He went to the bathroom and changed his dress and went out closing the bedroom door, went down and prepared food for both of them to eat and made the coffee.
How come she is here? He was here for last six months and how did he miss her?
He was shivering when he saw her at the hotel. He’d to see her twice from the distance to conform if it is her or just it was his illusion. When it was confirmed, it was her, he was happy and shivering and he was all the most sense less and he wants to take her on his hands and he didn’t know how she is going react when she saw him? So many things was going on in his mind
He was bending his head in his hands on the table. He could not stop his tears. She is so weak, can see her black circle on the eyes. He can see her suffering. Oh my god what did I do to her? Why did I push her to marriage, to see her like this? She was so happy and very beautiful when he first saw her. What did the marriage do to her.
I want to see her happiness. I will take care like my child. I will do anything to see her happiness in her face.
He went to his room with the food and coffee. She was tossing to other side when he entered the bed room, she opened her eyes and saw him and jumped up and sat and asked him how did you get here?
Her face was very weak to even ask him anything, she was unable to see his face and talk. She was scared of herself. She tried to show her anger on her face and asked him, what are you doing here? Why did you see me? Why did you bring me here and whose house is this? What right do you have on me to bring me here without my permission?

He said ‘first you eat this food before I answer all your questions and drink coffee, we can talk coolly, without fight. I know what’s going on in your mind and I know I am responsible for the entire suffering of both of us. I was in the same state as you when I found that you were gone from my house in Bangalore.
Let’s have food first. He came near her and touched her shoulder and she pushed his, he asked ‘why?’ ‘I don’t want you to touch me, ‘she told him, but she was scared of herself.
He moved from her to the other side to the sofa and sat there, and called her to sit there and have the food. She again refused to have food and she said, ‘ I want to go to my house, so I’ll leave now’
He told her ‘this is your real home you’re going to be here from now on and not going anywhere’
She was furious and asked him ‘are you ordering me? Who are you to order me? She asked him.
He said ‘I am your husband’
She asked him ‘you are my husband? How do you say that? Do you know the meaning of husband? What is the duty of a husband? Have you done any of your duty, being a husband? Did you know, what happened to your wife? Where was she? Is she alive or dead? What was the husband suppose, to do when he leaves a newly wedded wife at home? Is he suppose, to disappear for days without any information, on where he is going, what he is doing, when will he come back, or will never return back at all?’
He immediately went and hugged her, shedding tear, he didn’t speak anything but hugged her tightly, kissing her forehead and cheeks with tears. When she realized wetness on her forehead and cheeks, she turned to his side and looked at him, he tried to hide his tears but could not, he, bent his head and cried loudly. She was shocked to see him like that. She cried too. All her control was gone and she was broken out.
After a while he wiped his face went to bathroom and washed his face and combed his hair and came and sat beside her he brought the wet towel and lifted her head and wiped her face and said ‘look, both of us have suffered so much for all these years, I know it’s totally my fault and I’d paid for it, I knew, due to my irresponsibility I’ve made you suffer, and I searched for you everywhere., now let’s eat and then we’ll talk. Come’
They both went to the small table and ate their food and he’d coffee in the flask, he poured them in two cups and they had the coffee. They did not speak anything, but he was looking at her face, while eating.
After they finished eating, he pulled her to him and put his arm around her and hugged her and said, ‘just a sorry will not be enough, I knew it was totally my mistake, I should have taken you with me, but everything had happened and both of us have paid for it. It’s not that I was happy while you were away, I was suffering every minute of my guilt. Rathi my love, punish me, tell me to do anything that will compensate my blunder, I’d do anything for you to keep happy but to leave you, I was like a robot all these time you’d left me alone. Now you are here with me, I do not want to talk anything that’d happened in the past, I want to be with you not talking just hugging,’
She started shivering, thinking that oh! no, She understood what was he upto? What will she do now? She told him ‘ I want to go home’
He told her ‘this is your home rathi, remember it, again you don’t tell me, you want to go home, I am not leaving you again anywhere alone, if you want to go to your place where you are staying, I’ll go with you and we two will stay there together but I am not leaving you alone for sure’
