Dear Diary

THE TALK

Next day

RK was in hospital working as usual when he got a phone call from his wife

"Yes" RK

"How are you?" Madhu

"I'm fine. Do you need anything? I'm busy here" RK

"No I won't take more of your time. I just want to tell you if you can come early tonight. We need to talk" Madhu

"Ok I will finish my work and come" RK

"Thanks" Madhu

"Bye" RK

RK was confused from her call. What does she want to talk about? What will she ask him to do? Will she want divorce? Will she leave him for her love?

Thousands of thoughts and questions popped up in his mind. Not letting him in peace. So he decided to go back home and see what she needed to talk about

After two hours

RK went back home and found Madhu waiting for him in the hall

"I'm back" RK

"How was your day?" Madhu

"Nothing especial" RK was confused from her caring

"Good. Go and freshen. I made you dinner" Madhu

"Ok ten minutes and I will be back" RK

After ten minutes, RK went to the dining room and they both started to eat

"Do you like it?" Madhu asked RK about his opinion on the food she made

"It is delicious. But what this all about?" RK

"I'm just asking if you like it or not" Madhu

"You said you want to talk" RK got to the point he couldn't wait any longer

"I have been thinking. The way we are living is not normal. We live in separate rooms. You work most of the day and I sleep most of the day. We rarely talk. We can't continue like this anymore" Madhu

"Do you want divorce?" RK

"No. I never thought about that. Marriage is not a game to marry and divorce next week. Marriage is a sacred bound we can't just break it easily. I want this marriage to success" Madhu

"Good" RK felt relieved

"So you want this marriage too?" Madhu

"I promised Mami Ji that I will support you all the way. So any decision you make I will support you in it. I will be in this marriage as long as you are in it" RK

"Thank you for giving me another chance" Madhu

"I think I will give you another chances all my life" RK laughed sarcastically about her second chance in college

"And I promise you won't regret it this time too" Madhu

"I hope so" RK

"I will do all my duties as your wife. I will try my best to be good wife to you" Madhu

"And I will do all my duties as your husband. But I have two condition to continue this marriage" RK

"What are they?" Madhu

"Don't ask me for my heart or my kids" RK

"Meaning?" Madhu

"For the first time in my life I gave my heart to someone else and it was shattered in pieces. So I will keep my heart for myself only. I will never ever love anyone else. Not you. Not anyone else. Is that ok with you?" RK
