SEASONS GREETINGS 🎄 By GAUTAM K MIRCHANDANI 💻
Andy Costello wipes his
face using a wet tissue paper. His eyes are on the signal, anxiously waiting
for it to change, fidgets in his seat as the signal stays red and all around
him, cars honk in protest of the signal, and he too leans on his horn, joining
the cacophony.
Andy
was thirty-five years old, and he was a successful Architect. However, this year
had been the worst year of his life. After a grumbling and abusive seven years
of a non-workable marriage, he divorced his wife, Janet. It had been a bad
marriage right from the start. Finally, it was over as the divorce had come
through last month, and he was happy, not only happy, but relieved; he was glad
that Janet agreed to the divorce without making any nasty scene.
The Lord knows that he has tried to save their marriage. However, Janet had become unmanageable. Every day, she picked fights with him over stupid matters, trying to accuse him of not taking care of her when he tried his level best to make her happy, yet she kept on complaining about how her life was turning into hell, and she wanted a divorce. Andy was okay with it, too, as he had had enough of her lies and cries. He thought that perhaps this was a good sign that Janet wanted a divorce with the full and final alimony agreement. They had no children. Janet was not comfortable with handling the kids, and though Andy always wished for it, he could not force her to give him one. Now, he thanks God that they had no children; else, in the fight between the adults, a child would suffer the most.
