Maya and Arun have been together for past nine years. They were the power couple of all the times. The greatest well-wishers for their friends, family, and colleagues. None could be like them especially, Maya, how beautifully does she put makeup on her face. How beautifully does she love herself for the way, she is, the gorgeous sarees, the jewels are on point. Never did we imagine in the first place that Maya will file a divorce case against her husband, Arun.
The last year we enjoyed so much at their anniversary at a five-star hotel. The food was delicious. The photographs excellent. I can’t believe how Maya can sleep with Rahul, the most innocent guy in our group. I must admit that Rahul has hid everything so well. He sat quietly at most of the parties with his wife, never drunk or smoke, never touched or looked at any other woman, while scrolling his phone for work related purposes. It was all a lie, how can Maya and Rahul can make the world believe that Arun is an annoyed man who physically beats up his wife every night, spends time with unknown girls at night in hotels. When all of it was a lie, Maya fought for so long. She let the world know about the ill-deeds of her husband when she was the one lying in the mud.
Truly, we can never know people or places until we know the in-depth of those things and experience it ourselves.
Maya is working on her laptop when the incessant rings of her phone is driving her nuts. The police called to know about her wellbeing, sympathizing with her condition. Her head is covered with bandage with marks of bruises on her hands, leg, and lower back. She has been choked to death while her nose bleed profusely, her lips were protruded with deep slit. She has stolen money to run off from Arun the night before. She lied to her students that she met with an accident while riding her bicycle. Being diagnosed with diabetes, Maya must lose weight. Living in an one room bedroom flat is safer yet it needs a refrigerator, a TV and some clothes for the almirahs to be filled. The sense of belonging to a place is what Maya misses the most. She has heard every rumor about her affair with Rahul, but she chooses to remain silent. She also heard about her abortion with Rahul’s baby but it doesn’t matter in the end. What has happened, has happened. The peace that has been missing in her life has returned. Somedays, she really wondered if she is travelling in a wrong path or not, but she didn’t. She should have done so a long time ago, but anyways, whatever happens it’s for our own good.
Maya doesn’t feel like explaining herself to anyone. Maya chooses her silence. She decided to let the people belief about whatever remained best for their minds. It doesn’t matter in the long run. Rahul is a good friend of hers, because she knew all about the flirtatious conversations of his wife with Arun. From there, the friendship started between Rahul and Maya. Together, they went out to restaurant, lunch, shopping, and bookstores but no intimacy took place between them except laughter, joy and wonderful memories. Once, Maya did take Rahul in warm embrace while their skins touched each other from head to toe. Their kisses were wild so was their fingertips but since then, they never met each other for both knew that what it felt like to be betrayed in love. Maya always denied the accusation for she knew it was not worth a single second.
Things does happen when they happen but that doesn’t mean that everything is your fault. End things before they end you.
