Next day morning Divya woke up early. She did her daily things quietly. Made tea. Prepared breakfast. Woke Monu. Helped him get ready for scho.ol.
Wore simple yellow saree. Tight blouse. Pallu neat.
Mangalsutra shining. Outside everything looked normal. Inside her heart heavy with guilt.
Ranjith came to kitchen. Sat at table. Divya gave him tea cup.
Her hand shook little. She avoided his eyes.
Ranjith took cup. Looked at her calm.
"I loved you. I talked with your father for marriage."
Divya nodded small. Said nothing.
Ranjith sipped tea. Then spoke again slow.
"Our families are traditional. I don't ask who is he."
Divya heart beat fast. She stood near stove. Back to him.
Ranjith asked even slower, voice low.
"Did you enjoy sex with him?"
Divya face became red like tomato.
Shy and shame burned hot.
She turned her face towards Monu .
Started preparing schoo.l bag.
Put books. Tiffin. Water bottle.
Hands shaking. She could not look at Ranjith.
She said nothing. Just worked fast.
Outside lane mein Hamee rickshaw sound came.
"Bachoo aao!"
Monu ran to Divya. "Mummy, rickshaw aa gaya!"
Divya took Monu hand.
Walked to gate. She even did not look at Hamee. Eyes down.
. Pallu tight on chest.
Hamee sat on rickshaw seat. Looked at her. But he did not say anything.
Did not smile. Did not stare like before. Just normal.
Helped Monu to sit.
"Chalo beta."
Rickshaw started. Pedal sound faded.
Divya stood at gate long time. Watching them go.
