Ch 23
A few days after the last chapter
Damian pov
I enter the bed room only to see mar'i standing near the window , with a bunch of papers in her hand , it was raining heavily today , she turned toward me , I gave her a smile but she kept a strait face.I entered the room and closed the behind me , she walked toward me and handed me the papers.
" what are these ? " I asked innocently
" can't you read , *sigh* they are divorce papers " she said , and with those words everything around me stopped it was as if the first few minutes of silence before the world comes to an end and I hadn't even signed the paper yet
"have I done something wrong mar'i , w..we can ta..talk it out " I tried to say
" You have done everything wrong damian , you never took me as your wife , even if you did I don't care , I'm not happy living with you damian , and i want to leave " she said impatiently
" if this is the problem then I can change , mar'i please don't go , unknowingly you have become a very huge part of my life , I need you" i said tears threatening to fall from my eyes
" I am not going to waste my life waiting for someone to change , either you sign that paper or kill me, anyways life is useless living with you " she said, each and every word of hers stabbing me right in the heart
"if it is what you wish " I said and signed the paper, I didn't want my beloved to go but I didn't want to force myself on her either. She took the papers and left, leaving me alone forever with my guilt and sorrow
I started to shake and woke up only to find myself in the arms of a worried Mar'i
"Damian are you okay " she asked
"I'm fine " I said and got up to walk to the washroom, I washed my face, the water drained down the drain along with all my sorrows but not my guilt . What if Mar'i is not happy with me and thinks of leaving me. Am I not a good husband?
Mar'i's pov
I was worried about my husband I know he has a bad past as an assassin but it's not like him to wake up with a nightmare. I hope he's okay. I'm such a pathetic wife, my husband doesn't feel free to share his problems with me. I hope I can be a better wife to him ?
Time skip to evening there is a gala held at Wayne manor
Mar'i's pov
It was time for the gala I was all dressed and all the guest had already started coming, grandfather wanted to introduce me to everyone but I don't think Damian was happy with this he has been sad since the time he saw that dream, I'm really worried about him but I can't talk to him right now maybe later or maybe someday when ever he's ready
Few minutes later after Bruce introduced Mar'i to everyone
Damian's pov
I was at fathers gala trying to avoid Mar'i as much as possible, I don't know why but I was not able to face her while I trying to get away from her I bumped into a guy
"sorry" I said
"it's alright, hey you are damian wayne right? Mar'i's husband " he said, I am and I hope I always will be but I can't predict the future can I
"yes " I answered him
" I am her friend, Benjamin , I don't think she has mentioned me has she " he asked
"sadly she hasn't " I said but I wouldn't blame her it's my fault I never really spoke to her as a husband
" of course she hasn't, that's just Mar'i I guess , but it's OK I'm used to it, but let me tell you one thing Mar'i hasn't really been in a relationship for this long so any mistake from your end and its over, look I'm not trying scare you it's just facts " he said I don't usually get threatened would easily but what ever he said was true
" you can forget to breathe but never ever forget her birthday , you do remember her birthday right? " he asked as I looked confused 'how did I not know my wife's birth date '
"uhh.... That's okay I guess but never forget your wedding anniversary, Mar'i always liked the concept of anniversary, you remember your wedding anniversary right? " he asked, at this moment I wanted to kill myself or I might just die with the guilt. He looked at me with an awkward smile and made a lame excuse and left
I had never been this miserable in my life, I wasn't interested in the gala and decided to go to my room. I was walking to my room when I saw Benjamin pulling Mar'i to the garden, even if I am a terrible husband I still don't like other men touching my wife in any way. So I decided to follow them, I stood at a spot where I could hear what they are saying but they couldn't see me
Mar'i's pov
I was searching for Damian when a hand pulled me to the garden, I realized that it was Benjamin my old friend
"Benji it's so good to see you again " I said
" who on earth have you married " he asked not paying attention to my joy of seeing him after so long
" damian wayne " I simply said a lil confused
" that guy doesn't remember your birthday , he doesn't even remember when you both got married " he said
" dates don't matter , love does " I said
" you think he loves you , he's not a good husband " he asked , and for some reason I couldn't answer
" he doesn't love you , you know how does " he said taking my hand in his , he was coming closer , I didn't like it I pushed him away and slapped him
" just cause you are my friend doesn't mean you can say anything about damian wayne , he's my husband " I said and started walking to the manor
" am I a good one though " a voice from the shadows asked , I couldn't see anyone but I knew who it was , I couldn't feel his presence any longer and so I decided to go to his room
I entered the room and found damian sitting on the bed
" he wasn't wrong " damian said
" he wasn't wrong about what , that you don't love me or that you are not a good husband " I asked
" I..I do love you " he said
" you are my husband damian , no one else gets to decide that you are a good or a bad husband , and you are a great husband , and if I your wife say thaat then you should take my word for it " I said
" you're only saying this to make me feel better " he said i could see the sadness in his eyes
" damian_" i tried to speak
" I think we should get a divorce , I don't think I can keep you happy " he said , I knew he didn't want it
I walked to him and he held my waist his head resting on my stomach as i ran my hand through his hair (mar'i was standing and damian was sitting on the bed )
" what makes you feel that I'm not happy " I asked but he didn't answer " I'm as happy as I can be , *sigh* I know you think that I don't even mean a single word I say , but It's only words and words are all I have , to prove my love to you " I said and he looked up to me in confusion
" yes , i love you Damian Wayne , and I always have , ever since I was with dad , he told me about you , you seemed so different from what Talia told me , I was curious to know you the real you , so I would come to the manor every night and keep an eye on , I realised we weren't that different , i started liking you , you looked adorable when you were mad and tim or uncle jay , you looked so innocent when asleep , so deep in sleep you didn't even realise that I kissed you " I said and sat on his lap facing him , he looked as cute as ever
" I have always loved you damian , and being here , in your arms , its all I have ever desired , being called your wife is an honour , why wouldn't I be happy " I said
I was sitting in his lap , his grip around my waist tightened , his head resting on my shoulder he whispered " I love you "
" I love you too " I said ,
"is that why you had a sketch of me in your book " he asked
"yes , and you shouldn't just go through other people's things without informing them " I said
"it wasn't 'other people's' it was my wife's " he said , we stayed that way for sometime , before eventually changing into something comfortable .As usual , I slept on the left side of the bed and damian on the right , but then I felt an arm pulling toward him .
" I thought you said that I should sleep on the left side of the bed and you on the right " i said
"that was when I didn't know you " he said
" And do you know me now " I asked with a smile
"I don't know you but I love you "
The End
