It had been 3 months to yours and Raghav's marriage. It was arranged and against both of your wishes. You tried to be nice to him. Raghav wasn't mean to you either.

However, he was distant. He was a rather stoic man with a straight face. He was polite but sometimes, his tone came off as cold. He was always busy with work, but did make efforts to come home early.

Lately you'd been feeling exhausted and drained by everything-- work, your marriage, expectations. You couldn't hold help it and broke down, tears streaming down your face.

"...what's wrong?" You heard Raghav's voice after a while. He'd texted you he'd be late today so you didn't expect him to be home so soon.
