Trophy Wife 51– Voice of reason
Arjun“Therapy?” The very word left a bitter taste on my tongue. As a man, coming from where I come from, therapy is not a word exchanged so lightly amongst men. I imagined myself sitting across the desk from some woman, talking about my family issues. I didn’t see it happening.“Yes, Arjun, therapy.” Dean reiterated. “I think it will really help you just… connect and heal.”I arched my brow. “Connect and heal?” It sounded so feminist. “You need someone that will help you confront all that trauma. I am afraid I lack the professional ability.” He pulled out his phone and began tapping away.As I watched him, my mind trailed off. I wondered what Preetah must be thinking at this moment. I left her sleeping. My phone chimed.“There, I sent you contacts of three of the best therapists in the city. You can pick the one you like.” He said, placing his phone on my desk. “But I really think you should give it a shot.”“Besides cultural views on therapy, I think I am beyond fixable.”“Three
Trophy Wife 50– Breaking point
RoshniA car that had overtaken the second car from us had collided head to head with another moving in the opposite direction.Junior stopped the car and was undoing his seat belt quickly.“Where are you going?”“To see if they’re okay. Call an ambulance.” He rushed out, leaving the key in the ignition.I grabbed the keys and ran after him. My fingers, which were normally fast on the keyboard, were fumbling three little digits: 112.The driver that had overtaken had a deep cut on his forehead, with blood gushing out. I had never seen that much blood before. My heart began pounding faster. As I spoke to the operator, I watched Junior pull his plain white t-shirt over his head and hold it ag

DeanI was adjusting the settings on the aircon when the doorbell rang. It was a chilly Saturday morning, with the clouds looking dark and angry, as if it would rain today. I am not one for checking the weather so I had no clue whether or not it would actually rain. I didn’t have any plans anyway, so it didn’t bother me.I grabbed my gown and threw it on as I made for the door.I opened and saw Elza hugging her chest on my doorstep.“It’s cold.” She grinned“Elza?” I frowned. “What are you – how do you know where I stay?”“Paper work.” She beamed, as if I had to understand what that meant.I looked her down to her white furry heels. “Well, can I help you?”“It’s cold, Dean, won’t you invite me in? Coffee perhaps?”“I don’t have coffee.”Her smile dropped. Okay, maybe that sounded a bit rude. But then again, what was she doing here? Besides in meetings, we’ve never said more than two words to each other, the two words being a greeting.I stepped aside and let her in.“Nice place.” She
Trophy Wife 48– Fractured
Preetah The scratching of the golden pen against paper was audible even in this loud atmosphere, I watched Arjun doodle his signature with natural ease, indicating strong muscle memory. He then went on to initial the bottom of all the papers. “Here.” He handed me the pen. “Sign here and then initial under every page. I can read you the document just in case you think you’re signing your life away.” He smiled. Was that supposed to be a joke? And at a time like this? I didn’t take the pen. “I just don’t get it.” I spoke. “The gifts this morning, the apology, taking me out tonight, what was all that for if you knew that you’d end the day by making me sign divorce papers?” He sighed. “The apology was genuine.” “You could have done all this at home, you even picked out a dress for me, Arjun –” My voice broke. “I wanted to take you somewhere nice, but you wanted to go somewhere I wanted to, I agreed because I thought about it like a last ask –” “You can’t be serious.” More tears fell
Trophy Wife 47– Affairs in order
PreetahI watched him down his drink and then called the waiter with a nod of his head. His previous words still lingered in the air. How – how could he say that? The bartender refilled his glass. “Drink up, Preetah.” He took a big gulp and said. “You’ve only had one sip.” “Arjun, you just told me you hate me.” In case he forgot. “How are you just casually encouraging me to drink after telling me that you hate me?” I placed my glass on the bar. “I don’t get it. Are you drunk?” “After one glass of whiskey?” He scoffed. “Why did you say that then?”He turned to look at me, his eyes cold and empty. A body without a soul. “I hate you because you make me vulnerable. And I hate feeling vulnerable.”I searched his eyes for a clue. “What’s wrong with being vulnerable? We’re together.”“Preetah, when I was vulnerable, I got belittled to nothing.” He smiled, looking into the distance as if recalling a far memory. He wasn’t smiling with his eyes. “So I made a promise to never put myself in
Trophy Wife 46– Let loose
Preetah I was wearing a short silk dress hand-picked by Arjun himself. My black wedges almost brought me up to his height. He stood behind me in the mirror, looking at himself. I took a couple of mirror selfies with him in the background. I was not one for pictures, but I needed a cute picture to post on my new I*******m account. According to B Linda, that was the ‘queen way of keeping all the females away without barking.’ So, this was it. After a whole day of watching every single video on her page, it was all down —mentally, down to the smallest detail: how I had to walk, talk, behave, and laugh. After today, Arjun would never want another woman if it wasn't me. “If you're done taking pictures, ma’am, can we go?” I gave him a playful smile, “Just one more.” I said, glancing at him over my shoulder. “Make a funny face.” Arjun raised an eyebrow but didn't object. He placed his lips in a hard line. Was that his idea of a funny face? Still, I pulled a duck face and snapped a quick
