Chapter 24

• "Then whose life you have taken?" I asked. Now both her lips curved upward as a sad smile formed on her lips and she replied in a whisper, "Mine." My eyes widened when I heard it as millions of questions rushed in my mind and I couldn't apprehend to her words. They held such riddles in them that perceive them seemed almost impossible.
• "Did you tried to attempt suicide?" I asked hesitantly and my heart began to beat faster in the fear of hearing yes. She let out a laugh and lowered her head and remained silent. My heart felt like it stopped as the world around me cease to exist and a deadly feeling of dread filled me up. She laughed scornfully as she narrowed her eyes at me in contempt. She put her elbow on the table and rest her chin on her palm while smiling at me. I don't know why but I found the sound of her laugh, melodious. She gave me a smug look and asked in the same mocking tone I used on her, "Ah, Tell me what are your intentions, my dearest husband?" she exhaled and leaned back and continued, "Are you looking for new ways other than intimacy to break my facades? Hmm? Tell me, what an animal like you can do other than that? Want to make a show of my past or perhaps want me to bend my knees before you and beg for mercy?" She finished her sentence with a dire voice and rolled her eyes from me. If it was any other day, I would have replied her with a ridiculed statement but right now, her word broke my heart but in a sense she is right, what have I ever done for her? I lowered my gaze and remained silent. I just want to know you. Please don't push me away. I closed my eyes as I swallowed hard. My heart felt heavy as I stared at my food devoid.
• None of us said another word after that as we ate our food in silence and went home.
