Sixth day..(Thriketta.. )
As usual morning session started with pookalam using six different colours of flowers.
In the afternoon we went to see the snake boat race, it's a tradition to conduct it during Onam.
In the evening we spent time in the playground,Swinging, playing hide and seek. We all went to paddy field,Lin and Fuzhi also joined us. While walking Lin held my hand in front of my cousins.
I tried to shove off his hold but he held it tightly. I said that they will see he said he doesn't care,and my foolish craving heart enjoyed it. Anitha saw us holding hands and she was whispering to my other cousins while giving me a sharp gaze. Fuzhi left us alone and went to join my cousin brothers. After plucking flowers and walking for a while we came back and had evening snacks and tea.
Later I saw grandpa talking to Lin and Fuzhi, I felt that Grandpa is not liking Lin and he is reluctant to accept him. His body language and facial expressions clearly shows his indifference to Lin.
Iam not sure may be its bacause Iam furtive or I wanted grandpa to accept Lin as he is my husband. Though ours was a flash marriage I think gradually we are getting into a relationship and becoming a real husband and wife like all others.
While having snacks I asked grandma...
Ammu : Grandma...I think Grandpa didn't want Lin to be here right.... I feel like grandpa doesn't likes him .
Grandma : (in rough tone) .... Why do you want grandpa to like Lin...
I was dumbfounded and without raising my head from the plate gulped my snacks.
Chinnu was sitting opposite to me and she stamped on my leg to get my attention to her and she gestured towards Anitha with her eyes. I looked at Anitha and she gazed back at me with an angry face.
Grandma : Ammu, what are you staring at, have your tea.
Now I understood why grandma is angry, Anitha might have told Grandma that Lin held my hands in the field. To my fortune grandma didn't get the chance to interrogate me on that
In the evening after bathing in the house pond ,we lighted lamp and prayed and all of us were wearing traditional dress. As Lin wanted me to wear long blouse and skirt I wore it. Grandma asked why Iam not wearing a half saree, I said I don't want to. She prefers me to wear half saree as the shawl would cover the chest.
Later in the evening we had functions like yesterday. Fuzhi didn't come to see our programs so I told grandpa that Iam going to outhouse to call him.. But grandma stopped me and send two of my cousin brothers to call him. They came back telling Lin and Fuzhi are not there. I tried them in phone and Fuzhi answered me that they went to mall to buy dress for Lin. I could feel that Grandma's eyes were always on me .
After we finished our program we had dinner and all sat in the middle courtyard planning tomorrow's pookalam design and practicing thiruvathirakali(women's dance performed in a circle around a lamp) . I received a call from Lin to meet at the women's house pond. I denied and told him that grandma is suspicious of me and she is watching me. He just disconnected the phone ordering that he will wait for me there..
After sometime pretending as sleepy I went to my room along with Chinnu. Lin called me again.. ..
Lin: Ammu, where are you. Iam waiting...
Ammu : Lin, You go back, It's not convenient for me to come now, grandma always has an eye on me. Also don't go to women's pond it's restricted for men.
Lin : Ammu, if you are not here within 15 minutes , I will come straight to your room no matter what happens. Iam not scared of anybody and there is nothing that can stop me from meeting my wife.
Though his threatening was absurd, him calling me wife ,his domineering words and stubbornness to meet me really robbed my heart. I liked his arrogance as it was to meet me and I bluntly believed and mistook it as his fascination. I just wanted to meet him now and felt it too romantic and adventurous to meet my secret husband without others knowledge.
With Chinnu's help I somehow managed to get out of the house and ran to the house pond. I stood at the door breathing heavily from running and saw Lin playing with his phone, I just stood their looking at his handsome face ,that moment I realised how good looking is my husband with all that attractive features.
While I was admiring Lin's beauty he again called me on phone, I disconnected the call to tease him. I could see the anger twinkling in his luring eyes. He tried to call me again and I continued to disconnect all his calls. He angrily put the phone into his pocket and rubbed his temples, later took a stone and thew it to the pond.
I lifted my long skirt above the ankles with both hands and walked slowly and carefully without making the sound of anklets and sat on the step. I saw him rubbing back of his head out of anger and turned back to return ,and saw me sitting there. Lin really lost his temper and lifted me up and stared at me ranging those familiar cold look . I just couldn't control my laugh and burst out on his face. His eyes were so fierce as if he wanted to eat me alive,but to my surprise they were least scary. I smiled and pinched my ears to say sorry.
