Maybe I am unlucky in others life?

As soon as I became a doctor, my dad left me. When I married Anagha she left me. Now that I am back to be with her she's laying here healing from the accident.

"Water." She asked looking at me. After 1 month of her surgery, her stitches were removed today. Her mom has been with us helping Anagha. Yug and mom left for his school admission 15 days ago. I made her drink water although she is completely fine. I just wanted to be with her.

"Amogh beta, go for your duty. It's already 11 AM, she will be fine." Her mom spoke as I nodded my head. Anagha did not talk beyond what she wanted, I couldn't too. After all we both are still processing this incident. I took my digital stethoscope with my name engraved on it.  It was my anniversary gift by my wife. Every year she makes sure to gift me something useful with her own money. What did I give her?

Bad memories.

Just like Dhruv pointed out that i am big red flag in her life, a term used by present generation. My gift would be to become a flag that doesn't bother her. Anagha cleared her throat as her mom left our room, I waited for my wife to speak.

"Message me when you reach hospital." She said. I nodded my head, kissed her forehead and left for my work. She had to apply for 3 months leave to university for recovery. But I know by next month Anagha will be joining hospital even if she's not well.

As I entered my cabin, my assistant briefed what all I need to do and how many patients are waiting outside. I treated everyone and felt exhausted. My life has been numb partially due to my stupidity and completely coz of my wife's absence. Anagha is like a drug to me, I couldn't stay 5 months without her at Mumbai. I was angry that she left me after that incident, she decided to judge me basing on that single incident when in reality I never touched or let another woman touch me after our marriage. With closed eyes, I reminisced our moments together, how we both sneaked to old pathology lab whenever I wanted to see her, I felt we were having college romance and that itself was very exciting for me!

'We need to remove our clothes. It's very hot.' Anagha said looking at her wedding lehenga. I chuckled at her restlessness.

'Sit down, lets start with you.'I said making her sit on my bed. She silently looked ahead as I removed pins from her head, undid the duppata. As soon as I removed her veil, I could see why they chose to cover her. I would be very angry if people looked at my wife like this!

'Let's open your hair? Hmm?' I questioned quite flustered by her appearance. Anagha felt shy but nodded her head. They used setting spray which made her silky hair stiff. She shifted showing me her back. I was tensed now. My body heated up looking at her blouse which is held by small string.

'I...' I trailed not knowing what to say.

'There are pins attached my lehenga, once you remove them, I can take off this heavy duppata off my body. Please see where they have placed.' She said. Her waist became red in colour due to heat, material and heaviness of this outfit. I made her stand up and turned her back to me. Kneeling down, I assessed her waist and carefully removed all the pins. Once I loosened up her duppata, Anagha removed it carefully and turned out. I was still kneeling down looking at my beautiful wife. Her blouse had deep v neck showing off  all the right amount of assets to me. At this point,  finally my wife felt conscious about herself.

But I didn't. 

Shamelessly, I got up holding her waist. Looking into her eyes, I removed heavy jewellery from her body. Anagha was frustrated with heavy attire, she looked cute to me. For a moment I understood this age gap is really affecting our situation. I wanted to hug my wife, show how much I wish to be with her, our marriage was not a haste decision on my side!

'Amogh! I will take bath and come? It's very sticky.' She said moving inside my washroom as if she's been living here since ages. I followed her but by the time I reached, she removed her lehenga and was in process of undressing completely. Handing me over her clothes, she went inside to freshen up.  I just stood there unable to understand what just happened.

I need to protect my woman at any cost.

This has what been running in my mind when I saw her innocence. She came out wearing a towel and asked me for my shirt. That day, we both accepted eachother's flaws, there in that moment an unknown connection between us formed which made us held on to eachother.  I started caring for her more than I expected, our bond was not forced, it's as if we were made for each other!

"Sir.?" My assistant called and I opened my eyes.

"You got a surgery in an hour. Do you want to go through it?" He asked. I nodded my head as no.  I wanted to sleep. Yesterday night when Anagha was sleeping, I woke up to clean her wound, bandage it again. Sleep was not nowhere near me when I saw what kind of cut she had on her back during accident.

"Very well sir, I will wake you up in half an hour." He said closing my door. Dhruv hasn't spoken with me, Varna was silent too. They both interacted with Anagha as if she's their best friend and this thought made me live with peace.

Atleast someone shows their love openly unlike me!

I called Anagha wanting to hear her voice. When she lifted I heard her mom scolding her for taking bath without her help.

" You took bath?" I asked her.

"Yeah, it was very itchy. I did not wet my surgical area." She informed.

"Don't take bath without me. Ok? Just use sponge to clean yourself. Listen to mom,  be a good girl? Hmm?" I asked her. She smiled into our conversation.

Something shifted between us.

"I was always a good girl." She commented flirting with me. I laughed at her. We haven't discussed about her choosing this place, she did not ask me why i did not talk with her properly, we were running around main issues between us and fun part is I don't feel any sense of hurry. Anagha informed me her uncle is going to visit us and mom needs to go home as her dad is down with viral fever. I hummed listening to her voice.

"She will leave day after tomorrow, I booked tickets for her. Drop her ok.?" She informed me. I said ok and hummed.

"What happened?" She questioned me. I heard rustling on other side indicating  mom left her side.

"I am sorry Anagha, I was so angry that you chose to leave me alone there. I couldn't bear your ignorance nor accept that I did wrong by not informing you. I just miss you. " I said with tears in my eyes.

I love her, missing was just part of it.  My whole body went into auto mode the moment she left me. It was like I was seeing the repeat of past. My mind couldn't come out of it.

"Amogh, I missed you too. Come home early?" She asked sweetly.

"I have surgery now, will be back home by 9pm." I replied.

She was silent for few minutes and I heard her breathing. This kind of silence between us is very comforting for me.

"Amogh, I love you too." She said before disconnecting our call. Goosebumps were visible on my hand the moment I heard her words.
