The Father
The ride back home was absolutely silent. Avinash was trying his hardest to control his anger and not trouble Amelia. He knew he made a mistake by yelling at her. He did want to apologise but not when his anger was at its level best.
Amelia on the other hand felt guilty for saying those things. She had no right to say all those things about his father. She didn't know the whole story. She shouldn't have said that. She still felt bad when Avinash yelled at her.
She went back to their room hurriedly and didn't wait for him. She changed her clothes and slept on the bed, taking the blanket over her head. Avinash entered the room and sighed looking at Amelia. He entered the bathroom to take a hot shower.
Amelia was fidgeting on the bed and was not able to sleep, despite her numerous attempts. Avinash entered the room and plopped on the bed. He went under the blanket and kept his hand on Amelia's arm.
"I'm sorry, Mia" He softly said, gave a light squeeze to her arm, and withdrew his hand. Amelia took advantage of her fake sleeping scenario and moved closer to Avinash, hoping he would cuddle her by throwing his hand around her body. But he didn't. Frowning, she turned around and opened her eyes to see Avinash asleep.
Avinash's face was relaxed. Amelia raised her hand to caress his face. She tucked his cheek, they were softer than she imagined. Amelia always craved closeness. She always wanted someone to hug and cuddle with.
She hugged him tightly, knowing how much he had gone through. He was amazing but he didn't know that. He didn't believe that. Amelia has not missed the look he gave himself everything he saw himself in the mirror.
She felt bad for him. Deep down somewhere in her heart, this guy, from day one started making his space. Amelia, unknowingly, gave a chance to this marriage when she wanted to know more about him.
She didn't give him a chance because she felt bad for him. She did that because he cared for her and did all the little things that matter, like not sleeping before ensuring she's asleep, waiting for her after office to finish her work. All those little things showed Amelia what a true gem Avinash was. Avinash is. She's happy she got to see this side of his.
"I'm sorry too, Avi" She whispered. She lifted her head, kissed Avinash's cheek, and slept hugging him. She knew that all of the things had taken a toll on him. But she wanted him to know that she was here for him.
*****
The following morning, Amelia was the first one to wake up from her deep slumber. She opened her eyes and blinked a few times to adjust. She found herself tangled with Avinash's body.
Avinash was still slightly snoring, Amelia took the advantage of his sleeping state and raised her hand to caress his cheek. The movement made Avinash wake up. He slowly opened his eyes, before Amelia could retrieve her hand.
