The curtains made of fine linen were flowing gently with serene current of air and she sat looking outside the French windows thinking of what happened last night. Her eyes were moist and she looked crumpled and forlorn.
“Please give me one more chance, I plead & beg of you”, Arunima fell at his feet weeping inconsolably. Shailesh conveniently shrugged her off and mercilessly said “I don’t care but it’s all over now”. “Shailesh, but I love you, and I am being sorry about the whole thing” and “No” came the answer. “Have you ever thought what would happen to me later, what if I do something to myself? Arunima whimpered. “Huh! What else can be expected, you would leave me with more troubles” said Shailesh. “I would do everything you want me to; I would become the way you want me to…please don’t leave me Shailesh….please… Arunima appealed and fell on her knees. “I can’t start over all this just out of forced guilt you moron. Just get off” and Shailesh walked out…
“Oh, I must persuade again, after all I love him and want him…relationships are not meant to be lost but worked upon, She pondered over this and suddenly wiping her tears got up. Shailesh seemed to be impassive. By then he was already watching TV in the living room. She was just getting restless…but that went unnoticed. She went and sat next to Shailesh quietly; thinking when he would turn and say something. His phone beeped… he answered politely “Would call you back a little later”, Arunima asked “who was that at this hour?” Shailesh replied indifferently, “A very close friend of mine, does it matter?” Her heart pinched to the core on hearing this. “Shailesh, I need to make a call can you pass on your phone?” said Arunima. She acquired the hand phone and rummaged through the messages sent by his new so called “close friend”…and was appalled to learn the developments. Shailesh yelled, “How dare you, you liar, you &*#$^% bitch…Arunima stared expressionlessly and then rose; slapped him and walked into her room.

I am glad that at the end Arunima decides to walk away. It takes courage to walk out of toxic relationships.

Dew,
I must say you have a good knack in story telling! 🙂
Dew said:
Hey Badhri, thanks so much :)…
Maya said:
Sounds exaggerated. Good knack of story telling…indeed!
Dew said:
Welcome to real world Maya 🙂
Maya said:
Well, that is “your” real world..Dew! Happiness is a matter of choice…and every sentient being its own share of good and bad…looks like you’ve just got stuck to the “not-so happy” part. 🙂
Dew said:
Let me correct you Maya ..that’s not “my” real world. 🙂 That’s the world which is infested with such characters. Unfortunately, I know for some people it gets exaggerated when such reaiities hit hard…but eventually who are we to judge after all…isn’t? Also, You are right, happiness is a matter of choice ONY till then when your life is not overshadowed by evil characters like Shailesh.
Anyways it’s just a fiction with snippets of fact and not the entire truth itself. Beyond this I feel I do not need to justify the characters here 🙂
Thanks once again to come back and post your comment. I truly appreciate that” 🙂
Cheers!

Hey Dew,
You need not justify what your character have gone through. There is a thin line between fact and fiction. It’s true that fact does provide inspiration but for most of the people fiction appears to be the autobiography of the author!! Blame it on their lack of education and just move ahead…
On second thoughts, why don’t you just block such comments that try to move into your personal space??
Dew said:
Yes dear probably you are right…perhaps it’s lack of knowledge…! Next time such interventions should be filtered 🙂
Hugggggggggggggggs
