"No mom, how did you even think i will follow what my wife says or asks? I am a man! and she is my wife! Wife's should never complain of anything, why are you doing this? I want to live my life on my terms and not on how she likes!!!"
said a frustrated rey and banged the door behind him.
Taani, as she was married to rey, he was ready for the marriage but he don't have any least idea about husband wife relationship. he always thought that, as a man and as a husband he will dominate and his wife should obey him and respect him.
Nevertheless, he got such a wife who respects him a lot and yes, loves him of course. She never complained about him but it was his parents who noticed that both were leading a mechanical life, and there was no love between them.
That night rey came home and went to his room, he found his wife as usual sleeping on the couch and he headed to his bed, the moon beams were falling on her face, he felt something ticklish and went near her.
He was looking at her peaceful face. he dint know why he was doing this but felt a strong urge towards herself. Taani tolerated enough of his rude and easy going nature. She dont have anymore patience but she is trying her best.
Next day, Rey's best friends and newly wed couple Swayam and Sharon came to Rey's place. they all chit chatted for some time and had their lunch.
The day was as a normal day for everyone but rey found change in taani's behaviour. whenever he says to do something, or asks her to do anything she did it but with an expressionless and emotionless face. Earlier, she used to Smile at him expecting him to smile at her but now, he lost it.
He felt he lost the most precious thing in his life. his heart was screaming in pain, he wants to cry hard, he was completely restless and now he understood what importance she has in his life.
Later Swayam was showing their marriage photographs to Taani and Rey, Rey's eyes were on her and her eyes were getting moist.
After the photograph session, Taani went to the washroom in their room and oozed out crying her heart out. Little she knew that rey was following her?
He realized his mistake, he was walking past Swaron's room and saw them. Sharon and Swayam were in a pose where swayam's hands were circled around swayam's neck and swayam circled his hands around her waist. All the differences between them were just because of his ego.
If he would have been normal and friendly with taani, he would have realized his love for her earlier. But now, he was wrapped up with lot of guilt.
He went to his room and found taani drying her hair, maybe she was crying hard under the shower and her eyes say it all.
R: taani
Taani turns
R: Bass ek baar, i want to sleep on your lap
taani was shocked.
R: its a request taani! PLEASE!
Taani just nodded, he made her sit and he sat on the floor, and kept his head on her lap. And his tears had no boundaries and limits.
Taani was more than confused now, she gathered all her courage to question rey and
T: rey... rey... Whats wrong?
Rey clutched her more and dug himself more, she was not able to stop.
Taani decided not to ask anything and leave it to him, whenever he wants he will say. She gently kept her hands into his hairs, though she was getting scared.
Rey slowly stopped sobbing and cuddled more.
He got up after a while, went to the washroom, washed his face and came back, after wiping his face. He went to Taani and hugged her softly and as if she is the only one for him.
He rested his cheek on her head and she dropped her head on his chest.
They stayed like this for a quite long time.
And started their love story...
