The Unloved Wife

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 9

I couldn't have dinner. I left it in the middle. After watching him with her, all my hunger died on it's own.

I was standing in the bathroom, looking at myself in the mirror.

I wasn't beautiful like Rahma. She was an extraordinary woman. She was better than me in every aspect. She was beautiful, well mannered, rich, highly educated and I was nothing in front of her.

I was feeling self pity at a very wrong time but that's what reality was. Ehan liked everything extraordinary. Just like he liked her and not me. He was a very picky person. He would choose everything on his own then how was it possible that he would like an unwanted life partner.

He didn't like me.

He didn't love me.

These thoughts pierced through my already hurt heart. It's not easy to face the harsh reality. It's not bearable to accept that you are unwanted for that person who you love.

I loved him with all my heart. I had given him every part of me even after his harsh behavior towards me. He was the only man I have ever loved. He was special to me, very special to me but I was nothing to him.

I couldn't stop myself and started sobbing. Locked in a bathroom at a party at someone's house I was crying bitterly at my fate.

Why am I not loved?

Is something wrong with me?

When I walked out of the bathroom, I found him standing there probably waiting for me. He got time from her lover to think about me.

"Is something wrong?" He asked instantly as he saw me. Did he sense I wasn't well?

"I just have headache" I said to him.

"You had dinner?" He asked as we walked through the corridor.

"Yes" I lied. I only had a few bites of food and then my hunger died after watching him with his ex.

"We should take the leave then" He suggested.

"Okay" I nodded.

We met the couple and took our leave. I didn't see Rahma again. Probably she had left that's why he had no attraction left there. I rested my head on the seat rest and watched the world through the window.

"Feeling any better?" He broke the silence between us.

"Yes" What else can I say. It's not like he cared about me.

"You want to have ice cream, coffee or anything else?" He asked out of nowhere.

I loved ice cream and I would always ask him to get me ice cream whenever we would come outside. He never refused to get it but he hardly asked on his own.

"No" I muttered.

"Are you sure you don't want it?" He couldn't believe as I never said to ice cream. Who could. At least I couldn't.

"I am sure. Thank you" I said sadly.

"Kherat hy" He chuckled lightly.

(It's strange)

His mood was unusually very pleasant today. How he couldn't be happy after meeting his lover. The meeting left a good effect on him.

Maybe his life also would have been happier if he had married her and not me. He wasn't happy with me. No one of us was happy together then what was the point of this relationship.

I was standing at the dressing table when he approached me. He hugged me from behind. His hands tightly wrapped around me and face nestled in my hair.

"You looked very beautiful today" He whispered in my ear and sucked my earlobe.

I could see our reflection in the mirror. It seemed as if we were a happy couple romancing but reality was much different.

He looked into mirror and our gaze met. We kept looking at each other in the mirror for sometime.

"I can't take my eyes off you" He was watching me intensely.

Standing in the same position, he held my chin and turned it towards him. He captured my lips in a tender kiss. I pushed him away when he entered his tongue in my mouth.

"I am tired" I muttered looking away.

First time in two years, I refused his advances. I never did it before fearing that he would mind it and put me at a more distance. I always put him first. I never cared about myself. I was tired, in pain or something else but I always let him have me and now when I refused him he was shocked.

"Let me take care of you" He pressed his lips on my jaw.

"No. I have told you I am tired" This time I raised my voice.

"What happened to you suddenly?" He asked seriously.

"Nothing" I walked to the dressing room, left him alone.

I couldn't let him touch me when he had someone else on his mind.

I know the chapters are very emotional🥹

But you will love it when the story progresses. Trust the author that's what I can say at the moment.
