Part Three
Shameless Person
Around middle of the night Gopi get's up (shock) rubs her forehead. Tries sleeping again, but she couldn't and decide to get up at four in the morning. Stood in front of the window feeling cold air brush her face. Giving her fresh air and strength to hide her inner feeling in front of her Maaji who keeps on asking when Ahem beta would return.
(Gopi's monologue)
I just don't know when he'll return, but slightly happy without him being around or else he could also shout at him for silly things. For example why I am making changes inside the room. I agree its his room, but after marriage whatever belongs to her husband is her's too. In second thought can I claim those things when he himself hasn't given me those rights.. Why can't I just stop thinking about him and his world. I think I need a shower than morning jog would help. Wait a minute! When did I never go on jogs that I thought of it. I think the idea of him returning back is stressing me out.
(end of her monologue)
She stomp her foot before entering inside the bathroom.
(Ahem's monologue)
Why does the entire house is decorated? Did they figure out that I am coming back today? Its only four in the morning. (Ahem looked confuse by the decoration) I kept on walking toward my room. God.. its her aroma filled entire room. Where is she? If I don't find her in within a second I am going to snap on her the minute her face pops in front of me."
(end of Ahem's monologue)
Gopi humming a tune (O Kanha Ab To Murli Ki Madhur Suna Do Taan) she came out of the washroom dressed in her underskirt and blouse. She is unaware of Ahemji's arrival (and kept on doing her daily routine after he left) she applied lotion on her skin three times for smooth result than drape herself in pink sari. She place her manglustra around her neck than smile set of earrings and matching chooriya in her each wrist. She is almost about to fill her forehead with sindoor (when someone held her hand from behind) she got scared (and look upward to find her husband standing their with anger reflecting in his eyes).
(Ahem's monologue)
Doesn't she have any shame or self respect that she could walk around the room like this! Very disgusting! That she ingored by preference and continue doing her things. I have to teach her a lesson not to ignore me in my preference or my absent.
(end of Ahem's monologue)
His own feet took him toward his wife who was about to fill her forehead with his sindoor that belongs to his name.
Her eyes wide up in shock...
I smiled at her...
She looked at me with confusion...
She asked me "when did you arrive? I didn't see you come inside?"
I change my smile "when you were giving me free show of your body expose? Don't you have any shame? This isn't your house or your room where you can walk around without any clothing." I push her arm away and the sindoor she held few away.
She looked upset.. but I don't give a heck... why should I? Its just a sindoor? What a big deal if it fallows on the ground as if I am gonna get into some kind of trouble because I make my destiny not god itself.
I left into the washroom... but before stepping inside I saw her trying to pick up the tiny sindoor from the ground and filled her forehead with that same sindoor.
I just bang shut the door in frustration. What a great start of my morning with unwanted person in my life?
