Married Or Not

4. saree

After a while his mind calmed down when a huge truck passed by
" you are wearing seatbelt right."
She didn't answer because she was asleep he stopped the car by the road side and pulled the seatbelt over her
"pohoch gaye kya" she asked in a low voice
As soon as his cologne hit her she stilled in her place she breaths out after he left her space.

They reached home after next silent 15 minutes drive.
" Will you be fine?"

"Yes. it's nothing, Thank you."

"Tell Martha I'll be late."

"Yeah Martha is your wife" she mumbled

"What?"even though he heard it.

"Nothing."

He gave a nod and he left for the office.

"You know talking to your best friend helps the same as gulping down this whole whiskey..."

"I'm not a twenty year old girl... To rant everything to my best friend..."

"Aur 2-3 peg k baad ye hr aadmi bhul jata hai and you'll start talking to the bottle or even the air in the room."

"Last night when I went to bed she was already sleeping on the couch
I didn't ask her to okay."

"O.K. Why did she sleep there even if she did... Did you tell her this morning to use the bed from now on instead."

"No."

Jay chuckled "And Why Not"

" Because I left for office."

" Something is missing"

" Ughh 1st night I was drunk so I decided not to go anywhere near her
but sent me to my room remember."

Jay raised his brows "I'm listening."

"Next day I was going to say it's fine the bed is big enough but she was already asleep... And."

"Uthake sula deta."

"I thought about it but then it weirded me out.. To to uh touch her"

"She's your own wife not anyone else's.."

"Haa but.."

"What is the matter if it were just about sharing a bed you would go late and sleep after she's asleep something is eating you up."

"I misbehaved with her okay I'm not proud of it.."

"You shouldn't be."

"I can't even tell you what I said."

" I don't want to hear about it."

"I'm sorry, I was angry you know I wasn't planning to marry and dad.."

" But it's done so Put that bottle down and leave.. This time go to bed I mean literally in bed, not into stupid arguments and allegation session with your wife."
