....appi whatever you may say or do  now this wedding won't happen,  these were sabin s words like an explosion,  she felt  all was destroyed and  smoke surrounded   and spread around her,  she gave a look at sabin,  his tone was absolutely defeated,  he was broken  shattered    sorrowful  and  lost and regretting,  for two weeks he had been   carrying  heavy emotional load on his mind and heart,  only he knew  how heavy his spirit felt,  just after they were married  sadya told him  she had a love affair and was in relationship with him,  his voice  sunk with  loads of exhaustion  and  lifeless,  she was about to  fall down dead hearing him out 

Appi was the  main  matchmaker in this marriage,   sabin s fiance sadta s mother  had been appi s teacher,  she was   their  family friend  and very close the reason nobody bothered to check their past  affairs before marriage as is customarily done in arranged marriages,  theirs were quick engagement and instant marriage two weeks ago  , some time was given before the rukhsati,  there was still ten days for the rukhsati  but this information was  suicidal to the marriage
