Was it a DREAM?

It was a windy afternoon that day, she was sitting at the dinner hall with a mug full of coffee, half grabbed with her fingers. She was on an early leave that day, but all alone in the house. No one was there to ooze out her tiredness of two consecutive hard working weeks.
The clock struck three bells and helped her realise that she was too late to have her lunch.... A couple of minutes later, her door bell rang. She got up from the chair, irritated. She went and opened the door....

'Ely, you are home baby!' (a warm hug).
And an immediate strom of happiness, warmth and contentment engrossed her.

It was her love, her only world, her husband, Chris.

'Ya baby.. I took an early leave today. All the follow ups for my clients were done and no new clients today..' said Ely.

'Ah that's great.. but what about your lunch..?' asked Chris

A guilty smile in her face depicting a big no.

'Okay, come on then let's make some noodles together and have it.' - Chris

They went on to the kitchen together, Ely was looking for the ingredients and Chris was on the lead.

(It took about 15mins for the preparation and then they went to the dinning table)

It was the most delicious noodle Ely had since past two weeks. All the tiredness, hunger were just gone within a second.

After a sinful noodle lunch, Ely started feeling sleepy...

'Baby, let's take a nap together, even I am sleepy' said Chris.

'Okay, darling' - Ely.

They went to their beautiful pink walled bedroom (decor was of totally Ely's choice) and jumped over the bed.
It was so peaceful, so serene. It's been a year they got married and they seem to be the happiest couple in the world. Before their marriage, they had been in relationship for about three years and both of them were so much in love with each other. Chris was a most wonderful husband one can ever imagine to have. Ely considered herself to be the luckiest wife....

....

Cuddling together with warm hugs and kisses they went to sleep...

After a while, sounds of giggling and faded sounds of kisses were coming from the way of their dinner hall. It disturbed sleeping Ely, she opened her eyes and was looking for Chris. But he wasn't there on the bed.

The sounds became more prominent to Ely, she got surprised.. Though she continued her search for Chris.. she went to the bathroom to look for him, but he was not there. Nervousness grew out of her.. she started to follow the sound. Gradually she went towards the dinner hall.. and what she saw gave her a panic attack and she fainted.....

....

'Chris.. Chris!! No.. Noo..mm.. you can't do this to me.. you can't ..' (shouting Ely out of her sleep)

Chris got up shocked and grabbed her in his arms and consoled her that he was just there for her like always. Ely opened her eyes trembling. ...

'I saw you... I saw you with another girl.. she was on your top.. riding you.. ( Ely crying heavily)

'Oh.. my baby.. stop crying.. I am all yours.. it was just a bad dream ' consoled Chris.

Hugging tightly and kissing her, made her to calm. Was it a dream or she encountered that scene in real?? Ely was in a real confusion and was very disturbed. But she knew Chris was someone who will never cheat her. He loved her the most...

...... .....

A week later..
Ely came home late about 10pm night. She was totally drenched and was too tired.
Chris took her heart to the bedroom and asked her to change the dress quickly and have the dinner. Chris was a real good cook and had made chicken for the dinner....
But Ely was down, Chris came closer to her. She was shivering out of cold. He grabbed her within his warmth and kissed her forehead to make her feel better. And it always worked. Ely felt better. Then she went on to the bathroom to change...

While she was changing her dress that very similar sounds of giggling of a lady was coming from her bedroom. Her heart started pounding faster. She went out and slammed the door and saw, that lady sitting over her husband and they were getting intimate. It was too much for her, she was overwhelmed with grief and couldn't find a defense to protect herself. She fainted....

.....

After an hour or two... She revived..
'Baby, are you all right now?' - Chris (touching her arms)

'Dont touch me you cheat, you are cheating on me with a girl.. I have seen you having sex with her, with my own eyes.. How could you do this to me?......' (hyper Ely was just not listening to Chris)

'Baby, how could you think I can do this to you? It's all in your mind....' - Chris

'Oh.. yes it's all in my mind.. Do you thing I am high on weed, or I am telling all bluffs to you ' - Ely

'No, no that... It's just your false perception may be ' - Chris

'Fine! I will see to it ' - Ely

She slammed the door and went out at the terrace for some alone time. She was all broken and crying. She couldn't believe that Chris could ever cheat her like this. She was thinking of that dream, and tallying the events with what she saw.
She became more hyper and violent. She was sure that even that day, Chris was having sex with that lady and it was all his plan and excuse that she was dreaming. But she was in a conflict and couldn't believe that her husband who used to love her so much and treated her as his queen, will be cheating her and will hurt her so much.

This thought was taking her breath away.. she was totally broken and was shattered...

The night went off..

Ely fell asleep at the terrace.

Early morning, Chris came over to look after her.. Her face was just like that of a baby. Ely was Chris's sweet little angel, he took her in his arms, inside the bedroom and laid her on the bed. ..

.....

9:00 am clock striking.. Ely woke up and she was running late. She had a very important follow up case of a Bipolar Disorder from sharp 10:00 am. Somehow she got ready and went for the clinic without having breakfast, and without even bidding a bye to her husband.
Ely could not concentrate on her work the whole day. She requested the psychiatrist for an early leave, as she was disturbed....
Ely came home early, to spend some time alone as Chris was in his office at that time..

As soon as she entered, she went to freshen up herself. She was gloomy and had no strength left, mentally. She came out and searched for some fruits to eat. She was hungry. She went to the kitchen to get the knife and took an apple to eat. She sat at the dinning hall and was about to cut the apple....

...........And suddenly she heard that similar giggling of a lady from her bedroom. She was shocked and went hyper and decided to kill that lady, finish it off at once. She took the knife with her and gradually went to her bedroom....

The lady was as usual sitting on the top of her husband and Chris was actually reciprocating the lady with his loves... ....
Ely got shattered and devastated. She was so hurt and so in grief that she couldn't kill that lady.. she couldn't go closer to them to confront.. but the knife was still in her hands...

She took an impulsive decision.. she decided to kill herself, because it was too much for her to tolerate..Chris was the only one for whom she was alive and without him, her life was meaning less..
She placed the knife upon her wrist, crying heavily and feeling numb, seeing the lady sitting on him....

She slitted off her wrist... ( groaning in pain)

The lady sitting on her husband turned back...

......... And Ely's teary and gloomy eyes were thunderstruck...
.........

.........

.........

She was successful..

she killed the lady with whom her husband was cheating on her..

She killed her..

She killed herself..

She killed Ely..

......

.......

..........

She was hallucinating, since the first day...

.....The floor was running on blood.. Ely was crying heavily. The door bell was ringing. It was Chris who came back from the office to make things right for his sweetheart. But Ely was losing her senses..

Bleeding all over, crying and rolling on the floor...a vivid flash of a scene was prominently dominating her mind at that time...

"The very first time when she and her husband got intimate, Ely was sitting on her husband and was giggling with him, and Chris was loving her with all his warmth.."

And darkness....

Ely was no more..

Chris was banging the door, shouting..

....... Ely was hallucinating herself being intimate with her husband.....
