Episode 9

Punguzhali Pov:

"Have the food properly, Shivani." I heard my mom in law, while am entering into the hall.

"Good evening punguzhali." Mom in law said.

"Good evening" I says to her.

With that I tried to walk, but she stopped me.

"Punguzhali, can I get 5 mins of your time?" she asked me.

I nods at her.

'What might she will ask?' I thought to myself. But without any answer I followed her.

"What is it aunty?" I asked her.

"I know my son still didn't accepted you." she says.

'Well it's on both sides.' I thought but I can't says this to her. Because I married to her son.

"Just give him sometime punguzhali. Understand him. It's just that he loved his late wife a way too much. He is still loving her. I know this might hurt you, but please try to bring him out of his shell. He stopped being happy instead he started to immerse in work. I hope you will bring him back. "she says.

'Me, very funny.' I thought to myself but regardless i just nods at her.

" Do join on dinner. We couldn't able to have dinner with you. Let's have it today. " she said.

I nods at her.

" Yeah we can. "i says to her.

With that i left the room and walked into my room.

I sighed.

" Are they kidding me, how could I make him fall for me. Like literally that man is still in so love towards his late wife. Besides I don't have any interest on him. Even if I have any, am nothing but just a woman in name that's it. Funny people." I murmurs.

After that I freshen up and started to read the book.

Time skipped:

I opened my eyes, only to come face to face with a man.

'Mmm not bad, he does look bit old. But looking good though from his side view' I thought to myself

How come I could able to see his facial features so clear.

His mouth was little open.

' What if some mosquitoe or bee enter into his mouh?' I thought only to chuckle.

I turned by facing towards him.

' Okay who is he in first place? 'I asked myself.

' Mm nice dream though '

"Aghh" I sounds slowly, as I felt something is poking on my chest. I tried to grab it only see a nuptial chain.

What?

' Even in dream am i married... 'I stopped my thoughts.

Wait. I did felt the pain.

It means it means... Its not a dream. I looked at the face only to see it properly.

Its him.

I looked slowly down, to see that his hand is on my waist.

"Shit" I shouts as I sits on the bed.

Its not a dream.

"What what happened?" he to sits on the bed with a tired face.

I glared at him.

"You, I thought you are some good person. But no you are not"

He sleepily looked at me.

"What happened now?" he asks me while lieing again on the bed.

I just pinched him.

"Arghhh" he shouts and sits up on the bed.

"What happen... Shit... Did I really slept beside you?"

"Hello mister yes you did slept beside me only, sleeping next to me fine. But hugging me is not" I gritted out.

He shockedly at me.

"I wouldn't did that" he argued back..

"Well you did."

He looked for sometime.

"Sorry I was very tired, I reached home by 3 am in the morning. I just collapsed on bed as soon as I entered into the room. I totally that forget am married again. "

"I.. I.. Am sorry" he asks me.

I nods at him.

I just get down from the bed and entered into the washroom.

Thiraviam pov:

'Fuck you thiraviam.'i shouts at myself.

Did you forget that you are married again?. And you are having a wife and you both are sharing the same room.

I sighed.

I just again lied on the bed as soon as she entered into the washroom.

"Here your coffee" I heard her voice.

I looked up.

'This was not happened earlier.'  I thought.

"May I know, what happened you are serving me the coffee." I asked her.

"Well a coffee can help your headache. Have it." she says while sitting on the bed.

"Thank you."

"Mmmm" she hummed and then started to fold the clothes.

I started to work.

"If You are not feeling well, you should take some rest." she said.

"Yes I want to, but there is a lot of work I need to handle." I says.

Three months later:

Punguzhali pov:

I got readied in pattu saree upon my mom insist.

*Door knocking sound*

"Coming" I says before opening the door only to see mumma.

"Punguzhali" mumma says while hugging me.

"You look beautiful ammu." she says while kissing my forehead.

"You look very different ammu, with this vermilion, thaali."

"Mumma stop, this is what you have been telling me for the past 6 months. Am tired of it. " I rolled my eyes.

