I don't know why but I felt so angry hearing him that I wanted to tear him apart. Only when Rose held my hand and shouted "sir..." I came back to my sense and immediately left his collar.
Arranging his collar I apologized "I... I am sorry."
The man swallowed hard maybe he was shocked seeing my behavior like the way I was. To hide my embarrassment I looked sideways not knowing what to say next. But thanks to god that he himself brought up the conversation.
"Should we talk?" he asked hesitantly.
"Sure" I nodded.
We walked to the side of the garden and stood facing towards her. She seems to be lost in deep thought. She was skinny and weak but her eyes were cold and tough like the last day I saw her. Her gaze was fixed on the rose plant few meters away from her. I was not able to take my eyes off her.
"Like I told you she is addicted to medicine. Whatever medicine she finds she eats it without any thought" I heard James saying.
"You said she takes it whenever she is depressed. Any idea about why she gets depressed?" I asked still my eyes fixed on her.
"Well I have no idea why she gets depressed..."
"You are her husband and you don't even know why she gets depressed... unbelievable" I said in disappointment.
"Yeah, she never says anything" he replied instantly.
"What do you mean by never says? It's your duty to ask her and figure it out" I said rolling my eyes.
"I wish I could but she is dumb" he replied.
I passed shocking gaze to him "You mean she cannot talk? She is mute."
"Yeah and God knows how to deal with this dumb people she is so difficult person. If I knew it before and her parents didn't lie about her then I would have never married a dumb."
"Mute... its mute calling someone dumb is not polite" I said controlling my anger glancing back at her.
There was a silence for a second until I asked "by the way you said she is addicted to medicines. Why do you keep medicine within her reach then?"
"Ah! I did it so many times I have hide all the medicine even threw them all but god knows from where she gets them back. I took her everywhere every hospital, every doctor but they say they cannot help and last time I took her to psychiatric who suggested me to admit her in rehabilitation center to make her get rid of medicine addiction. Your centre is my only hope" he said taking deep breath.
"I will see what I can do."
"It is very grateful of you Mr. Powell. I will deal with the necessary procedure and take my leave..." he said and walked away.
"Mr. Brown" I called him out. Hearing my voice he turned towards me before I said "I... I am sorry I grabbed your collar. She made me recall about someone so I happened to grab your collar in anger..."
"It's okay Mr. Powell" he turned back but I hurriedly asked him out "and by the way what's her name?"
"Lisa James Brown..." he replied turning his head and walked away.
Finally I knew her name but a thought of jealousy crossed my mind instantly "I just asked her name is it compulsion to attach his name with her."
When James left slowly I stepped towards Lisa trying to deal with my anxiety. Heart was pounding out loud with rhythm on my ear. I was swallowing hard. I had strange mixed feeling inside me. Was it the happiness of seeing her again or the sadness seeing her in that condition?
I sat beside her wanting to speak out but no words cracked on my head. I was mute like her that very moment. I was not able to take my gaze away from her. Despite her weakness she was still beautiful just the way I had seen her for the last time. When I was not able to take it anymore I felt tears rolling down my eyes.
I looked away from her but I felt her head on my shoulder. When I glanced back at her she had rested her head on my shoulder. I wiped my tears and took my hand towards her to touch her cheeks but my phone buzzed on my pocket which startled me. I hurriedly pulled my hand back and fetched my phone from my pocket and answered it.
