"Looks like your husband was a Casanova once.", Sarah said teasingly.
Luiz looked very young in these pictures. He looks very matured now. My god! His smile is amazing.
"Luiz looks so cute.", Sarah said.
But the question now was who amongst them was Maryam? Everyone looked pretty.
"Who is Maryam among them?" I asked.
"We shall see that.", she said.
She typed Luiz and Maryam.
Various pictures of him and a girl came. Sarah clicked on one of the pictures.
The girl had dark brown eyes. Her hair was shiny and wavy. She was a very beautiful and a sophisticated girl. She looked very dignified.
"She is Maryam.", Sarah said.
"I can't blame Luiz for falling in love with her. She is so good looking.", she said.
There were various pictures of Luiz with her. In parties, in meetings and in other social gatherings. They were so close. Luiz looked so happy with her.
He never has that smile on his face now.
"He looks so happy. How I wish I could make him that happy now.", I said.
Then I saw a picture which made me jealous. They both were kissing on the lips.
"Please close this Sarah. I don't want to see it anymore.", I said and got up from the chair.
Why was I feeling like this? Isn't it natural for people in love to kiss?
"Lara.", Sarah called me.
"Hmm.", I said as if I was lost.
"Learn to control your emotions Lara. Every person has a past.", she said.
"But I don't.", I said, interrupting her.
"Yours is a unique case Lara. You never went out. You never socialized. You never actually saw how the world is and how people live their lives.", she said.
Its true. I never had a normal life.
The thought was so depressing.
"I am sorry Lara. I shouldn't have said that.", she said.
"No, that's fine what you said is true.", I said.
"I just wanted to say that everyone has a past and we should just accept it. That is trust. The beauty of love is that it makes you strong enough to accept a persons flaws and never be too possessive, it scares your lover a lot and may even seem irritating sometimes.". she said.
"I don't know these feelings are so new to me.", I said.
"You like him Lara and you are expecting the same from him which is not happening. So you are being anxious.", she said.
"What should I do now?", I asked frustrated.
"Okay tell me, why did you want to know about Maryam?", she asked.
"I wanted to know Luiz's past. I wanted to know what kind of a woman he likes so that I can change myself accordingly.", I said.
"Now that's where the fault lies. Be yourself. Do not change for anyone. You are a beautiful person Lara. You are beautiful in and out. You need not change at all.", she said.
"I am not as beautiful as she is.", I said.
"Why do you compare Lara. Each person is beautiful in their own way.", she said.
"Learn to love yourself Lara. Then others will love you. Whereas, the comparison part of it is concerned, of course, she is pretty but she had loads of makeup also. But you are naturally pretty. So just do not compare.", she added.
"I want Luiz in my life Sarah. Before marriage, I just used to admire him. But now in spite of him treating me bad, I have feelings for him.", I finally spoke my heart out.
"Lara, you are really confused now so just take a break. Now that you are out of that hell, you can come here and we shall hang out in the evenings.", she said.
The thought was exciting.
But she is pregnant. She has to be very careful.
"Okay let's not hang out very far and stress you out. You should be really careful.", I said.
"Don't worry we shall manage.", she said.
It was seven in the evening by the time I was back home.
As soon as I entered I saw Caroline sitting on the couch. She was crying so much.
My god! What happened?
Even Luiz was there.
"Where the hell have you been?", he shouted.
"I was.. I was... with my... friend.", I replied by stammering.
He had a glass of water in his hand and he poured the water in Caroline's mouth.
Caroline couldn't stop crying. I was really worried.
"What happened?", I asked.
Luiz didn't even care to give a reply to me and Caroline was not in a position to reply.
Jane came with some energy drink in her hand.
Luiz immediately took it from her hand and started feeding Caroline but she just turned her face away.
"What happened?", I asked Jane.
"Mam's sister had a heart stroke and she is admitted in a hospital.", she said.
I bent on my knees in front of her. I held her hands.
"Everything will be fine. Just don't worry.", I said.
She started crying more.
I patted her back.
"I think we should visit the hospital she is admitted in.", I said to Luiz.
"She doesn't live next door. She lives in Russia which is an entirely different continent.", he said irritatingly.
"Oh, I didn't know.", I said.
All of a sudden, Caroline started fainting on the couch. I held her head.
"Mom, please wake up. Mom..", Luiz started patting her face.
Jane ran and got the water. Luiz took the glass and started splashing the water in the glass on her face.
She wasn't moving.
Oh my God!
"We should take her to hospital right now.", he said.
He scooped her in his arms and carried her to the car. He placed her in the back seat.
I was about to sit next to her when Luiz said, "You need not come. Stay here."
"Please Luiz this is not the time for all this.", I said.
"Fine.", he said almost screaming.
I can't leave her alone. I was really worried about her.
