"Clare, come and sit...."

"Relax, we are not going to fight. I want there to be a mature conversation between us".

Like seriously, mature conversation that to with Stephen. My god was I dreaming.

He opened all the dishes, and smelled it.

"Clare, amazing man..... I mean if this smells so good, definitely this is going to taste even better".

"Steeeeeepheeen,you are killing me by doing this".

"Look Clare you worked so hard to make all these dishes and I don't want to insult your efforts and your hard-work by not eating this and taking..."

"We'll talk na, but after this.." .

"Come", he served me. Now just tell how am I supposed to eat all this with peace.

But I didn't say anything and we had our dinner.

"Ummmmmm!! Oh my god Clare, dinner was just amazing."

I have eaten so much that I am not able to breathe properly. I want to digest it.

"Haaaah" ,I said with a big question mark on my face.

Trust me Nancy, I felt as if I was talking to a stranger. Stephen with this attitude.

Since 2 years of marriage we never went on walk together after dinner. And now when everyone knows that things aren't normal, we were going for a walk.

We had a huge fight in front of 3 other people in the morning and now we had this fight less dinner. Moreover we were going for a walk.
Someone please pinch me, is this really happening.

Aaaa, I pinched myself to clear that I wasn't dreaming.

Clare, are you ok?

Why?

You just now screamed aaaa...

Oo, ya I am fine let's go..

I locked door and we went for our walk.

So, how are you feeling now.

Me, what happened to me?

Clare, you had a surgery day before yesterday. I think surgery has affected your brain.. Haaha,Stephen said laughingly.

I stood there and felt, I was walking with a ghost. He walked few steps and was talking. And after few minutes he realised that I wasn't walking besides him.

"Clare, why are you standing there".

"Come"

I ran towards Stephen held his hand and took him in our garden and asked him to sit on the fence.

"Look, Stephen if you still Clare for me please tell me why are you behaving like this. Please don't torture me with your sugar coated words.. Please, I beg you. Don’t do this to me. I know it's my fault but....."

"Clare Clare, calm down" . He  kept his hands on my shoulder and asked me to sit on the fence.

"I will sit, but please first you tell me...."

"Baby, sit for me..."

I sat, Stephen sat on his knees on the ground and he held my hands and started speaking.

"Clare, listen...."

"Stephen please don't scare me....."

"Baby, will you please shut your mouth and listen to me" ,Stephen scolded me. "Okay.... Okay sorry but for next 15 minutes don't interrupt...."

"So, Clare we love eachother and care for eachother. Right? 

" I nodded my head up and down showing him he is saying correct".

"Yes, we loved eachother and we got married. We had fights, misunderstandings, and also love and friendship between us. We went to Greece, spended some quality time, we came back and you gave me the happiest news of my life that that we got pregnant".

Tears fell from my eyes. Stephen was hell serious while talking.

"Hey, don't cry. I took care of you. But due to some reason you had miscarriage, and we lost our baby".

"I started crying even more. I was about to say something but then I remembered that Stephen ordered me to shut up" .

"We had a huge fight this morning and that to in front your uncle and aunt which is not a good thing at all. In fact I was thinking what they might think that Clare and I are fighting in our marital life. It is not going so well".

"But then I thought I overreacted. Sorry baby. I love you and I will love you till my last breath but do you think that......."

"Think what Stephen...?" I interrupted.

That..

Stephen..., he closed his eyes held my hands even tightly and said...

"That,are we happy in this marital life....?"

"Stephen, baby.... Open your eyes... Anything else you want to say.."

"Hahhh! What? I thought you would like to say something...."
"Anyways, look I am going tomorrow for a business tour to France."

"So?"

"So, so we will get time to think as well as we will get some space. We can think about our....."

"Future right!" I interrupted again.

"Hahhh! Yes...yes.."

"So you want to say we would be seeing our futures separately and not together like we wowed to eachother....."

"Clare, don't make me feel guilty."

"I am not...."

I un hold Stephen's hand, stood up and started walking leaving Stephen there.

" Clare, clare....  "

He came running towards me, his eyes were red and was shivering.

"Clare, I - - I don't want to regret anything...... He stammered".

"Like you are regretting us, our marriage, regretting our baby, and regretting me.......," I said with utmost courage and strength because to say these words ain't easy for me.

When I was saying these words, his face turned red like a tomato. He was looking like a small boy whose mum has scolded him in front of his friends and he is trying to control his tears. Every time I said a single thing, a tear dropped.

"Anyways, look I need some time. Please leave me alone, I said with my tears sliding on my cheeks".

"Hah, ye-  yes... I'll go".

I know how Stephen felt coz that time I felt the same and now also when I think about that day tears doesn't stop...

We both were broken and shattered.

I went again to the garden, sat on the fence and started crying like anything. That time no thing in this world could have stopped me from crying.

I blamed myself for marrying Stephen and fighting with Brent and Jenny. I blamed myself for everything that happened in our marriage.

I thought of calling you Nancy but then I remembered that Susan , our college mate once called me for invitation of her baby shower when told me that you were with James on  a world tour. Hence, I thought why to disturb you.

"Like seriously, Clare from when formalities came in our friendship......? Hah, there was time you used to come at my house at 3 in the morning, you asked me to leave my date and come for your birthday.
Really Clare, I didn't know you thought this about me. I am really hurt now. Clare.....?", Nancy said with teary eyes.

"I am sorry sweetheart, I am really sorry. I regret not calling you may be this won't be my situation if I would have called you....., "I cried holding Nancy's hands.

~~~~

That day, sitting on the fence, I cried that my whole eyes were swollen. Tears sliding from my cheeks slide further and tickled my cleavage and went inside. Generally that the most irritating thing but that day, I wasn't feeling anything.

In the morning Stephen woke up with his swollen eyes and saw I wasn't in the hall and came running looking for me but I wasn't there.

Clare, Clare....

He searched me everywhere but I wasn't there...
