Infidelity

What was that again ?
What went wrong ?
What did you say ? The concert stands cancelled ?
What could have possibly happened ?
What , what , what ?
Whats flew around like buzzing bees , the air was thick with them . It was then that she noticed what was bothering him . Not that the concert was cancelled , but that he wont see her again .
It made a knot appear in her intestines . A gut wrenching pain that spread to her heart , her limbs. It was a mighty shock . She felt numb and faint . As if a truck her run over her . How naive she had been !
All those moments of suspicion coming true! Of feigned illnesses and business trips , of exchanged glances at gatherings , all of which her heart kept sweeping under the carpet , shutting her eye to. Refusing to believe what her eye saw , what her inner voice kept tugging her sleeve about.

It was all about  the girl , never about her . She saw it now , through clear , unclouded eyes . She went to the balcony , and took huge gulps of air to keep herself from erupting into a scream . She was choking , drowning . 

This was not what she had bargained for . How could he ?How had she been deceived ? How could she have been so dense? How could she not see? Oh , Oh!! 

All the whats had now metamorphosed into hows , now that she knew the truth .
