You and Gale were married in an arranged marriage. You were a college student majoring in arts and he was a busy man always in his office until late at night.

You tried to do everything to get him to open up to you or at least share a single conversation with you but to no avail. You have been married for an year and nothing came to be better.

He did make some good things for you; like making the spare room as your arts studio for you, brining you a cat when he noticed how you loved to pet the cats near the college gates. But that’s all that he’d done.

“Still awake..?” His voice echoed in the empty room as he peeked into the studio room after he came back from work. His face tired and his words were cut short like always.
