Love that heals

Rudrani:

I cried till 3 am as my Ashu didn't arrive home yet. I don't understand what to do. At 3:30 am, I heard the door bell ringing and I rushed to the main door. I opened it and it's Ashu. Thank God, he is safe. I hugged him but he didn't react. "If you move, I will go to the room. I am tired," Ashu said without looking at me.

I broke the hug and Ashu went to the room. I followed him. Ashu took off his watch and spects. He took his night pants and went to the restroom. He came back changing his dress.

"Why were you this late to home today?" I asked in a low tone.

Ashu looked at me but didn't answer me. He laid down on the bed.

"I was worried about you. You went out in anger and your mood was bad. I was so scared thinking all these things," I said.

"Why did you worry? Did you expect me to die or attempt suicide? Sorry, unfortunately I am safe and couldn't fulfill your wish. I have parents and friends who love me a lot and cannot bear my death. So, I can never fulfill your wish of seeing my death because they are with me before you and will be in my life even after you live because they love me unlike you."

Why will I expect his...........? I can't even say that. I know he is angry with me but still he can't speak so rudely to me.

"I am your wife, Ashu. Why will I expect your.........?"

I stopped my words.

"You yourself said you want to see y death indirectly in the rapid fire. I should have listened to Artika. She is right, for you all your friends are more important than your husband. I married you thinking my love will change you but I never imagined that you will hate me forever. I shouldn't have married you knowing you hatred for me, that's my biggest mistake in the life," Ashu said seriously.

"Ashu, aren't you hungry?"

I asked changing the topic.

"You no need to worry about me. I am not a kid and I can manage myself," Ashu said looking at me.

This monkey is repeating my words. Are those words that hurting? Yes, these words are very hurting. I don't know why Ashu never scolded me before for being so rude. It's better to scold at that time than showing his anger at once. "Yes, you are not a kid because you are a monkey," I shouted with anger.

"What did you say?" Ashu said holding my wrist tightly.

"Leave me, monkey. It's hurting," I screamed.

"Say sorry or I will kill you," Ashu said in a warning tone.

"Sorry," I mumbled.

"Louder," Monkey demanded.

"Sorry," I said loudly.

Ashu left my hand and I looked at my hand to check whether it's hurt.

"No need to check much, I didn't hold your hand that tight," Ashu said sleeping on the bed.

Yes, he was right.

I went to the kitchen and brought fruits for him. I kept fruits near him and slept on the bed. As I was tired with crying, I slept immediately.

Ashutosh:

I noticed Rudrani sleeping and had the fruits brought by her for me. I remembered the words of Artika and a smile appeared on my face. Maybe Artika is right. After fighting with my angel, I went directly to Ahmed's flat. There I met Artika and Tina.

"Ashu, what happened to you? Why are you dull?" Ahmed asked me.

"Are you okay, Ashu?" Tina asked.

"Ashu, is everything okay between you and Rudrani?" Artika asked.

"I am going to divorce Rudrani," I answered them.

"What? Why do you want to divorce Rudrani, you love her, isn't it?" Artika asked.

"Yes, I love her so much but Rudrani hates me. She want divorce. I will do anything for her happiness. So, I decided to divorce her," I said.

"Are you mad, Ashu? Who told you that Rudrani doesn't love you? Did she ask divorce from you?"

"No I heard while she was talking to her friend Sanjay about divorce but when I confronted her, she lied saying that they were discussing about their mutual friend," I said. Artika smiled.

"Ashu, you are too possessive towards your wife. Somewhere in your heart, you feel that may be Rudrani is in love with Sanjay. So, considering considering all the incidents happened and every time as she is with Sanjay, you assumed that she will divorce you. So, now your heart is not accepting the words of Rudrani," Artika said.

"What do you mean? I never doubt my wife," I shouted.

"It's not doubt Ashu. It's possessiveness. You want Rudrani to be close to you and be friendly but she was still scared of you as you are new to her. Sanjay is her childhood friend, so she moves freely with him. You are jealous of Sanjay seeing this. So, you are thinking that Rudrani is comfortable with Sanjay but not you. It's not true, Ashu," Artika said slowly.

"What do you mean to say, Artika?" Tina asked Artika.

"Rudrani loves our Ashu a lot. She loves and cares for our monkey but her problem is she can't express her feelings freely. That's the reason she lost her patience and slapped me. She was insecure thinking I may snatch you from her, so she vented her anger out," Artika explained.

Artika came to me and cupped my face.

"Ashu, I love you and I will be the first person to rejoice if you divorce Rudrani. Do you know why am I saying this though I want you to divorce her?

I know that you will never forget Rudrani though you divorce her. You love her a lot. I was your best friend before loving you. I want you to be happy. As a girl, I can understand Rudrani's love. Rudrani loves you. If you want, try to find it out by yourself.

Today, go to your home early in the morning and switch off your mobile. Just observe Rudrani's feelings when you return home. She will be scared, worried and tensed. If she didn't love you, she won't care for you. Check yourself but don't tense her much as she is already in stress and it may spoil her health much. All the best, Ashu," Artika said.

I know Artika is my best friend forever. Though she behaved in sanely many times, still I know she is sweet and good. Artika doesn't hate Rudrani but was jealous of her as I love Rudrani very much. I followed Artika's advise to know whether she loves me or not. Now it's proved that my wife loves me but I want her to confess it. My dear wife, see how will your monkey husband makes you to confess your feelings. I kissed her forehead and slept happily as I understood that I won the heart of my love.
