Disha woke
up to fresh new morning. She stretched herself and rubbed her eyes. She turned
to her side to see her husband sleeping soundly. She smiled at him and as usual
she didn’t wake him up, allowing him to sleep for some time. She headed towards
the el bano where she freshened herself.
She was busy
preparing breakfast when the phone rang. She picked it up only to hear her ‘concerned’
aunt on the other side. “ Hi sweetheart, what are you doing?”, she asked. “Preparing
breakfast, aunt . Well! He is not carrying his lunchbox. So I am preparing him
heavy breakfast..”, Disha replied. “ What! Why is he not carrying lunch?” aunt
asked. “He’s having late lunch with some of his clients.”Disha said. “Hmmm..hope
it’s just lunch with his clients. Don’t feel bad. You need to keep an eye on
your husband, dear. It’s what dutiful wife should do.” Aunt advised. “ Gosh! He’s
not such type of guy, aunt. He’s very loving husband.”, Disha argued.
“You won’t
understand me now, beta. You feel that I am always on top of your head telling
what to do and all.” Aunt said . Disha remained silent without arguing much.
She knew her aunt never meant to hurt her. She always wanted her good. Why
wouldn’t she? She had been her foster mother after her mum died when she gave
birth to her. She had been through messy relationship with her husband and she didn’t
want her niece to go through one like her.
But Luv (her
husband) wasn’t like other men, her aunt described. He was caring and loving
husband. He loved her for who she was. He never threw his ego at her for the
stupid mistakes she did. He was always calm and patient with her.
However her
aunt’s words echoed in her head. Was she true about keeping an eye on
everything husband does? Wouldn’t it mean invading his privacy? He had given
her freedom to do anything she wants and didn’t ask her for every minute update
on her life. But what if something was going wrong behind her back? She cleared
those thoughts and convinced her that she was simply being disillusioned by what
her aunt said.
