~Leon & Pob~ #makeittillwedrop

Leon

Seeing Pob at my brother's house really made me happy. Only if Leena wasn't around. I just played the part of the devoted husband and left.

In the car, on the way home, Leena kept looking at me. "What is it?!" I snapped. I really couldn't take it with her. I wish I could just walk away from this whole facade called a marriage.

"Except that you know you can't so let's just not even go down that path ok?".

God damn, its like she can read my thoughts. I just stared at her and continued driving. I could not say anything. I chose this path, I chose to marry her. I had to suck it up for the next 1 year or so. If only my mother hadn't, God damn it. I would not even be in this mess.

Leena was a pretty girl. But that's where it stopped. Her character was no where to being pretty. Nowhere, not even a single bit close to my Pob's character. That man was wholesome and sweet.
She was just vile and distasteful.

Soon I found myself at our home. Correct that, her home. I dropped her off and went off towards my own.
Yes, we were married only in paper.  Nothing else. Thankfully.

But to the world, we were a devoted loving couple. As I was driving back, I was contemplating on how my life had turned out so differently. I made a left turn and did not see the oncoming pedestrian amidst my flooded thoughts. Shit!
I nearly hit the person but I quickly swerved right! I got out of the car quickly and ran over to the person, who was just huddled on the ground for a bit, in shock I guess. I approached the person cautiously only to realise they seemed so familiar.

"Pob?!?!?!" He looked up only to see me. But the look on his face was of fear and shock. He was so white. I quickly got down to his level and hugged him to dissipate some of his fear. He was cowering in fear. I soothed him and a few minutes later, I could hear his heart beat back to normal. Thankfully it was late and traffic was non existent. I quickly brought him up and got him into my car. I asked him if I could send him home but he seemed far away, thoughts distracted. I decided to bring him to my place instead, as it was getting late too.
