AUTHOR'S P. O. V.

          All curious eyes were all glued to only one face which was none other than the Bride. Waves of emotions were expected from her and they were getting ready to support and console her. But to their dismay, nothing of that sort happened. Her face was totally devoid of any emotions. She kept starring at her Dad. Her eyes were fixed on his face. Breath was uneven. Pulse rate reached its peak. Komagal went near her and shook her hard. "Say something Sruthi. You are getting us worried. We are okay with any of your decision." She said as her voice was trembling with the thought of possibilities of thoughts running in Sruthi's mind.

SRUTHI'S P. O. V.

       What do they expect? A broken down me? No, unfortunately they won't get to see me like that. A broken heart can't be crumbled more. When has my life been so perfect that I would feel more depressed for this? Life has always played hide and seek with me where I was the catcher and happiness was the one running away from me. Destiny has always betrayed me so this is obviously not new to me.

           I slowly averted by gaze and keenly kept watching each and every family member's faces. Most of them had fake concern. Who wants that? Definitely not me. Sorry folks, you won't get to see what you want to see. Then my eyes met the most tired ones. Anirudh! He was trying to catch his breath. How weird? Wasn't taking away my breath enough for him? "Let's give her some space. She needs t-" "I'm ready for this engagement" I interrupted my dad, with my eyes constantly fixed on Anirudh.

            His eyes widened and he starred me with.....hurt? But why is he hurt? After spoiling my life and breaking my dreams, now he's feeling hurt is it? Anubavi, nalla Anubavi {experience my pain}. This is what you get when you stab someone ruthlessly. I could hear gasps all over the room. They tried to put in something into my head but all I needed was revenge. Revenge from the so called 'Rockstar'.

HRISHIKESH'S P. O. V.

           Oh God! What's happening around me? Why is everyone giving me shock after shock? I fear that I might get an attack very soon. Moreover Sruthi's decision is definitely not helping. My eyes wandered in search of that person with whom I thought that my engagement would take place. My eyes went moist seeing tears in her eyes. I totally forgot my surroundings when her red eyes met mine.

           She ran out of the room having her palm covering her mouth. Those tears pricked me. I can't break the promise which I made her. I can't leave her. But who's gonna really care about my decision after Sruthi's announcement? Sruthi, this is very wrong. You will never be forgiven. Never ever. Not till my last breath!

SRUTHI'S P. O. V.

         We are now standing on the podium where my engagement is going to take place or should I say, where my revenge takes its first step. The rings were brought near us. I took the ring in my sweating hand and held Hrishi's left hand firmly. I saw anger and hatred in his eyes for me. But why? He was the one who wanted to marry me right? As much as I looked confident outside, I was broken tremendously inside. I glanced at Anirudh for one last time. 'Say something Anirudh. Say that this is a dream. Stop me Anirudh'. I very badly wanted to say that aloud but couldn't. I slid the ring into Hrishi's finger while a lone tear escaped and fell on the ring.

           I wiped it with my thumb and caressed the ring which I bought for Ani. He also slid the ring into my finger while his eyes were stuck on someone. I seriously wasn't in a state to know the person. I closed my eyes and slowly opened it revealing my puffy eyes. Hrishi's eyes suddenly softened. He was actually feel.... feeling......guilty. I faked a smile to all those who were hooting and throwing flowers at us. Involuntarily my eyes searched for Anirudh. But he was missing. Expected!

Now get to know the pain Mr.Anirudh!!

       Vanakkam. So, how's the chapter? Hope you liked it. If yes then hit the vote button.

Now, why this revenge?
Where's Anirudh?
Why is Hrishi hurt?

Important note:

As a pure Tamizhachi, I couldn't refrain from talking about Cauvery and Sterlite issues. Besides our nativity, we are humans. Has our humanity gone so low, that we can't afford to give water to others? If you all think that what I'm saying is true, then share your thoughts on the comments section.
