Heartbroken-Part 1

Ayush and Aditi had been married for three years now.
Ayush was the typical Indian-born boy who loved his mother's handmade food especially parathas.
Aditi was the typical American-born girl who loved her nearest McDonald's burger.
He was from a joint family.
She was from a broken family.
Yet they married.
Maybe because of love at first sight?
It was all good till two years of marriage.
The love,intimacy,their ambitions,everything was perfect.
Yet something was missing.
She didn't know how to express her fears that openly to her husband.
He didn't know why she couldn't talk that freely like she talked to her friends.He didn't even understand why she couldn't meet his family.
Even after three years of marriage.
And at the beginning of fourth year of marriage,the quarrels,timing everything stood out to point at one direction.
Divorce.
They weren't though still that out of love to divorce.
So they mutually took a decision.
They took a marriage counselling.
They met an Indian doctor who could understand them.They thought this maybe because they thought she could understand Indian culture.
Dr Noor welcomed them warmly.
She talked to Ayush.
Dr- So,Mr Ayush.What do you think your marriage is missing?
He shrugged.
He finally answered after thinking,"Trust."
Dr Noor glanced at him and looked intently at him if he was lying or was there something he was hiding.
She said,"Or maybe a frustration that is making matters worse?"
Ayush looked confused.How could a frustration lead to such situation?
Dr Noor maybe understanding answered,"Ayush,frustration related to any reason can cause big misery.Its just like a small spark which can destroy the whole relationship.Well,there is a big lot of terms I can use but let's say these are the most simplest way I am telling you.Think about it.You may go."

"What about you Aditi?" Dr Noor questioned carefully.
Aditi looked down at her shaking hands.She didn't know if doctor would laugh at her if she says the reason.
Aditi looked up to see Dr Noor was still looking at her with hopeful eyes.
Hope.
This was the whole problem for her.
She hoped if he would understand her why they didn't marry in a big fat wedding.
She hoped if he was ok with it.
She hoped if he would talk to her if he wasn't ok with anything.
It was all silly things she worried.She knew that.
She simply said,"Will hope and trust be enough?"
She wasn't sure if she was answering what lacked in her or was she asking if marriage could work only on these things.
She waited for doctor to answer.
Dr Noor simply said,"Never."
She knew it.
Dr Noor now decided to deal the situation as she understood the whole problem.
What will happen next?
