The Unventured Passions
Unventured Passions is a contemporary romance novella in Indian context, weaving tales about a prominent young 18 year old landlord, who after becoming a barrister, returns to his country, only to find himself entangled with the fate of a 9 year old child, a girl. On a fateful stormy night, infront of hundreds of villagers, the young barrister was compelled to marry the little girl to save her life from the prevailing social evils that would have led her to imminent death. But, needless to say, he could never accept her as his wife. With an age difference of 9 years, the relationship between the two remained as that of a mentor and a mentee, a teacher and a student, for years, each growing up slowly amidst platonic companionship, until one sensuous moment of weakness. The blossoming teen girl had fallen hard for her cold barrister husband... and fearing the worst, the husband sends her away, only to realise he too had fallen for her madly... But it's late already! His baby wife wasn't a baby anymore, and the fiery passion burns hard... Would he be able to get this beautiful fiesty wife back? Will the young lady accept her husband who had renounced her once so heartlessly? The story revolves around love, hatred, jealousy, mystery, action, patriotism, and an unforgettable tale of passions above all... a saga of love beyond all odds. *Mature Content Alert*
Chapter 30 Sweet Deception
The evening sky was dimming away as the two women sat together in complete silence.
Vandita was crying... her silent sobs had filled the room with an air of melancholy.
Kshitija sat beside her quietly.
"A Keep? A half women?" Vandita's voice choked. "What are you even talking about Kshitija?"
Vandita's tear-stricken eyes failed to see the subtle smirk that played on her friend's lips.
"Vandita, you are my best friend, the sister I never had. All I'm saying is Awnirudh Babu is not doing justice to you." She paused. "Think about this. He had asked you to revoke the marriage, hadn't he? Till date, has he ever mention about re-marriage? Has he ever tried to pursue you to remarry him legally?" Kshitija planted her points in her thoughts tenderly.
Vandita remained quite, her eyes pouring continuously, as her mind still mulling at the words she had heard.
'A half woman!' the words echoed in her ears.
