A Roof Without Love
No other choice
The night before the wedding
Violet and Karan
Karan massages his head which continues to hurt in recent days, Ghanem appears to be sitting on a sofa chair right next to Karan, the second aunt had been pacing in front of the two men while thinking.
"Married to violet"
Said the beautiful woman quickly while staring intently at Karan's eyeballs.
"Crazy auntie, how could I possibly remarry? how could I hurt two women? Rasty my wife's aunty knows that well"
Karan is clearly not Sudi, he thought how he could get married again when his heart was attached to one woman.
"Then how? you're gonna lose everything, lose your chance to treat Rasty, you think it doesn't take money?"
The second aunt was obviously angry.
"Who do you want to use money for? we were? since the beginning Daddy has controlled the entire Narayan family account, black cards, checking accounts and all transactions in and out Daddy controls it well, he doesn't want a single person to help you to save Rasty and the man, then you want to waste this opportunity?"
Say second aunt while pressing each sentence.
"Married violet also means you save one more life in this world, his mother needs money to do the operation, Daddy will not want to spend his money for free, he said, and when you marry violet, it means you're saving three lives simultaneously"
"When people look down on you from the outside, God will understand why you did it, Karan. Even if Violet hates you one day she'll be quiet enough and over time she'll understand"
"But I can't do it"
Said the second aunt again, approaching Karan then gently rubbed Karan's head.
"You know why Grandpa pressured you first to get married instead of Ghanem? because he wants you to stay away from Rasty, things in the past he still can't forgive, even he knows Rasty can't possibly accompany you anywhere because of his shortcomings"
The woman hugged Karan's body slowly.
"Do it, marry her, we'll help you protect Rasty, one day when Violet hates you, there'll be an aunt and Ghanem who will treat the wound in her heart hmmm"
Karan hugged the second aunt tightly, as a soft cry rang out from behind his lips.
Why is life this joking?.
In the past, all the mistakes started with me, but my grandfather hated you and your family, and even I hurt you.
If I'm asked to choose, I want me to replace your pain, feel how dark the world is, even hated by many for mistakes never made.
If I am asked to choose, I want to live with you, in light and in simplicity.
No need for a luxury home, a luxury car or anything that is the biggest burden in our lives, quite something simple as long as there is love in it.
You know, honey?.
I often cry alone when I see you wake up and even fall asleep as if at the same time that you cannot distinguish between day and night.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry if I had to do all this, I wasn't given another choice to see you laugh like I used to.
