The sun rays shined brightly. The alarm rang incessantly. He kept tossing on the bed but didn't bother to snooze the alarm. After lot of coaxing, he got up from the bed unwillingly. His head was breaking due to lack of sleep. He dragged himself up and got ready for the day. He skipped the breakfast because he was in no mood to prepare food.
Dina woke up to the day with freshness and great zeal of life. There was motivation and positive vibes within her to start the day. She had never felt relaxed and good until today. After persistent questioning from mother and 'I told you so' conversation with her dad, she was dead tired. She didn't realize when she was asleep while she was lying on the bed. But today she was up for any challenge. She now realized how much baggage of emotion she had carried when she came home.
But her new found energy turned sour when she saw her phone. There was no messages from her husband. She was furious at him that she didn't care to check whether he had texted or called her or not. She didn't bother to even call him or text him. Why would she? It was he who had done the wrong. She had decided that she wouldn't call him or text him like she would do every time they had fight.
She threw her blanket aside in anger and stomped towards bathroom to freshen up. Warm bath didn't calm her mood. Even her favorite breakfast didn't calm her down. Nothing calmed her. Instead it raised her fury. She snapped at anyone she laid her eyes on. She came home tired and emotionally drained. She didn't speak to her mother or dad during dinner. She played with her food for sometime though she was hungry. She slept on her bed with empty stomach.
Sleep didn't arrive immediately like yesterday. She constantly thought about Amit. "Why didn't he call? Is ego more important than his wife? ", she wondered even though it applied to her as well. She tossed on her bed with agitation. She watched her phone to check for messages and calls. There were none from him.
Amit reached to empty house from work. Everything lay on the same place he had left during the morning. He felt lonely. He looked at his phone. There were no calls and messages from her. He was about to dial her number when his friend ,Nitin called. After several times refusing the invitation to go out with his friend, he allowed Nitin to crash at his place. He didn't mind a company. But when Nitin arrived, he didn't realize that his friend would bring in others too. Soon his house was crowded with unknown people.
