Extra-marital

A Screenplay by Aaana

There's a vivid chattering indoor.The night is embraced in arms of cold subtle wind.

She is there with this guy whom she consciously is in a relationship with.

Door bell rings.

She, looks at the door with a wrinkled forehead .

Unlocks .

There's a moment of silence .

This man , his swift moves like he has been here a couple of times.The tense air between him and her.

2:37 a.m.

His mere presence was enough to begin a new termoil in her personal life ...

She manages to convince her wud be family that he is just a friend .

4:47 a.m

He is on a call, conversation seems like he is all set to leave, to board a flight. His aura is of a man ,who has practiced discipline nd carved his success with countless working hours and sleepless nights.His stubborn look is explanatory of his defined boundaries. And with a man like that her equation definitely is skeptical.

.....

........

..........

She is busy mendeling in kitchen , makes his way to her. Grabs her by her arm. And there's a prolonged silence surrounding the hiss of conversation between them

HE...

"What is it that u share with me ? is it any kinda relationship that got me to get so vulnerable ,vent out my nerves ,pain ,agony.fear ,failures, my life ,everything . Cry out infront of you ,like a homeless kid who finally seeked a forever shelter. It took us a reasonable time to be where we are ,i was a work in progress ,i did take time and with stability i seeked a home in you. A part of you has been devoted to someone ,making peace, with that, is hard, but i have .but, then now what you expect , me walking out there ,exchanging pleasantaries with him. For u , i will , but justify atleast to me who are we ?

In the tag of friends 2 individuals silently romancing with eachothers wounds, surrendering to eachother in denial of daylight . tell me why do we passify eachother with racing heart till we feel our viscous warmth. Why i think of you everytime i get close to my wife and why the fact that we have life thats partitioned amidst profession , family, personal and then u and me is accepted but difficult to face.

So now u Label it....il then do the needful"

She...

“u an me , its raw , purulent ,toxic . but i believe this us , is what keeps me n u going thru all our other roles. For me , its a pious sin . and so do what is required , amputation here,sir ,is not an option “
