Short Story - Fiction in 3 Parts

Part I Making a decision

Aaru was deeply hurt. She had not expected Mukhi to shout at her in front of the guests. Something they used to talk only within the four walls was suddenly out and known to all. She could see the smile and mocking expression people had on their faces.

He was so angry during the cake cutting ceremony when Aaru questioned him about his closeness with Sanvi.

Mukhi Patni bananey ki koshish mat kar. Mehmaan hai yaah per to mehmaan ki tarah hi rah. Saanvi meri bachpan ki dost hai aur tujhse kitni bari hai. Tu 2 mahine pehle yaha aaii hai.

Her eyes were filled and face became red. She felt as if the women were trying to hide their smile.. she looked around and instantly managed it by apologizing to Saanvi and Mukhi.

Saanvi di Maaf Kariye Mujhse Galti ho gayee

Mukhi Ji I am sorry ... Mujhse Galti ho gayee

She wore a fake smile and started distributing sweets to people. In between she quickly went to her room and remove the Jewelry and changed to her usual Jeans ad Kurta and came down quickly.

Rami asked Arrey kya hua? Itna Saji thee tu to. Aur who raaje kya keh rahaa .. Patni bannane ki koshish .. mujhe to samajh me nahee aaya

Aaru Smiled and said Bus.. Janmadin khatam... Sajawat bhi Khatam and she starting talking to the guests

Mukhi also saw her changing so quickly and was surprised and he knew that it was wrong to shout at her. He wanted to thank her for her efforts but that anger had taken over his al soft emotions.

It was late and Aaru wanted to cleanup all mess and then go to sleep. It was night when she wanted to make some decisions.

Mukhi had already slept when she entered the room.

==============================

Morning she woke up early and went to Rami before going to the factory.

Aaru Rami Ben aapki thodi madad chahiye.

Rami haaan bol..

Aaru finished all her work in factory in 2 hours and came back home. Mukhi had gone to the Panchayat and she was relieved. Her heart was full and head was about to blast .. she had not slept whole night after yesterday's incident. She had totally blamed herself for her behavior.

Aaru - Aaru, Ky asochkar tune who sab kaha tha? Bhul gayee kya kaise halat me tu yahaa aayee aur kaise teri shadi hui? Do din me khud ko malkin samajh baithee kya? Mukhi ji ke acchey bartav ka tune galat matlab nikal liya kya?
