77 We still prefer Frosting right? (1/2)
In an attempt to change the topic Ren cleared her throat and asked, ”Okay! Okay! Let's talk about the New Bride. How is it going between you guys?” Ria was caught off guardher smile froze all of a sudden. But she suddenly gave a faint smile and looked at her plate. And then she mumbled, ”Good”.
Others would have thought she was being shy but her friends knew her better. Besides, whenever they talked about Ren, she would be a non stop chatterbox saying A to Z about him. All the three shared a look, Melody said squinting, ”Don't tell me you guys are fighting again!”
Ria raised her head slowly and shrugged. Ashlee supported her chin with her left hand and asked with a lazy expression, ”Seriously? After all this time?” Ria kept quiet without saying anything. Ren looked at her and said, ”Guys, chill.... let's hear what happened first”.
All the three looked at her, she didn't say anything for a while. Then her low voice was heard, ”I don't know...., he avoided me all of a sudden. The next day I avoided him and then Mom fainted, so I stayed with her all night. When my mother-in-law asked why I came late during breakfast I said I was in the hospital.
He asked me again in our room and I repeated the same answer but he expected something else from me. He didn't trust me. What can I do? He just treats me according to his mood swings, who does he think I am? I have no idea!” Even though she avoided some details, a tear drop slided from her right eye.
Ren let out a big sigh and said, ”Look at me baby doll, you both always run in a circle ending up at the starting point. Atleast one of you has to give the other, the necessary space and time to adjust. Instead you guys are behaving like kindergarden kids, using Tit for Tat ploy.
Will it be okay for you, if your wife doesn't return home the entire night and just announce the reason in front of everyone during breakfast?” Ria shook her head guilty at Ren. She continued, ”See? You know it yourself. Your husband is someone from the world of extremes and remember that you were the one who told us about it...”
Ria nodded in response. The other two shook their heads with a faint smile as they listened to Ren's lecture for Ria. The lecture went on for another half an hour as they all munched on the food. The cloud formed on Ria's mind cleared slowly as she heard Ren's lecture.
Ren said lastly, ”Atleast for the sake of your kids you guys have to get along with each other”. Ria immediately shook her head and spoke after a long time, ”No! He have to love me and live with me because he loves me. Not because I'm the mother of his kids!”
Ren smiled and said, ”Well, If you are clear about it; we are good, Ria”. Ria nodded again.

Ria's phone rang, it was Peggy. She informed that the clothes have arrived and the photo shoot has been delayed for an hour. After lunch everyone went for shopping to a nearby shopping mall. ”What do you guys want? I will pay for today”, Ria said as they walked in.
