You Are Still My Wife! novel Chapter 27

Simon left right after dinner. Rose and David were sitting in the balcony of their room having hot ginger water. Frieze was lying down in her bed in the guest room reading her favorite novel “You Are Still My Wife.” She was sleepy after traveling but she was so addicted to reading the book that she was planning to at least read a few more chapters. Idri came home just to find Julie in the hall. She greeted him but he did not respond. He walked up to his room just to find it empty. He saw his night clothes on the bed rest so he knew Frieze was must have arrived as she always had the habit of keeping the clothes ready for him for all the purposes whether it was office, holiday and even clothes for the night. This was her habit and he was habituated to find the clothes right on the bed whenever he entered. He simply picked all his clothes and headed to the bathroom for a shower expecting his wife to be back to the room once done. He took a hot shower and felt relaxed. The sadness that he had in his heart which he does not know why was gone as he realized Frieze was back home. He waked out of the bathroom just to find the room still empty. Frieze was nowhere in the room. He walked to his parents’ room. Finding them in the balcony, he walked up to them asking for her.

“Where is Frieze? Is she home? She is not in the room or hall. I thought I will find her here. She is not here either. Has she gone out somewhere? It is really late.” Idri just spoke without caring about their reaction or hatred towards him.

Rose spoke dominantly, “She has shifted to the guest room. I believe you have looked for her at the wrong places. Congratulations on your divorce.”

Idri looked confused.

David clarified “Frieze has signed the divorce papers which you have signed earlier. Simon brought them today during dinner time. She would not like to be with you in the same room after signing the papers. So, she shifted to the guest room. You will find her. Make sure you don’t disturb her sleep.”