Lin : Ammu... I don't like such childish behaviour...
Ammu : Iam sorry.. Lin please now don't be angry... I have taken so much risk to come here deviously . Grandma is suspicious..... Iam scared whether she would find out.
Lin :"" "
Ammu : why did you call me...
Lin : it's nothing you leave..(angrily)
Ammu : Oh please Lin, tell me... I said Iam sorry....
Lin still stared at me coldly.Others are afraid of his staring and this cold look, but me Iam just fond of those cold angry eyes.I feel like he is so adorable and loveable and I could only see his love for me.it's true we find what we look for, that's why I couldn't trace the conspiracy or the dispise hidden behind those love filled...no..fake love filled eyes.
I held his hand and apologised again. Lin embraced me and made me to sit on the steps and he sat on two steps above me keeping his legs open. He pulled me towards him between his legs by holding my waist and made me to lean to his chest. He bend his head to kiss my forehead and pressed his lips onto mine while his hands were kneading my back.
Ammu's hands rested on his chest and Lin slowly sucked her lips and she wrapped her hands around his neck giving him a fair access on her.Few minutes of accepting his kiss gave her an intention..no a desire to kiss him back. She slowly kissed him back,her kissing skills were really bad.when he got her response he intensified his kissing by biting her lips and sucking it hard.
Lin left her lips and kissed all over her face including the scar pulling her into his embrace. He slowly moved to crook of her neck and sucked. His right hand moved up from the waist and placed over her rich soft bossom.
Ammu retreated from kissing and held his hand to stop him and turned aside with her back facing him. Lin hugged her from behind and squeezed her in his arms and pecked on her right shoulder and crook of her neck and cheek. Ammu closed her eyes and held his both palms inside her hand near her stomach leaning her back on his broad chest.
Lin : (In a husky voice) Ammu please let me...I ...I just want to feel it...
Ammu :"" "
Lin tried to move his hand and asked again, please Ammu.... And he sucks her neck with a moan hinting her the pleasure and the desire arising within him.
Ammu just helds his hand tightly as if afraid to let it free as he may touch again on her bossom. Lin bend down and rubbed his cheek at crook of her neck and rested his chin on her shoulder and said... Please Ammu... Just once.... Please....
His voice was so sweet and seductively romantic that Ammu could neither resist his request nor an unknown emotion craving within her for his touch. She did not reply to him instead unholds his right hand.
Lin getting her non verbal permission wrapped his left hand over her stomach and placed it on her right waist and his right hand moved towards left blossom and gently kneaded the softness ...
Ammu panted heavily from his sensual touch, her eyes became moist and with trembling voice she pleaded.... "enough.... please Stop now....." , but he doesn't stop what he was doing or may be he didn't wanted to retract from enjoying the softness which he had never experienced in his life..
Suddenly there was a bang sound outside the house pond ,Ammu flinched and hurriedly moved away and stood up immediately . Lin caught on her skirt to stop her from going out.
Ammu: Lin.... Leave me. Somebody is there , I need to go
Lin : please Ammu... Don't go...
Ammu pulled her skirt and went to the door.
Lin: (stretching his hand) ... Ammu... Ammu.... Come back, I need you..... Please.....
This is the first time I see and hear such words from Lin. I was so mad with his touch and kiss and was reluctant to leave him. My mind was so blank in his touch and the new emotion to which he introduced me that I didn't bother about anything and ran back to my husband and hugged him as tight as I could . I kissed all over his face with all my passion as my love for him was surfing in me.
Ammu panting with excitement and blushed...she pressed her forehead on his chest... "lin it's late let me go now."
Lin : hmm...
Kissed on her forehead
..
Ammu who was still hugging him back to his embrace said "Grandma will look for me, let me go..... "
Lin nuzzles over her face and allows her to leave. After Ammu went he sneered and walked towards the outhouse as if he had achieved what he wanted.
I ran to the house covering my mouth as I couldn't believe that I had s*x with my husband just now.I was blushing ,even a finger poke on my crimson face could make the blood drip down.I was in seventh heaven ,my heart floated or was it me floating along the mild wind .it was raining mildly when I reached the courtyard and I raised my face up closing my eyes and spread my hands to feel it ....to capture it.
