Life may not be perfect because it isn't meant to be perfect. It is messy and sometimes it is a disaster, but there is beauty in the messiness and there can be peace in the disaster.
And yesterday's fight turned out to be the worst fight ever me and Kriya had. It started on such a small topic but we, specially me made it nasty. After the tight schedule, when I returned at 1 am and saw that still she is not back, I just lost it. I knew that she had to go for a launch party of a film, but I didn't expect her to be back at 2 am of night.
"So, here you are! My princess, welcome to the sweet home. Do you have any freaking idea, what's the time it is now"? I demanded angrily without even thinking how harash it sounds. Over possessive husband I'm, you see.
"Oh, I am so sorry Rey. It just I really had no idea how time passed and you know it's after such a long time I have enjoyed this much", she said smiling brightly as always and placed the key of her car near the dining table.
"Oh, yes, I can understand that very much. But did you once think about me? Here I was getting tensed and your phone was also even out of the reach. How you can be so irresponsible Kriya?" I just couldn't control.
Here I was waiting for her to come back early so we could spend some times. Together. And there she was enjoying in a party, I just could not digest that. It hurted my male ego very badly.
And that moment she lost her cool also. "There is no need to shout Rey.Why you are snapping at me like that? It's not the first time I am coming home late. I have to attend such parties. And you know that. When you return late at night after night schedule, do I blame you? No. Because I know it's your job."
"But unlike you I do keep my professional life away from my personal life. We don't even get time to be together. Each day you have something. Films, dance, parties. Do you ever think about me? About us? This can't go on like this. Looks like it's fading now. Our love", I blurted out what I should not have said.
"I just can't believe you just said that Rey. After all these years...," her voice broke. Silently she took her pillow from our bed and moved out without even arguing.
For proving my stand that I'm right, I didn't even bother to see if she is okay. Such male ego. Such a jerk I'm. I wanted to prove her wrong. Yes! You got it. Proving her wrong was much important for me at that moment rather than checking if I'm even justified a bit or not.
When I was going to sleep , first time alone in these two years, something caught my attention. A white paper which somewhere looks like a letter. I just picked it up and started reading.
Rey,
When you came into my life, I was only an ambitious girl, who loves her dream beyond anything, anyone. When you proposed me, I rejected you. I was little selfish, little blind who couldn't understand or should I say, didn't want to accept that I was already deeply in love with you. But, at a time I failed. And you won. You have taught me the meaning of romance, meaning of pleasure. You have turned me into a woman. And now you have turned me into a mother also. And before you say anything let me tell you one thing. Dear future daddy, I want this. I want this small happiness for us. We have chased enough before dreams. Don't you think it's the time, we should take a step forward to the wonderful experience? These two years I spent with you were amazing. You have supported me in every decision I took. And I can't thank you enough for that. Thanks for being the best husband any girl can ask for. I just wanted to tell you that I love you. Though I don't say it daily, but you know na that I do. You have changed my life forever and I'll cherish this change always.
_Your's Kriya.
And I felt that my world just turned upside down. My girl is not so good to show her emotion. It is me who always say that I love her. But deep down I know she cares for me, she loves me enough to take the flight at 3am from London when I just got a little fever. We don't get thirty days in a month to stay with each other, but the seventeen days we get, she always tries to be with me, to spend time with me in spite of our busy life. The ride was ever smooth, but we did overcome. We married going against of our parents. And I don't regret it. She doesn't too. So how could I utter those words? These two years were not enough for me to know the real Kriya. Where did it lack? From whose side? Me or her's?
And this morning when I see her making two cups of tea wearing a flower print yellow dress, that I gave her in our last anniversary, I just couldn't control the tears making their ways from my eyes. She looks so fragile, so innocent. And I know I hurted her very much but I don't know where to start. My apology will be enough to make everything okay? Sometimes I was wrong' or I am sorry' these words are not enough. So I do, what I do best. I say nothing.
I just go and hug her from behind and let my tears fall. The scent of her mixed with fruity shampoo makes me calm. I just keep moving my lips on her nape, afraid that this time she will push me from her forever. But she doesn't.
"I'm sorry Kriya, it's just...," she doesn't let me finish my word and place her mouth to mine.
I just held her tightly and she sighs on my lips.
"I know...I know that you love me. And it's always. Forever."
And I know I have her again...
