" What the hell do gou want , ha "?
" I knew this "
" I knew this , you dont like Komal's presence here "
" But you can go down to this level "
" Doing these cheap tricks "
" Giving  papaya to her , even after knowing she is pregnent "
" You wants to kill her baby"

He shouted at me ,
with all the haterd in his eyes .

" What are you saying Arnav " ?
" Priya didn't have me this , by mistake I took the slice in my hand as I was very much engaged in TV "
" She had already given me separate plate without papaya "
"It's my mistake , not her's "
Komal said to Arnav .

How can he think so low of me , in addition he just shouted at me , that too in front of Komal , an outsider .

I excused myself from there , in as much as calm manner I can .

'He cares for her' .
'He still cares for her ' .
'But he didn't care for me' .
' How can he think so low of me , that I'll try to kill an un born baby '

At night .....

" Priya "
"I'm sorry "
He said with guilt .

" I thought ..."
" I was just concerned for the baby so I , lost control and  "

I didn't said anything to him and made myself comfortable on the floor mattress .

Few days more passed and with every day I saw Arnav's care for the baby and Komal .

None of them talked about her husband and in-laws , their reunion , etc....

May be he wants to have a life with her , but obviously he can't ask me to do so .

We were in a mall once , shopping groceries ,
"ohhh what a lovely couple "
" You people seems like made for each other "
An old lady commented looking at Komal and Arnav .

" Aunty ugh "
Komal started but the lady beat her and
" may God give you a health baby "
She added looking at her little bump

" As smart as your husband "
She further added and went .

My heart clenched at her words , i was silent hoping any answer from him , but he remained silent .

" Frankin park "
" Tomorrow "
He said while we were having breakfast ,
" great , I always wanted to go there " Komal chirpped .

" I won't be able to make it "
" You guys go and have fun "
I said .

" Why"?
Komal asked .

" One of my friend is coming tomorrow ,
to this city for some work "
" May be I'll catch up with her "
I lied , because it's unbearable to see them together , to see their choices going in same direction every time , to see how wonderful match they are and how mismatch I'm with him .

" Ohhh"
"Then we may go on next Sunday "
She added .

" Yeah , I'll postpone the tickets "
He said for the first time .

" No no , it's fine "
" You people carry on "
" I'll join you some other day "
I said and they agreed .

Arnav is a full time care taker of Komal now , he took leaves on Saturdays , accompany us to the  hospital , every time .

Bring all her favorite stuff ,surprising her via one or the other way every day he came back home , his care is almost equal to what a lady gets from her husband .

Every day my feeling of me being a wall between them is getting stronger and stronger.

" Common Komal "
" Why are you getting upset about that idiot "
" Take divorce from him & start your life a fresh "
Arnav suggested Komal , while she was upset about her wedding.

" There are plenty of good man in the world "
" You can marry again "
He added .
