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
