I love another woman
"Just say no to your parents.
Tell them you don't like me" He
said very casually, like it meant
nothing to him.
"And why can't you do that?
Why can't you tell that to your
parents?" She said calmly, when in reality she was burning inside.
"I would have, if I could" He spat
bitterly, narrowing his eyes at her.
"Why are you doing this Karthik?"
She said, crossing her arms over
her chest.She really wanted to know why he is making her the victim here; why can't he just tell that himself. And if he really didn't want to marry, why the hell did he come here?
He looked taken back with the
way she called his name, like he
was shocked she knew his name
making her realize he didn't know
hers.Of course he doesn't know my name, she thought bitterly. She was disappointed yet again but she can't blame him for this,
since she didn't bother asking her
parents about hinm too.
"I don't think that's a matter of
your concern Ms?" he looked
at her, raising an eyebrow as if
asking her name.
"Sindhu" she said not taking her
eyes off him.
"Sindhu" he said as if trying her
name on his tongue and added in
a firm tone "Just do what you are
asked to"
And why should I, she thought of
asking instead replied "I want to
know the reason"
Running his fingers through his
hair, he narrowed his eyes at her,
looking very angry. After a few
seconds of silence, he finally said
"I love another woman"
How can she forget her? They
seemed so in love with each
other, the last time she saw them
together.
"Then why don't you marry her?"
she said coldly, not meeting his
eyes and feeling irritated to go
through this.
He was silent for long but she
knew he was glaring at her. She
could feel the tension around
them until she finally heard him
sigh "She was already married"
"Oh" was all she could utter finally.
Not giving her a chance to ask him anything more, he quietly walked into the house just before ordering "Say NO"
Her inner arguments started
about what to say to their families
awaiting inside. Her mind and
heart differing their thoughts
making her want to go back to her room and curl up in a ball or fall in an endless sleep.
She might not know him
personally, but she knew he is a
good man. Or probably was. But
what was eating her more is what to tell their families. She can't say he is not good looking because he is. In fact he is very attractive. She can't even say he doesn't have a good job because he sure as did have one and she knew his family is amazing. She can't give a reason about vast age gap because there isn't much. She is 22 years old and he must be 26 or 27.
They do't know each other
long enough to cook up a false
story about him making her feel
infuriated at him for thrusting this
upon her.
"Ugghh... What should I say now? Yes or No? God!!! I hate him for putting me on spot. I thought he was good but why is he behaving like a stupid, arrogant prick" She didn't know she was voicing her thoughts aloud until she heard a reply
"He is a good man. Trust me"
