Love that heals

Rudrani:

Ashu was teasing me, and his phone rang. He left me smiling.

"Hello, Ahmed," Ashu said.

"What the hell? Okay, I am coming," he said disconnecting the call.

"Where are you going?" I asked Ashu.

"I have some work, Rudrani. Take care of yourself. I messaged mom; she will return to home soon," Ashu said.

"You said you were hungry. Fruits are there, and the food is also there. Fresh up and come, I will set the table," I said, but he looked at me very seriously.

"I am sorry," I said closing my eyes with fear.

What if he shouts at me again?

"It's okay, don't worry. I will get time to tease you, baby," Ashu said smiling at me.

"Take care; I will come soon. I love you," Ashu pecked me on the cheek and left the house.

Mom came within 15 minutes as Ashu messaged her. I felt sorry for making Ashu starve with my stupid anger. I went to the kitchen to prepare his favorite food. I don't know whether he loves me or not but it's true I developed feelings for my husband. I decided not to give up on this relationship.

Why should I quit? Why should I leave my family? By hook or crook, I will gain Ashu's love. I am his wife, and I have right to share his love. I can't sacrifice my love on my husband for Artika or anyone else. I know I am selfish, but I have no other option. I can't make my life a joke by sacrificing everything. I will teach a lesson to Ashu for playing with my feelings, and at the same time, I will show him what is my right as his wife.

I arranged everything for his dinner, but he didn't arrive. I was disappointed. I called him.

"Hello, who is this?" I heard a girl's voice from his mobile.

"Can I speak to Mr. Ashutosh? I am his wife," I said.

"Wife? Oh, are you Ms. Rudrani? Ashu is busy. He is sleeping as he is tired after doing something naughty," that girl said blushing.

My eyes filled with tears.

"Rudrani," I heard his voice and turned back.

Ashu was there looking at me.

"Why are you crying?" Ashu said hugging me.

"Where were you till now? I called to your mobile, and someone is speaking ridiculously," I said.

"My mobile?" Ashu said and checked his pocket.

"Sorry Rudrani, I think I forgot it at Artika's home," he said and disconnected the call taking my mobile.

I hugged him. He caressed my hairs.

"Don't cry. Rudrani, if you trust me, trust me completely. I never break your trust," he said.

"I prepared dinner for you. Get fresh up and come," I said.

"Why did you cook food when you are unwell," Ashu asked.

"It's okay, come fast. After all, I am your wife. If it's not your wife, who will take care of you?" I asked stressing the words your wife.

"Of course, baby. You are my beautiful and loving wife and yes, it's you who should take care of me," Ashu said winking understanding my words.

We had dinner. After coming to our room, he gave side hug to me.

"What happened, sweetheart?" Ashu asked softly.

"Why are you angry with me, Rudrani? Sometimes we shout at our loved ones, but it doesn't mean that our love is unreal. Why don't you understand me, sweety?"

"I am sorry, Ashu. I think I misunderstood you," I said looking into his eyes which shows genuine love for me.

I understood something is wrong, but it may be not from Ashu's side. Artika stated that he is with her, but Ashu is here with me. That means may be Artika is creating a rift between Ashu and me. I shouldn't hurt my husband and make him fed up with me. Maybe that's what Artika's plan is. No, I shouldn't create any hatred for me in Ashu's heart through my behavior.

"Ashu, I shouldn't have behaved so with you in the morning. I know you were waiting for me but to show my anger, I left without informing you."

"I know it, but it's not an issue. But my dear wife, don't hurt yourself to show your anger at me. Your foot was hurt, and you have difficulty in walking. Just to hurt me, you no need to come alone hurting yourself. You have many other ways to hurt me," Ashu said.

"I didn't want to hurt you. I hope you will give me one more chance," I said, and he smiled.

"Rudrani, it's common to show anger at each other and tease one another as a couple. I didn't take it that seriously. After all, it's a very small matter. Anyways tell me what did Artika say to you on mobile?" "Nothing, not so serious."

"If it's not that serious, why do you shed tears?" Ashu asked.

I told him what she said. He looked at me for some time as if he is in deep thought.

"Artika never knew how to talk. Leave it, baby. I will be careful not to let it happen again. But, as my wife, you should know what I am. Your husband is not a cheater. You can trust him."

I just nodded.

"I am sleepy, shall I sleep?" I asked Ashu.

Ashu smiled and set the bed for me to sleep.

"Shall I sleep in your lap?" I asked.

Ashu accepted, and I slept peacefully in his lap. In the morning, I woke up hugging him. We had breakfast, and Ashu stayed at home for me.

"Rudrani, I want to speak something with you. I don't know how will you take that but please don't misunderstand me," Ashu said.

"Tell me."

"I want to bring Artika to our home. She will stay here for few days," Ashu said making me completely confused.

"It's your house, Ashu. Who am I to say no or yes to your decision," I said.

"This is not my house, it's our house, and your opinion matters to me, Rudrani."

"Did you ask mom and dad?"

"Not yet, if you disagree, then I will take back my decision. So I didn't ask mom or dad."

I thought for some time. If Artika stays here, I may get a clue to know what's happening.

"I don't have any objection," I said closing my eyes.

In the evening, Ashu brought Artika to our home. Mom and dad were so close to Artika. Somewhere I felt I was missed from their life. Will there be any difference for Ashu if I leave all of a sudden? He may search for me but will forget me so soon. In this world, no one loves me, and no one needs me. But, still, I should live for myself and prove my worth. I went to my room and opened my books to study to escape from my unwanted and depressed thoughts.
