Serena's POV:-
After; Ash was gone for his work. I spent all of my time inside our room. The bad memories of that day; keep on coming. I buried my face and sat back leaning on door.
My distant memories continued until, mom-in-law came. Time kept passing by me. Before; I can realise, it's already become evening. The time; Ash comes home.
As soon as; I realised it's time for Ash's return. I was stuck with what he told. When I asked him about coming home early. 'Probably not' was his words.
But; I am still hoping to see him. I began to think of excuses that provides me more hope. But; time started to move so slow. Every thing felt, so slow.
Even after; waiting and hoping for an half a hour. There weren't any signs of Ash. I was becoming impatient second after second. So; with all my courage; I decided to call him.
"Okay!... This is it!" I said to myself. As; I pressed the call button and held it near my ear. With every ring; my heart racing. After; the three rings, I heard his voice. "Hello!" My heart skipped a beat.
"H.. -hello! ... it's me!" I answered in a panic. "I know that! So;... why did you call" Ash asked. "What do you mean? Why? Don't I have a privilege to call my husband". I snapped at him; who asks that kind question, to his newly wedded cute wife.
"I didn't mean it like that! I was just asking; did you needed something?". He answered it in a flash. "Ohh!... Okay! But; there's nothing like that". I replied calmly.
"Looks like you haven't able to tag anyone this time! Huh!". He is teasing me. Well; I do have a counter for that. But; don't let your emotions get the better of you. I took a deep breath.
"Won't you answer me?" Ash said. Must have been desperate, huh!. "I want to answer you; but; you didn't asked me any perticular question". I'll tease him a little too.
"Are you feeling lonely?" Ash asked; making me flustered. "N-no!.. I-I wasn't feeling lonely" I exclaimed in panic. "I was just called to- umm! Called to know; where are you?". I asked him; still little flustered.
"I'm in the outskirts of the town" Ash said. "Outskirts of the town? Why?" I asked in confusion. "Because of an unofficial meeting" he replied. "Unofficial? Meaning personal meeting!" I asked in shock.
"You could say that" Ash said. But; my worries were different and worser. "Is it a young girl; you're meeting?" I asked in horror. "I wasn't able to live up to your expectations; it seems"
Ash gave me a round about 'No'. It relieved me. But; I was expecting an answer like. Well; something more romantic like. Still; it's okay anyway.
"So;.. it's a guy!" I replied uninterested. "It seems so; Yeah!" Ash gave me a direct answer, this time. "So;.. is that guy there?" I asked him. Ash's answer was a simple "No".
"Looks like your friend has no sense of time" I said exasperated. "No; it's not on him. I came here, early" he replied. "If you had time; why didn't come home?" I asked.
"I was just thinking about this; So, I just came here" Ash replied. What's that suppose to mean? "So; how long will it take to come home?" I asked. "About; one and half hours or so;" Ash replied.
"What? Does this meeting takes that long to end?" I questioned."No; it's fairly ten or twenty minutes long meeting" he replied. "If it's that short. Why do you need more than an hour extra?" I asked in confusion.
"Meeting is scheduled to take place an hour by now" Ash said. "So; why didn't come home? You still got plenty of time; right!" I said. "I felt like waiting a bit; that's all" he replied.
"You felt like waiting? But; I... Umm!You know; an hour of wait is... You could have been come home". My words scattered around by my disappointment.
"Do you want me to come home?" Ash asked. But; words didn't come out of my mouth. How much may; I want to say 'come home'. I couldn't able do it in the after all.
"Do as you want" I said in the low tune hanging up the call. Maybe; No; definitely, Ash is mad at me. I clutched phone in my left hand. I hanged my face down. As; tears fell from my eyes.
I want to see Ash. But; I am one, who pushed him away in the first place. Why am I like this? I always end up making wrong decisions. After all this time; it's still haven't changed.
For the past fifteen years. I was building my resolve. To move on from my love of Ash in my childhood. But; all of it shattered the moment; I heard his name.
After I became Ash's wife. I can't help but think of that day. That day; I made a decision to forget my love for Ash. That day; I decided to accept all the hate, blame and misfortune.
But; Now that I came to know that. The person, I love so much is going to hate me. It's so unbearable. My head is filling up with too many suicidal thoughts. I don't want to live anymore.
Maybe; if Ash wasn't the one to marry me. That would have been so much better. I know; I was going to be hated by my husband and all his family. But; I don't want to be hated by Ash.
Only if; I wasn't there fifteen years ago. No; I am just making excuses to avoid punishment. I shouldn't make excuses. After all; that was someone's life which is taken away by me.
I would have tackled a entire world's hatred head on. But; I can't face Ash's hatred. I am too weak. Why is it has to be Ash.
