Pause and Resume - Part 1

It was already past midnight. The sky was clear and stars shined brightly. The lone dogs howled at the sight of the full moon on the empty street. The road was empty except for the bright red Toyota Vios. Amit hated it. Silence disturbed him.  The silent road reminded him of his worst possible day. He had left home for office today with hopes of big promotion. He came back home with broken dreams and hurt ego. One of his colleague who loved to lick bosses's ass got the promotion.

Whenever he thought about the day, his anger shot up and banged the steering wheel. He had worked hard for it. He even cancelled the holiday plannings with his wife last moment to work his ass off. He took the brunt of his bosses. He worked with laziest reportees to get that promotion with bonus pay. He never complained for the additional work he was handed. He simply did with hopes of getting something big in return.

He reached his apartment after long mind battle. As he parked his car on the allotted parking, he prayed there was no drama from his wife. He had planned to sleep after dinner. Sleep was the only thing that could help him to come out of it. He slowly walked towards the entrance and pressed the lift. The lift door was open but his mind was still in the office.

He walked inside after few minutes. He pressed the lift to fourth floor. The cold air blowing from the fan in the lift couldn't cool him down. He wished the journey to the floor didn't end so quickly. He brought himself to the door with great difficulty. He heaved a sigh and rang the doorbell. No one opened. He rang once again. When there was no response again, he took out the spare key mechanically. He opened the door.

He was welcomed to a dim lit scented candles and soft romantic music. "What was she upto?",he wondered. When he realized what it was, he muttered softly,"No today!" He looked for her. There she was, leaning seductively on casing of the door. She wore tiny black lacy camisole matched with black shorts. She was looking like goddess. But it didn't spur any interest in him. He was in no mood for any play.


She danced towards him. She seductively moved her hips and placed both her hands around his shoulder. As she proceeded to kiss him, he released her hands from him and pushed her aside. She felt insulted. A voice spoke in her mind, mocking her failed attempts to seduce her husband. It also sympathized her  for making efforts to spice up the relationship and blamed him for not appreciating her efforts. She spun towards him and growled, "Why did you do that?"
