Till Death Do Us Apart..........

"In the name of the Father,and of the son,and of the holy spirit,I now pronounce Tarsila and Dunson to be Man and Wife;and that ye may so live together in this life,that in the world to come ye may have life everlasting.Till Death do them apart.Amen."

Tarsila Tigga was a beautiful and young woman married to Dunson D'silva,their parents had arranged everything perfectly,and their marriage was carried out smoothly.

She has grown up admiring her parents' love,and she strongly believed Love is Forever,even after Death.....

Soon after their marriage,they headed out on their honeymoon to Andaman & Nicobar Islands.She has always dreamt of having a perfect marriage;a perfect honeymoon and above all to fall in love with the man she has married.Her parents had found Dunson,to be the suitable life partner for her,and she has never had second say on it,so falling in love had to wait for a while....She  thought if her parents had found him suitable,she would too...and eventually she would love him,as time would pass by...

They talked very little,but yet she could make out he was a good man,and realized her parents were right about him.

It was 6 o'clock in the morning,and it had been drizzling since they boarded the cruise ship,when there was a sudden jerk,the ship had crashed into the sea.

People ran about the board,all terrified and fear rolled down their faces like perspiration.He jumped off the ship and shouted out to her,but her feet were frozen,glued to the deck.She couldn't react to the situation.

Nobody survived,except that she was pulled limply to the shore of an island,half conscious.She regained some sense after don't know lying there for how long.She searched for Dunson,but he was no where to be seen.She laid there in silence with her cheeks tear stained and a remorseful eyes locked in her sockets.

Every year since the incident,ships that crossed by that island reported of hearing cries,that of a woman in agonizing pain.News spread out everywhere but nobody dared to find what it was actually!

Gerry Kennedy and Rosemary Telesco,both professor at the Harvard University were writing a Thesis based on proving paradoxical interplay between science and religion.Curiosity got the better of them and they decided to investigate further on this island matter.

They reached the island the very next day.They looked around the island searching for any source,but failed to find anything.So they camped for the night.

The next very day they searched around for the second time but,the result didn't differ.It may be a rumor,so they planned to leave the following day.

But Gerry changed his mind and decided to stay back while he asked Rosemary to go back to get more supplies and return on the next trip of any available ship.

That night he finally heard her cries,agonizing pain,remorse in her voice,he walked about in the direction of the voice and there he saw a woman in her twenties,beautiful and young wearing a tattered peach gown.

He walked closer to her and asked her about who she was and how did she land up on this island.

She answered to all his questions;that she had come on this island with her parents and that she was lost and since then she was there crying and missing her parents.He promised to take her back to unite her with her parents.

After a fortnight,Rosemary was back with new supplies and she was overwhelmed to see a woman with Gerry.She knew Gerry had successfully discovered the real reasons behind the rumor.They boarded the ship and returned to Bangalore.

Gerry had secretly fallen for her,he found her to be the most beautiful woman he has ever come across.And decided to take her back to her parents,he searched for the address that she had given him,but he couldn't find any place on that address.

Her sadness hit him like thousand knives,all he wanted was for her to be happy!

After some months,he finally decided to marry her.He asked her and she instantly agreed,and this made him feel the luckiest man on earth.

Soon they married and he asked her where did she want to go for their honeymoon.She wanted to go to Andaman and Nicobar Islands and he bought two tickets the very next day.
