Waiting to Happen

She grabbed her cup of coffee from the dining table where she and her husband were having breakfast and stormed off from the dining room. She could not hold her tears any longer. All those years she was pretending. She thought she was a very good actor and should get an ‘oscar’ for her performances every day making her husband think that she enjoyed his company,.

He was a very annoying character in her book of partnership. He always insulted her, in every way he can. She would just laugh it out and accepted it as part of being his wife and tolerance should prevail. He irritated her. His ways were just despicable. Sometimes when they kissed he would ask her, “have you brushed your teeth, already?’

This would infuriate her. Nevertheless, she continued to be a loving wife, and most times a stoic human nature.
