The most complex and complicated creatures in the world would be women... And he thought he started to understand and know his wife a little better... well that was stupid of him...
The next day morning when he stood in front of his room door to knock he found it already open and his wife walking out draped in a light blue saree wiping out the excess water dripping from her hair with a towel...
He quickly came out of his trance and cornered her to the wall...
What did i do to deserve such a treatment haan geet...
U locked me out in the cold and didn't even bother to call me... why!!
Maan leave me...
No
The door wasn't locked maan and as for calling you in i forgot!!
Forgot!! U freaking forgot that you let your husband die in cold!!
Maan lower ur voice... and i already knew that u have no respect for our relationship but atleast spare me some dignity... we are not in our room!!
Hearing her accusing tone he pulled her with him into the room and looked the door..
Now... what were you saying...
Let me go maan I'm not in a mood to fight... atleast not today...
Oh I'm so sorry but we will talk and that too NOW!!
The look on her face was so broken like she was just fighting for the courage and trying so hard to stay strong... he wanted to let it go... atleast for now but then knowing Geet she would never ever share what hurt her so much so stood in front of her daring her to deny
Sighing softly she looked at him not fighting anymore she took a step towards him and raised her hand to crease his cheek..
Maan don't u think what happens between us inside this room... between you and me... us... Should stay between us... only us...
Her last words lower than a whisper while she dug her face in his chest and leaned on to him lightly...
But her words scared him more what did she mean did she hear his conversation with maa... if she did... how much did she hear...
I understand she is your mother and I'm not against you sharing things with her... but maan... there are few things and moments... which were supposed to be only between us right...
There were so many questions in her eyes... she looked so innocent and pure... when he didn't answer she just left the room shaking her head in disappointment and a sad smile still lingering on her face
And he couldn't concentrate on anything anymore he was afraid of that smile that it sent chills down his spine...
One it was already difficult for him to understand this whole depression and stuff... and now this... it was just afternoon but he found himself Infront of his house... resting his head on the steering wheel he thought back to the things doctor kaka tried to explain... in the past one week of treating maa he said he had been observing bahu and she was oddly silent and often lost in her world... she was always at the edge when ever he talked about her MIL's health like she was trying so hard to set things right... the over anxiety and stuff were like indications... but Maan being himself all he understood was being ill and any problem related mind means being mentally ill... and he was sure his wife normal!
This whole psychological problems and all just went above his head... all he understood was his wife was like a delicate flower and would need extra attention and that too from him.. he was actually surprised when maa understood everything in few minutes where as it took him a complete two hours session with Dr kaka.. how can he forget his maa was one highly educated women even in those days
He jumped out of his Jeep and walked into his house... his eyes roaming around to find a glimpse of her... but she was nowhere to be seen... he walked in to the dining area to find his maa and dadi engrossed in some TV show... he went to to their room to talk to her and spend some time as it was for the first time since their marriage that he was home for lunch!
And when he stepped in he was greeted with an empty room... he walked in to the room looking around he found her Golden pearl necklace and earrings thrown across the bed and the saree she wore this morning was on the chair beside the dressing table... did she wear that saree just for the morning... why did she change... and she was never so careless about her ornaments... where is she...
He walked down to the hall calling maa and gaining her attention... he was worried... Geet wasn't in the house or she would have been at the door by now... he knew she recognized the sound of his Jeep even from a distance... Now the question was where is she!
Though his maa was surprised to see him home at this hour but quickly got worried seeing him all stressed...
What happened Maan?
Maa did you see Geet... I couldn't find her..
Oh... you really scared me maan... Geet went to her home...
Her home?
Haan Maan your baba even insisted that he would accompany her but she didn't let him...
Maybe she was missing her family... so we let her go...
He couldn't hear anymore...
Her home! Wasn't this her home... where he was... wasn't this her family... he knew wasn't even thinking Clearly... but he didn't want to...his mind refused to... the rational thought was far from him... he was getting angry with every passing second...
How could she go.. just like that... she could have told him...
"Mai Ghar chod k chali jaungi Maan"... he remembered those words clearly out of nowhere... "I'm Tired of you"
Did she really leave him!!
Was this the end or was there more to the void...
it was for the time to decide and love to follow
