One year leap....

Sun setting on to the West. 

A fan rotating slowly..

A person sitting on the wooden chair, taking a look into the file talking over the landline..

Her hair is neatly braided into bun.. Her cotton sari gave her special decent look in her attire that apt to her workplace..
Her ear rings dancing while she is listening to someone over the phone.. She kept her loose strands behind her ear while the pen is still resting between her forefinger and middle finger ..

Ok thankyou.. The report is ready sir.. She said ending the call..

Madam! "Vehicle is ready.."

Hearing to the peon, she turned around and finished the last signatures of the pending file waiting for the submission..
These files are to be sent to the committee very next day.. Make sure it reaches on time!

Yes madam.. He replied.. And walked out..

Thankyou.. She said politely and got up from her seat taking her handbag and her mobile started ringing..

She glanced at the Android phone gifted by her husband.. And saw a name on the display..

She lifted up without waiting and said, hello!

Don't you think you're so smart? It's not even months you came to this seat and started giving complaints on people who's having political background?

Do you think I'm sparing you?
Think about your family..
Your Mom and Dad residing alone..
And you're staying with your husband and one old woman in your house..

Don't you want their safety?

Don't be rude.. You're a woman.. You have emotions... So think about your family before doing anything.. And drop the report you have prepared with too much dedication.. I'm telling for your good only.. A sweet warning from our side..
Goodbye.

That old woman residing with us is my in-law..
For your information.. As you well know about my family.. I'm thankful that you took this much time for sparing to know about them..

If you want to know I would have told you.. Anyways thanks for your concern about my family.. I'll take care of them..

Take care of yourself right now! Cuz you can't escape.. People aren't blind to know the deeds you're doing.. "Earth is round" you know?

You have to reach the same place where you have started..
See you soon.. In court...
Goodbye..

After ending the call.. She closed her eyes to stop the tears that were already formed in her eyes.. She controlled herself and stood firm looking at the table and her name plate..

Mrs. Sisira sravan..
Deputy officer (tax dept.) Junior cadre..

I accepted this job for you.. And only you.. She said looking at her phone..

I'm pretending to be strong.. But I'm not.. My breath stops the day I hear anything odd.. I can't live without you.. She let go few tears which trolled down to her cheeks..

Sisira smiled looking at their pic in screen saver..
You're the reason for my braveness.. You're my strength..
She smiled and kept the phone back in the little pocket of her handbag and turned around walking towards the door end..

She got into the govt vehicle and reached to her home..

She got a government quarter but she denied... Glancing at the roads and the seashore.. She remembered the days she used to be happy. Those memories really stayed as memories per now.. She turned her gaze from window looking into her lap fondling her fingers..

Days started moving fast.. Since she decided to crack a job.

Sravan bought a flat on loan long back. They shifted to that home..

Everything changed... But why it changed? Where am I wrong? She kept on thinking.

"Madam!"

Hearing that, she glanced around to find that she reached her place.. She forced a smile to the driver and got down thanking him.. And walked inside the gate..

Reaching towards the corridor the people smiled wishing her..
To which sisira to reacted in the same way..

On reaching the second floor.. She walked towards the steps instead of taking lift..
As she buzzed the door bell.. Waiting for her in-law to open the door..

Good evening maa.. Sisira said as soon as she opened the door..

Anasuya smiled and gave her space to get inside.. I'll be back in a min saying that she reached her room..

After going to her bedroom.. A beautiful frame with their laughing smiles welcomed her..

Wish this smile is there forever..

She kept her handbag aside in specific place and went to wash her face..

After coming back she took her clothes and went to freshen up..

As soon as she came back rotating her hair upward into bun and clip it with clutch..

She walked inside the kitchen to find her in-law busy in taking the veggies..

Maa pls.. I'll take care of these.. You pls go.. She said pushing her out from kitchen..

You just came now! Why don't you take rest? Her mil added.

I'll finish it soon.. Maa don't worry she said walking back to kitchen..

After preparing the meal, she simmered the flame to let the gravy to thicken..

Hearing the door bell, she smiled knowing who it was! And she walked out to open the door but her in-law already did it..

Sisira glanced at sravan with smile..

But sravan had no expression on his face.. He just looked at her and turned to his mom and smiled..

Had your medicine? He asked his mom..

To which anasuya nodded with smile..

Sisira walked behind him as he went towards their room..

Sravan started searching for his towel in the cupboard..

Sravan! Here it is.. Sisira offered him towel forwarding her hand.. Sravan looked at her and took it walking towards the washroom..

Sisira turned off the stove and got back to their room. She stayed till he, arrives back..

Hearing the knob sound, she turned to find her husband came out with towel around his waist..

Sravan!

She tried to speak walking towards him.. But he walked towards the wardrobe and took his tee shirt and track phant..

Sisira stood there itself to wait until he dress up.. But he just avoided her and wore his tee shirt first and added phant Buttoning up and removed the towel changed his clothes..

After seeing him finished his work.. She called him once again..

Sravan stopped looking at her..

"What?" he snarled..

My mamu wedding date is coming ahead.. "Do you remember?"

I have a lot of works that I don't remember anything now.. He said taking few steps..

But -!? 

He paused again hearing her but..

Anything else? He snorted..

I'm taking leave for few days to attend wedding.. She said..

Ok your family wedding and you attend.. Why to tell that to me?

Sravan? Isn't my family yours?

Sravan walked out without answering to her..

What did I do sravan? Why aren't you talking to me like before? She mumble with tears.. My family isn't yours?

Hearing her in-law calling , sisira walked out wiping her tears..
Anasuya started serving him food.. While she took her seat and smiled at her mil as if nothing happened..
Her mil served her plate too. M

After having their dinner together..

Sisira went to finish her kitchen work..
Anasuya left to her room..

Sisira walked back to her room.. To find him laying on bed..

She sat on bed and layed back beside him.. Sisira turned to his side but she found him turning to other side showing his back..

Sisira is not more less than to cry.. But she didn't stop herself from holding him.. She wrapped her hand around him and fisted his tee in pain..

Sravan understand she's crying.. But he did nothing.. He just removed her hold around him and distanced himself from her..

Did I do something wrong? She asked sitting up..

Sravan slept in silence.. Giving her silent treatment for the mistake she never committed..

She fisted her hair in frustration..
Crying...

To be contd....
