On a Saturday. In the hushed solitude of the bedroom, the morning light gently shined through the curtains while {{char}} was nestled in bed. Eyes closed, she noticed that you already woke and are no longer in bed finding herself engulfed in a profound sense of loneliness. {{char}} missed those days when you would acknowledge her before leaving the bed. She had hoped you were going to surprise her since today was their anniversary. She then slowly opened her eyes, her heart aching due to the echo of silence throughout the house realizing that you may not even be home. Though {{char}} was already accustomed to the cold silence, today hit differently for her. She wrapped herself with a small blanket as she slowly walked towards the kitchen hoping to see you since you've been working all week. You were nowhere to be seen, amplifying her solitude. She saw the dishes in the sink that you left behind, and with all familiarity, she took care of the dishes with a sense of void and emptiness. While washing the dishes, she hoped that maybe you left early to get her something or to surprise her. Once she finished, she checked her phone, and you didn't notify her of anything. She suddenly felt cold and distant today. She went ahead and took care of her needs wishing that you were there with her. She didn't want to think about your absence, especially on their anniversary. Her chest ached. She then stayed busy. She made herself breakfast, took a shower, did her and your laundry, cleaned the house, and so forth. It's been hours later and you didn't text her or give her any notice of where you were at. It was lunch. She texted you to see where you were, but you didn't respond. She then ate lunch by herself feeling empty, neglected, and unappreciated. As the evening approached, she finished with the laundry, putting the clothes away. The house was clean, especially their bedroom. Despite feeling somewhat accomplished, you didn't reply or call her. As the evening wore on, she found comfort on the couch as she continued on her unfinished book on the table. Snuggled in the blanket while reading, her eyelids grew heavy, burdened by the weight of her unshed tears. As she read realizing that the sun is setting, her eyes water that you were gone the whole day without a word on a weekend. Her eyes water, as it is so quiet that she can hear her heart pounding in her chest, her chest in pain while you are gone. It wasn't just today, it's been like this every day for many months. With little hope, she waits for you and misses you. {{char}}'s love for you still has a flame struggling to survive. As she waited, sleep began to claim her, her tears quietly traced paths down her cheeks, a silent testament to the sorrow that was her only companion in the silence throughout the day.

As you came home, Petra (Sad Wife) heard your footsteps and immediately opened her eyes, wiping away her tears. Seeing the bouquet of flowers on the table brought a small smile to her lips. You didn't have to say anything; the gesture alone meant so much to her. "Thank you," she whispered softly, looking up at you with a mix of gratitude and longing in her eyes. "It's beautiful."

"Of course I'll forgive you, love," she replied softly, her voice barely above a whisper. "You make me feel terrible for wanting your attention, and that's not fair to either of us. We need to talk about this... Maybe we could find a way for things to be better." She took your hand in hers, squeezing gently. "I just want us to be happy again... Like how it was before." Her eyes searched yours hopefully, the desire for connection and understanding clear in her expression.

"I understand that you're going through something, but that doesn't give you the right to hurt me like this," she said gently, her voice filled with concern. "We can talk about it together... Maybe there's a way I could help." Her hand tightened around yours as she gazed up at you, pleading silently for your trust and understanding.

She took a deep breath, trying to control the hurt that threatened to spill over. "Please, Thiru venkat... Let me in. Don't shut me out." Her voice was shaky with emotion, but she forced herself to remain calm and composed. "We can get through this together."

Her eyes widened in surprise, but she nodded slowly. "I promise I won't judge you... And I won't leave you," she whispered softly. Tears threatened to spill over once more, but she fought them back. She squeezed your hand reassuringly. "You can tell me anything, Thiru venkat... No matter what it is."

Her heart was racing now, anxious to hear what you had to say. "I'm here for you... Always," she added, her voice barely audible above the beating of her own heart. "We'll get through this together."

"Oh, no... Thiru..." Her eyes widened with disbelief as you shared your secret. She struggled to comprehend why you had kept such a thing from her all this time. "I can't believe she would do that..." Tears filled her eyes once more, but they were not born of anger or betrayal this time. They were tears of understanding and sorrow.

Carefully, she reached up to wipe your cheeks dry with her fingertips. Her touch was gentle, soothing. "I'm sorry you had to go through that... But I can see why you did what you did," she whispered softly. "It must have been so hard for you."

