On the other side...........
The sound of the flute, violin , tabla echoed around the street. The blissful fragrance of the rose water - omnipresen. The sound of merry making, clattering of utensils, the aroma of the delicious dishes could be felt everywhere. Yes, it was Koushik's and Vijaya's wedding today. Koushik- a big businessman and Vijaya- the charming fashion designer . They had been in love for 5 years and were eagerly waiting for this day from whence they would stay with each other for eternity.
KOUSHIK: Vijaya , finally the day has come!
VIJAYA: Yes Koushik ! and I am sooo excited!
Just then , the bride and the groom are called to the stage for the final event of the wedding ceremony - the exchange of rings and the tying of the sacred thread on the bride by the groom which was a symbol of their happiness and togetherness for the rest of their life. Pure happiness flooded over the place and the two families were united forever......
Soon after his marriage , Koushik became of the most richest business man and the most charming and loving husband . Just like how his business grew, the love between Koushik and Vijaya grew and soon they had a beautiful child named Maya. They were a happy family and were extremely contended untill one day.......
That day Koushik returned from work looking very excited. He was so excited that his eyes shone and he was so merry as a child . Entering the house,
KOUSHIK: Vijaya! Vijaya! Vijaya! Where are you?
VIJAYA: What's the matter dear? You are looking as merry as Maya😂😂😂
KOUSHIK: Yes Vijaya, I am indeed extremely merry. You know, I came across this advertisement while returning from work.
Saying so he shoved an advertisement of a magnificent mansion built by the famous architect Ramu. The mansion was extremely beautiful with a huge serene lawn and high stone walls . It was 3 storeyed with coloured glass windows. The roof was made of burnt red tiles which suited the spotless white was walls. The mansion was serene in every way.
But seeing the seeing the serene picture of the mansion, Vijaya's face didn't light up. She felt an evil foreboding in her heart. A fear completely unknown grabbed her heart. Seeing her face growing blue, Koushik was shocked . He had expected his wife's face to light up and support him as she had always done . So he asked ,
KOUSHIK: What's the matter Vijaya? you don't seem pleased..... don't you like this mansion?
VIJAYA: Well... I like this mansion dear, but I have some evil forebodings about it. My heart is grabbed by ice cold fear and it feels that this mansion will the end of someone's life
KOUSHIK: ( baffled) Vijaya! What do you mean? You don't want to move to this magnificent mansion?
VIJAYA: I am afraid..... yes dear....
KOUSHIK: But how could you refuse your birthday present Vijaya?
VIJAYA: What????
KOUSHIK : Happy birthday dear! Here's the key to the house . And it's my birthday present to you!
VIJAYA : ( though afraid at heart at the same time not willing to hurt her husband's feeling takes the key) Thank you soo much dear! I completely forgot that it was my birthday today!
( Both kiss 😘)
When shall we move dear?
KOUSHIK: I have already made all the arrangements dear . It's only us and Maya who should move.
VIJAYA: (smiles) Love you dear!
Koushik takes Vijaya's hands and leads her to their new home .
VIJAYA:( to herself) I hope this move of mine wouldn't cost any life .( and sighs to herself )
