THE GIVER
Her loved ones know she goes overboard lavishing them with gifts and sweet gestures
They accepted it with grace most times with reprimands occasionally
Things turned topsy turvy for her after marriage
She perceived the difference in life before and after the Dude entered with a five carat stone
Her reluctance to claim all of him and his as hers
Money and money management their bone of contention
Her shrinking resources her extreme condition triggered by the money transfer
The roll in Krishna's custody she refused to accept, the response to missing laptop and I pad
The generosity mistaken by the iyer men her money transfer triggering a standoff
His home and her home jibes from her SIL
The refurbishing and purchases using the lakhs she left behind
The unreasonable demands on Akka by those in her bloodline and Balas
The dude's effort to ease the professional demands on Akka
The effort to ensure utmost care of Periappa
The Iyer heart that should warm at such responses and kind gestures
Eyes him with scorn and suspicion
Quick to blame and painfully slow in acknowledging
Sharp mincing of words and stinging tone
Missing logic and reason in imagined slights
The green eyed monster's surfacing head
A confrontation now awaits.
