Is your marriage on the rocks?

|Innaya|

I never begrudged anyone, for I knew envy brought nothing but pain and sadness. In addition to this, I had nothing precious that someone could envy me.

However, I caught the naked envy in Ayesha's eyes. It startled me. Why would she resent me? I was quite an unfortunate one if we compared our lives. She didn't have the childhood I once had. She did not have PTSD. Then why would she envy me? From whatever I heard from her chatter with Eshan, she led a happy life.

The moment I caught her eyes darting to the man behind me, I realized the reason for it. Eshan's open display of love was the reason for her distress. The emotion of envy immediately changed to the one of adoration when I caught her eyes. It changed so fast as if it never was there.

"Oh! I see... For a moment I thought you're fond of floral print from your childhood." I laughed out. Ayesha's envy was the reason for my lifted mood.
