“What’s wrong?” Steven asked the moment Hugh opened the door and startled him. If there was someone to know him as well as he himself hid, অথবা even আরো – it was Steven.
“Nothing… What do আপনি mean?” Hugh lied and of course, failed to deceive his best friend.
“Fight with Lisa?” Steven gave Hugh a quizzical look as they headed to the back yard.
Maybe Hugh should say yes. Get Steven out of his hair. However, he would know if he was lying, so Hugh chose to stay silent.
They seated themselves around the garden table.
“Hugh, আপনি can’t fool me… What happened?” Steve bugged him again. Hugh thought about his question. ‘What happened?’. A lot of things happened… Some amazing and weird things, one that hurt him, but he would never admit.
Just then Estelle appeared with a tray. She put two cups of চা in front of them and excused herself.
“So?” Steve was persistent; Hugh knew he had to tell him something.
“Ok already…” Hugh sort of gave in “We… kind of had a fight last night” he took a sip from his cup.
“Bedroom problems? What did আপনি do?” Steve’s eyes sparkled.
“Steven, just because your character is psychologist, doesn’t mean আপনি are” Hugh laughed a little.
“I can say I’ve been yours for quite a while. Now, tell me” he smirked.
There was a creepy silence for a মিনিট অথবা two, nothing but the sound of the pool water stroked দ্বারা wind filling the yard.
“I was tired… and she… wasn’t” Hugh had no idea how to talk about this subject with his best friend. Sure, they talked about everything, but this was… different.
“Are আপনি serious?” Steve’s voice echoed just like the little voice Hugh heard the night before, when he’d pushed Lisa from him.
Hugh nodded a little.
“Hugh… come on! Talk to me! আপনি never had this problem before..” Steven took a sip as well “Good as always” he made a small comment
“Yeah, isn’t it” Hugh approved
“Enough with the tea… Tell me!” he gave Hugh ‘the look’. The one that ব্যক্ত ‘you’re not getting away with this’.
“I was just, tired” Hugh found a way to escape that look. He felt wrong for lying to his best friend.
“You’re never tired! আপনি come প্রথমপাতা from the set tired as never and আপনি can still satisfy your wife every time, so what’s wrong?” Steve made Hugh look up. How did he even talk about that with Steve? He would lie if he weren’t a bit proud he did, though.
However, Hugh being unable to tell him what he really needed to, made Hugh really uneasy.
“What do আপনি want to hear?” Hugh snapped. He was desperate. “That I wake up one morning with Lisa as my wife and Elyon and Nick as our kids and I have no idea how it happened?”
Steven didn’t take him seriously, unsurprisingly.
“Just because your character is sarcastic, doesn’t mean আপনি are” Steven gave him ‘the look’ again.
“So… Come on, back to the problem” Steve ব্যক্ত in his ‘Sherlock Holmes’ tone.
Hugh couldn’t say a word. He actually ব্যক্ত what he wanted to say and it made no difference. He didn’t mean to Steve, he meant to himself. He realized that wasn’t what had been bothering him since he woke up. What was it then?
“Hugh, আপনি know what this reminds me of?” Hugh looked up at his friend’s words.
“The time আপনি had come to me and didn’t know how to tell me আপনি got Lisa pregnant and that she didn’t want to hear a word about আপনি divorcing Jo. আপনি were doomed, she didn’t want আপনি to risk your family for her.”
That was intriguing… Lisa was so unselfish.
“What about that?” Maybe Steve could tell him আরো about it.
“Even then, Hugh, even when আপনি found yourself in a position where আপনি could lose both Lisa and your unborn kid, আপনি found a way to share it with me. Just like আপনি will now” Steve grinned victoriously, and Hugh hated to admit he was right.
“There’s nothing to be shared.” He lied again, but that was his only option.
The thing he didn’t detect still bugged him. Damn, what was it?
Steve looked around the yard for a few seconds, then his eyes shot up at Hugh.
“Are আপনি having an affair?” Steve caught Hugh of guard. What startled Hugh আরো was how Steven asked it as if it were the most usual thing.
“What? No!!!” Hugh would never cheat on Lisa, he was positive. But he did say that about Jo and he cheated on her once… well, with Lisa, twice.
He felt guilty and ashamed. What else could Steve make off of this all?
“What’s wrong then?” His friend knew Hugh wasn’t lying about that one.
“I don’t know” Hugh really didn’t, he tried to realize something “ I wanted to talk to her…” there “Just talked to her, and she turned her back on me” he found it, finally.
“I see… was there something else? Why did আপনি want to talk to her in the first place?” Steve seemed confused. Hugh thought about what he asked him. He wanted to talk to her about anything. He wanted to believe there was something else to their marriage besides raising kids and sex. And… Hugh still didn’t want to admit it, but… he now knew that the fact she didn’t reply him when he told her he প্রণয় her, hurt him.
That was why his হৃদয় ached from the start.
“I told her… I loved her last night…” he took a sip of his চা again, not bothering to say আরো about it.
“So? You’ve told her that before” Steve took a sip as well.
“She replied with ‘see আপনি tomorrow’” Hugh felt a lump in his throat.
“Oh, that’s not pleasant” Steve seemed to start understanding.
“I just… Hate to think there is nothing but sex and kids in our marriage. Let’s face it… Sex will… subside and kids will grow up. What will it be there for us then?” Hugh felt weird about it. Unwrapping the smallest things that bothered him and realizing they weren’t that small, was unusual experience.
“I think that has been your problem ever since আপনি got together. It started only with sex, then আপনি left Jo and আপনি just got with Lisa আপনি never discussed it, then আপনি got a kid and then another one… আপনি never really talked about things, they just happened. আপনি weren’t looking for talk back then, and now, as you’ve gotten older you’re beginning to realize আপনি missed on that.” Steve paused to take yet another sip of tea.
“Let me ask আপনি one thing. IF আপনি could go back in time, knowing where you’d be now, would আপনি change anything?”
Steven’s প্রশ্ন was meant to throw him, and it did, just not in the ways Steven would imagine. ‘If আপনি could go back in time’ Hugh wasn’t sure in which time he was.
“I would…” he thought about it… He would want to be a better man “ I would maybe divorce Jo before I got with Lisa… and I’d talk about everything with Lisa more. Other things, I wouldn’t ever change. Though, if I did change anything, that would probably mean I wouldn’t have my kids… and I’m not sure I would sacrifice them for some talk”
It wasn’t easy thinking about it.
“It’s late to change anything, but আপনি could start talking to Lisa, it’s not late. Think about it” Steve finished his চা and placed the empty cup back on the table.
“That’s what I was trying to do… But she seems not to be into it…” Hugh sighed.
“Maybe আপনি weren’t trying hard enough”
Steven’s words kept ringing in Hugh’s head for a long time.
My chapters have become so long lately!!!
Did আপনি know I already wrote আরো pages than Max in total? Seriously XD
Oh... so what do আপনি say? Any good?
Hilly not a দুশ্চরিত্রা anymore? XD
Well, that's unlikely to change, but... আপনি can hope XDDDDDDDDD
