The Binding String

"Raman!!!" She called her husband in top of her voice finding him nowhere in the living room. She combed her hairs through her fingers and tied them at top already irriated with the constant headache.

"Don't you have some other work except ruining mine work?" She turned to otherside listening her husband bitter voice. She gulped the another glass of water trying to cope up with his bitter tone.

"Why you beat subbu?" She questioned him directly not in mood to beat around the bush. "Do you know his mother was threatening me to send you in jail. How can you beat someone so mercilessly?"

"Mera bas chale toh main usko hi jail bhej doonga. He deserves to rot in jail." Raman spoke through gritted teeth.

"What rubbish!!! You had a habit to impose your judgements on others. First me and than Subbu." Ishita muttered making annoyed face.

"Oh really!!! And exactly what I imposed on you?" Raman asked further making a curious face.

"My life. It's functioning on your words only afterall. You do whatever you wish Raman without caring of others. You promised me you will stay with me in my felicitation ceremony than what happened Raman?"

"Leave me do you know what shit you did last night wifey?"

"What shit! You was the one who ruined everything last night. You ruined the most special day of my life Raman and it cannot be undone." Ishita eyes brimmed with unwelcome tears remembering the last night when she felt herself alone in the crowd. "My friends were the only one who supported me last night. You was nowhere there Raman and you ended up beating them?"

"Don't try to blame me Ishita because the shit your friends tried to did is unforgivable."

"Really? Than kindly tell me what unforgivable sin I committed Raman Bhalla? My ears are dying to know it." Ishita threw her hands in air dramatically, her voice was dripping sarcasm knowing very well that her husband will allege her with some baseless reasons just to cover up his own mistakes but what Ishita didn't know that whatever her husband will tell her will blow off her mind.

"This....this cannot be true. How can you put such accusations on me? You're doing it just to overshadow your own deeds Raman."

"Really!!!! I'm not that shallow like you to do something just to hide my actions. I'm not like you Ishita."

"It cannot be true. It all can be misunderstanding."Ishita mumbled to herself too much shocked to react on the new revelations about last night. It was hard to believe for Ishita that her best friends can do somethimg like this with her. They were studying with her from years and they always guarded her whenever she needed.

"Why would you believe me? Afterall I'm no one to you.If you have doubts than you can confirm to your Bala Jeeju."

"I'm not going to confirm anything from anyone."

"Why would you. You're just disgusting like your friends."

"Really!!! And what are you? Some roadside goon who beats everyone and anyone without thinking about consequences?"

"I will do that. And isn't this truth making you ashamed on yourself? If I would be little late than he would have..." Raman found himself going out of words thinking about the possible consequences which were haunting him since last night.

"It's not a big issue as you're making. We can have talked with them there was no need to create such ruckus there." Ishita argued back finding his actions unreasonable.

"It mustn't be a big issue for you but it is a big issue for me to find my wife laying half naked in someone's other bed."
Raman was amazed with the audacity of his wife, he expected her to subtle her actions now or atleast apologise to him but instead of that she had guts to argue with him.
"Wait wait!!!! Are you disappointed that I interrupted the fun?"
