Chapter 2- Own Happiness

Chapter 2

"It has been three years my lady, are you

really not going to take away your obsession anyway" an older woman said to a young

woman who was passing her teenage years to prime youth.

"Nanny, how could I forget him? I still

remember he is walking on the dam of Wewa like it happened yesterday. He is the

best man in my mind still today. If not, that incident happens, I should have

married him and lived a happy family life" Miththa said in an un-resigned manner.

"My lady, but you must not forget your

youth is going to spend. In this period how many proposals were sent by your lordship,

and how many noble youths were asked your hand directly while you were living

in Kalyani? Even your maternal cousin also asked you many times. But you have

rejected all of these without any second thought. What are the lacks of those

youths? Status, money, good character! 

Any of those higher than that man Migara. Even all the men asked you are

unmarried. Why do you keep waiting for that man? My lady, he is a widowed man.

Even he has two children. What are you expecting from him by creating bond? Do

you expect you can live a happy life by marrying that kind of man?  Why are you wasting your time on this kind of

unrealistic dream" the old nanny said with a somewhat agitated voice. After

coming to Kalyani, Miththa did not get over her fascination even a bit. The old

nanny saw how her young lady waited for news from Kalamalgama. She saw how her

eyes shone when she heard about the news about Migara. She never saw any specialty

about Migara. She saw many great young men who were many times above than

Migara after coming to Kalyani from Kalamalgama. Even some were asked the hand

of the young lady.  But her master never

accepted any of these. So, it was a contradiction to her about the behavior of

her lady.

"For my own happiness, I think it is not a

waste. When I first came here, I tried to forget him sometimes. But I found it

is hard thing to do. I found whenever I heard about him, I would be happy.

Sometimes I feel lonely when I miss about him. So, I think it is worthwhile to

try at least one more time about this relationship. "Miththa said to her nanny

with some expected eyes.

"But lady after that girl joined to that family,

it will be hard to achieve your goal. Master Migara very protective about this

girl. For her, he is very reluctant to remarry" the nanny said.

"Yes. If not that girl, I surely achieve my

dream now. But it was destroyed by her. Nanny, tell me if there is no that girl

will there be chance for me?" Miththa asked.

"This…I can't be sure. "Nanny said with

doubtful eyes.

"Yes. There should be. If there is no more

that girl there will be a sure chance for me" Miththa said in excited voice

maddened eyes.

"My lady…" Nanny was tried to interrupt her

master's voice.

"No more… Say is our spy still active in

there?" Miththa asked from the nanny with a resolute voice.

"Yes, my lady, "the nanny said with a sigh.

"What? I thought she turned back to us

after we came here" Miththa said.

"I also thought like that. But I found she

still tried to make contact through your ladyship's cousin. Maybe she wanted to

keep a good face with your ladyship's family. She still tells us important news

for us. "Nanny said to Miththa.

"So it is time to use that pawn, " Miththa

said in an aggressive tone.

"My lady, what are trying to do? " Nanny asked with some fear.

" I want to get another chance to pursue him.

So I want to use Neela to create chances for me. Is not cousin Ajantha asking me

last month to go there? Let's go and make full plans for that" Miththa said with

a stern and courageous voice.

"Yes my lady. I will ask for information from Neela

as soon as possible". Nanny said and left the room of Miththa
