it's another day (part 2)

As he was adjusting the orientation of his massive car, the cell phone started ringing with a start. He bent his head to check the caller and immediately picked up the phone in a hurry as if another second's delay in responding to the call would decide life and death.

"Hi...so...are you okay now? Feeling stronger? Just woke up?" He said trying to sound calm but his voice betrayed his effort.

“Where the hell are you?"

"Well...look...I was there by the side of your bed till twelve in the morning. Seeing your face I felt that you were recovering quickly. The deathly pallor was gone and it was full of life although you were sound asleep then."

“Come on...don't talk in riddles. Have you deserted me? Talk straight."

“Ahh...you don't understand...I did not leave you for ever... I have an extremely urgent work to attend to and I will be back in say another two days. Till then you will surely recover completely. Your kitchen is fully stuffed with all kinds of fruits and other stuff. Don't worry at all. When I come back two days later, we can then...

“Don't give me that crap. I have heard all that many times from you. You just left me at large to rot alone. You are running to that bloody bitch; the bitch that you call your wife. You are nothing more than a spineless prick, you know."

“You are misunderstanding me. It's not my wife I am running for. I told you that I have some extremely urgent work that I must attend to."

"Tell me! What is that work?"

"Well..."

"That bitch wants to sleep with you right now? She can't wait?” "Oh! You are impossible. It's my son's admission in school and they want to interview the parents. I have to be there tomorrow morning. I have no choice."

"Hmm...I see. I can understand ... either it's a ploy of that slut or it's you who has built the story...but what can I do! Nothing!” She started sobbing convulsively.

"Please...please try to understand ... I am not going away or anything...it's just a few days and I shall be back. In this condition of health you are advised to avoid any kind of excitement. Please don't сry.

“What is it that I have? You tell me...a kitchen full of fruits? A nice apartment with marble floor and a host of expensive furniture? A car waiting at the parking lot? And...and? What?" “What else do you want? Name it and I shall make it yours. What have I not done for you till date? And still you gulped those sleeping pills!"

"Why? Don't you know what I want? I spit on this house and the car...take them away...I don't want them. I want you to marry me and leave that baggage behind. But you are not doing it. You are a coward and a greedy animal. You want both. You want your cushy doting home with that bitch in it and at the same time you want a beautiful young woman stashed somewhere two hundred kilometers away as a mistress so that you can use her for your carnal satisfaction as and when you want. Right? But no! I am not going to let it happen. You will either marry me or I shall destroy your tender and pristine home...do you understand?”
