Anger

Sweet Morning! Aravind was getting ready to office and Arthi was busy house keeping as she had some work to do later that day. Though she doesn’t work full time she supports the solution architecting team as a consultant. The air was so silent. Neither of them spoke as they had a small argument on attending a party the previous evening.

The fight started when Aravind came up from office with the news that they have a party that weekend hosted by his colleagues and they have to attend. Previous week itself Arthi had planned for an outing to a near by fall, as she wanted to have some change and also wanted to spend some special time with Aravind. That’s there special place, the place where they went in usually when they were friends. They used to sit there for long hours chat and have fun. She wanted to see that happen again. But this party invite upset her she insisted not to go for the party instead to the falls. Aravind wanted to go to falls too but this invitation he couldn’t reject as it was his colleague’s marriage party. So he tried his level best to make Arthi understand the fact but she wasn’t ready to. She had been waiting for this Saturday for weeks. She was getting too upset and argued a lot saying she won’t be happy if she goes to the marriage party. Aravind tried to convince her saying he would take her there next weekend. Arthi wasn’t ready to believe it as this plan had got postponed like this for weeks; she wanted it to happen this weekend no matter what. Arthi felt to her self that she was acting too childish but she wouldn’t bother she just wanted him to take her there. Arguments went high since Arthi wasn’t ready to understand anything of Aravind’s inability and she kept opposing things. After a while both of them dropped silent. At a point Aravind got to furious that he got dressed up took his vehicle and went out. Arthi didn’t want to stop him she just left him and sat in the bedroom to listen to music but she wasn’t enjoying it, her mind wasn’t peaceful after the fight. She knew she could have avoided such a fight but she didn’t know why Aravind considered his colleague’s invite more important than her request.

Though thoughts troubled her she went and prepared the dinner, his favorite dinner. Arthi decided to drop this fight for a while. She hated to fight at the dining table; she wanted him to eat well. So she decided to speak to him normal forgetting all that happened. Aravind came back home Arthi wanted to know where he went but she didn’t she was silent. He got refreshed and Arthi invited her to the dinner. He never responded just came in silently and joined the dining table. She tried to converse with him in terms of serving him but he wouldn’t respond. He helped him self with his food avoiding her help, ate and went back to the living room. She couldn’t bear the way he reacted. She felt a lot. She thought he would at least forget everything and speak to her but he wouldn’t. She just didn’t like the food she made. She cleaned up everything and went into the living room to speak to him to say sorry to him. When she went in there she saw him fast asleep in the sofa.

Never has a fight gone so far between them like this. What ever the fight may be both of them would drop it off after a time and would start conversing as usual. This time it wasn’t that way. Arthi couldn’t understand why he was behaving like this. She thought may be he slept off without his conscience and she left the room. She wasn’t used to sleeping alone in her bed she missed him there; he didn’t even wish her good night which he never forgets in her life time.

The night was very strange to her she just slept off thinking all that happened that evening. Morning when she woke up Aravind was up too getting ready for office. He wasn’t talking still Arthi didn’t want to spoil his mood by asking questions further that she too kept silent.

Things went on without any conversation Aravind skipped his breakfast, dint take his lunch either which Arthi had prepared for him and left for office without even saying bye to her. Arthi didn’t know what to say she just wanted things to turn back normal. Why was Aravind acting so strange towards her, there had been worse fights than this between them but he never has been away from her like this without talking. She felt very bad.

She diverted her mind into work thinking that things will turn normal when Aravind comes back from office. She wanted to apologize to him and tell him she would go for the party and he can take her to the falls when he has time. Since she didn’t have a good sleep last night she just went to take a nap for a while so that she can wake up early before Aravind comes home and prepare his dinner. She wasn’t getting sleep though she wanted to she was thinking more about him she missed him a lot. That she went in and picked his favorite shirt he wears at home and wore it and slept hugging his photo she used to have in their bedroom.

Aravind came home, thinking that Arthi won’t be there at home opened up using his key.
When he came in to the bedroom he found Arthi sleeping on the bed nicely wrapped up in the bed sheets. He was just able to see her face she was fast asleep. He didn’t want to disturb her, when he went to refresh he felt like wearing his favorite shirt. It wasn’t there where it was supposed to be. He searched every where he couldn’t find it. He got irritated thinking that Arthi was being so careless about his favorite shirt that he woke her up and before she could open up her eyes he started shouting at her asking where the hell did you put my shirt. That’s when Arthi removed her bed sheet revealing that she was wearing his shirt. The way Aravind asked her for the shirt hurt her and tears rolled down from her eyes. Seeing her Aravind felt very bad he knew Arthi loved to wear his shirt and sleep but he never thought of it. He could have been polite instead of being so harsh on her. He saw her face trying to wake up fully and tears rolling down her cheeks. He never can bear her cry no matter what; he never wants her to cry and is always dead against it. She looked pale didn’t know what to say to Aravind or ask him why he is still angry on her. She just murmured Sorry please don’t stay without talking to me. Please don’t be angry on me. Aravind couldn’t see that. He just came back to her hugged her and said ‘I am sorry honey I shouldn’t have shown so much anger on you I am really very sorry dear I am sorry I showed some stupid office tensions on you’ and he kissed her and wiped her tears. Arthi couldn’t say anything she just started crying further saying ‘no matter what please don’t be without talking to me that kills me a lot. Please forgive me. I shall go to the party with you’. He just replied saying ‘Honey I missed you like ever, I am sorry ma. I will take you to our favorite place this weekend no matter what. I shall see to that this never happens again’. Arthi replied ‘No dear I can understand take me to the party this week we shall go to the falls next weekend’. But he didn’t want to continue this talk further that he pulled her towards him self and kissed her hard on her lips. The hugged each other tightly, forgetting all anger and apologies they romanced for ever.
