Don’T Touch My Heart, Mrs. Stranger
Three Rules from the Man Who Won’t Call Me Wife”
Sree Nila’s room – 10:46 PM
She’s lying on the bed, scrolling Pinterest wedding videos.
SREE NILA (FL)
(thinking):
All these brides smiling in slow motion.
Meanwhile I don’t even know how my husband’s smile looks.
(Naan kalyanam pannikka love panna la. Just peace venum.)I didn’t get married to fall in love. I just wanted peace.
📞 Her phone suddenly rings. Unknown number. She picks up, confused.
RITHVIK DEVAN (ML)
🧊:
“It’s me. Rithvik.”
SREE NILA (FL)
(sits up straight):
“Rithvik… Devan?”
RITHVIK DEVAN (ML)
🧊 (short pause):
“I assume you know only one Rithvik.”
SREE NILA (FL)
(in mind):
He sounds exactly like I imagined. Cold. Calm. Like a villain in suits.
RITHVIK DEVAN (ML)
🧊
“We’ll be moving you into my house this weekend.”
RITHVIK DEVAN (ML)
Before that — a few rules
SREE NILA (FL)
(eyebrow raised)Rules-aa? Like hostel rulebook?
RITHVIK DEVAN (ML)
🧊
Rule 1. No entering my room. It stays locked when I’m not there.
Rule 2. No touching my personal things.
Rule 3. Don’t expect anything from me — not time, not emotions.
SREE NILA (FL)
(quiet for a second):
Anything else? Shall I walk without making sound like a cat also?
RITHVIK DEVAN (ML)
🧊If you can, yes.
SREE NILA (FL)
(thinking)This man… doesn’t want a wife. He wants a tenant 😒
After the call – Sree throws her pillow aside and groans.
SREE NILA (FL)
(muttering)Oru ‘how are you?’ kooda illa.
(Not even a single ‘how are you?’)
Kalyanam pannitu, strict rules podraaru. Enna school headmaster-aa?
(He married me and now setting rules. Is he a school headmaster or what?)
She looks at the ring on her finger, now feeling heavier.
SREE NILA (FL)
(softly):
“Amma forced this. But I’ll live this. Not as a victim. But as me.”
(◕ᴗ◕✿)
Meanwhile – Rithvik sits alone in his dark study room. Sips black coffee. Stares at an old photo of his sister.
RITHVIK DEVAN (ML)
(thinking)I did this to protect you, Akka.(sister)
I married that girl… so no one asks questions again.
And she…
She must stay out of my world
💌 Small Note from the Story:
He drew lines between them.
But destiny doesn’t follow rules.
Especially when silence starts to ache louder than words ever could
