."Asmu uthe por ma, sokal hoye geche,(Asmu wake up ma, it's morning)" The little girls mother called her"ma ar 5 minutes, (ma 5 minutes more) " The little girl pleaded like every morningHer mother chuckled at her daughter's antics."Asmu if you won't wake up then how will i take you to my work place?

Asmita asked"we will stay in a big mansion. We got rich Asmu and I won a lottery. Now we won't have any financial issues. You can study in private school. Wear good dresses. Get whatever you want." her mother said and the little kid was looking at her mother in shock"really ma?" she asked"Yes Asmu really we won't have any pain or any other problem. We won't have to worry about money or anything. You will get the life you deserve my girl. The life I failed to give you." her mother said
It's the wedding night of Akshar and Asmita.Asmita waits for her husband but inside her heart she has a fear. Fear of losing Akshar as well.Fear is the biggest enemy of our own selves. It can break us to the extent that we won't be able to survive.But she has tried to win her fear by chanting inside her head that Akshar will be fine and nothing will happen to him.Soon Akshar came into the room and looked at his wife."Why didn't you sleep? You should be tired by now," he said looking at the the clock"I was waiting for you," Asmita replied in a little tensed voiceShe knows that as her husband he has some expectations and rights over her.And she has to tell him that she lied about her being a non virgin as well.Where the truth is that even her lips are virgin. Ka
Asmita was feeling a little guilty for blaming Akshar without his fault in the first place.But she can't be blamed as well because that time her brain wasn't working correctly.And She least expected him there and the savior of her FILIt's been one week since the accident took place."Asmi, why didn't you sleep?" her Mil asked her"Nothing ma I'm not feeling like sleeping. I'm actually missing my parents." Asmita saidIt was true that she is missing them as well."then why don't you meet them for once? You haven't met them after…. Anyways you should go tomorrow and meet them," Her Mil said"but baba?" she asked"I will take care of him you don't worry about him," Her Mil said and Asmita noddedNext morning she went to meet her parents.He

Asmita said absent mindedly"and why so? Because of an incident you will stop living your life? Those guys got what they deserve and you don't have to worry about anything. Now everyone knows you are our daughter in law no one will dare to mess with you." Her mother in law said"but ma," "no but you will join college from Monday again. You have to be something Asmita. Remember you have to make Kabir proud?"
Asmita is living her life like a thief.She doesn't want attention or light on her.She stays away from crowds and dresses up as simply as she can.It's been 3 months since she joined college. She doesn't talk much with people and even if she do then to only give sassy replies to shut them offShe is scared that again someone will fall for her beauty and then again the same cycle will repeat.She doesn't want any repeat telecast because not everyone will be like kabir.But she doesn't know why she feels like someone is watching her.It's a Feeling she has been feeling from the 2nd day of her college.But she shrugged it off. In college almost everyone knows that she is a widow.This kind of thing spreads faster than fire as well.Many people including few teachers also criticise her for getting married at such a you
"Asmita eat something please" Her sister in law said for 100th time"I am not hungry didibhai," Asmita replied the same"You haven't eaten anything for 2 days, how can you not be hungry?" Her sister in law asked"I eat my husband didibhai, what more I can eat." Asmita said"Asmita please don't talk rubbish. It was an accident. We all are shocked and broken but that doesn't mean we will stop living our life. Dada always wanted us to be happy" Her sister in law said"and I snatched everyone's happiness. If I wasn't in his life then he would have been alive." Asmita said"Asmita for god sake don't blame yourself. It is not your fault. Death is certain Asmita will come one day or other but Dada left us earlier then he should but we can't forget to live our life right?" her sister in law tried to make her understand"Didibhai I will eat but please leave me alone." Asmita
Don't kill me please after reading it and its a short story so I will show time skipAsmita went to her room and cried her heart out.She could not believe that her parents did it with her.She didn't ask anything from them because she knew their status.Suddenly her phone rang and she saw an unknown number."who must be calling me at this time?" she thoughtWhen she was about to receive it the call was cut.From the same number a message came."it's me kabir please receive the call,"The message was enough for her to freak out.Again kabir called her and this time she received it."hello," She said in her shaking voice"Asmita are you crying?" he asked her concern is evident in his voice"does anyone care about me or my choice? I
Asmita looked at them with wide open eyes.But then she suddenly started to laugh like a maniac."oh my goodness that's the best ever joke I heard. But today isn't 1st April so why making a fool of me?" Asmita asked while controlling her laugh"He isn't joking Asmu," Her mother said"it has to be a joke ma, because honestly suddenly a person come whom I don't know and claim that he knows me and we are soon getting married it's a sick joke nothing else." Asmita said in a serious tone"I told you to tell her beforehand but you didn't listen to me, now see what's her reaction." Kabir said"Mr. I think you has a fiance right? You were arguing that day for this very same saree because you wanted to buy it for her. Then why are you joking with me that too on my birthday?" Asmita asked him directlyKabir only smiled seeing that his choice is perfect from every side.