"Everyone arrived dear, come" mumma called me.

Today is a small function for my sister who is going to enter into 5th month on her pregnancy in my in laws home.

"Mumma I think I shouldn't appear there. " I says in a straight face.

"Stop speaking like this ammu." she says to me.

"She is your own sister. Who is gong to say anything dear."

"Come dear"

I nods at her with a sigh.

But I feel something wrong going to happen.

As soon as I reached the hall, there stood each and every relative of mine.

"How are you punguzhali?" one of my relative asked me.

"Yeah fine aunty." I says and walked away.

"How wouldn't she, she would be very happy. Even with her unfortunate, she able to find a good match and who is wealthy too. That too both sisters are married to the same family members. Lucky right" I heard one aunty talks about me.

Nice.

"That's right, even with everything my daughter couldn't able to get married. But look at her" I heard another aunty.

I sighed.

What did I do?

"I think we should start the function it's going to be 4 clock." mumma says.

With that everyone strtard to apply the turmeric paste on my sister cheek who is glowing. Her bump is evident.

Am very happy.

'But she is not for seeing you punguzhali.' I thought to myself.

"Punguzhali" my mom in law called me.

"Yes aunty" I says.

"Come and apply dear" she says

I looked at mom, she smiled and aksed me to go ahead.

I slowly walked towards my sister and took a ample amount of paste and gone to apply on he face.

"Punguzhali stop" I heard a voice. I looked back only to see my dad's sister.

Nice.

"You shouldn't apply the paste"

"It's fine, she can apply. There is nothing wrong on it. It's just that she is not pregnant yet. My son and my daughter in law needs some time." my mom in law says.

'What?' I confusedly looked at her.

"Even if you give her sometime, She can never bear your son's child ever." she said.

"Sundari anni, will you stop?" mumma shouts at her.

"I just don't wanted any bad things to happen to your second daughter child anni that's why I said." she says.

"Just stop with your nonsense talks. It's 21st..."

"What do you meant by she can't bear a child?" Mom in law aksed.

I looked at her.

She looked shocked.

"What is it punguzhali?" She asked me again.

She knows it right. I kept confused looking at her.

"Samathi amma, what Happened. We all infor..."my mumna started only to be cut off by my relative.

" She is a barren woman. Who is nothing but a disgrace to my brother family. She don't have a uterus, she can't bear a child ever. " my dad's sister said.

" What? " this time my dad in law shouts.

" What is it punguzhali is it true?" Mom in law asked me.

I confusedly nods at her

" Yes aunty, my family already informed you before the marriage... "

" No one informed us"

"Mumma what is it?" I asked her.

"We informed everything."

"Broker daof that he said everything about my daughter condition."

"No all he informed is, once your daughter marriage was stopped that's it." Mom in law says. I looked at her.

"Due to that your daughter not able to get married again. That's why you are okay to marry off your daughter for second marriage." she adds on.

"But how could you guys do this to my son?" she again asked us.

"Shivani appa, speak something." mumma started to ask dad. I looked at him.

"Call that broker and ask him"

"Not only that, even she can't satisfy your son ever. Due to..."

"Will you stop sundari anni?" mumma shouts.

"What you guys did to my son life?" aunty started to shout at me.

"Now I understood why everyone denied to get married to your daughter. Because she is nothing but a barren woman. Shit. What did I done to my son life?" she started to shout.

"Why you guys didnt informed us?" aunty started to shout at mumma.

"Samanthi amma, please we can discuss this later. First let's ask everyone to retire to their home." mumma started to say.

"How could you ruin my son's life?" she asked us.

"We informed actually, I think that broker played in between." mumma says.

"Smaanthi amma, look this is not an incurable problem. With the grown science, we can do a transplant of uterus and we can really....."

"Look at both of their age, your daughter in law is going to be 31 and your son will be soon 39. At this late time, even the normal pregnancy is risk. Here you guys were thinking of transplant and then bearing a child is difficult." one aunty commented.

