Chapter 2

After our wedding, they brought us to our own house.

Yeah, our house.

It's Grandfather's gift.

Grandfather is a rich man,not me, life's tough!

But wait.Uh, I'm freaking out here,I was thinking of what to do when we arrive at that house.

I can't even think of what to do.

I was so nervous.

If I was very nervous at that moment, may be, my wife was more nervous.

*

When we arrived at our home,wellI found out we have separate rooms.

There were maids in the house and Samira has her own driver also.

Note:

It's grandfather who gives them salary, not me.

I'm not yet rich remember?

We didn't talked with each other when we got inside the house, we just went into our own rooms.

That night, I badly wanna sleep but sleep just doesn't want me to be happy.

I was widely awake, I tried sleeping but yeah.

So I just decided to go to my room's terrace, a small balcony.

When I got there, I heard someone crying but from the moment I stepped on the terrace, even though I don't see who it was, I knew who was it.

I felt guilt rushed over me.

I just sighed heavily.

Sorry kid, I won't ruin your life..

Don't worry.

Wowhuh, very nice of me.

*

Days went by.

I needed to go back to the university, I have enough absences now.

At that moment, she was in her room.

I decided to talk to her.

I knocked and entered her room.

"Hi.." I greeted and saw her studying.

She saw me and stood up from what she was doing.

"Hi.." she answered.

Even though she didn't invited me to sit, I sat in her bed.

"Hmm, I just wanna say good bye.." I explained further why.

I told her about college.

Where the university was.

Of course yeah, she wasn't against it.

May be she was even happy to know that I'll not be here.

So after that I informed my parents, her parents and grandfather then left for college.

*

Weeks went by and we had no communication.

We didn't contact each other.

At those times, I admit, she wasn't my priority in life and I was extremely busy with my college life.

I have missed too much lessons during the days I went back home and I needed to make up for it.

I didn't have spare of time to even think about her.

Sometimes I even forget that I have a wife.

Zayn was clearly regretting this moment while writing the story]

It was already 2 months after I went back to college.

I didn't even think that I was away from home for 2 months already.

My Lord, I didn't think about checking on her, even sending a message to my wife, I didn't do it.

[Zayn while writing that part:

I'm sorry my wife, I was a terrible husband.]

Then suddenly, my phone rang out of the blue.

In the middle of the night.

Midnight.

It was my elder brother, "Zayn, your wife is sick!"

"Zayn, your wife is sick!"

My drowsiness was completely washed out and I became whole awake suddenly.

I was surprised at what my brother told me.

I felt like may be it wasn't just a sickness but a serious illness because why would they even call me if it wasjustsome illness?

I didn't told them that I'll go home to check on her, I didn't even think about whether to go home or not, right now, all I know is I badly need to see Samira.

Then I went home.

I arrived and went directly towards Samira's room.

It looked like they were not expecting me to come home and were surprised to see me entering Samira's room after I said my greetings.

Mom was there with my mother-in-law.

I saw Samira lying in the bed, sick but asleep.

And mom grabbed my wrist and I knew what she was gonna say so I interrupted her,

"Mom why didn't you even called me that that kid is not well?

!

If big bro didn't informed me, I don't even have an idea about it?

!"

Mom looked at me, shocked and furious,

"Because you are a blockhead!

You were gone for 2 months and to even send a text message or call, you did nothing?

!

Why did you even agreed to get married you stupid!"

I was charged guilty.

Mom was right.

But "Was marrying her my choice mom?

!" I said.

I was also stubborn.

She got more furious this time, "And why did you get forced if you didn't really want to?

!

You are a man and if you didn't really like her you won't agree to all of this!

Why is that I thought you are a good son!

?

I am greatly disgusted in you!" She said not caring that mother-in-law was there witnessing all that in her presence and walked out.

I have acknowledged that they were right that I was at fault.

That if I really didn't want this, I wouldn't really comply to this marriage.

They were right.

*

After a few days, I can't even take care of Samira because mom was always there ready to shoo me whenever.

She said that I don't have the right to take care of her because I didn't even care in the first place.

She also said, again, that I am so stupid.

She was really mad.

I think Samira was sick for a long time, she looks so pale and even lost weight.

They didn't even bring her to the hospital, but she was also stubborn in the first place because she doesn't want to be hospitalized.

I had such a big ego during those times, my big of an ego even pushed me to go back to college without saying anything to mom.

Yes, I even went back to college despite the conflict.

Until the whole family hated me and was furious at me, they told me not to go home anymore because I have nothing to go home to, that I am truly a bad person, that I don't deserve anything.

That where have you seen someone who has a wife who was sick but was just eager to go away and be busy with college?

But I felt guilt too despite my stubbornness.
