I don't love u anymore

As one grows up, in the Indian subcontinent, marriages are arranged. This story revolves around a boy, who was immature enough to get married, shoved into the rat race of work and earning money and before he could realise his goals in life clearly, he was put into an arranged marriage. As years go by, he though bodily matured, but emotionally still a boy gets involved into alcoholism, smoking, women, gambling. He took his arranged marriage as part of life's adjustments. I don't love you anymore is contradictory as he falls in love with his wife past 25 years of marriage, whereby he realises, friends who seemed friends actually, were enemies in disguise.He goes for rehabilitation, due to alcoholic tendencies but does not recover. He does not succeed in business world and feels all these bad things that are happening to him is because of his wife. She is the greatest bad luck in his life is what he feels. He never loved his wife, from the first day of marriage, took her just for sexual needs, made her his 24*7 secretary, beat her to pulp due to alcoholism and frustration. But she never left his side. As years go by, he sees his wife as the only strongest pillar of his life. So when at the age of 60, he thinks of telling her his true feelings for her, his wife says that she has moved on in life. Now that her children are grown up, she is tired of his bickering and fights. She confessed, I don't love u anymore and goes to enrol in an old age home, to live a life without any pain and emotional struggle. Even when you look at the book cover of two ducklings, here in this book, looking at opposite directions, this also has a lot of significance, as per the storyline. Both are in the same pail, as in marriage, at a young age, tied to the family, but both looking in opposite ways. One into family bond, taking care of in law's, children, daily grocery shopping, cooking and doing all household chores. The other has his life outward bound, partying around, drinks and friends, women, gambling, earning money and travelling distant lands, passports filled with visas of countries around the world, no strings attached to the family. As years fly by and things don't change in the scenario, the wife at old age walks out of marriage, to lead a life as per her choice, at 62 years, the man has now stabled up and looks forward to live his old age along with his wife, but here is the cliche, she simply walks out without looking behind to a life where she relentlessly always gave without any returns or favours asked. She walks towards an unknown voyage at old age where nobody expects anything from her and she does not expect anything from anyone, a house she would learn to call her home, an old age home..... This is my first attempt in weaving a story. I would appreciate for a genuine feedback from my supporters in the form of comments, votes and spirit stones. I was unwell for the past month and a half , so the speed has lessened, but I will not fail in weaving my thoughtsand pen them down at the earliest. Your genuine feedback will help spark my imagination.

"My name is Bond..... James Bond"

As Ador was relating herself to the thrill of James Bond movie, Dev was sitting quietly in the corner of the restaurant eating bread and chicken sausages for breakfast. His eyes were lifeless. Gambo had left him for Phi Phi islands and here he was stuck to his demoness wife. How could he cancel the trip and sleep at the hotel room, he was thinking. He was in no mood to accompany Ador after the hell of a thrashing. He wanted revenge but how.... not in this foreign soil. For this he had to be in his home turf. Back in India.

Ador was waiting for the tour guide to come in any moment.

A Thai guide came and was asking about Dev. The receptionist walked over with him to Dev. When both came to the same conclusion, Devin nodded his head, looked at Ador and told her to follow him. The trio went and sat in a mini bus. There were other travellers too. The bus went with d 15 passengers through the city to a small jetty and from there after wearing orange life jackets on a motor boat, all entered the light green sea in 15 minutes. Everywhere there was water,. Emerald green somewhere and somewhere light green. It was fascinating. In between came some small islands which had houses above the water. looked more like restaurants, but still they were far. Ador was relaxed. Dev was drinking beer that he took from his shoulder bag. He was thinking differently. What if he left Ador in James Bond Island and come backto the hotel, for a Thai massage. She will remember this episode for her entire life.... abandoned in an island. A wry smile came to his lips. Ador asked him why he was smiling. He said, " nothing much..... just about a relaxed Thai massage"

James Bond Island though considering of a beautiful rock covered by sea and a bit of sand where people were standing to click photos. Some even changed route from there for canoeing around. There were one or two shops. Some tourists were booking water rides.

Ador loved the place. Both stood and took some pictures there. The Titanic pose is an evergreen hit. They striked that pose too. After a photoshoot of them and some picturesque scenery, Ador looked around to search Dev. He was not there. Such a small place, with too many tourists, where did he go?

She searched him and then saw him in a small shack with two cans of beer. He was drinking like a fish gulps for water when in land. She asked him, why he left her side. His answer came crisp. " Just as you like greenery, scenery and the like, I look out for things that I like." He gulped down the can and put his hand on the second one. At that time the guide called them, saying they were leaving for lunch at a restaurant in the sea, beside an island. All were ready and so everyone entered the motor boat. The guide said, " those who are old raise your hands, for a group photo. Those who are a couple or are in love, kiss your partner, and in the lips please. For the single ones look up to me, and say cheese"

Click .

A photo was taken. At that moment, Dev did a French kiss in front of the entire group to Ador, due to alcoholic effect of the second can of strong beer. Ador was beet red in embarrassment.
