An affair to remember

A glass plate shatters on the wall, two people facing each other with hatred in their eyes as if they were about to murder each other. Rani walks past Raj, with no sign of pain she moves just to slam the door hard trying to express distress.
     Rani on the phone with Reema "Could I please stay with you for some days?"
Reema welcomes Rani with open arms comforting her while she sobs. They sit outside with a cup of tea when Rani starts to comprehend what exactly happened before even saying anything to Reema.

This has been going for a while now. Raj is out on business trips quite often and he is unable to spend much time with Rani. She is an understanding wife indeed. Whatever little time he had they'll spend together in the best way possible. Be it watching a favorite movie of theirs or having a romantic outing. They didn't have anything to gain as far as Rani is concerned as she just wanted her hubby to spend more time with her. On the other hand Raj wanted to earn more so that they can have a better lifestyle. This went on for a while till Rani started suspecting that may be Raj is having an affair.


Rita was Raj's new assistant who used to travel with Raj for every business trip. Raj was all praise for her. Rita is a girl who is very charming or rather astute. Raj once told Rani about a client meeting which went sour after hours of discussion. Rita, the shrewd girl she is offered to have a discussion with the client and cracked the deal out of nowhere. Rani didn't have any comments to share but she sure had her doubts.

Ravi had come down to their place to share some files with Raj. Rani was in the kitchen when she heard the doorbell ring. Rani being the nice person she is offered him coffee and informed Ravi that Raj is out for a business meeting. Ravi was a bit puzzled and was not aware of the meeting that she was talking about.

The other day the had a house party where in all of Raj's colleagues were invited. That's when Rani saw Rita for the first time. Rani was taken aback by her deep cleavage and backless avatar. Rita sure made a mark not a good one though. She was as lively as a kitten. She was least bothered about the groping eyes or rather she wanted to get noticed. Any publicity is good publicity is what Rani heard Rita saying and laughing out loud while Rani frowned upon.

Rani didn't like Rita and wanted to express the same to Raj by some means so that he fires her. But Rani sure knows that she has impressed not one but all and not only that she lately has doubts about the closeness between Raj and Rita.

Rani, a few days later when Raj informs her about a weekend business meeting, Rani makes it a point that she is out on the lookout for something fishy and so decides to follow Raj. Rani had arranged an autorikshaw guy for this pursuit. As expected Raj picks up Rita from her place and they head towards an unprecedented direction. Rani, shattered by the deroute of plans wanted to confront them come what may. Their car entered a beach resort, Rani asks the Auto guy to wait and follows them inside.
As expected they enter a room and close the behind. Rani on the other hand enquires with the receptionist. After few minutes she rushes back to the auto and leaves the place with tears in her eyes.
She returns home and shuts the door picks up their marriage photo and starts crying badly.

Two days later, Raj asks Rani to get ready so that they can go out to a friend's place. Rani just looks at his face and looks away when he returns the favor. She wears a nice shiffon saree still having tears in her eyes. Raj wears a tuxedo looking all handsome. He asks her to sit in the car while he locks the door. Raj enquires Rani as to why her eyes are red but she brushes it off saying something got into her eyes. They start from home, on the way Raj calls someone and what Rani hears is "Oh snap". He tells her that they are not home and so "we'll go to someplace else". Rani keeps mum.

It's a long drive, and they finally reach a place. A secluded one where in there is a path leading to a well decorated candle lit dinner table with lovely music. Rani looking at this hugs Raj and starts crying badly with Raj not knowing what went wrong hugs her tight consoling her saying  "its alright".

Rita was with Raj helping him out to get a gift decide the location, finalise decorations etc etc... for their anniversary which Rani got to know on the very day she followed them.

Nice ending but...  ya ya coming to the part where they fought. That was because Raj had painted the wall Grey without asking Rani. Lol yeah she is a drama queen.

No marriage is devoid of misunderstandings. We fight for simple things but what we have to remember or rather remind ourselves is the wonderful moments that we spent together feeling nothing but each other's warmth.

Life isn't as simple as we think it is. At the same time definitely not as complicated as we perceive it to be.

Never let the spark die, thats what keeps us going.
