Today is the eight day of my marriage and today is when I should have been going home with my husband. Sadly, he is busy but as a tradition my brother came to take me back home. He looked at me softly and smiled. "You look good" He said.

"I feel good now that I am going home. I missed the place too much" I said truthfully. I packed a small bag. I know I have to come back here. If not for my husband then for my college. It would be a small trip. I would be staying a week there. Same period of time when he will be on business trip.

I didn't told him about my trip. I don't think it will matter anyway. After that night, he again became distant. He just show a little bit of affection, a little bit of tenderness and that is enough for him. He was always like that.

But I learned not to complain about it, I learned not to say a word. I have learned it since I was a kid. Why bother to change now, it is not like my life will miraculously change within a night and my husband will suddenly fall for me. That doesn't happen in reality.

"What are you thinking so hard about?" my brother asked. "Nothing just thinking about the gifts I have bought for everyone. After all it is my first time returning home after my marriage." I said not wanting them to know the truth behind my relationship.

"Ani you have grown in this eight days more than you have grown in entire eighteen years" My brother said. "But still you are my baby sister and you will always be my baby sister" He said taking my bag from my hand.

"Where is he?" My brother suddenly asked. "Where is who?" I asked. "Who else your husband, shouldn't he be the one to take to your maternal home?" he asked. " He is in a meeting, a business trip to be exact." I said revealing nothing more.

What can I say that he doesn't think I am more important than his company. It would be awful if my family knew that. My father would be devastated and I cannot see him blaming himself for my condition.

"An he left his newly wed wife alone? I mean who does that?" My brother asked. "Him for sure, I know it must have been important otherwise he don't let me get out of his sight even for a moment" How much can I lie about my condition.

But I remembered it is for the greater good now. Greater good yeah. Good for my family specially my father. Our plane was announced and I shied in relief at least I wont be asked anymore questions.

"Comfortable?" My brother asked as we took our seats. I nodded. "relax sis we will be home in no time. Everyone is waiting for your arrival eagerly." He smiled. I smiled back. The plane took off and New York fade away on the ground.

"I wish he was here with me. But he didn't even bother to meet me before he left for Paris, not to mention it was one of the places I wished to visit. Maybe he forgot all together that he has a wife here.

"You want something?" my brother asked as the air hostess asked him. I shook my head in no. "Do you have any candy?" The air hostess nodded. "Great bring one of everything you have" I looked at my brother and he chuckled.

"told you, you are still my little sister and I know when you need the comfort food." He placed the candies in front of me and I smiled at him. "Thank you Bro"

Our flight landed on time. "You look good" he said. I smell the Kolkata's air. This is home. Oh how much I missed this place . There is no place like this in entire world. "So, maybe this does not matter but I took a week off, and I thought maybe we could spend some time together. As brother and sister like we did when we were younger."

My brother can be so much thoughtful when he wants to. "I would love to Bro" I said. "Ani, you are home" My sister said as soon as I walked through the door. "how is life as a billionaire's wife, I hope you didn't made fool of yourself and ruined the family's name yet" My elder sister said. I didn't answered her.
