Chapter 1

It was 3 AM.

I had been sleeping when I heard the door to my apartment open. I knew it was Randhir, but I didn't open my eyes - this had become habit. He would come home late at night without giving me an explanation... and that was fine, I didn't mind if he came home late, but everything had changed now.

It was like there was nothing between us anymore. We were two strangers living under one roof - in one room.

As he went into the bathroom, I went back to sleep. It was only when he got into bed next to me that I woke up again. He was facing the wall, away from me, but that didn't stop me from wrapping my arms around his torso - trying to hold him while I slept.

Randhir slept shirtless... it was a habit he had ever since his college days. I ran my hands up his bare abs and pressed my face against his back, inhaling his scent.

Feeling my eyes prickle with tears, I let go of him and turned to face the wall, away from him. He had smelled like perfume - ladies perfume.

"Randhir?" I whispered into the cold room, but he didn't reply to me.

I knew he wasn't sleeping... he was just trying to avoid me... as usual. This was nothing new.

I closed my eyes too and tried to hold back my sobs. As I silently cried myself to sleep that night, I wondered whether Randhir had been having an affair.

Maybe I wasn't good for him anymore. Maybe I was too boring for him. Maybe she was prettier than me. Maybe he had fallen in love with someone else.

The word "maybe" ran through my head, forming different conclusions. I knew I would have to speak to him... how much longer could this go on for? We had to communicate someday.

I decided I would speak to him in the morning and ask him where our marriage was heading... his hostile attitude towards me was driving me crazy. I didn't know how much longer I would be able to live like this.

Chapter 2

In the morning, I woke up before Randhir. To be honest, I didn't really sleep well. I dozed in and out of sleep. Perhaps I properly slept for ten minutes the whole night.

As soon as I showered and went back to my bedroom, I saw that Randhir had woken up.

He barely acknowledged my presence as he went into the bathroom and locked the door, taking his phone inside with him.

I got dressed and then sat on the bed to wait for him. When he emerged from the bathroom, his hair wet, a white towel wrapped around his waist, I got up.

"Randhir," I said, walking towards him. "I need to talk to you."

"Yeah?" he asked me. "Make it quick... I need to go to work."

I felt a dagger stab me in the heart. I wasn't even worth his time anymore. There used to be days where he would go to work late because he used to enjoy spending time with me... there were days where he would even call in sick, just to lovingly embrace me.

My eyes filled with tears again as I reminisced the past.

"I want to talk about our marriage," I said, trying to control my tears. "Where is it going Randhir? We barely talk."

"What are you talking about?" he asked me, looking directly in my eyes. "We are talking now. You know I've just been caught up in work."

I couldn't help it. I started to sob. I watched as his eyes softened and he placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Look, Sanyukta, don't cry... okay? We'll make it work. I'll come home early from work today and we'll go out for dinner together. Somewhere nice," he said to me, and I looked up at him and couldn't stop myself from smiling.

"Really?" I asked him, feeling my heart melt.

"Yes," he confirmed, nodding. "I'll be home by six. Be ready."

I wrapped my arms around his torso and hugged him tightly. He rubbed my back soothingly, and I blushed, remembering that he was still in a towel.

"I need to get ready now Sanyukta," he said, as I kept on hugging him, refusing to let go.

I let go of him and stood up on my tiptoes, kissing his cheek.

"Do you need help getting ready?" I asked him, trying to sound seductive, but he had already walked away and grabbed his clothes from his closet.

"Not today, I'm running late," he said and I nodded.

"Alright, I'll make you something quick to eat," I decided, then walked out of the room, into the kitchen, already smiling - excited for what was to come.

Maybe Randhir had just been busy. Maybe our love was still the same... we just didn't have much time to spend together. But tonight, he would take me out... and that thought made me so happy.

As soon as Randhir got dressed, he came outside and I walked up to him with a bowl of cereal and milk.

"Eat this, it isn't much... but don't go on an empty stomach," I told him.

He grabbed the bowl of cereal from me and started to eat quickly.

"Eat slowly - eating fast isn't good for you," I warned.

"Sanyukta, I have to go," he said quickly, and then passed the bowl back to me with half of its contents still left. "I'm late."

I put the bowl down on top of the table, and then I hugged him. He patted my back and then pulled me off.

"I'm really late Sanyukta," he told me again.

"Okay, at least give me a kiss," I told him softly.

He caressed my cheek softly.

"I'll see you at six, right now I really have to go," he said, and then put his shoes on.

I felt upset as he opened the door and left, without even saying bye. I glanced down at his half - eaten bowl of cereal and started to feed myself the rest of his cereal.

As my mouth closed around the spoon, I smiled. So what if he hadn't kissed me? I was tasting Randhir through this cereal... and tonight, he would be spending time with me only, so I had no reason to be upset.

I was already smiling, thinking about what could happen tonight.
