Most relationships tend to fail. Not because of the absence of love. love is always present. Its just that one was being loved too much and the other wasn't being loved enough - Unknown

@@@@

I went to open the door. It was my brother ,he came to discuss something related to office work. As it was urgent i went with him half halfheartedly.

While discussing office work my mind was still wandering about our sweet moment. I realized that you were responding to my touch,I tried so many ways to make you talk to me freely but nothing worked so I decided to show you my love by my touches and kisses then may be you would open up to me more and at the same time I decided not to make you uncomfortable.

I came back after half an hour and you were sleeping peacefully, I half expected that you would be awake waiting for me. I was disappointed and taking a heavy breathe I took my night clothes and went to bathroom to change.

After few minutes I came out and settled beside you on bed. I looked at your face your breath was even. I couldn't help but smile at how cute you were looking in your sleep. I leaned forward and kissed you on your forehead and covering both of us with blanket.

I moved close to you and slowly lifted your head and placed it on my chest and wrapped my arm around you, hugging you tightly, kissed your head. I slowly drifted to sleep peacefully after 2 months.

Next day I woke up and found your side of bed empty. I made a note to myself to tell you to be in our room when I woke up from sleep. I always wished to see you when I woke up early morning but unfortunately that didn't happen even for once.

Sighing I went to bathroom to take a shower. When I came to living room, all were waiting for me. My bhabhi asked you to sit beside me. She started serving food but I wanted you to serve me so I asked you to fill my plate with salad which is near you.

I don't like eating it for my breakfast but I ate it because i love eating food which is served by you. You finished breakfast quickly as our niece is pestering you to give her some chocolates so you took her to kitchen.

While eating, my brother told me that they are planning to go Banglore that day for house warming party of my bhabhi's brother, also they are taking mom with them. I just nodded my head thinking why they are not asking us to accompany them.

After finishing breakfast when I was about to go to our room to get ready, my brother stopped me, took me aside and told me that he had planned this trip for 3 days to give us privacy and also told me to enjoy ourselves as nobody will be in home except us.

I blushed and thanked him.I reached our room and saw you folding clothes and keeping them in cupboard. I silently came in and hugged you from behind. You were shocked and tried to free yourself saying someone might come.

Sighing I released you and turned you around so that we can face each other.

I moved towards your ear and whispered huskily.

" Am leaving you now but tonight nobody is gonna disturb us"

You looked at me confusedly.

" Because everyone is starting to Bangalore in few hours, only we both will be in home. We will have all the house to ourselves for 3 days" saying this I winked at you and kissed your cheek. I noticed how your mouth formed to an O shape. I chuckled and went near the door.

Before stepping out, I turned back, walked towards the table picked a packet and placed it in your hands.

" Wear this tonight. Cannot wait to see you in this. Will try to come home early . bye" saying this I went to office.

That packet contains a black Saree which I bought it for you. I thought to give it previous night but you slept. I was excited for night. I continuosly kept on checking the time.

At 6 in the evening I started to leave, but to my bad luck my manager came to me and asked me to complete some presentation before leaving.

Cursing my fate and my manager I started doing that and tried my best to complete it as soon as possible.

By the time I finished my work it was 8 pm. I rushed to home but due to traffic it took me an hour to reach home.

I excitedly pressed the calling bell and was eagerly waiting to see you in that Saree. I heard foot steps and realized that you were coming to open the door.

When the door opened I rushed in and hugged you tightly whispering 'missed you'.

You didn't hugged me back, after few seconds I released you hearing a throat clearing sound.

I turned to see that 3 girls were sitting there on sofa and looking at us smiling and blushing. I slightly blushed, moving away from you and muttered a sorry.

After few minutes of silence, you introduced them to me and told me that they were your close friends, came to meet you.

I talked to them for few more minutes and excused myself to take a shower and rushed to our room.

After having a shower I came to living room and saw that you 4 were immersed in your discussion. I stood there silently and watched you for sometime then I realized that you were not wearing the Saree which I presented to you.

I noticed that the time is almost 11 pm and wondered why your friends are still here as it was getting late.

I went to kitchen to drink water. After few minutes you came and was searching for something. I hugged you from behind and kissed your side face.

" Did you opened that packet?"

"Yeah, it was a Saree."

" Don't you like it ?"

