OUR MARRIAGE IS JUST A PIECE OF PAPER : EPISODES 71 – 80
Episode 72
What… Why did he disconnect my call? He could have picked it up and answered me. Oh man… This guy is driving me crazy.
But… What if something wrong is happening with him? Oh, Ahana… You must not think all these. I called him again, and he disconnected it.
It’s 10 pm, and still, I have no word from Ansh. I am really getting worried now. The entire day was wasted strolling back and forth waiting for him.
I couldn’t even concentrate on my work. I had to work out things for Jaai, but because of Ansh, I was restless the entire day. I didn’t know that waiting for someone could be so emotionally stressful.
“Mam…”
“Yes, Sara?”
“Should I wait with you?”
“No, you must go. You too have a family.”
“It’s… Fine… I can wait.”
“No, you mustn’t. I insist.”
Sara too left. So, I was all alone in the big house. I was pretty sure Ansh wasn’t with Mir.
If he was, then he would surely have texted me. I didn’t have my dinner and tried watching TV.

After admiring the beauty of my house and walking around in the garden, I was fed up with waiting. I went into the living room, and my patience was giving up.
“Mir… Is Ansh with you?” I finally called Mir to at least inquire once for my satisfaction.
“No… He…”
“Oh! So someone is missing her husband….”
It was Ansh’s voice. Husky and a bit trembling. I am sure he must be drunk. I turned around. I still had my cell clutched to my ear.
I saw Ansh standing with a bottle in his hand, of what I don’t know.
His tie was loose, his hair was messy, and his shirt was also untucked. But still, why did he look so charming to me? He changed his clothes, I suppose.
“Ahana… Are you there? What happened?”
“Mir… Nothing. Ansh is home. Sorry to disturb you. Bye.”
Saying so, I hung up.
“Ansh… What the heck are you doing? Look at you. Why weren’t you picking up my call?” I said, nearing towards him and taking the bottle away. Luckily, he didn’t resist.
“How does that matter to you anyways? You don’t care, right? Whatever I do, you don’t give a damn about it…” He said, almost shouting now.
“Ansh… What has happened to you? Why are you behaving like a child? Are you upset that I didn’t tell you things in the morning?”
“Wow… I am behaving like a child. You are hiding things. That friend of yours has so much security around him that I couldn’t even find a word.”
“What… Are you spying on him too? Ansh… Why?”
“No… I was just getting information. If my wife doesn’t tell me, I have other ways. And anyways, you have always rejected me. Be it while kssing or telling me things. I know you can’t confide in me. I can’t even be your friend.”
Oh! He still remembers. Even I do remember it.
It was special for me no matter what he thinks.
I went a bit close to him. I could see some faint tears in his eyes. Was he really crying? I think there is something else that makes him so sad.
I cleaned his tears and pulled him into the house, closing the door.
In turn, he pulled me closer, closing the remaining gap between us.
“Why…. Ahana…. Why do you do all this? Why are you so good and pure? Why am I so bad?”
He said, hugging me tightly. I don’t know what prompted me, but I hugged him back. He needed it, right?
“Ansh… What are you saying? You are not in your senses.”
“I am in my senses. I know what I’m speaking. Why did you send Mir with food for me when I abandoned you again? Why do you care when all you could do is reject me?
Then why do you show so much care for me when you know that I don’t deserve it? No matter what, I will hurt you again.”
“What… I didn’t send Mir,” I said, averting his gaze.
“Ahana… Don’t lie. I know everything. Also, you always stay awake till early mornings for your good-for-nothing husband.
Don’t you think I am stupid to understand it? To ensure that I’m home safe and sound.
Why?? I always make you sad, and still, you don’t complain. I am so rude with you, and you still manage to handle me. Why? After what I did to you.”
He was still holding me in his arms. I stayed still. How did he know I sent Mir to him? I could smell his original strong cologne with a mix of alcohol.
“Ansh…..”
“Ahana… I am not done yet. You stayed hungry to ensure that I ate well. Didn’t you? Even today, I know your stomach is as empty as my heart.”
Why was he saying all this suddenly? I am sure he’ll return to his original side in the morning.
“I had your pasta that day. I loved it,” I said spontaneously, trying to make up for him. But I really liked it.
“Huh!! You don’t like Italian. You can’t even lie properly.”
This man is really making me crazy now. How does he know I don’t eat Italian?
There were so many questions in my mind. How can he know everything?
“I swear I loved it. I am telling the truth.”
“Good… At least you liked something that I did for you.”
I tried to pull myself back.
“Stay… Please…”
“I know you hate me.”
He said in my ears, and I felt a weird pain in my heart. I don’t hate him. I can’t hate him.
I looked at him, and our eyes met. His eyes were all red with just two brown orbs trying to convey something.
I could see the sadness and the emptiness right through him.
I don’t know what prompted me, I stepped on my toes and kissed him. He was a bit tall for me.
He was surprised and didn’t respond. I retreated, and he looked in my eyes, and all I could do was nod.
I saw his eyes shine, and he moved forward and kissed me gently. I too gave in and responded with equal fervor. It was gentle yet demanding, trying to show possession over each other.
I bit his upper lip, and a moan escaped from his throat. I chuckled. I wasn’t at all experienced. This was the first time for me.
He smiled weakly and captured my lips again.
It was the first time I kssed someone, meaning that I initiated it.
And I was relieved that the person was Ansh, my spouse.
I don’t know what kind of relationship we are in now, but I realized that it was something different. He made me feel special, whether he realized it or not.
I don’t even know how he feels now, and I’m uncertain about my own feelings, but I have learned to live in the present moment.
I didn’t realize when he carried me to our room.
My eyes were closed, and we were completely engaged in each other’s embrace. I had my arms around his neck, and he closed the door with his back.
He gently placed me on the bed and looked directly into my eyes.
I pulled him closer and kissed him again, conveying my desires.
“Ahana… Trust me, I won’t hurt you.”
That’s all he said, and the night seemed endless as we consummated our marriage.
