" Why are you kissing me? Go and look for your ex-girlfriend." She said while looking away but not getting away from me. I leaned closer and kissed her cheeks. " You are my wife, darling. Why would I look for someone else?" " You invited your girlfriend here. " " No , I didn't. Sharad did." I answered and she was still looking away. " I know that. She told me." " You met her and also talked to her? " " Yes. She came looking for me earlier. She said a lot of things about you." She said while looking at me this time and I waited for her to continue. " Yes. So far it is. Then?" " She told me that you seemed to have changed. You were not like this when you were dating her. You never picked her up from college or the workplace, you never lowered down to the level of her eyes to talk to her as you do to me and she saw it at the airport. You were never possessive of her the way you are with me as you hold my wrist and drag me away from the negativity as you did at the airport. She told me so many things. She said that she realized it now that you have finally....." She stopped and looked me in the eyes. " Finally... I have fallen for someone so deeply and finally I understand the meaning of love and the necessity of it." I completed it and she didn't say anything, just looked at me searching for sincerity in my eyes while my heart was dancing inside my rib cage. " You were never in love, Rudra." She whispered while touching my cheeks and I inhaled a breath, " You had infatuation or maybe you were afraid to break your friend's heart. You never made her feel special." She said softly and I kissed her palm. Instagram: @__aehrsy__
