As the day went on, so did Alpa’s sense of helplessness. She felt she was trapped in a prison built by her own good deeds. Her husband would never have left her in the village like this if she had been less capable and showed some signs of feminine fragility.
Perhaps she should have argued with her husband when he decided to go to the city for work. He could see that his parents were cold to Alpa and only spoke to her when they needed something from her – why did he never say anything to them? Perhaps if only she had broken down and cried in front of him or ranted and screamed…maybe then he would not have gone and things would have gradually become easier.

Aairihini couldn’t help but leave her car in the middle of the road – simply because she knew she could in this lovely rural area – and enjoy the open space. It reminded her of college days, when she and her friends would hang around on the greens, chatting excitedly about their dreams of success.
All of those friends were far away now – in different cities, different countries. The few friends that were in the same city were, like Aarihini, engrossed in their onerous, yet high profile work.
On one hand, Aarihini felt exhilarated by the feeling of the sun on her skin, the open space, the sight of the trees being gently stirred by the breeze. -But on the other hand, she was a little overwhelmed by the silence and the empty roads and villages….Taking a break from the city might be recharging her energy levels, but it certainly wasn’t doing anything to reduce the feelings of loneliness that she had been dealing with lately.

As Alpa waved her aarati lamp before the deities in the family altar, she wished for the light of the aarti flame to to pierce the inner darkness she felt. She asked the gods to help her find a way to draw herself back up from the dark well and into the light, where she could feel like she was a part of life and not so separate.
Everyone had only the nicest things to say about Alpa’s devotion and hard work, but these points rarely came up. In fact, it seemed that the only time people spoke about her this way was when her family began discussing her marriage. They spoke so frequently about her diligence, her intelligence, her pleasant nature and her beauty during this time that she really began to feel like she was someone special, someone valuable.
Soon after Alpa’s marriage, however, her family involved her less and less in their plans and conversations unless it was to discuss when she would have her first child. Her husband’s family also took her for granted, but she had expected that. While her husband himself was sweet, he was also quiet. Alpa didn’t feel she could speak to him about her feelings.

Aarihini stopped the car to take in the stillness that surrounded her in the countryside. She was glad she decided to get away and explore! She knew she was only a few hours from the city, but she felt like she was in a different world altogether.
She took a few deep breaths as she admired the green, the quiet and most of all, the feeling of being completely liberated from the chaos of the city. She had even switched her mobile off to make sure she didn’t pay attention to the endless stream of emails that were coming to her inbox.
“They can wait until Monday,” she weakly told herself as she felt a wave of guilt pass through her for ignoring her work.
