chapter 16

Nishith walks up to Samaira with loud thumping steps. He was completely drenched in sweat and was panting for breath. But still his extreme anger took over his tiredness and he started to shout at Samaira in a loud voice." Hey Samaira... I can't do it anymore! " , Nishith ends in one go just trying to spit out everything that had been going on in his mind throughout the day." What Nishith? What are you trying to say? I am not able to understand properly. Tell me clearly. What you can't do any more? " , Samaira asks him in a calm voice and in a gentle way completely opposite to his way of approach. " The slavery that I do for you in the morning, I won't be able to do it any more. Everyone is just making fun of me. From oldest to youngest each one is laughing at me and mimicking me. I just can't bear it any more. Wherever I go, I hear people talking about me saying he is the man who is a slave to his wife . You know what...you have turned me into a society joker. " , Nishith ended with breathlessness as his eyebrows lowered and were pulled closer together. His eyelids squinted and his lips curled inwards. Nishith just exploded out at Samaira without being able to control his anger. The temperature was rising in spite of the blowing of cold chilly winds. " Nishith ! Carrying your wife in your arms is not slavery . Anyways, I never demanded anything in our ten years of marriage. It was you who is demanding divorce. You wanted divorce and not me. Finally it's your decision. Think over it. " , She sighs and goes away .Tears breamed up in her eyes. In order to hide her emotions, she quitely left the place . She had realised that there is no one who would understand her agony and would console her. So she kept her emotions unexpressed. To calm down his anger, Nishith leaves his home and goes to Richa's place to spend the night with her. He goes on taking shots and shots of chilled beer without stopping and during this course of action he falls asleep.The just- risen Sun shone softly on the city streets , bringing with it a flurry of early morning activity. The drappled Sun shone through the trees creating mysterious shadows." Good morning... Breakfast is ready. Get up Nishith... Get up. I have got you breakfast. Nishith... Wake up." , Richa tries to wake up Nishith in the morning.The warm and tender golden beams of the Sun entered into the room as the sunlight shone through the gaps in clouds and continued through the polluted atmosphere that contained dust and haze and spread its hue on Nishith's face. The falling sun rays and Richa's voice fuel up the cause for breaking his sleep. Nishith opens his eyes and checks the time on his watch." Ohh ... No ! " , He screams loudly and gets up from the bed at once and leaves. " Nishith... Wait... Where are you going? Atleast have your breakfast and go. " , Richa called from behind but by that time Nishith had already left the place. He drives immediately to his house and enters into the bedroom. He finds Samaira sitting on the bed all ready for going to work and was waiting for him by staring at the wall clock and counting the moments with each strike of the minute hand and second hand. Nishith comes to her and tries to apologize to her for yesterday's behaviour and for being late today. " I am so sorry Samaira." , Nishith apologized and took her up in his arms.Samaira had no reactions to his apology and she remained silent like before. Both of them departed to their respective offices. At Nishith's office," Hey Nishith..." , A voice comes from near the door as a man enters Nishith's chamber greeting him.Nishith turns his face away from the laptop screen to respond to him." Hey boss... What happened? Why do you look so tensed? " , Nishith asked his boss with concern.To be continued in next part.Stat tuned.
