It's my life- I

The aroma of food filled the entire house but Priya knew Ajay would least bother to appreciate it. She had cooked his favorite biriyani and kheer and was waiting for him impatiently as everyday. The clock ticked 9.30pm and there he was parking his car in the garage. Before he could ring the door bell Priya opened the door and smiled at Ajay.
“Hello how was your day?”
Ajay just threw her a repulsive look and went to the bathroom to freshen up.
In the mean time Priya set up the table for him to have her specially made biriyani. She was sitting for a while now and noticed Ajay come out of the room fully dressed to go somewhere. Her eyes moved with Ajay as he took his shoes from the rack and started wearing it.
“Are you going somewhere” she asked with a shiver in her voice
“Yes, I am and I won’t be back until late tomorrow”
Priya didn’t want to question him anymore as she knew what his reaction would be. Ajay doesn’t like being questioned or dominated.
“I made Biriyani for you”
“I like biriyani made by my mom, not by you”

Saying this he smashed the door leaving Priya behind alone in the house.
Tears rolled down uncontrollably as she placed all the dishes in the refrigerator. She could not possibly think what the reason was behind Ajay’s behavior. All she wanted at this moment from him was a smile and show of sign that he cared as a token for their 2 month marriage anniversary.

Life was not the same for Priya; she had to leave her parents, friends and Ravi back home after she got married to Ajay. Her thoughts were now wandering about Ravi as she was making her bed. Ravi was her best friend or maybe someone more than a friend. She knew him from her school days. He has always been for her like a guardian angel looking after her.
There were times when Ravi would wait for her class to finish so they both can walk home together talking about all the weird things going around in the world. Everything happened so fast in her life that she didn’t have anything under control including her marriage with Ajay. Ravi was off to Singapore for an official trip when Priya’s wedding took place. She had no choice but to listen to her parents.

Priya decided to change herself after the marriage though. She knew nothing could be done, so she managed to bury her feelings deep down her heart. But the more she tried to push Ravi’s thoughts away the more it came floating towards to her.

Priya was now lying in her bed thinking about Ajay. Right from the day they got married Priya couldn’t think of a day where he tried to make a conversation with her. It was always Priya who initiated and always ended up discouraged. She didn’t know what she did for him to behave like this. She felt hopeless and down. She needed Ravi at this time so she could rest her head on his shoulders and everything would just seem perfect after that. But she didn’t know where Ravi was right now, there was no TV or internet for her to take a peek at the outside world. She has been locked in this house for about two months now and Ajay not once cared to take her out for shopping or even a simple dinner for that matter. She felt a pinch of pain when she thought about her situation. Bearing confusion in her mind she fell asleep waking up in a brand new day, a day that was going to change rest of her life.

Priya opened her curtains welcoming the rays to fall in her face. It was a bit cloudy, it is going to rain she thought with a small curve in her lips. Priya loves when the rain drops kiss her face gently giving a shiver in her body. She simply loves that feeling.

Thinking about rain she was taken back to the days when Priya used to run out from anywhere when it starts to pour and Ravi hated it, he thought it was too childish. He would simply sit and watch her play like a little kid.
She felt ashamed for thinking about another man when she was married now. But he was not another man for her, he was her Ravi. They both had similar feelings for each other but never expressed it out due to certain reasons. Priya knew just by looking at into his eyes, it spoke volumes.

She wondered what Ravi’s reaction would be if he finds out about her situation. She wanted to talk to him, but she didn’t have his number. The only way she could find out was by calling her friend. Geeta should know where he is, she thought to herself. Quickly changing herself to a simple shirt and jeans she walked out of her house. She looked up at the sky; one small drop fell in her forehead. Life is so beautiful she thought. She was happy that she was going to talk to Ravi. This is the longest period of time they both have stayed without talking to each other. It was unbelievable how Ravi managed all these days without hearing her voice. But again even if he tried its not like she had a phone, Ajay uses his cell phone and maybe he didn’t want to call him to ask about her.

She got into the cab and halted at a near shopping mall. The cab driver was kind enough to guide her around the places. He even mentioned about waiting till she was done with her work. She nodded with a smile and walked inside the building. Nothing looked amazingly different to her as she had seen many shopping centers like this in Chennai. But this is huge compared to the ones I have seen she told herself.

Priya was walking around looking for a pay phone. She did manage to find one after 20 minutes. Without wasting any time she quickly called her friend Geeta.
Geeta was shocked to find out that Priya didn’t know that Ravi was in US too. In fact in the same province, he had called the same day Priya left to states and talked with Geeta.

Priya was surprised...more than surprised she was very happy. Her happiness knew no boundaries, she hurried to take out her pen and note down his phone number.
There was happiness in her eyes and as she turned she saw something that she didn’t want to nor expected to see. She saw Ajay kissing a girl.
