Chapter 1: chapter 1

[Scene 1: Rachel from Goa]Goa beach ......... evening time. The sun is slowly setting. The waves of the ocean are flowing towards the shore. A gentle breeze is blowing. A faint scent wafts through the atmosphere. The sound of song music is being heard from far away. The beach is crowded with people. Coconut water drinkers, ice cream makers, cart owners, restaurant owners are all engaged in attracting people. Everyone is enjoying boating, surfing, riding, pera-gliding in the sea.Extremely beautiful and young girl is sitting on the sand of the sea in this pleasant weather. The waves of the wind keep scattering her hair again and again which she has been riding. Sometimes she looks at the setting sun and sometimes she looks at the bouncing waves of the ocean. Suddenly, tears begin to flow from her eyes like pearls.Rachel, who lives in a small village near Kochi and graduated from Mumbai, is married to David, a bar manager in Goa. David is a fair looking blonde, handsome and good looking person but at the same time he is arrogant and haughty. He is such a possessive person that he does not share any of his things with anyone. He also considers his wife as his property.Rachel and David's marriage is 5 years old today but David doesn't remember the marriage anniversary and he doesn't care also. In the beginning, her marriage life was just like every couple's happy marriage life. But as time went on, Rachel later knew of David's addiction to gambling and alcohol. Rachel tried hard to convince David about this, but instead of understood, David would get angry and sometimes even beat up Rachel.Because of David's temperament, his parents also lived apart from him. Yes, but Rachel got along well with her mother-in-law & father-in-law. Rachel sometimes visited them and took care of them also. Rachel's mother-in-law used to explain to Rachel that everything would be fine when the time came. But looking at the path of that good time, 5 whole years had passed today. Now even Rachel had accepted him as her destiny but when the mirror is dim the picture does not look clear, similarly Rachel did not see her future clearly. She keeps trying to find her existence.Rachel is a confident, calm, sensible and passionate girl but David has no regard for her feelings. Rachel wants to live her life with self-respect and self-reliance. Sometimes she felt that she should leave everything and go somewhere far away, where her past could not follow her but she did not have the courage to do so. Her parents' financial condition was also not good so she did not want to hurt her by expressing her grief. She had no way out of this confusion.Suddenly, her cell phone rings and she sees that it is David's phone. She picks up the call. From the front, David asks Rachel to come home in a heavy voice. Rachel understands that David has come home drunk even today, she stood, curses her luck and wipes away the tears to go home.To Be Continued….
