Torn Before The Dawn

In the depths of the city, Ashi tries to hold the raindrops.

Raindrops fell as pearls.

Mother shouts, * Ashi don't play in the rain.

* Okay mother.

* It will be a holiday today

* No. I don't need a holiday today

* Switch on the TV and listen to the news

News:

As the rain keeps the cloud that will be a holiday in Kanyakumari district for both schools and colleges.

* Ohhh!! Noooo.

* Take your notebook and study.

* I completed the portions taught till yesterday. 

* I need rest. 

* Recall it. 

* Okay Ma.

( Studies for Two hours)

* Mom, can I have my lunch?

* Yes.

(A few Moments Later)

* Can I sleep?

* Yes.

Goes to bed.

Mom to sleep.

Ashi picks up her hidden mobile phone from her secret place. She received a message.

* Our plan was flopped.

* Everything is for good.

* Yeah.

* Have you prepared for the internal test?

* No.

* If you don't clear the arrears, I will never talk.

* I will surely clear it.

* Okay.

At nights...

This happened regularly.

Once her parents and siblings were gone to bed, she kept chatting with him. She doesn't want to love him. But the friendship turned into love.

Ryan comes late to college. He has put on a long face. It made her upset. 

The teacher was on leave. It's a free period. 

So she asked him

* What happened?

No reply.

* Father doesn't understand me. He keeps advising me. Morning when I was ready to have my breakfast, he shouted at me. He says, "You are a useless fellow. I have grown taller than the door. Still, you have no brain."

* Don't be upset.

* If Mother was near to me, this wouldn't have happened. I was his only child.

* Your father might burst out in the office. Maybe that's why he poured his anger at you. Don't cry. Wipe your tears. Are you a kid? Only kids cry.

* I won't cry.

 

* He is suffering from Heart attack. Why can't you try to cool his anger?

* I will try.

* He cooks food for you He cares for you as a mother. Stop blaming him. You might have done something else.

* I didn't wash the utensils.

* Why you didn't wash? 

* I didn't want to wash it. Let him understand me.

* Let you understand him. If he doesn't understand at least you can try to understand him. He works hard. But you aren't understanding him. You are not studying either.

* I used abusive words. I could not tolerate this.

* He is your dad. Try to forgive him.

* No. This time I won't.

* It's your wish.

Ashi left the place.

Still, their love keeps flowing. They keep enjoying the waves of love. 

 June 2018

Both were ready to get married.

Ryan was afraid to inform his father. 

Ashi keeps waiting for him.

One day he replied,

* Let's meet in the dawn.

The venue and date were decided.

Meanwhile, Ashi was working. He was staying away from home.

At Venue.

* Let's break up!! Let's tear our bond into pieces in this dawn. 

* What nonsense are you speaking? Why?

* I am afraid of my father.

*Ryan what are you talking about?

Then why do you propose to me? I didn't accept you. You forced me to love you. Why did you cheat me? What did I do? Do you think I am a fool? I never want to see you again. I hate you. Just before your father, you cheated me. You will surely suffer for this. Future will teach you the lesson for cheating me. This mistake will be a scar in your life. 

In tears, she left the place. 

September 2018

Ryan married Sharmili. Ashi was sad to know this. 

November 2018

Ashi marriage Renold.

Ryan's wife didn't understand him. He couldn't forget Ashi.

Meanwhile, Ashi was happy with her husband. He looked after her as a kid.

Renold supported her. She paved the way to achieve her dreams. She became an author.

Her book comforted the readers. It includes the ways to overcome the failure.

Present

On the wedding day of the classmates, Ryan and Ashi meet again. But Ashi rejected him.

Ryan remembered her last words. He broke into pieces. Ryan was dying with her memories. Those days can't be fixed again.

Ryan was jealous of her. Ryan decided to talk to her.

* Hi, Ashi.

* How are you, Ryan? ( To Husband). This is my college friend.

* Oh!! Welcome, Mr. Ryan.

* Do you know me?

* Yes. She informed me everything about you.

* Well. 

Renold to Ashi * I have to talk with him in person.

* Okay.

* Thank you for neglecting her in the dawn.

If you had not neglected her, I couldn't have had such an awesome lover.

At night

* What is the secret you shared with that stupid?

* Nothing.

* Nothing... I saw you laughing at him. It took nearly 5 minutes. Did you share your relationship with his wife?

* No. I didn't discuss it.

* Then?

* I just thanked him for presenting an amazing gift like you.

Both laughs.

* I know about Sharmili. She won't share her first love with others, especially with her husband. We loved but it was once. I thought she would be mine. But she left in tears on that dawn. I lost my hope. But my parents chose you for me. As I know Sharmili left me because of Ryan, I was upset. Later you shared your love with Ryan. I decided to marry you just because my parents forced me and decided not to have any relationship with you. I guessed you would not accept me if I shared my past with you. But you accepted my love. Actually, your love tamed my heart to accept you. Finally, I was lucky to have you.

* I am the one who is the most luckiest person to share my life with you. Thank you so much for being with me through my troubles and  

(She took the book from the self) All my dreams came true with your love and support.

They opened the book and turned the last page. He began to read it louder.

" He felt her in tears. Amidst the dawn, she felt the sky getting ready to welcome the moonlight. Sudden faith emerged inside. The spider tried to climb the wall. It's legs were injured. The spider never looked at her. He went away. The spider was in tears. She tried hard to move on.

Shravani thought my life too would move on.

She finds someone wiping her tears. He became her spouse.

If you try to love someone who wasn't decided by God, it will break. God alone writes a love story for you. You can't choose your story. If you choose, it can't be published. If he chooses it, surely it becomes a world-classical story.

The End...

Before he closes the book, she sleeps by holding his arms. She sleeps peacefully as her prince always lies on her side.
