OUR MARRIAGE IS JUST A PIECE OF PAPER : EPISODES 41 – 50
Episode 50
I also saw 3 beer tins lying beside her. I quickly took them and threw them in the dustbin. I really regret having them in the fridge. I shouldn’t have kept them in the house in the first place.
Oh! She is drunk. I don’t understand why she does this when she knows she can’t handle herself. I removed the strands of her hair from her face, which were all wet.
I had to do this now, again.
I gently embraced her in my arms. But I still enjoyed it nonetheless. Her dress was moving away from her exposed skin. Ansh… Calm down…
As I carried her in a bridal style, she instinctively wrapped her arms around me. Her face nestled against my neck. I took a deep breath, her pleasant scent stirring something within me.
“Ansh…” She whispered.
Was she still awake? I could smell a mix of alcohol and her sweet fragrance.
“Hmmm…” I replied, continuing to walk us towards our bedroom.
“Why didn’t you come?” she asked, her eyes still closed. I didn’t answer. I knew she wasn’t fully awake or in her right mind.
“Did you have something to eat?”
Are you serious? After everything that happened, she still cared about me. How could she be so kind?
“Hmmmm… Why didn’t you have yours, Ahana?” I said. She snuggled closer, gripping my shirt tightly. I didn’t know what she was making me feel. I decided to drop the conversation.
I couldn’t say anything more. It was a new experience for me. She always made me self-conscious.
I carefully placed her on the bed and took off her sandals. I turned on the AC and pulled the covers over her. I was really mad at myself. Her eyes were swollen, with visible eyeliner and smudged kajal.
Then I noticed her phone blinking beside her. I ignored it and went for a cold shower.
When I returned, Ahana was already in a deep sleep. I was also tired, but I noticed her phone beeping.
I wondered who it could be. I picked it up. Fortunately, Ahana hadn’t set a password. It was a message. As expected, it was from Jaai, the only contact she had saved as “Hero.” Seriously…
“Hey! Beautiful… You look gorgeous. How was the party?”
So that guy knew. “What’s wrong, sweetie? Is everything okay? You’re not replying.”
She won’t reply to you. How dare he talk to my wife like this? Calling her beautiful and sweetie. I looked at Ahana; she did look beautiful.
“Did Ansh like his present, and what about that special announcement you mentioned?”
Is he sane? Still texting her. And he knows everything. Ahana confides more in him. What announcement is he referring to? I’m not even aware of it.
“I know you’re online, Hana… Please reply… I know you’re upset.
Did Ansh say something to you? Did he make you cry? Tell me, or I’ll call you right now.” I quickly regained my senses.
I was reading the messages, and he must have thought Ahana was seeing them.
I promptly turned off her phone. If he called, he would know that I was snooping through her phone.
While turning it off, I saw the screensaver: a picture of me smiling with those adorable kids.
I didn’t even know when she did that. But coincidentally, I have pictures of her and her smiles too.
I never expected Ahana to do something like that.
She’s truly kind-hearted and has a good nature. I can’t hurt her. She looked so cute while sleeping. I wished I could sleep beside her and cuddle her, but I know I have no right to.
I need to find out what announcement they were discussing.
“Done staring at your beautiful wife, Ansh… Can we talk?”
I turned around. I didn’t realize how long I had been standing there. I knew whose voice it was.
“Dad!”
He stood outside the door.
I don’t know since when I was gazing at Ahana’s sleeping form or since when he was standing outside.
” Hmmm…. So! Feeling guilty, sad, or having pity on her?” He said as I moved out and closed the door slightly.
“I am…”
“I don’t want to hear any of those. But tonight you really have let down, not me but your own wife. It was her plan to surprise you and make you happy. And in return, you surprised her.
By ignoring her the entire day and then sitting in some foolish bar wearing the same shirt she gifted. What are you trying to prove?”
I looked at him in awe. Seriously man… He knew everything. From where I was to where I am.
“I am your Dad… Ansh… Don’t forget. If I wanted to, I could bring you on my forceful will, but I hate interfering in your life. I never did it, and I never will.
I could have done it for Ahana, but I want her to realize that all this that she was doing was for the wrong person.
Serves her good for doing something for you. Isn’t it?”
I stood there speechless like a statue.
What would I reply to him? I couldn’t speak anything in front of him. He was correct like always.
“I don’t know what’s going on between you guys. And I don’t intend to know also. It’s personal. But it’s better if the things get sorted fast.” He said looking almost through me.
I know they aren’t going to get sorted soon. I can’t do this anymore. I was so wrong in the first place.
I was wrong about everything I did. I shouldn’t have done it in the first place.
I got it all wrong. I have messed up my as well as her life too.
“Are you listening to me?” He called me.
“Yes, Dad…”
“Ahana… is a sweet girl. She is your wife. Learn to care. You must learn not to hurt those who care for you. I am not going to repeat these things again. I want a perfect loving family. Do you get that?”

“Yes…” I said, but I don’t think I mean it. I’ll never be able to give that to you or to Ahana. That’s why I want her to be away from me.
I know I’ll hurt her again. I can’t promise you that, Dad. I want Ahana to stay happy, which she will never be with me. She has lots of people who love her more, and I don’t have any. I can’t see her crying and miserable.

It’s the first time all this is happening, and I have to overcome it.
He turned to go back to his room.
“Ansh…” He stopped again. I looked at him.
“Every parent cares about their children. Now I also have a daughter. I care about her too. I hope you understand….