"It was nice. Thanks"

" then why didn't you wear that for me"

"When I was about to wear my friends came so didn't get a chance to change as we were immersed in our discussion"

"OK no problem. When they leave now , you can wear it" I said smiling and turned you around in my arms.

I was excited to make this night wonderful for both of us.

"Woah.... "

"What ?"

"Actually they planned a girls night today and came here unexpectedly. They....they..want to stay here tonight. " you said looking at me sadly.

Hearing your reply all my plans vanished. I was utterly disappointed but as usual hided my feelings and faked a smile , cupped your cheeks in my hands kissed you on your forehead and told you to enjoy and that I won't disturb you tonight.

I went to your friends and told them to make themselves comfortable.

You friends said thanks and told how happy they were when they got a call from you this morning and asked them to come to our home.

I was shocked. Few minutes back in kitchen, you told me that they came unexpectedly and planned for a girls night out but you were the one who planned and asked them to come. You just lied on my face.

I was really sad and angry not because of your friends visit but it was your lie that made me angry. What is the need to tell lies , if you want you could have called them nobody is stopping you or saying anything against your wish.

I smile awkwardly and went to our room. I don't know what to understand by this behavior of yours. Lots of questions popped up in my mind.

Did you just called them to stay away from me?? Is this the actual reason behind your lie?

Are you that scared to stay alone with me in house that you asked your friends to give you company?

Don't you want to spend time with me alone?

As i was so engrosssed in my thoughts, I heard the door open and I know who it is so I didn't looked up to see.

I knew your presence in the room, but I don't want to say anything in my anger which I will regret later, so I kept quite.

Few more minutes passed, I heard you coughing trying to gain my attention.

"Why did you lie to me?"

"Am sorry, it has been a long time since I met my friends, moreover nobody is there in home so I thought to spend some time with them so I called them."

" You could have said this before itself right. Then why did you lie to me that your friends planned this ?"

" I was scared that you might not like having my friends in home so I lied."

" this is your home as well, you are free to call your friends."

" sorry"

"Fine. But don't lie to me ever again " i said softly.

"Ok"

Though I was not convinced with your explanation, I let it go.

" Go , take care and have fun."

" Do you need anything ?"

"No i am good"

"OK ..gud night"

"Gud night"

You left the room. I was really confused and frustrated ,lot of questions were going on my mind.

I thought to make this night different from previous nights but it turned out to be a bad night.

I hate lies, especially i hate it when the person I love the most lie to me.I know it is a very small lie but it is not necessary to lie especially when our relation is not normal as that of other married couple.

I didn't came out that night and sleep was far away from me. After a lot of tossing & turning on bed, I tried to forget that incident as there is no use thinking about it and decided to make sure that you never lie to me. Deciding this I slept very late that night.

Next day when i woke up your friends left to their places already as they have some work. Neither of us didn't talked about previous night. After having breakfast, I went to office.

While entering office, I got a call from my best friend and he invited me to a party as he is celebrating his third anniversary and asked me to bring you as he didn't attend our marriage due to some personal problem. After our marriage got fixed i didn't met him due to his busy schedule but we were in touch through phone calls.

At first I thought to skip the party but later decided to take you as we both didn't went out after marriage and moreover I want to introduce my friends and their families to you. So that you can be friends with their wives.

I called you and told you to be ready by 7' o clock. When i came home, you were ready wearing a red Saree looking beautiful as usual.

We reached the restaurant on time and went to private area where the party was goingon. I introduced you to my friends. You were mingling with them.

After sometime, I was sitting at bar counter sipping a beer. I am a social drinker. I don't want to drink alcohol that night as I thought you don't like it.

My friends were having shots and after few minutes some started talking about their married life, how their life has changed after marriage and how they are being treated in home by their wives and bachelors started talking about their girlfriends.

I kept quite just listening to their conversation as I knew some of them were high due to the drinks.

I was looking around for you and found you talking to other women. As I was engrossed watching you, observing your every move I felt a tap in my shoulder.

I turned and found my friend watching me with naughty glint in his eyes.

"What?"

"Nothing ....just watching my friend who is drooling over his wife."

