Hey guys!It's Hinal, and I'm back with a part 3 of this story.
Now, it's a short one. I'm testing the waters with this one to be completely honest with you all.
I have penned it out with how I see the situation, and I realize that there's a chance many of you, or most or even all, might disagree with me.
A little hesitant to post this, but I want your thoughts on it.
Let me know what you think. Whether you agree/disagree with it.
And then I shall see what to do next :P
So here it goes:
OH. Please do like the very first post if you want PMs for the next update(s) that will follow. Thanks :)
Amaranthine Hope Part 3
"It's a harsh world for women out there Nachiket, you have no idea. You have absolutely no idea how many difficulties I had to endure for being a single mother. I didn't want to depend on anyone and that's why I didn't marry again. I wanted to prove that a woman doesn't need a man in her life. And then you came along, telling me that no one could live with me?"
I didn't even hear the latter part of what she had said as her earlier words rang in my head repeatedly. I took a moment for myself, and finally spoke out. "So you think it was easy for me? You think it was easy to walk away from my children and the one woman I had ever loved?"
I was angry before. But now... Now, I was also disappointed. Is that what she thought of me?
"And by the way, if we are going to be recalling the past to justify our actions, then don't you forget how many times you've doubted AND accused me of cheating!"
"I had my reasons Nachiket. And you know that VERY well!"
Our voices were loudening as we began talking about the very thing that broke us apart in the first place.
"Well then I too, like you, had my reasons."
I was about to walk off, but then came back to tell her what I was really thinking.
"You know what Ragini, the world does not revolve around you. You had a chance to tell me the truth, but you chose to lie to feed your ego. But now, just because you are unhappy with what your lie resulted to doesn't mean I will listen to you."
She moved towards me, but I stepped back. If she was stubborn, then I wasn't any less either.
"It's too late Ragini. Once again, your ego came between us."
I walked away from her, with a heavy heart. I hadn't expected things to go this awry. A thunderstorm of emotions clouded my mind in that moment.
Things seemed blurry at first, and then did I realize that I was crying. I furiously wiped away the tears that were threatening to spill, and stormed off to my room. Throwing my suitcases on the bed, I began packing my belongings, not having it in me to stay back even a minute longer now.
I felt someone behind me as I folded my shirts. As angry as I was, I still hoped it was Ragini and that she was here to stop me. To apologize, and to request. To give me a reason to stay back. A small smile almost dared to escape, only to be turned into an even deeper frown of contempt. It was a futile hope; since when did things happen the way I want to when it comes to Ragini anyway?
I pushed Nivedita's hand off my shoulder.
"I'm leaving tonight," I said to her, leaving her alone as I went to freshen up for the journey ahead.
