India: The Passing Day

Chapter 7: Think for Yourself

Flashback

A pregnant Cynthia began to look around her and John's new home. Brian had offered them a flat in london. This was now a big move for them. This new flat was the beginning of a new life she and john would be sharing, With a child and all

Looking around she noticed it was rather small but she was not one to complain Brian had already done so much for them.

And also she was getting away from Mimi, which was not necessarily a bad thing.

Cynthia made her way to the kitchen and began to make herself a cup of tea when she heard the door slam.

She went to see who entered and saw her husband come in excited.

"Cyn, Cyn," kissing her quickly he covered her eyes with both his hands.

"John love what's going on." Cyn said. 

"Well I have a surprise and don't open your damn eyes. You will love this." John said

She laughed, "alright love now show me."

Still covering her eyes John led her to the den.
"Ok open" John said.

Cynthia looked expecting something grand, and yet all she saw was a rather old looking coffee table.

"Oh ohh wow a coffee table" she said trying to sound just excited as her husband was.

"Isn't it bloody great Cyn our own coffee table it's vintage and all that" John said showing off the table.

Cynthia just smiled, she knew that although the table was old and not much to look at she knew John bringing it home to them made him proud and for that she was happy.

"Of course it is love." Cyn said kissing john passionately.

"A coffee table for a place all our own" John said kissing her back.

Present

A week had passed in India, Cyn was still having trouble meditating, finding the feeling of devotion and total concentration was still a mystery.

John was more distant, if that was even possible. Besides that one act of Jealousy he displayed the week before John still treated her like a stranger.

And she noticed all the writing he had been doing, he claimed it was just notes or song lyrics but she could sense something else. It had to have been yoko?

She wouldn't have been surprised.

I think I'm gonna get another room. John said not looking up from his writing.

"What", Cynthia said confused.

"I need my space Cyn," He said still not looking up.

"Space?" But I thought we came here to get less space and come together she asked.

Well I sure as hell didn't john stated still not looking up.

Angry, she decided to finally say something. She could not believe him.

"Is it maybe you're trying to get space from me so you can get closer to some else." She asked.

John finally looked up to her. "What are you on about cyn."

"Why don't you tell me." She said crossing her arms. Looking at him for the answer she knew she was ready to hear.

"Your mad," He said standing up and putting away his notes.

"I'm going with Paul" he announced not looking back at her.

She just sighed and sat on the bed, knowing that yoko ono was much more trouble than she ever saw coming.
