Bond To Him

#4 in the Doctor series

When are you divorcing me?"

He did nothing but stare in shock, surprise, and something else-which he shouldn't-yes, he shouldn't feel hurt.

There is no vitality or existence in this relationship, and we are drifting like two birds with no destination.

"You seem to be in haste to get rid of me?" he questioned otherwise.

"It's better for both of us... I mean for three of us. I feel bad that instead of knowing you love someone else, I married you. Maybe if I tried to speak with Dadu, he would have understood it. He would have been angry but knowing that his children's happiness lies in someone else, he could have understood it sooner or later."

I thought this wedding wouldn't affect me. I will mind my job but know things have changed. I... I started to love him which I can't say to him.

He will never leave the girl he was in love with for 3 years for a relationship of 10 days and that's me.

"Can you be without me?" I perceived a drop of rain falling on me

I don't know why did he ask me that. And from where this question came?

Maybe I will be shattered into pieces, Ekansh.

But I acted most weirdly. I laughed at him. "You are saying as if we have been together for years. Come on Ekansh, I am not a love-sick girl."

He caught my wrist gently and made me stare at him.

"Then, I will divorce you very soon!" He muttered against my face and he sounded angry again.
