As the evening approached, both of them hurriedly got ready, conscious of the time ticking away before the dinner. She had chosen to wear a plain red saree with a backless blouse, a combination that made her feel both elegant and confident. Dressing up had always been something she enjoyed, and for this unofficial first date with her husband, she was determined to make a statement.

As she stepped down the stairs, her steps careful and nervous , she noticed his eyes on her. Their eyes met for a fleeting moment, and she could sense something different in his look – perhaps a hint of surprise or appreciation. It was a short exchange of looks, as he soon urged her to hurry up asking her to get in car hurriedly so they wouldn't be late.

Sitting beside him in the car, she felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. It was her first time sitting beside him in his car. First going out with her husband. She wished for conversation, for a chance to bridge the gap that had existed between them. As they moved through the traffic, she kept thinking ofwhat made him ask her about going on dinner with him when he could have easily gone without her, without even informing her

Upon arriving at the upscale restaurant in the city mall, a sense of both anticipation and nervousness settled within her. The aura of the restaurant was lively, filled with the soft hum of conversations and the gentle notes of slow music. The place was filled with people, most of whom were strangers to her. She observed the crowd as they made their way through the halls, hand in hand.

Approaching a well-dressed man, her husband greeted him with a polite smile. It was clear that they had a working relationship, yet she couldn't help but feel a sense of curiosity about this individual who was familiar with her husband's life. The introduction was made, and she extended her hand for a handshake. The man's aura was surprisingly warm and comforting as he looked at her.

"She is my wife," her husband introduced her.

The man's handshake was firm yet gentle, and his eyes held a knowing shine.

"Nice to meet you" the said boss greeted her gently with a pleasant smile .

"Thank you, it's a pleasure to meet you too." She politely replied returning the comforting gesture with a smile

Then the boss turned toward her husband
"It's good to see you moving forward with the life leaving behind your past and focusing on the future. I'm genuinely happy for you,"he remarked with a supportive smile,  triggering a subtle shift in her husband's demeanor. The response was a silence marked by guarded emotion.

Her husband's face darkened, his eyes narrowing as a surge of anger and pain welled up within him. The notion of people moving on and erasing his late wife's memory stung deeply, a raw reminder of the love and grief he felt.

The unexpected comment caught her off guard. It seemed that this man had deep knowledge into her husband's life that she hadn't expected. She exchanged a surprised glance with her husband, wondering about the deeper connection between them. Trying to maintain her composure.
