1. Nostonirh ( The Broken Nest )
Mr & Mrs. Khurana , The happiest couple in the world.
May be once upon a time it was. But now there seems visible cracks in their relationship.
While he got ready alone. The old memories making their way in to his thoughts.
He used to believe a lot of things.
But those days seem to be far off now.
His lovable wife for whom he could do things in a heartbeat had grown tiresome to him and ugly and stale.
She watched as he left. There wasn't a breakfast together or good bye kisses. While she drank the coffee alone.
But still it seemed she waited for him. For the regular normalcy to return.
But she couldn't wait much. For the coffee was turning cold and there was work to be done.
It looks like this was their new normal for months now.
As i read the chapter, all along there was a glimpse of the broken nest. In the way he thought about his wife. The rejected tie as if he rejected those good memories , in her lonliness, in not facing each other, in their losing themselves in work.
There was pain , bitterness , lonliness and the need to break free from the thread that bound them. A simple chapter packed with so much stuffs.
The birds of this nest surely are not the happiest couple in the world.
