![]() Talk to Ajay about it, see if he agrees.” Anita gathered the courage again and said, “Urmila listen to me at least. You see, from matchmaking to divorce you end up paying everybody thinking you are finally going to get happy, but neither you get happiness nor the money.Īnita didn’t know how to stop Urmila’s train of thoughts. If that too doesn’t work then someone will surely recommend you a divorce lawyer. Now see the irony, if marriage doesn’t work, you go to marriage counselor (spend time and money on them). If you see, at every step they pretend to be helping you but actually they are making money from you. ![]() ![]() After marriage, couples are emotionally fooled to shell out bombs in the name of honeymoon. First they make money while matchmaking, then one needs to spend fortune on marriage shopping, makeup etc and then at marriage there are agencies ready to extract money in the name of event management. Institution of Marriage is a business ecosystem in itself these days. As clock ticked past 6:30, Anita tried to break the momentum.Īnita: I am not the right person to judge but if situation is that bad, I would really suggest you both to see a marriage counselor. If he doesn’t want to help, then why he does the drama of offering help?”Īnita knew that Urmila will go on and on if allowed to do. First he pretends he is busy, then he pretends that he want to help. When I finish cooking and everything, then he comes to the kitchen offering for help. As soon as we reach home he straightaway starts working. Don’t I get tired? I too want some rest when I come home in the evening. “And these days he pretends as if he is the busiest person in the world. Now tell me, will the bank wait for him to finish his work till midnight? If he could have just spared 15 minutes and visited the bank, this whole issue would not have arisen” said Urmila. It was all decided, but in the evening at 6, he calls me and says he has some work and can’t leave office without finishing it. We have to open FD’s so that we can save more and more for our future. There are things pending to be done for long time. For example last Friday we decided that we will go to Bank in the evening after office. In fact he doesn’t care to sort out any mess that’s happening between us. “The problem is that he doesn’t listen, and because of that he doesn’t understand either. It didn’t take long for Urmila to reach at the point she wanted to talk. Anita prepared tea and they started chatting. They left office early that day and reached Anita’s home by 5:30. Being old friend Anita knew that something is wrong with Urmila and she is not comfortable talking about it in workplace. After a minute of silence she got up saying, she is not in right mood and left the lunch table.Īnita asked Urmila to come over home for chat. Anita put her hand on Urmila’s shoulder and asked, “Is there anything I can do for you?” “No thanks, I am fine” Urmila lied. She started sobbing and then got conscious of the surroundings then she controlled herself. The topic during lunch wasn’t different either. ![]() They decided to meet for lunch after checking their mails. By the time they finished coffee, it was lunch time already. The more Anita narrated about the trip, the more Urmila hated her own life. They spent good 15 minutes while sipping coffee, discussing how amazing was Anita’s Singapore trip. “Umm okay” says Urmila, still lost in the misery of her life. “Yes sure I will share once Mukesh transfers them to his laptop” says Anita. Although she herself doesn’t want to see the photos because it will remind her that something is missing in her own life. Urmila turns towards Anita and casually asks to share the photographs, out of courtesy. Why should she care for him? He never brings anything for her. Then she sees butterscotch chocolates and thinks of picking them for Ajay but then drops the idea. Picks 2 dark chocolates, 2 milk chocolates that are the ones she likes most. Urmila reaches Anita’s desk and says usual ‘Hi-Hello’ before diving into the pile of chocolates. The only place they go is either Ajay’s home town or Urmila’s home town. Whereas Urmila and Ajay haven’t went out for holidays since their honeymoon 6 year back. Anita and Mukesh are married for 10 years now, have a kid and still they manage to take time for such holidays. For a moment she felt a sense of jealousy. She took a deep breath and started zombie-walking towards Anita’s desk. ‘Chocolates from Singapore at my desk’ a new mail popped up in Urmila’s inbox. Place –Recon Service Ltd, Uday Park, New Delhi.
