Second Wife, Second Love.

41. Misunderstood.

***Ramya's POV.***

My mood is spoiled and there is nothing anyone could do to get it better after I realize what I feel. Insecurity is the bad thing which can ruin everything and I am feeling it right now. Because from that one feeling comes many other feelings like jealousy, prejudice, hatred, malice, getting upset over little things all the time and so much more.

While I am lecturing myself over the side-effects of having insecurity, my husband has totally forgotten about me and has not come to me with water yet. So I get up from the table and decide to get a drink myself. To hell with driving. I need something to calm me down right now before I literally explode.

I gather my courage and walk past their group. At one point, I almost felt like Reyansh was calling for me, but I think it was my hallucination. There were so many types of drink in the bar so I ordered a vodka martini. I drink one, then take another glass of it and a plate of starters, then go back to my table in the corner.

I have become one of those abandoned wives, just like in those books I used to read. I stopped reading them after I got the hunk of a husband. Never thought this day would come in my life.

"So you are drinking now?" Reyansh asks and I look up to see him carrying water in one hand and scotch in another.

"Like I said, I was thirsty, and you took your sweet time to come back to me. What held you up?" I ask.

"Did you not see me? I was with my friends. I called for you, but I think you didn't hear me over their voices." He says as he sits opposite of me.

"Whatever." I say and slap his hand when he goes to take the starter, which is mine. "Get your own plate."

"Are you angry with me?" He asks.

"Maybe I am. You asked me to promise that I don't leave your side, but the minute you find your people, you just totally forget about me." I say.

"I didn't forget you. I just got hold up by them because it has been a while since I saw them." He says.

"But if I were in your place, I would have just pushed them aside to be with you because you are all alone. But obviously you are not me and I am not you." I say.

"What are you talking about?" He asks, looking confused..

"Seriously!" I say, "You got nothing I said till now?"

"No." He says.

"You didn't get why I am angry with you?" I ask.

"No." He says.

I look at him for a few seconds then sigh heavily, "I wanna go home."

"Really? I was thinking about introducing you to my friends." He says.

"Really?" I ask.

"Yes." He says and I feel a little fine that he wants people to know about me.

"Sure." I say.

"Hey! I am sorry. I should have come back soon." He says, taking my hand in his.

"I am sorry too. It was just that I felt alone for a second and when I saw you with Jagvi..." I say.

"She was just congratulating me and nothing else. Also, I am tired of arguing with her." He says, "Fighting with her means holding on to the past that I want to forget."

"I understand." I say.

"Let's eat something then, after introduction, we will leave. I'm more interested in the after party at home than this party." He says with a wink.
