Mute love

school

After two days

“ What happened to you? ”
I diverted my gaze to my left where he was coming from wearing his wrist watch.
His open tie hanging around his neck and those messy wet hairs were spreading charms.
Guess, he just got a shower.
And by the time he was standing in front of me I was able to smell him. Fresh and attractive.

“ Why are you lost madam? ” he asked, waving his hand in front of me.
I shook my head as no and passed him the newspaper I was holding.
I just read the headline which says the school where Adhya used to study has been sealed by authorities.
How??
I mean, yesterday he was talking about transferring her to other school and today suddenly this news.
“ Are you thinking about this?? ”
I nodded.

He let out a sigh before slightly throwing that newspaper on the coffee table.
“ It's not a big deal! There are so many schools in the city, nothing is going to change because one is withdrawn from the list. ”

Ooo!!!
Maybe he already knew this is going to close that's why he was talking about transfer.

“ Okay?? ” I nodded.
I moved closer to him to fix his neck tie. When I was making knot he was staring at me, without any expression.
I exhaled as soon as it was done.
I raised my hands to fix his wet and cold hair. I brushed my fingers against them
For some time I stared at his eyes , my smile faded, those pretty eyes, express so much, shine so much but… … … .

Hide too much!!
Specially from me.
My heart dropped at the thought.
He said he would tell me about the guy he encountered yesterday. But he never did that.
He should tell me right. I can't speak but I expect him to speak to me. All I want is transparency.
Is that difficult for him to understand this?
I am his wife but I feel like only for name. Like he is not ready to take a fresh start with me but just married me so that he can keep me for future, when he will be ready.
‘I will wait for him ’ Damn easy to say. But I can't. I have expectations from him and it hurts. He is good, sweet, caring and sometimes lovely but it happens in casual relationships too.
What a big deal!!
We are not in a casual relationship.
We are fucking married!
He is busy with work I can understand, but if he is busy with something else I must know. I have noticed his behaviour since the day we got married.
That day, his sudden outburst
And after that his behaviour.
Always getting himself locked in that study room.
If he had some problem he must share it with me. I must know if my husband is going through something. I don't care about any fact but I want to claim my right to him. I have the right to know everything about him.

I felt his touch on my palm, he caressed it with his thumb, before placing a kiss on my fingers.
I closed my eyes, this isn't giving me affection right now.
I pulled back my hand from his and at the same time Adhya walked down the stairs “ Dadda, your coat!! ”
I looked behind his back, she was carrying his coat.
She was also in school uniform, but different from the previous one.

“ Oh baby, thank you so much!! ” she handed him coat “ Dadda hurry!! I don't want to get late for my new school!! ” she said smiling and my heart dropped.
Why am I unaware of this??
I looked at her and she did too.
“ Dadda, can I tell her now?? ” She looked at him and he was silent.
He looked at me, I was already looking at him it's clear from his face that he knows I am offended by this.
“ Ansh… … … … . ” I didn't let him finish and walked away from there.

That's great!!!
He willingly hides things from me. Am I supposed to feel hurt?
This was a little thing but I should know that . Am I not the part of family.

Aditya

I sighed as she walked away.
Adhya looked at me, giving me a questionable look.
“ Don't worry!! ” I whispered, patting her shoulder.
I walked towards Anshika.
She was serving food on the table, back facing me.
I walked closer and put my hands on her shoulder . I saw Adhya walking beside me and taking her seat. She was just in front of my eyes, smiling at me.
I smiled back.
Anshika slightly removed my hands from her shoulder and the put them back on her shoulder, slightly rubbing my thumb.
I placed a soft kiss on her shoulder “ Anshu, I wanted to tell… … ” this time she jerked off my hands.
“ Fine, I am sorry, let's talk when you want!! ” I said softly.
I was waiting for her response but she just slightly pushed me and walked towards Adhya.
She sat beside her and started serving her breakfast.
“ Mumma, are you angry at me!! ”
In response she just smiled and shook her head as no. She kissed her forehead and fed her.

Obviously!! She is only mad at me right now!! I need a good time to make it up for her.
I know I should have told her at least about Adhya’ transfer but I just… …… .
I sighed.
I know I should tell her about the guy we encountered at beach I know I should tell her that I am feeling sad to hear Soumya cheated me and I am up to prove that wrong.
But I can't tell her. I love Soumya, I care for her but I shouldn't say that in front of Anshika. She would definitely feel hurt.
After all, she is my wife now.

I was sitting in my cabin when someone walked in my office.
I lifted my eyes to look at her, I knew it's her already when she entered without knocking.
My jaw hardened and my fingers gripped on the table in fury.

“ Whatsup Jiju!!! ” she pulled a chair back before taking a seat.
I didn't answer.
“ Why are you looking so serious?? And why did you call me here, did you mess up again? ”

“ Even if I did, it's none of your business!! ” I stated harshly. It's not a humour at all.
“ Sorry?? ” she thinned her eyebrows.
“ I called you here just to ask you the truth!! ”
She was still confused.
“ Okay!! Whatever truth you want to ask, ask!! But what's with that tone, I don't think I deserve to be treated like your employees when you yourself asked me to come here!! ”
I sighed.
Offended easily.
Seriously!!
After killing my wife, she is showing me this attitude.

" Why did you do that?? "
" Do what?? ”
