Now that Nikki was in Kerala, she should have been fine right? New place, New people to meet. Yet this mind and heart was still the same. She had left it behind in Hyderabad... the urge to call him, was so strong. She only wanted to hear his again. To tell her that it would be all right and she should just trust him. She still had a choice. Sigh! The choice!
It was a choice that she made 4 years ago...to be a second fiddle, to shatter some child's dream, to wreck a marriage and live with that guilt. That guilt tasted sweet, too sweet until her stomach began to cry 'no more'.
**********
He met her the same place they met the first time to tell her that he had made a decision. He wanted her. He was willing to walk out of 15 years of marriage for her sake. He was willing to leave behind his son to be with her. He was willing to offer her all that she ever dreamed off and even more. A marriage and a life! And yet she walked out on him, on them and their future.
***********
Now that Nikki thought of it, agreeing to be someone's mistress seeemed easier than to be someone's wife. Strange!

Oh even Kerala couldn't help her, then no way..:-D
There is a similar story in movie "Kerala Cafe". This is a new initiative in which there are 10 short movies shown one after the other. Some of them are really touching..Each has something or other to do with the coffee shop "kerala cafe'.
In one story similar to what kutti has written, the husband dies, but before that he reveals everything to his wife. Somehow later the mistress and wife become friends (at least they have one thing in common that they loved this guy)and lead a normal life.
On a different note, conditional love replete with all kinds of demands, insecurities and cravings. But once it becomes unconditional, nothing can change it. Guruji says thoughts, perceptions, emotions, sensations, all change. Only thing that doesn't change is what?
Commitment.:-D