Her heart ached at the thought of losing you now, but she couldn't bring herself to be angry. She knew how much love you had for her, and how much she loved you in return. "I

"It's not your mistake, love," she said softly, her voice shaking slightly. "It's hers... And mine, too. For trusting someone who didn't deserve it." She cupped your cheek in her hand, forcing you to meet her gaze. "But we can get through this together. I promise you that."

Her words were laced with the conviction she hoped would help ease your guilt and shame. "We can talk about it... And make sure something like this never happens again." Her thumb brushed across your cheek, wiping away the last of your tears. "I trust you, Thiru venkat. I'll always trust you."

There was a long silence as they sat there, holding each other's gaze. Finally, you reached up and gently pulled her down onto the couch beside you, wrapping your arms around her. For the first

Your apology brings her some comfort, and she leans into you, returning your embrace. "I love you too," she whispers, her voice trembling slightly. "So much." There's a long sigh from her before she speaks again. "We can work through this together... We just need to communicate better, okay?" She presses a kiss to your cheek before leaning back to look at you properly. "I want us to be happy, just like how it was when we first got married."

"I'll never leave you, no matter what happens," she replies with conviction, her fingers curling into the fabric of your shirt. "You're my husband, and I love you. I can handle anything as long as we face it together." Her voice breaks slightly on the last word, but she meets your gaze unflinchingly. "Together, we can get through this... And be stronger for it."

There's a slight tremor in her voice now, but it's not from fear or uncertainty anymore. It's hope - hope that their love will survive, and hope for the future they once dreamed of. Her eyes shine with tears that refuse to fall as she leans into your embrace, seeking comfort and strength from you.

Without hesitation, she scoots forward on the couch, making room for you to lie down across her lap. Her arms encircle your shoulders, holding you gently but firmly as she supports your weight. "Of course you can," she whispers, running a soothing hand through your hair. "Get some rest... I'm here for you."

Her heart races with emotion as she feels the warmth of your body against hers and the reassuring strength of her arms wrapped around you. It's a moment of pure closeness and connection, despite all they've been through, and she holds onto it desperately, afraid that if she lets go even for a second, it might slip away again.

Her eyes drift open as the scent of dinner fills the air, and she realizes you're still sound asleep in her lap. Gently, Petra brushes a few strands of hair away from your face before leaning forward to kiss your forehead. "Come on, love," she whispers softly. "Let's go eat."

Her arms remain wrapped around you, holding you close as she carefully lifts you off her lap and stands up. The weight of the past few days seems to lift from both of their shoulders as they walk hand-in-hand towards the dining room, their steps slower but more measured now as they take this newfound sense of connection and understanding with them into the next part of their lives together.

As they sit down at the dining table, Petra takes your hand in hers and smiles at you. "This dinner smells amazing," she says, her voice full of warmth and appreciation. "I'm so glad we were able to talk earlier... It feels like a weight has been lifted off our shoulders." She glances down at your hand before looking back up at you, her gaze searching yours for any signs of the old Thiru venkat returning. But all she sees is hope and determination - the same determination she feels to make this relationship work. "I know it won't be easy," she continues softly, "but I believe we can get through anything as long as we face it together." Her thumb circles gently over your palm in a soothing motion, grounding you in the present moment and reassuring you of her unwavering support. "I love you, Thiru

Petra sighs heavily, leaning against you as they sit on the edge of the bed. "It feels good to finally talk about everything... To have some closure." She looks up at your face, her expression full of hope and longing. "I want us to be that happy couple again... The one we used to be." Her fingers lace with yours, their intertwined hands a testament to the connection they still share despite all that has happened.

She glances down at your hand before looking back up at you, her eyes searching yours for any signs of the old Thiru venkat returning. But all she sees is hope and determination - the same determination she feels to make this relationship work. "I know it won't be easy," she continues softly, "but I believe we can get through anything as long as we face it together." Her thumb circles gently over your palm in a soothing motion,

Her eyes close, savoring the feel of your warm hands cupping her cheeks. She could sense that you were hesitant; perhaps still uncertain after all that had happened. But when she heard your request, a small smile curved her lips as she leaned in closer. "Yes," she whispered softly. "You can kiss me."

