Mehrbano is a kind enthusiastic girl entrapped in a loveless marriage with a cold man Ehan Haider. She had fully invested herself in her marriage but she got nothing but pain. She never knew her heart would be shattered into pieces.
She: You have my...
Our bare bodies laid next to each other, skin touching and head resting on the same pillow.
His eyes were fixed at me. I would look at his face for sometime and just avert my gaze. It was always difficult for me to maintain eye contact with him.
His eyes fascinated me more than any other part of him.
The necklace was tied around my neck for the whole time.
He started caressing my cheeks with the back of his fingers tenderly. I closed my eyes feeling his featherly touch. I was forgetting every hard feelings towards him on his affectionate behavior.
"Did you miss me?" He murmured, breaking the meaningful silence between us.
What should I tell him? I asked myself because I didn't know the answer myself. My heart was divided into two on this matter. One half was happy to be away from him for a few days and one half actually missed him.
"Yes" I whispered unknowingly even when I had no intention of doing it.
"I missed you more" He whispered back.
He then pulled me into his arms and tightly wrapped his arms around me. My head rested in the crook of his neck. One hand rested on his chest.
"I missed every part of us. I missed my home" He ran his fingers through my hair. His voice was serious.
"I am not going on any trip again" He uttered in displeasure at the end.
I laid there in his arms silently. I was feeling overwhelmed today. If only he behaved softly with me daily.
I don't ask for anything big. I never wanted him to be in heed over heels for me. I never had such a prospective about our married life. I always wanted a normal life with normality in every aspect.
Is it too much to ask for?

"Mehr!" I heard him screaming once again.
I didn't know what to do. The paratha was about to burn and he was continuously screaming from the bedroom making me go mad in the kitchen.
"Mehrbano! Where the hell are you?" I turned off the stove and rushed into the bedroom.
"Yes" I asked standing away from him. He looked furious, just in the morning.
"I had kept my documents here on the study table and they aren't here anymore. Why you touched my important things. Where the fuck you have put them?" He snapped at me.
"I cleaned the study table so I just put them in the drawer" I told him and handed him his documents from the drawer.
"How many times have I asked you to not touch my study table. Can't you get this in your mind?" He snatched the documents from my hand. He sounded as if I touched his wealth and not a wooden table.
"It was getting very dirty" I explained.
"Whatever" He uttered, putting the pages in his laptop bag.
"My tie" He asked calmly this time and stood in front of me. I silently tied his tie around his neck. I don't know why but he always felt it difficult to tie a tie.
He was a shameless man. One minute before he was angry at me and now he was behaving as if he didn't snap at me. I could never understand his behavior.
After eating his breakfast, he left for the office. Standing at the main door, I said goodbye to him.
"I will be late today" He informed me and left after quickly pressing his lips at my cheeks.
It had been a few days since he came back from his trip. Everything was the same as before. His behavior was the same. If he wanted he would be gentle towards me and if he wanted he would treat me as a nobody in my own house.
Was it even my house? My inner self laughed.
I believe I have no house. The place where I spent many years of my life with my doting mother belonged to a man I simply never liked and had any relationship with and where I was living nowadays, this place belonged to the man who always wronged me.
I had two men in my life. My father and my husband and both had hurt me numerous times without any fault of mine.
I never actually understood what wrong I had done to them to deserve this treatment of them.
The next day I got busy with the house chores after he left for office. When I was finally done after showering, I laid down in bed and explored my cell phone.
I had received many texts from an unknown number. I opened the chat to see the contents. The chat had a few pictures and some texts.
My eyes widened when I looked at the pictures and the last message.
I enjoyed the last night with the love of my life.