"Erm..I ...i was not drooling. I.. I Was just looking at her "

" Dude....I know what you are doing, I too passed this stage. Don't forget this is my third anniversary. But only difference is my wife also used to steal glances whenever we are in parties like this. In your case you are staring at your wife as if she is an unreachable thing"

I remained silent. He continued after few minutes.

"You like your wife.don't you?"

I looked at you and without taking my eyes off I answered.

" No. I love her"

" woah.... That's cool. Did you confessed your feelings?"

" No"

" why?"

" I didn't get a chance till now"

"Dude.. she is your wife who stays with you in your house. Didn't you get a minute in these months to confess your feelings?"

I wanted to tell you about my feelings for you but I decided against it as I want you to love me without any hesitations .I don't want to confess my feelings and pressure you to love me back so I decided to give you time to get comfortable with me. But it didn't happen as you were away from me for nearly 2 months and when you come back to home I decided to confess my feeling . But unfortunately previous night I was upset because of your lie.

"What is it bro.. why are you silent? Is everything alright?"

"I don't know. " I replied honestly.

I want to share my pain which I have been suffering from starting of our marriage as I couldn't bear the suffering anymore. I wanted to well that out to someone. He is my best friend and he is like a brother to me.

"Are you both happy? "

"Now a days though we were meeting rarely i know from your voice in our phone conversations that something was troubling you. I have been observing you from few days, till last week you immersed yourself in work. What is bothering you? You know more than friend you are like a brother to me . If you want you can share it. "

"Iam not able to understand my wife. She doesn't talk to me properly. I never got a chance to spend time with her in these 3 months of our marriage. We were away from each other for 2 months due to her health . She never talks to me much. I always wanted her to be comfortable around me and I want her to talk to me freely , but things are not happening accordingly. I don't know why she is so distant with me. That's the problem, i am unable to bear this. I don't know what is in her mind."

I decided to share my feelings with him. I didn't tell him all the things that happened between us but I just told him that after our marriage we were away from each other for 2 months due to your health and your silent nature. He listened to me patiently without interrupting me.

"oh....did you ask her the reason?"

"yeah.... She asked me to give her some time as she need to adjust to this new relation."

"hmmm.. the moment I saw you both I thought something was wrong between you both."

"I don't know what to do and how to make her comfortable with me. Even if I know the reason then I would try to change her behavior towards me but I don't know the exact reason of what is bothering her."

"May be she doesn't want to get married? "

"Before marriage, I asked her whether she agreed to this marriage willingly or not. She told me that the marriage was fixed with her consent."

" She could have lied to you. Because of her parents she could have agreed to marry you."

"No I don't think so. "

"What if she loved someone? What if her first love was a failure?"

Hearing his question my heart stopped beating for a second. My blood boiled thinking that you love some one.Is it a possible reason behind your behavior? I never thought about this... what if you loved someone?

"I don't know. I don't think she love someone." I replied controlling my anger.

"what will you do if she loved someone and that is the reason for her current behavior?"

I remained silent, I can't even able to imagine you with some one else.

"Tell me bro, What will you do if she has loved someone before marriage. And is unable to forget him? Will you leave her?"

I was stunned by his question. I didn't expected this. Will I be able to bear if you love someone other than me. No how can I leave you? You are my wife now. I imagined my life with you, if you are not there in it then it is impossible for me to live.

" why are you asking this?"

" just answer me honestly bro.."

" ok..if i knew that she loved someone before marriage then I wouldn't have married her but.."

"But.."

" But now we are married and also I love her so much that I can wait for her to understand me and to love me back. I cannot loose her now no matter what happens" I replied confidently and looked at him to see that he was beaming.

"What? Why are beaming like that?"

"I expected this answer but wanted to hear from you. So I will tell you one thing which may be reason for her behavior"

" What is that reason? And how the hell do you know it, as few minutes back you met her"

" I knew your wife she is like a sister to me but she doesn't know me. Do you remember my cousin sister Pooja?"

" yeah.. I remember last year I attended her marriage along with you. You both are like close friends than brother and sister right."

"Yes.. your wife is her best friend. I never met your wife but i saw her in my sister's college photos. "

" so..? What do you know about my wife?"

I could hear my heart beating so fast as I was so tensed to hear what he knows about you.

"She loved some one" he said taking a deep breathe.

"What !!"

"I said she was in love with someone before your marriage"

I was shocked is an understatement
