Radha - Last Part

He got up late. It was a Saturday so he didn't had to go to the office. He came out and saw Radha arranging stuff around. Breakfast was on the table. She had made aloo paranthas. He took the news paper and sat on the dining chair. He had his breakfast. Radha kept moving around the house arranging cushions, newspapers and everything that surrounded her. 

She looked happy and engaged. She had a different energy in her. He peeked at her hiding himself behind the newspaper. She saw him looking at her. She had to talk to him. 

On saturdays, Akshay generally rests at home. Sometimes, he goes out with his friends. He had planned to watch a football match on the tv. Radha does not watch football. Initially, when she had found out about Akshay's deep interest in football, she wanted to get involved and watch football with him. He felt very uncomfortable with her around watching the match with him, jumping and cheering. He wanted to enjoy it alone or with his friends. So, one day he told her. She stopped watching football after that. 

She bought two cups of coffee and sat near him.

He was flipping through the tv channels. She got up and switched off the tv. 

He was confused. She came back and sat near him.

Akshay looked at her with bewilderment. 

Radha said, "I have to talk to you."

Akshay was surprised. He felt a wave of anxiety running across his spine. He felt uneasy. Last time when she had said something like that, she had gone to her parents house for a month. She did not even texted him once. He also did not care much. He called her after 15 days or so. She did not wanted to come back. He was facing a lot of issues without her so he was very angry. She had gone and did not even inform him that she planned to live at her mother's place for so long. He did not wanted to go and bring her back. He had to get up in the morning and worry not just about the office but hundred other things. He never realized how much she was taking care of when she was there. He spent restless nights. He was not really needy on most of the days and he did not bother if she was. But the days he wanted her, he would just go to her and start doing whatever he felt like. She would not even feel the excitement and he would be done by then. Initially, she did not wanted to hurt him and went along. But later, she started making excuses and out rightly rejected his demands. She would even push him away. Once, he got very angry and could not understand why was she pushing him away. Was he not providing her what she wanted? He got confused and angry. It hurt his ego very much. That night, he slept off in confusion. Next day, he came home for lunch and again approached her. She again pushed him but this time he did not stop. He went inside her. She was shocked and surprised. She shouted but he covered her mouth with his hand. He left her crying and went to the office. She called her home and told her mother everything. Her mother asked her why didn't she let him do it. She was surprised. She stopped complaining to her parents after that.

That was the last time. He did not force him onto her after that. He felt bad about what he did but he never mentioned it to her. He thought if he would say sorry she would get more power to refuse to a lot of other things. He felt that he was taking the right approach. But he did not touch her after that incident without her consent. There were days when she also used him. She would want sex and nothing more. She would ignore all the distances and have him. Later, they would behave as if nothing happened.  

Radha was calling him. He came back to his senses. He realized she wanted to talk to her and was anxiously waiting to start. 

Akshay said, "tell me".

Radha said, " I have taken a decision".

Akshay asked, "About what?".

Radha said, "About us".

Akshay felt the same wave of anxiety striking his spine again. She looked very determined. They were about to talk about something which he had assumed they would never have to. 

Radha spoke then. She spoke for a few minutes only. She didn't care enough to explain much. She was leaving him and was shifting in with Vatsya. 

She said, " It's not about her accommodating me in her life. It's about you never accommodating me in yours."

Akshay could not speak.  

She went inside and packed her bags. He was still sitting on the dining chair. He heard a loud noise coming from a distance. The match had started.
