I reached there on dot and was received by Neha aunty at the door. She took me inside her house and ask me to sit down .then she told me that she & he... hubby was very thankful to him for these matter and offered me coffee. She then asked to sit and be relaxed and she would come back soon. I waited for about few min and then she told me to come to the bed room so that we can talk much “.I slowly started walking towards the room with my heart beating fast, abnormally fast. I saw the room was. When I pointed out our new celibate lifestyle, she said enigmatically that she had some ‘women’s’ things going on ‘down there’ that she was trying to get sorted out. I asked her what it was but she avoided answering.This lack of honestly and candidness was quite alien to our relationship but no matter how often or how directly I pressed her, that was all she would say.A short while later I was on call and had been summoned into the ER at an unusual time. This meant that the team I was working. ”“Same here, didn’t know what I was missing, “ Sue laughed and Rona nodded.Rona asked. “What do we do now?”“ I don’t know as long as it doesn’t include that ping pong paddle. That thing hurt.”My parents returned from work at 5:30, Mom was pleased to see Sue and Rona had supper almost ready. For a change all she had to do was relax till dinner was served. Dinner conversation seemed to focus on Ralph’s absence. Tearfully the story came out. Dad’s comment Never liked. He leans back and shuts his eyes, then ping, new message received. It's from her. “Leaving work now. I'll be home around 19:15." He reads the message, lets the phone drop onto his chest, shuts his eyes and ... ping. He sighs with a deep forlorn breath. He knows it's from her again. He lifts the phone up to his face. “Get ready now. We're meeting Amy and Duncan for dinner. I don't want to wait for you to finish in the shower.” He doesn't stir. He can't fucking stand Amy or her miserable.
