[STORY] MARRIED TWICE (Episode 38)

Episode / Chapter 38.

AS soon as Kesmanee was out of the building, he headed towards the garden, oblivious of the fact that Sharuna was trailing behind

He knew her to be very smart, so he tried his best not to talk, knowing very much well, she would recognize him from his voice

He was happy and amazed that she could now see, but was sad and heartbroken that his brother had taken her
All thanks to the accident that had kept him in the dungeon and caused all these to happen
Sharuna on her own part had a feeling that Priceley’s best friend might be Kesmanee
She was determined to find out, and she followed him quietly
She wasn’t aware Priceley was behind, neither of them was aware
Kesmanee walked stealthily towards the garden, his hands behind him, he didn’t know Sharuna was following, he didn’t even expect her to
Then, they were some kids playing along the terrace and suddenly, a girl tripped and fell
Kesmanee rushed to help her up
“Be careful kid”, he said
What!
It was his voice, she couldn’t mistake it anywhere
“What! So it’s you”, Sharuna exclaimed, shouting, startling Kesmanee
He abruptly turned and was surprised to see her
He was shocked
“Oh my God! Yes, it’s you”, she said walking further towards him
“Sharuna?”, they turned towards the direction of the voice, it was Priceley
She was shocked
“What do you think you are doing Runa?”, Priceley demanded furiously
She became lost for words
“I……. I was……”, she stuttered
“You were just what?”, he was angry
Kesmanee just watched the both of them in awe
“Will you get back into the house”, he commanded her
She could notice the anger in his voice, and it didn’t call for argument
She turned and ran back into the house
Priceley watched her leave and then he turned to Kesmanee
“You okay?”, he asked him
He nodded
“Yeah, I’m fine”
“Come into the house”, he intoned
Kesmanee shook his head
“I’m fine Priceley. I just wanted to be alone”, and he walked away
Priceley shrugged and went back into the house
Sharuna got into her room in a haste and locked the door
Then she flopped down on the bed, and in few minutes, was already lost in thoughts
Was that really Kesmanee?
Was that?
Ohh Jesus
She had to think
“Come on, think, think”, she said and hit her head
Then it dawned on her
KESLEY; the name of the institution
Dr Sujit had once told her that Mr Bennett had named it after his two sons
Kes from Kesmanee, and Ley from Priceley
Yes, that was it
But hold on
Priceley said he’s his best friend, not brother
But Mr Bennett had named the institution after his two sons
How come??
Ohh!
She remembered now

Hadn’t Kesmanee had once told her that he was an orphan and had been adopted by his best friend parents?
That they had made him what he is today?
Yes, he had told her so
Ohh Jesus
Why had she forgotten? Why?
Now, she has to find out if he was really Kesmanee, yes, she has to before jumping into conclusion and then taking action
She closed her eyes and instantly, sleep enveloped her

Days has passed, the marriage was just few days away, and still, nothing, nothing has been done
She had absolutely done nothing
Kesmanee on his own part, was making matters worst
He had been avoiding her, not wanting to reveal his identity
But why?
Something is wrong somewhere
She had called her mother immediately after her research
Funny
Vida had screamed at it, that he was the one
“Don’t worry daughter, I will speak to Dr Sujit”, she had said
But since then, nothing had been heard again

She was standing in front of the dressing mirror lost in thoughts when the door opened, and Priceley sauntered in
He walked up to her and embraced her from behind
“Still thinking?”, he kissed her on her hair
She decided to pretend
“No”, she shook her head
“I’m not”, she laughed
“Come here”, he carried her to the bed
“You face looks swollen this morning”, he mocked her, laughing
“Stupid”, she said and threw him a pillow
He caught it and threw it back at her, she threw it back
They were now pillow-fighting
Then the voice struck her again
Yes, she couldn’t mistake it, anywhere, anytime
It was Kesmanee’s voice
It came from outside, downstairs
Seems he was talking too loud

She immediately stopped the pillow fight, and walked to the window, to look at him
And true to her thoughts, it was him
It was Kesmanee
She smiled as she stared, instantly forgetting that Priceley was in the room with her
“What’s wrong with you Sharuna?”, he asked
“I’m sorry I don’t know”, she was still looking out the window
“And you are still staring”, he angry
Then she slowly turned and walked back to the bed
“Can I ask a question?”, she said
He sighed
“Ask”
“What’s his name? I mean your best friend”, funny she didn’t even know his name yet
Priceley became mad at her
He was angry
He stood up
“I don’t know”
“Please”
“I said I don’t know”, and he walked to the door
“You have succeeded in maiming today”, and he walked out.
