Disguised Infidelity: Part III
A Beautiful Night
Kaira found the thought of being with Bud more magnetic than the guilt of hiding it. She loved her man, but that didn’t teach her to restrict her desires for anyone else. She wanted to tell him, but his reaction scared her to the core. Sitting besides her man that morning, she held her confidant (phone) in one hand, while brushing his hair lovingly with the other. Looking at him sleeping naively, she recalled the first day they had discovered their love for each other.
It was a beautiful night. Both were drenched in the newly shared revelation of love. She was quite sloshed, he wasn’t any less drunk. Giggling, laughing, and unable to contain their excitement of expressing their attraction towards each other, they kissed in the car parked near a road-side stall. High on rum, and higher on an irresistible affection, they demanded pledges from each other for the years to come. He demanded, “I want all your attention throughout our lives”. She affirms, “I want to be your highest priority, always.” Both of them looked into each other’s eyes, smiled in agreement, and felt that everything would be in place forever.
Sigh! That one beautiful night- 4 years, 7 months and 4 days back; and this one beautiful night- yesterday’s! She is glad, nothing has changed. She is glad that even if they would forget the words they had said, they would only act in the way they had promised. They would never let the other one have a sinking heart. They would never leave the other one alone in the time of need. They would never love the other any less.
“I still love him a lot”, she defended herself. “But does that stop me from loving myself any less?”, she questioned silently, after slipping into her favorite dress while getting ready for her date with Bud.
