OUR MARRIAGE IS JUST A PIECE OF PAPER : EPISODES 1 – 10
Episode 8
Sometimes, I tried calling Ansh, but it was futile. He wasn’t answering. After having coffee at Starbucks, I decided to call it a day.
Not to forget, I also had chocolate waffles and Swiss chocolates, which were amazing.
Later in the evening, I returned to the hotel and met the same couple again in the lobby.
“Hey beautiful… Still on your own. Join us,” the woman said. I didn’t even know her name, but she was kind. Her baby bump made her look even more beautiful.
“I would love to, but I am going home tonight. I wish you both and your baby lots of love and happiness.
Hopefully, we’ll meet again,” I replied without many questions.
“Thank you. We wish you all the happiness and goodness too,” she said.
I nodded and went into my room. I had booked a midnight flight with Jet Airways, as I felt comfortable traveling at night.
I didn’t call Ansh again. I was fed up with his irresponsible attitude. I packed my things and had a light supper.
I changed into a tank top, ripped jeans, and a trench coat, along with a red scarf to protect myself from the cold.
As I was about to leave and had just opened the door, I saw a man standing there.
Ansh!!! He was dressed casually instead of wearing his suit.
What was he doing here now when I was about to leave? It was terrible timing.
He looked happy and cheerful, while I was glum and dull. Did he really go for a meeting?
“Leaving somewhere, wifey?” he asked mockingly.
“Yes… I have a flight to catch. Excuse me,” I said, trying to push him away from the door. But he stood his ground.
He was in my way, and as soon as I managed to get past him, he grabbed my hand tightly.
“You can’t leave now. We are still not done with our honeymoon,” he said, his coolness vanishing.
His grip was becoming stronger now.
“But I am done with it. Let go of my hand. I’m running late,” I shouted.
But he didn’t comply. So, officially, we were having our first fight just four days after our wedding.
I didn’t expect it to happen so soon.
“You can’t leave me alone. I told you I went for the meeting.”
“Release my hand.” I jerked him off and continued. There were red marks on my delicate skin.
“I’m abandoning you? Is that it? I’ve been calling you like crazy, wandering the city all alone, and you’re blaming me… Ha! At least you could have sent me a message out of courtesy.
Besides, I’ve already enjoyed myself. I have work to do now. Get out of my way.”
“Ahana… Wait….”
We were fighting in the hallway now. I noticed that couple standing a bit away.
Tears welled up in my eyes. My hand was hurting, but I didn’t dare to give Ansh a second look.
How could he do that?
I don’t know what they must be thinking about us.
I said we were together, but it looks so fake. But that is the truth. Everything about us is a lie. A bitter one.
I got in the car and headed to the airport. My flight was at 1:25 am. I arrived early.
I already had too much pain to endure. I boarded the plane and immersed myself in work.
Ansh stood in the corridor. He knew he had been irresponsible. Then he saw a couple approaching him.
“Hi… Sorry to interrupt, but if she is your wife, then I must say she is very sweet and kind. You shouldn’t break her heart,” the lady spoke.
“She didn’t even attend the special program because you weren’t there,” she continued.
Ansh felt guilty.
