As he started to take leave, he asked, “By the way, Manu, what are Kavita’s favorite kind of flowers?”
I knew that she liked flowers, but the audacity of him to use me to find out what my wife liked so that he could seduce her! In my mind, my mouth was wide open in happy disbelief. But I scoffed. “That’s very honorable of you Amir,” I said, trying not to sound sarcastic while saving face and giving him a way out of his quandary. I will see you tomorrow, when I move back in with you. ‘I see?’” he barked back. She’s moving back in with you, but not until tomorrow. If Kavita had wanted to leave me, he’d be okay doing it. But it was clear now from Kavita’s own words that she intended to keep me out of my own home so that she could have privacy with her lover.