Suddenly it rained heavily so I went inside the house all smiling and blushing and went upstairs climbing the stairs all jumping with excitement. When I reached the last step I saw grandpa. I stopped smiling and walked slowly near to him. My heart was beating heavily no it was throbbing out of my chest...
Grandpa :(in a blank tone)Child you are all drenched , go and dry your hair otherwise you may catch cold.
I was relieved as he is not angry with me for going out in the night and did not ask why I went out now.I hugged him on his right arm and said Goodnight grandpa. He said gently rubbing his palm over my head “goodnight my child Go and sleep now, it's already late.... I saw grandma standing behind grandpa and waved my hand to her and ran to my room again blushing and smiling. I was so blindfolded with Lin' love that I didn't notice the tears in my grandma's eyes nor did I notice the trembling voice of grandpa.
I saw chinnu sleeping, so I quietly crepted in and laid beside her.
Chinnu : Ammu sister....
Ammu : Haah... You didn't sleep...
Chinnu: sister, why did you take so much time to come back.... Did you apply perfume now.. . I.. Hmmm
I covered her mouth and told " no more talking chinnu just sleep.....
I just wanted to sleep over the beautiful moments I just had, with the smell of Lin all over me. Yes my body had his scent and I loved it.
I just ignored what Chinnu was trying to say to me and even didn't use the slighted part of my intellect to think that if Chinnu felt perfume fragrance on me obviously my grandpa would have known too while I hugged him. And next day I regretted for not listening to her, and the matter became worse and irrepressible.
Seventh day...
While we were putting pookalam I saw grandpa going to the outhouse. Grandma's eyes were red and swollen.. After an hour grandpa came back and sat on his wooden rocking chair in the varenda. He layed on to the chair closing his eyes,grandma was leaning to the pillar and watching us putting pookalam. She looked tired and worried,I smiled at her but she just looked at me nonchalantly.
I felt something wrong and immediately after breakfast I went to the outhouse. I saw Lin sitting in a chair on the upstairs balcony and checking his phone.
Ammu :Lin.... Did grandpa came to meet you..
Lin : Hmmm
Ammu :Why? what did he say?
Lin :"" "
Ammu : Lin.....
Holding his hand to stop from checking phone.
Lin makes her to sit on his lap and rubs his thumb on her cheeks and then on her rosy lips. He pulled and squeezed her lips between his fingers. Ammu shoved off his hands away angrily and asked again to speak.
Lin : Why don't you ask your grandpa....
He said while tucking the hair strands from her face to the back of her ear.
Ammu frowned and stood up from his lap..
Lin held her wrist and said... Ammu be prepared.... And kissed her palm.
They both heard heavy footsteps approaching them. It was Arun..
He came to the balcony and dragged Ammu downstairs. Her uncles were waiting for her in the courtyard ,she was slapped by her father's brother and he used abuse words to scold Ammu.
Shaanthi aunty also made use of the opportunity and scolded Ammu. Grandpa interfered and asked them not to beat her.
Shaanthi : Father, didn't I tell you this girl will deceit you, she is immoral and shameless...
Grandpa : Shaanthi,I don't want to hear anything, just keep your filthy mouth shut.
Shaanthi : Father who is filthy, me or her. Ammu, speak out what is your relationship with that forejgner. We all saw what you both were doing in the balcony that too early morning. Don't you have any manners that there is elders around. How dare you to behave so vulgar under our nose.
Arun : Grandpa I told you about her, but you didn't believe me. Now are you convinced....
Everybody pointed their fingers at my grandpa. Arun's parents, My uncles and aunties ,everybody blamed grandpa. I couldn't bear my grandpa being accused because of my fault. It's my grandparents who raised me after my parents death. They have fought with their other sons, daughters and relatives for me. And at last what I have given them is nothing but humiliation and mere deceit.
Shanthi aunty pulled my hair and slapped me. I fell down and cried miserably. I didn't cry out of pain from beating but I cried out of the pain I had at the bottom of my heart. I could still hear my grandpa shouting at them taking my side ..... "Leave my child alone and you all get out of my house...."
I couldn't face my grandpa, I could no more have his love or affection . I don't deserve it anymore. I felt as if Iam out of breath and Iam dying.....
It was raining heavily as if even the nature was crying with me and I was still lying on the ground drenched....
I felt a strong hand lifting me and I embraced that person crying.....
