The weather is cold. The snow has started to fall. it is ice cold externally.
Rajan sat on the couch. his head was splitting with pain. He wanted to have a cup of coffee. "Manju" , he called. Getting no reply, he looked around and was about to call again, the door opened, In came Jane .
She was not in her usual mood. She threw herself beside him. When he attempted to open the conversation she flew back with rage. She shouted calling him names. She alleged that it was because of him that she was fired by her superiors. Rajan was already down and Jane's rage added fuel to the fire. He spat back at her. Ugly scenes followed. Each one accusing and engaging in tantrums. Jane finally got into the bedroom and slammed the door. Rajan burst into tears. His mind unnecessarily went back to his lovely home. Manju's smile haunted him.
He lay there in the couch for long. Jane did not open the door. She lay there after consuming a peg of whisky. She forgot the world around her. She forgot Rajan and the way she behaved with him. She slept the whole night peacefully.
In the morning, Rajan woke up. He was sore and deeply hurt. He had a quick bath and went out into the town to have his breakfast. Then he walked into his office with head bowed down. his friends gave a warm smile. A few of them were aware of his disastrous move. They did not break open the topic but talked among themselves. They could assess his situation. " What , a fool, he is. He had a such a beautiful family . He has foolishly left them believing in this woman". Rajan could understand but he kept quiet.
His senior called him and said the work load is very heavy and Rajan has to work an hour more to clear them . Rajan could not say no to him . he just nodded his head and returned to his seat. Back in his work , he saw the load lying in front of him. Normally he would clear any number of papers in no time. But today he was down with regret and self pity. His head was nagging and he had not had a proper meal these five days. he felt weak and exhausted. He tried to concentrate but could not . By noon he was taken up by fatigue, he slumped on his chair and lay unconscious for a while.His colleagues rushed to him and took him to the nearby hospital. The y did not whom to call, Manju or Jane.
The afternoon weather was not reliable . The winds swept heavy .
