The gentle wind and sun rays woke me up by grazing my cheek slightly. The smell of the coffee and the birds sound brought a sense of cheerfulness to face that day today. My favourite song complemented I sat on my bed with closed Eyes stretched my hands before reaching for coffee. As soon as I felt the warmth of coffee my lips made a gentle smile when I opened my eyes and saw time. It's already 12 o'clock. Then I heard my husband saying "you slept more today I thought not to disturb you but it is unhealthy to sleep without having any food. I hope the coffee is good Go and freshen up I will prepare lunch." he left from there.as soon as I saw him the last day's memories washed over the smile on my face. His nonchalant behaviour scared me.I am unable to digest the fact that he is speaking like nothing happened yesterday. I feel like running away from him. In this situation, being Haste is a waste so I decided to play along with him .
When I went downstairs the pleasant fragrance of food entered my nostrils which didn't bring back the appetite which I have lost yesterday.He was arranging the foods on the table.As soon as he saw me,he bowed down and pulled a chair for me.Then he took his seat next to me after removing his apron.I finished my plate of food and decided to
serve a plate for feeding uncle.When suddenly he said, "You don't need to take care of him.There are many maids who can do his works.Go upstairs and sleep,you are very tired.""You can't order me around. I want to check on him .You have hit him very hard and you are behaving like nothing happened yesterday."
"Sir,he is perfectly alright.You can continue his regular medications," a doctor said to him while I was shouting at him.He left as soon as my husband noded his head.
He looked at me and I looked at him like asking for explanation."Previous night a doctor cleaned and dressed his wound.Today another check up session is completed.My maids will feed him after cleaning him.You are neither a doctor nor a maid. So I can't allow you near him," he said with a slightly annoyed tone.
"I am his daughter in law. I am his family.
The maid and doctor will do their job for payment only family members take care of him through his ups and downs." I have never argued this much to him.He said with a fisting hand,"So you are saying you are his family. Family members know each other very well. That's how you all live in your house right. Now tell me what you know about him except he is my biological father,husband of my mother and big business man with many threats.Do you know anything? You know nothing about him and I don't want to destroy your imagination about him. Stay out of it."
"You are right.I have just now realised that I don't know the person who I got married with.Then how will I know how other person is.Not even in my bad dream I imagined you to beat your own father just because he pretended to be paralyzed by regularly in taking paralyzing pill.."
Suddenly a thudding sound echoed along the entire building which caused me to close my eyes tightly. When I opened my eyes with the sight of messed up dishes on the dining table. When my eyes investigated for the cause of this mess,I found a deep depression on the strong wooden table where my husband's fisted hand is located,slightly bleeding.When I realised that his single blow made a depression,fear caught my soul.His bleeding hand faded my anger and stubborness. I took his hand to investigate the depth of wound. He reinjured his wound which was caused by trying to cut vegetables a day before yesterday,while preparing breakfast for me.
"Are you crazy? You reinjured it," I said annoyed.
He pulled me closer by moving my chair with his legs.I took the medicine kit from the dinning table's drawer.I used to think which weirdo will put medicine box in dinning drawer.Now I am understanding why they put it here.I felt his hot breath on my head while I am dressing his wound.
He was sniffing my hair while peppering kissed on my head. When I was about to stand up to go. He pulled me and I landed on his lap.Our eyes locked for a second,I averted my gaze downwards.We stayed with chaotic heart in each other's arm. I wiggled to get up to which he tightened his grip. "Never try to wiggle away, I won't think twice before breaking the hand with which you are trying to wiggle away,"he said to which hairs on my neck straightened to his threat.
" Your silence, your ignorance, Your discomfortness won't allow this relationship to move smoothly. You have to live with me till I die despite you want it or not. You don't know my other side, you can't handle it and I too try very much not to show it to you but you are trying so hard to see my that side. Listen believe what you saw is true.If I hide something that doesn't mean it should be always against me.It could be like I am uncomfortable or I am hiding it because you can't handle the truth. Try to understand me..."
"OK tell me what I should do when my brain asks me,what could be the reason a person is paralyzing his own father? What could be the reason when a person tries to cage his wife and threaten to abuse her if she ever tries to leave him.What should she do when he says that he is uncomfortable to share some truths and decides himself that she can't handle the truth." His eyes darkened hearing her words.