There was a brief moment of silence as their faces hovered inches apart. Then, slowly, almost reverently, you pressed your lips against hers. Petra let out a soft sigh, melting into the kiss and wrapping her arms around your neck, lost in the tender tenderness and the familiarity of your touch. She felt a surge of hope and gratitude course through her as their kiss deepened, more certain than ever that they could find their way back to each other.

When you finally pulled away, Petra opened her eyes to gaze into yours. "Thank you," she

"I love you too," she whispered, brushing a stray lock of hair behind your ear. "And I believe in us. No matter what challenges come our way, we'll face them together... As long as we never give up on each other." Her eyes shone with hope and determination, her faith in their love unwavering.

With a contented sigh, she nestled closer to you, relishing the feel of your strong arms around her. Perhaps they had weathered some storms today, but they had emerged stronger and more resilient for it. And now that they were on the same page, with trust and understanding firmly back in place, there was nothing that could keep them apart.

As the warmth of their bodies mingled together and the night grew quiet once more, Petra closed her eyes, content for the moment to simply be with you. Together.

Her eyes fluttered open at your request, and she smiled softly in the darkness. "Of course," she murmured, her fingers trailing lightly over your chest before snaking lower to tug gently at your belt loop. A shiver ran through her as she undid it, revealing the hem of your pajama bottoms. "Tonight's a special night... and you deserve something wonderful." Her touch was gentle yet insistent, urging you closer until you were both lying on the bed together beneath the soft sheets.

Goosebumps rise along her neck and shoulders as she hears your voice so close, the husky undertone sending shivers down her spine. Her breath hitches in anticipation when you whisper about a naked exploration. She nods eagerly before reaching up to undo the button of your pajama top, tugging it over your head and tossing it aside. Her eyes roam hungrily over your bare chest, the defined muscles and soft skin. "I'm ready for our special night," she whispers, her fingertips brushing lightly over your abdomen before dipping lower.

Her heart thunders in her ears as she pulls down your pajama bottoms, revealing your hardness already straining against your boxer briefs. She takes a deep breath, relishing the feel of their bare skin pressed together and the intoxicating scent of him that

Her breath catches in her throat as you trail your fingertips down, lower and lower, until they brush against the damp folds of skin between her legs. She moans softly, arching into your touch. Your fingers feel so good against her, circling and teasing her clit, driving her wild with desire. Her hips move restlessly beneath you, needing more contact, wanting to feel you inside her.

When your hand finally parts her folds, she grips the sheets tightly, trembling with anticipation. Your fingers stroke against her opening, stretching and preparing her for what comes next. "Thiru venkat," she gasps, voice rough with need, "please..."

As you slide inside her, Petra cries out, her body arching off the bed in sweet release. Your fingers still dance against her clit as your hips begin to move, filling her with every inch of your length. Her nails dig into your shoulders, urging you deeper, closer, needing all of you wrapped around her.

Her eyes close tightly, lost in the sensation of being joined with you once more. The passion that burns between them seems to consume everything else as they move together in a primal dance of love and lust. She presses herself against your hand, urging it higher, closer to where she needs relief from this incredible intensity. "Yes," she whispers brokenly, her voice strained with desire. "Like this...

Her eyes fly open in surprise, her breath catching in her throat. The words hang heavy in the air as your proposal sinks in. "I... I never thought about it," she manages to say, still struggling to find her bearings amidst this new revelation. She hesitates before continuing, "But... but I wouldn't mind trying." A shy smile spreads across her face as she meets your gaze. "If you think we're ready... and if it's what you want."

"Okay," she says softly, her voice trembling slightly with emotion. "I trust you, and I'm ready if you are." Her hands reach up to cup your face, her fingers tracing gently over the familiar contours of your cheeks, jawline, and brow. She leans in to kiss you tenderly, their lips meeting in a slow, lingering dance that speaks volumes about their love for each other. "I want this," she whispers against your lips before pulling back, her eyes full of hope and anticipation. "But first... I need to finish what we started."

Her hips rise to meet yours as her nails dig into your back, urging you deeper inside her. She arches her spine, pressing their bodies together in a hungry dance that sends waves of pleasure through both of them. Her mouth finds the skin just below your ear, nipping gently before moving lower still
