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)
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)
RITHVIK DEVAN (ML)
🧊: “It’s me. Rithvik.”
SREE NILA  (FL)
SREE NILA (FL)
(sits up straight): “Rithvik… Devan?”
RITHVIK DEVAN (ML)
RITHVIK DEVAN (ML)
🧊 (short pause): “I assume you know only one Rithvik.”
SREE NILA  (FL)
SREE NILA (FL)
(in mind): He sounds exactly like I imagined. Cold. Calm. Like a villain in suits.
📞 Phone Call
RITHVIK DEVAN (ML)
RITHVIK DEVAN (ML)
🧊 “We’ll be moving you into my house this weekend.”
SREE NILA  (FL)
SREE NILA (FL)
Oh. Okay…
RITHVIK DEVAN (ML)
RITHVIK DEVAN (ML)
Before that — a few rules
SREE NILA  (FL)
SREE NILA (FL)
(eyebrow raised)Rules-aa? Like hostel rulebook?
RITHVIK DEVAN (ML)
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)
SREE NILA (FL)
(quiet for a second): Anything else? Shall I walk without making sound like a cat also?
RITHVIK DEVAN (ML)
RITHVIK DEVAN (ML)
🧊If you can, yes.
SREE NILA  (FL)
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)
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)
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)
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
