Chapter 9 - New life

I and Sol were finally married, I still didn't believe that I was married to a man whom I hated the most in my life.

I was now in Sol's house.

Sol's parents receive me very warmly.

Sol's grandmother welcomed me with so much love and care.

There were a lot of girls there at that time, they took me to a huge room

It was a huge room, with a white colored bed and a light gray colored sofa set with white cushions on it.

The cream-colored carpet was looking magnificent.

Gray-colored curtains were tucked and windows were closed.

The side table has beautiful lamps and on the right side table, there were Sol's accessories.

There was a huge portrait of Sol.

But there was one thing that turned me off,

The room and house were beautiful, but it was not giving any vibes of a wedding house.

There was not a single flower or decoration that implies it was a wedding house,

On the contrary, my house was very well decorated with lights and flowers.

I changed my dress and lay on the bed.

Suddenly the door opened and Sol went inside the room.

He stood near me for a while but, I closed my eyes and showed that I was asleep.

After a few moments, he took a pillow and lay on the couch Infront of the bed.

I was asleep after a few moments.

Next morning,

There was a knock on the door, I got up and saw that Sol was not in the room.

Again, there was a knock on the white-colored wooden door,

I said "come in please"

It was their maid, she said

'' Ma'am, Mrs. Wicket is calling you; Breakfast will be served in 30".

I replied "okay I'll come"

After half an hour, I dressed up and went downstairs.

Everyone was sitting at the dining table;

The dining table was a huge wooden antique piece with big chairs,

I thought it was like from the Victorian era, but it was very well preserved and looked astounded.

I went and sit but Sol was not there.

There were so many items on the dining table,

Different juices, fruits, cereals, and toasts with scrambled eggs.

Grandma said "Look Hon it is now your house, don't be shy in anything and start eating breakfast"

I started eating with toast and scrambled eggs along with pineapple juice.

After eating, Grandma asked me to go and rest for a while in my room.

I cleaned my lips with a napkin and got up.

I then went into my room and sat on the bed.

After a few moments suddenly there was a knock on my door.

I was laying in bed.

I got up and sit straight on the bed.

Sol entered the room and sat Infront of me.

He said "I am sorry for my behavior,

I shouldn't do that to you, it's your house too now.

Only I and my grandma lived here,

you wouldn't face any difficulty here"

After that, he said "Be ready tonight, I will take you to your parents' house"

We went to my house and my parents were so happy when they saw me.

They were thinking that I am so happy with my marriage to Sol,

On the contrary, I didn't even sleep with him.

But I was so happy to see all of them happy.

My mom asked me if I am happy with Sol.

I replied with a pause

Yes! Yes... I mean, of course, I am a happy mom.

She kissed my forehead and said "I have baked a cake for you"

We all ate dinner together.

My brothers and Sol were happily talking with each other.

I also remained silent about my hate for Sol.

I and Sol went back home very late.

Sol and I changed our clothes, Sol said: "I have to go early tomorrow to the hospital."

We both slept by turning our backs on each other.

Tomorrow morning when I got up, he was not in the room.

I went downstairs, Grandma was waiting for me,

She said "O my princess! Let's have breakfast together"

We were at the dining table eating our breakfast,

After eating we sat in the garden,

It was beautiful weather, birds were chirping, and The Sky was blue.

Grandma said "From the time you are here, I think happiness has again made its way to my house"

"Again? I replied.

She said "Sol had a sister; she was the life of our house and most loved by us"

"What? But Sol said that he was the only child of his parents," I asked.

Grandma said:

"Hon, Sol has one sister named Zoii and one brother named Zayd, both of them loved him so much, he was the youngest among them"

"Where are they?" I asked

She replied, "Sol's sister died and his brother is in jail".

"Sol was shattered after this incident, He forgot how to live even though he didn't use to smile, but I am very sure you are now in his life, he would be happy once again," she said.

It's been 3 months since I married Sol,

But we were not intimate with each other.

Sol used to go early to the hospital,

He came very late at night,

We didn't have any time to even talk to each other

One day, I went to grandma and asked

"How Zoii was dead? And How Zayd went to jail?"

Grandma used to change the topic,

This happens often, she never told me exactly what happened.

If I insist on her, she used to start crying.

Our marriage was 6-month-old,

I was so bored and fed up with staying at home all day,

I was wasting my medical degree,

I want to serve people,

I decided to talk to Sol about my Job

When Sol arrived late at night, he was surprised by seeing me.

He said "You are still up? Are you all okay?"

I said that I am bored with staying at home all day, and I wanted to work and utilize my degree

He replied "Umm you don't need to work but if it's your wish I am no one to restrict you,

It's your life and you can do whatever you want to do."

I joined Sol's hospital and started working as a medical officer.

I was in the Cardiology ward.

There was only one single hospital in the town,

This hospital was established by Sol himself, he worked day and night in making this hospital a very well-reputed hospital in the city.

There was very advanced machinery in the hospital,

Various experienced doctors often visited the hospital.

The hospital was not expensive at all.

Most of the patients that were admitted to the hospital belonged to a very lower class of society,

In other words, mostly poor people were there because it was very economical and people-friendly.

After working in this hospital, I came to know that Sol was not that bad.

He was a very kind-hearted person, He remained very calm with the patients.

He used to take care of them. He often took no fee from the poor people.

He had many other doctor friends. They also visited the hospital and attended to the patients.
