After breaking up in college both of them met again by coincidence after years. After seeing Ray struggling from divorce and financial issues Sam decided to help her leading to the further events.
Sam is a simple guy who is earning great and has pas...
Days went by.It was over three months now since their wedding.Most of the time he stayed out of home. It was a picture perfect marriage from outside. Now as she was free from issues and it was all goody good now she could not stop herself from thinking about the only flaw "Sam" nobody knew about their inner conflicts not even his family or hers family.
She now knew how much he hated them being intimate it was foolish to try lo lure him . He could read her mind. Her every effort to find a common ground faced defeat. She was slowly accepting that it was yet another broken marriage.He was mostly away and she was mostly alone in room. Even when he was there it was still same.
She kept track of his phone he was not a cheater but he was definitely not hers or maybe once he was a silly boy who madly loved her,believed her and trusted her and now maybe it was too late.She heard the door opening he was back wearing his all black tracksuit.He looked tired exhausted by work. This cruel and cold guy who once was so bright what happened to him she thought.
"Your issues have been resolved. As I clearly know you do not want divorce. I have decided I am shifting to Germany you can pretend all you want! things can keep going as they are going if you want to have an affair or divorce it's your choice I am leaving next month. I offered you help and I have done that now deal is over." He said in a cold manner while standing in front of the door. He avoided looking at her.
"I am speechless." She was disappointed.
"Whatever." He was cold again.
"I loved your silly poetries and jokes back then,Sam."in a defeated tone.
"Do not embarrass me."
"Bugger off." In an angry voice.
He fell on chaise and slept as soon as his head hit the pillow. "You married a dead man Ray." She thought. No matter how hard she tried she could not sleep leading her to fell ill. It was morning he woke up late. She was wrapped in blanket. It was a weekend it was weird of her to still be in bed. Nonetheless he left her lying there and went in and change. He was in the garage heading towards his car and about to leave when he heard Michael's voice.
"Sam"
"Yes."
"Where are you going?"
"I have work."
"Aunty is not at home and I have entrance exams I cannot take care of her. You are her husband you should be taking care of her."
"I will call for a nurse. I have some urgent work. Sorry."
"I asked you if you love her I requested you to be nice to her. I can clear my exams and then I will take her away. I heard you talking that you are dead or whatever you have a wife and so many blessings but you are so busy with all the negativities of the past. you do not deserve her."
" I do not deserve her? She doesn't love me she doesn't care about me.Even if you can prove one ounce of love she has for me I will go back." He made an angry hand gesture.
"Do you even know how many times she has given people shut up calls when they have badmouthed you. She cannot hear a single word against you. Even when I realised the nature of your relationship and I started abusing you she even shouted at me but you are so blind with your hate you cannot see anything.She cannot express her feelings. Even if she does not have feelings for you. You still have to do your duties."

He left angrily. He drove away he was planning to go to the beach. But he could not resist anymore he took a u-turn and he decided to go back and took care of her.He hesitatingly entered the room his pace was slow.She was still wrapped around with blanket. She did not move at all.
"I have given her medicine. She is feeling cold thats why she is wrapped around blanket it will be good for her if you will provide her with some warmth and by staying." Michael spoke in a rather harsh tone and left.
He knew he loved her sister. She has basically brought them up like a mother. She managed everything. Even fought with their own father for their rights. He looked at her he could hardly see her face out of blanket.
"Are you okay?" He asked gently.
"I am okay.You can go." She tried to make a hand gesture but her hand was shivering in fact her whole body was shivering. He lie down with her and pulled blanket. By pulling her by her waist he pulled her closer to him. He wrapped his arms around her body.
She was really cold. Her body felt really light and motionless. Hesitatingly he pushed a strand of her hair from her nose with his finger behind her ear and pulled her even closer with his hand. He was now tightly cuddling with her. She did not pushed him away. She readily accepted him.
"Do you remember? Sam when once you brought a 2 ton water can three floors up to my room. Your hands turned so red you were so lean back then." She whispered.
"I was so naive. You must remember it as a laughing stock." He pondered.
" I used to tell people this story to boast about myself. I often wonder how can someone be so naive and innocent. Now look at you. I hate this guy."
"I know you hate this me,old me and new me. Now go to sleep." In a sad voice.
" I loved old one I thought you would come back and I even waited but you did not. I am really sorry for breaking your heart. I did not knew it would hurt you that much. Actually I ....
She fell asleep. He lay down there holding her for hours and then eventually falling asleep too. When she woke up he was still sleeping just beside her he was still holding her waist weakly she knew for a fact he always liked her waist. She stared at him . She knew he was there because Michael guilt tripped him. But he was there at least for now.

He received a text. It has been a week now he has shifted his stuff smoothly without anybody knowing. He shifted to Germany it was the initial plan leaving his country forever. He could finally enjoy his own company until:
Text message: Mom Sam I am really disappointed in you Michael told me everything Ray is still hiding it but I have seen her insides, her outer shell I have felt her inner conflicts. You know everything about her. How her biggest trauma is a broken marriage and you are giving her the same thing for the second time. You are so persistent that you have no desires etc you have forgotten about others at all. My son is not a guy like this my son is a warm and bright guy who brings smiles on people faces. I am done with you bye I hope you are happy now.
