She woke up and came out of the room. she found him well dressed and having his breakfast.
“Why didn’t you wake me up?” she asked.
“didn’t want to disturb you.” He replied.
With the pause of a moment, she asked, “isn’t there any other way?”
“you already know that.” He replied.
She came close to him, sat on a chair in front of him. Poured tea for her. She was continuously thinking about this matter. When she filled her cup. She looked at him and said. “I took a month off for you.”
“I wish I could also do that.” He answered.
He got up and grabbed his bag. She came along with him to the door. He holds her hand and pressed it gently and said, “We will enjoy ourselves soon. I hope this will be the last week of this special project and we will be back to our normal routine.”
“I hope so. But who the hell do this on the first day of marriage.”
He looked at her and smiled, he put his hand on her cheek below the ear. She pulled her shoulder up to feel the warmth of his touch. He said, “I love you.” She chuckled and kissed his hand which was in between her neck and shoulder.
He said goodbye and left for the office.
After the whole bizarre day, they were here sitting together, without any worries for some hours. The low sounding music, the presence of each other made a joyful atmosphere.
“Is it not lovely?” he said with a wide smile.
“Yes, it is.” She replied with gloomy happiness.
They were out for dinner.
“But I wish we could spend the whole day.” She looked at him with her self-pity eyes.
“Please, don’t do this to me. I’ve not done anything of this by myself.”
“I didn’t mean that.”
“It is alright.”
“I had a dream last night.” He said.
She is looking at him as is waiting for him to tell her about that.
“I saw that I was standing in front of two doors, I had to open one of them. But couldn’t decide and in all of this fear and indecisiveness I woke up.”
“Then?” she asked.
“I told you, I woke up.”
“were you afraid, or anxious?”
“yeah, you can say.”
She put her hand on his shoulder, comforted him.
“Don’t worry. I'm always there for you.”
He nodded.
When he woke up in the morning, he was feeling tired. He looked to the side and found that she is not there. With all of the tiredness, he got up. He came out of the room, she was there in the kitchen.
“hey! Good morning.”
He looked at her with his disturbing eyes. “What are you doing here this early?” He asked.
“I thought unlike yesterday, we can have our breakfast together.” She replied with a broad smile.
he nodded and smiled.
“breakfast will be ready in a minute or two. You can change your clothes until then.” She said.
He came to the table after getting ready. She came up with the breakfast on the table. She gave it to him, and asked, “So how are you doing, babe?”
“I had that same dream.”
She stopped for a moment. She slowly moved her gaze to him and said, “so, what was in the dream this time?”
“no, it was all same. I was again standing in front of two doors. I had to open one of them but was filled with all of the indecisiveness.”
“You were probably thinking about that a lot.”
“No, I wasn’t.”
“don’t worry………… You want to have some coffee?”
“Yeah, sure.”
“I was thinking that when you will be back tonight, we will watch a movie together.”
“it’s a good idea.”
“Okay, I’m done, See you tonight.” He said and left for office.
It was very late at night when he came home. She was already sleeping. The TV was on and the remote was in her hand. She was not lying on the bed. It looks like that she was leaning on the bed when she fell asleep.
He carefully lifted her and laid her down on the bed. He took the remote from her hand, turned off the TV and lights. Put the blanket on her and went to sleep.
He woke up with a jolt as he dreamt of falling from high. He was nervous for a moment. In a minute or two, when he was normal, he went to get ready. While she was in the kitchen preparing breakfast for both.
He came to the table, she passed his breakfast to him and they both started eating. She was very upset and disappointed anyone could be able to feel this by just looking at her. He moved his head up and had a look at her. “Aren’t you gonna say something?” He asked.
“no”
“not even a word?”
“no”
“at least you can complain.”
“Would that make any effect?”
He had a gaze on her, sighed, and moved his eyes down. There was silence. After a few moments, he raised his eyes, looked at her with a little embarrassment.
He took a deep breath and said, “I know that it was a mistake, I’m so……….”
She interrupted him and shouted, “I don’t wanna hear anything from you.” She left the table and went to the bedroom. He was sitting there unable to make any good change. He stood up and went to his office.
In the evening he came home. He went to the bedroom and she was sleeping. He noiselessly came out of the room and opened the fridge. He poured some drink for himself. She came out of the room and found him in the mild dark lighting chilling on the sofa and having a drink. He was looking at her with anticipation. She came close to him sat with him and said, “so, how was the day?”
“It was good.” He said and nodded with anticipation.
“I wanted to tell you something.”
She maintained the same pose, her feet on the table, arms folded, and was leaning on the sofa without any movement.
“The special project, due to which I was used to coming late at night and couldn’t even take days off for our marriage is over now. Today the boss told me that now as we are back to our normal routine so, I can take days off.”
She had a gaze on him from the edge of her eyes and found him looking at her in anticipation.
She finally looked at him, with her eyes wide open. They were both still and was looking into each other eyes. After a moment they both smiled and started laughing. He wrapped her in his arms. “can I have a drink?” she asked.
“Yeah, sure.”
The next morning, they departed for their honeymoon. When they arrived at the hotel room. He found himself there standing in front of the two doors. He was nervous and was having sweaty palms. He was captivated once again with fear and nervousness.
She came to him with two cups of coffee and looked at him, “what happened babe?” She asked.
“These are the same doors as that were in the dream.” He looked at her with all of his helplessness. “you know that the night when I came home late, I had this same dream. This time, I opened the left door and there was a beautiful scene of nature but there was no surface under my feet and I fell ………… I woke up in hurry that morning.”
She looked at him with a confident look and asked him to hold the coffee cups. She went near to that door and opened it.
It was a very beautiful scene of nature, but there was a surface there. “Look babe, it’s the balcony. No need to worry.” with the gesture of her hands she asked him to come.
He came to her and was astonished by the view of nature. “It is a far more beautiful view than that of the dream one.”
He passed her the coffee cup and they both enjoyed their coffee on that balcony.
The End!
