You Are Still My Wife!

Idri could not say anything after what he heard from Dori. Did he get involved with Frieze just to forget Dori? He was confused and lost. He did not protest further. They both had lunch in silence. While he was about to leave, Dori stood up and took a picture with him. He did not like it but it was too late. The picture was already taken suddenly before even he could react. He did not pay much heed and greeted her bye to leave. Dori sat there for a while and he saw the man leaving the restaurant. He was smiling to herself. She quickly opened her social media account and uploaded her picture with Idri as a status with the caption “A lunch date with my ex-boyfriend.” She even sent a friend request to Frieze while she blocked Idri who could not check her status. Frieze received a notification on her phone of a friend request with someone named Dori Creg. She immediately recognized her face in the display picture and accepted her friend request without much thoughts. As she glanced through her profile, the first status she saw on her wall was a picture of her with Idri. She checked the date and time and it was just five minutes ago. Frieze felt strange but she could recognize the shirt that Idri wore. It was the same blue striped shirt that Frieze took out of the cupboard for him to wear today morning. She felt upset that she was not informed that he planned for lunch with her meanwhile he never asked her for lunch while she used to work in office. She would be having lunch with her colleagues unlike in B city where Idri used to always ask her for lunch during office hours whenever he was in town. Her heart was heavy and she was completely clueless at the moment. She was wondering if she was a rebound for him but at the same time, she knew he loved her a lot. It could not be a mistake. They are best friends and they were always open about their feelings.

Just to lift up her mood, she called Idri.

“Hey boy, where are you?” Frieze was happy hearing his voice.

“Hey my woman, I am in office. Just finished lunch.” Idri spoke.

“That is good. What did you have in the canteen today?” Frieze was quick to ask him.

“Nothing much, just a burger. I had a meeting and so, I could not eat much though. Simon is also busy today with some of his projects.”

She started thinking if he always lied to her but dated her behind the back? She loved her always and since, she was gone, she wondered if she was just being used as a mental support until Dori came back to him. She cancelled all her meetings for the day as her mood was completely off. All sorts of negative thoughts surrounded her. She was hurt but little did Idri knew that
