Rohan spoke with a softer voice. “Do you ever miss your husband?”
The question surprised her.
Not because it was inappropriate.
But because nobody had asked her that in a very long time.
She looked down at her cup.
“That is a complicated question.”
“Why?”
She smiled faintly.
“Because the answer is both yes and no.”
Rohan listened quietly.
“I miss him as a person,” she said. “I miss having him around. I miss sharing small things with him. Sometimes I wish he was here to see little moments of our life instead of only hearing about them later.”
She paused.
“But he has always worked hard for us. He has given us a comfortable life. I know he loves us.”
Rohan nodded.
“I can tell.”
Mamta looked at him.
“But?”
He didn't finish the sentence.
He let her decide if she wanted to.
She looked away.
“Sometimes distance changes things.”
Her voice became softer.
“Not love. Not respect.”
She paused.
“Just... the little things.”
“What little things?”
“The conversations at the end of the day. Someone noticing when you are tired. Someone asking what you are thinking about.”
The words came out more honestly than she expected.
She immediately became aware of how much she had revealed.
Rohan did notice the dissatisfaction in her voice.
He could understand that she is opening up.
He is imagining her in his arms.
He is imagining making out with her in the very sofa in the same living room very soon.
He simply said,
“I think everyone deserves to feel seen.”
That sentence stayed with her.
She looked at him quietly.
Then she smiled a little.
“I suppose everyone changes.”
“You think so?”
“Yes.”
She looked around the apartment.
The question surprised her.
