"he must be waiting for YOU" Mayuree was angrily mimicking her mother's dialogue, and waiters are looking at her like she has a big screw loose inside her head
she looked down at her watch and let out a harsh breath.
He is late
1 AND HALF HOUR LATE...
She felt like a stupid waiting for someone like this.
how insensitive one can be when a wife waiting in a bloody restaurant on the day of your wedding anniversary.......
So,
AFTER 1 HOUR AND 45 MINUTES AND 6 GLASS OF WATER LATER.....finally he graced her with his presence!
He came!
in all his glory, IN THE NAME OF ALL frigging GREEK GODS!
even being a member of opposite sex she had always envied him, how can someone be this good looking!
how old he would be, she often wondered, she never asked, they hardly knew each other
Judging by the whole look, probably in his late 30 !?
but damn it all she really had one gorgeous specimen of a husband, she for once indulged, she literally just let her eyes roam all over him for her sanity's sake,
It had to feed on something after all.....she never asked for anything, he owed her that much
stop eye f****** him for god sake,...... she cursed herself inwardly.
He just nodded at her direction before unbuttoning his blazer and taking the seat opposite of her's
''hello Mayur'' He simply greeted
Damn His Voice.......
just take a deep breath and be professional, your emotions and your husband can't stay in one place, specially after all his A-holic behaviour
not after today!
nope!
not after that manager addressed you as Ms.Parrish
"we hardly know each other so, it's Miss Parrish to you, Mr.King" She corrected him with a sweet smile......as he just raised his perfect eyebrows.
She always wanted to address him by his first name but ever since his proposal.....so be it
beside, actions speaks louder than words right
It was crystal clear he didn’t want to be here, he didn’t even the decency to come in time......
meanwhile a waiter arrived to take their orders, but she was just too frustrated to order anything, she sent him back giving him a hard stare and he understood and left hurriedly.
she could actually feel from the corner of her eyes that her husband was trying to fight his smile.....
''why didn't you order anything ?'' He asked
"because I'm not here to eat.....I'm here to talk" She replied without taking her eyes off him
''About what!'' He asked, tilting his head confusingly
"come now......in 10 minute you'll get this "important call" and then you have to cut this whole thing short so__" She rolled her eyes before saying that
''Excuse me, you know, ----I think that's a.....'' He started speaking when she cut him
"I'll talk and you may listen." She said and he contained himself giving her an opening
"look,......
we both know the reality of this marriage, it's been 3 years and i did my best to understand whatever your situation had been....... that you were busy and wanted to focus on business and you are workaholic i get it, but__" She looked at him with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes "we got married and i could not find one reason for your unnecessary rudeness or aloofness or even you completely ignoring my existence___if my only fault is being married to you which no one in the world has any idea about even today, apart from our families......i think 3 years of exile is enough punishment for me"
with that sentence his expression turned from blank to frosty......not that she realized because of how engrossed she was in pouring out whatever inside her heart infront of him, he realized where this conversation was heading
"We should end whatever it is and be on our separate ways.....i can assure you nothing will affect our father's business relationship and friendship, I'm sure they'll understand" She softly finished and looked at him
by then his expression changed into something of very much unreadable. he just listened without saying a thing......
after few minutes waiter came back again but instead of ordering he just pulled out a 100 dollar bill to put it on the table and left.......
without saying anything
Not even a good bye!
And....she just realized what she had done, she gave him a piece of her mind, she should have felt good,....
Right ?
satisfied in fact......
instead, suddenly she felt empty!
She had resentments,....
so many complaints
there was nothing to complain about now.....
she already said everything she was bottling up inside her
That's it ?
but why did she do that ?
she should have let him talk at least right ?
after all so much efforts, so much time she took in getting ready........
No! He had enough time to talk.....you did the right thing, Mayur. This is for the best. Yes!
Her mind screamed back at her
she sat there until she couldn't see his retreating back.......