"Shivani amma, thats how you guys married off your elder daughter ahh?" one relative asked us.

'Don't cry punguzhali' I thought to myself.

'This is all expected right. Whenever you attend any function you will facing these kind of problems right. Luckily in marriage you didn't had any problem, since you guys invited a limited amount of guests.' I tried to convince myself.

"Speak something punguzhali" aunty asked me.

"Are you really a barren woman?" she asked me.

I nods at her.

"Why why, you guys ruined my son's life?"

"How could you guys did to this my son?. Why why?" aunty shouts

"Shivani appa call that broker. " mumma asks dad.

"He did what I asked him to" dad says.

I looked at him.

"What do you meant by that?" I asked dad this time.

"Why Shivani appa, even you said that you informed our samanthi family?"mom intervened and asked dad.

"I just want to marry off to her to someone. She is nothing but a disgrace, I tried to marry her off. And at the same time, her sister is loved this family second son. If I opened up this at that time means even they wouldn't accepted your sister. So I thought this would be the best thing to do at that time... "

"What you are saying Shivani appa?" mumma shouted this time.

"Stop your bullshit acts." aunty(mom in law) said this time

"Shivani" aunty shouts.

"Hereafter you are not going to speak with any of your family." she strictly said to her.

"And you" she turned to my side.

"I will be sending you the divirce papers. Just sign on it." she said to me.

I looked at my so called dad.

"Everyone now get out of my house" aunty shouted.

"Samathi amman please hear me once. I don't know anything, even my daughter don't know anything. She is a very good girl. With grown medical we can do the operation and my daughte..." my mumma started.

I kept looking at them.

I don't know when my tears were started to roll. But I couldn't able to bear it the pain. The pain of been unwanted by everyone.

"No, my decision is final here." she hsiuted.

"You guys just manipulated us and married off your disgraced, unfortunate daughter to my son. His life was already doomed. I won't allow her to be my son's wife ever atleast hereafter. How many flaws your daughter is hvaing. She is not having a uterus, and she can't satisfy a man needs. Is she woman?. Just on name she is a woman but noting else right " she shouts.

I looked away.

" Right this instant, you are going to get out of the house. "she shouted at me.

" No no samanthi amma, please please I never knew that you guys don't know about it. "

"Get out of my house" she shouts at me.

I nods at her.

I know this is what will happen that's the reason I has been asking them for multiple times before marriage whether they informed them or not.

I looked at my dad. He is just looking at Shivani.

Not even once his eyes had any concern on my life.

He never loved me ever.

"Mumma please don't cry" I asks her

"Punguzhali what are you saying"

"Everyone leave now" sh ehsouts.

"With that I just waked into his room to get my belongings.

After taking every things I wllaed down.

Atleast past 5 months, it was little good where no one spoked about my condition to me ever.

" Mumma come pleas.... Please"i asks her.

"Punguzhali, what are you doing. No ammu, wait.... Please samanthi amma there is no mistakes of her. Please. Don't do this to her. Please please, what she will do... Please don't do this. We are sorry for whatever happened. Please. " mumma trued.

"Mumma please stop. Please mumma" I hugs her and cried in her embrace.

"Please mumma. Come" I called her.

"Please samanthi amma." mumma started.

"You guys are nothing but just marrued off your unfortunate daughter to my son. How could you guys behave like this?. Did you ever thought about my son's life?" his mom started.

I looked at my dad. Who just kept standing and looking at Shivani. That's it.

"We are sorry for whatever happened aunty. We will be going." I says to her.

With that I turned to walk.

"Just don't forget to sign the divorcee papers. I will be sending soon."

My heart tightened.

This is what I have been dreading for.

My throat felt tightened. The words are not coming 9ut of my mouth.

'You both aren't fond of each other punguzhali. Besides you are just wasting his life.' my mind said.

"Y..yeah...i. Will. Si. Sign the paper." I said to her somehow.

"What paper?" came a loud voice.

I know it's him.
