FOLDED SECRETS

FOGGED

"Is it true?" she looked at him with teary eyes. He didnt utter a single word.

She patiently asked again, "Tell me! Whatever she is saying...is it true?" He stood motionless.

She asked again but this time her patience broke and she started to yell, " Tell me the truth whatever it is. I need to know whats in your mind. So tell me...tell me... "  She cried and started to hit his chest vigorously.

The main door was open and the neighbours were having a good time watching a live fight.

He looked at their staring eyes that already passed a judgment and then looked at her. She was still going on crying. He tried to calm his thoughts and the first thing he did was closing the door.

He grabbed both her hands and locked it with his on her back, took her closer to him and made sure she couldn't move.

"Do you love me?" His lips were too close to hers making her heart race.

She gulped her thoughts and replied in a timid voice, "Yes I do."

"Are you sure?, he asked back. She locked her eyes onto his but didnt know what to reply. Her lips were trembling while her mind was puzzled whether to reply to his question or not."

"He continued after a short pause. You say you love me but you dont trust me?"  He asked in a mocking tone.

"Yes!  I love you. But loving you was my and only my decision and since I knew that you never liked me before so it might be possible if you ever had the thought of switching me to someone else. And I am not fine with it but Ill deal with it. So tell me if you have thought something like this."

" It's true that I seriously hated in the beginning but I never disliked you but I hated the situation that brought us together. But gradually when I came closer to you I realized that you are not such a type of person as I was informed before. Infact I was attracted to you more and more until that day when I proposed you. I thought I would do every possible way to compensate my past acts and live together happily. But now I think this was only my wishful thoughts."

"Are you the only one who wanted this?"

"You know this was the time when we need to prove our faith and trust on one another. Today our relationship failed and so our love."

"It's not that I don't trust you but certain things need to be cleared out to make a relation better and stronger. I am not doubting on you darling... but you too need to clear things before it turns out ugly."  Her angry tone turned out to be pleading now. She realized her stupidity.

"But this is the time when you needed to stand by my side...even if you were confused at least you could have just showed little faith instead of simply displaying our personal matters infront of others."

"But it was never a personal matter since the beginning."

"Huh?"

"When more people are involved with us, how can you say it to be a personal matter?"

"Ok!!! You want to do this now? Fine. Bring it on."

"What? Am I wrong? I have..."

Beep...beep....beep!!! His phone rang. The phone was kept near her so she could easily read the callers name.

"Huhh!! So it has already started now!!" She said in a mocking tone while inside her, she felt disastrous.

"Stop it! He held the phone and saw the callers name. AAHH! What a good timing!"

"Why is she calling you? Shameless bitch."

"Stop it now. Let me receive the call for Gods sake please."

"Go on! Being shameless is that all you can do now."

He stepped back away from her and received the call. " Hello! "

"Are you happy now being a home wrecker, you bitch? she yelled intentionally. "

Startled by her, he shouted this time, "Will you please let me take the call? It's a call from the office."

For a few seconds silence filled up the room. He got busy with the call while she stood there at the same spot glaring at him. She was continuously biting her lips and restlessly waited for him to end the call.

Just a few micro seconds after he cut the call, she barged at him.

"I..I clearly saw her name. How can you lie so easily?"

"She has been working in our office since last week. Whats wrong with you?"

"What? And why havent you told me this?"

"Look at you how you are reacting. This is the only reason why I haven't said anything."

"Huhh! What an excuse!"

"Whatever I don’t care. At the end you will believe what you want to."

"What am I suppose to do when my husband is behaving like this."  And she started to weep.

"No! You tell me what am I suppose to do?"

"I....I never....thought...my life....to be like this..."

"Nor am I."

"W....what....should....I...do...when...my....partner...is...."

"Same here."

"Will you please stop! Dont you see how hurt I am? I am crying and you are still with your talks."

"Huhh?? Ok! Is it so?? Just because I didnt cry doesnt mean I am not hurt. And all this started because of your insecurities."

"Your behaviour towards her made me insecure."

"And tell me how many times I have said that nothing is going on between us."

"But she is a...."

"And you are the only one who brings up her name in between us every fuckn time. Mark my words. You only bring her topic every time."

"Yes, thats because I can see things."

"Your imaginative things probably.:

"I am no better than you in doing cheap things."

He was ire. "Really? Are you saying this? Remember, you were the one who asked for a second chance."

"Now you are stretching it. Lets stop here." She finally realized that he was not in a good mood.

"Yes! Of coure! We need to end this now and for ever." Saying this, he turned his back towards her and started to type something hurriedly on his phone.

"What are you doing now?" she curiously asked.

"Just some leftover work with my lawyer." He replied with his coarse voice.

"Do..Do you want to end it this badly?"  Her voice seemed trembling.

She spoke again, "Is this all act put up because of that single person? Are you so much into her?"

He didnt speak this time. Nor he gave her any reaction. This made her even more scared. She started to weep again.

He turned towards her and smirked at her. "Dont worry! I dont give up on relationships that easily."  And he elegantly left for his room.

RELATIONSHIPS WITH FOGGED UNDERSTANDINGS have endless insecurities and own-built-up-troubles.
