Trisha looked disgusted. “Are you kidding me? You are so full of yourself! Let me rephrase your memory. You just told me that you have been cheating on me! Me, your wife! The woman you married two years ago, remember? The woman who supported you because you were working on a big deal for the last couple of weeks.” Trisha said with a raised voice. “Now I can be added to the statistics.  I am also one of those women whose husband has cheated on them while the wife was thinking that he was working hard…working hard cuddling another woman….and more!” She looked at Karan as if she was possessed by the Goddess Kali herself.

Trisha shook her head and looked curious at Karan. “Who is this other woman, do I know her,” she said in a demanding voice.

That witch!

Karan stared at the floor and scraped his throat. Trisha saw that he was wondering whether he should answer her. He fidgeted with his wedding band. Trisha wanted to walk towards him and smack him in his face. She almost did but refrained for doing so.

“It’s Catherine” he said in a hesitant voice.

She looked him in the eyes. Her eyes were big and filled with anger. “That witch!” She spatted. “That witch!” “We had invited her to our wedding! She was on the dance floor with her husband all night.” Trisha had the urge to throw something at him but calmed herself down. “She knew that you were married.  And you knew that she was married, but still you both choose to cheat on us. Really, I cannot believe this! How could you do this to me? How? Why?” Trisha was confused.

It takes two to tango

Trisha now pictured how she would punch Catherine on her eye and when she had fallen down Trisha would stand on her hand with her high heels. On those very hands who had the nerve to caress her husband. She pictured how she would tie both of them and then torture them. It startled Trisha that she had such a violent mind.  But at the same time it felt good. It takes two to tango Trisha, don’t forget that, it was her inner voice.

“They got divorced six months ago,” said Karan.

“What!” You didn’t tell me that! Trisha paused and continued in a loud voice. Now she wondered if she really should smack him. “Let me get this straight. That witch got divorced and threw herself on you. Might I remind you, a married man? Who happens to be my husband?” Trisha spoke in a loud but calm voice. Wondering how she could keep so calm.

You will always be by number one

“Well, it didn’t exactly go like that.” He pressed his lips together. Trisha saw that he was thinking what to say next.  “She was feeling down and was going through some rough times because of her divorce. She needed someone who was willing to listen. I don’t know when it happened, it just happened.”

Trisha sighed deep “cut this shit!  Tell someone else this crappy sad story. She needed a shoulder to cry on and someone to …” she didn’t finish the sentence.

“But did you hear what I said before. I love you and I want to be with you, Trisha.”

“If you loved me, you wouldn’t be cheating on me, would you? Because a decent married man doesn´t cheat on his wife” her tone was now loud and aggressive. She felt tears welling up and took a deep breath. She wasn’t going to cry in front of him!

“But you will always be my number one.” Karan said in a desperate voice.
