We reached to the pub. Rishabh was already drunk. We intentionally took the corner seat. He ordered two large whiskeys and fries.
"Bro, your wife is riding your driver. It's not making sense." -- Rishabh commented. He further asked - "Who does Rashmi sleep with at night?"
"Adnan" - I responded.
"So, you sleep in the guest room while Rashmi fucks him?" -- He was intrigued.
"Adnan does it in front of me, and then I leave for the guest room." -- I couldn't hide it.
"Holy shit Adi, you could have told me all these" -- Rishabh gulped the entire glass of whiskey.
"Why?" -- I was confused.
"Now you know things, but I don't know if she told you. We have done things." -- Rishabh said with a guilty face.
"What do you mean?"
"I and Rashmi came closer when you went to the UK for a few months. Before your return, we decided to discontinue this relationship."
"Are you for real?" -- I felt betrayed. I remembered when Rashmi told me in Bali that it wasn't her first time; I assumed she was discussing relationships before our marriage.
"I am sorry, Adi, but we couldn't control it. Now even I feel betrayed by that bitch. Fucking a lowly driver." -- Thankfully, Rishabh was drunk. Otherwise, he was smart enough to twist these words to keep himself clean.
I understood he had developed a soft feeling for Rashmi, and seeing her with Adnan made him furious. I realised this was a natural reaction of a man with a promiscuous wife, which I had never shown. Maybe Adnan was right; I was just a eunuch, as he thought most Bengali men were.
I received a WhatsApp message from Adnan containing a picture. When I opened it, it shook my whole body. It was Rashmi in an untidy room wearing a bra and short skirt. It didn't even cover her ass. Adnan and two unknown men were sitting next to her. After 10 mins, he shared a short clip next; it was Rashmi serving food to them, which looked like biryani; Rashmi was topless. Her bra was in the hands of one of those unknown guys.
I called both of them, but neither answered. Adnan loved playing mind games.
"What happened?" -- Rishabh asked.
I showed him the picture Adnan shared. Rishabh couldn't see it properly at first, but later, he snatched my phone and looked at it disgustedly.
"Your wife has turned into a slutty bitch" -- He remarked.
"My wife, did you think about it before fucking my wife, asshole" -- I was furious at him.
"Calm down, Adi. I am sorry, but does it really matter? You are a cuckold anyway." -- He retorted.
I couldn't control myself. I grabbed his collar. "Don't you dare" -- I murmured.
"Don't create a scene here; otherwise, I will scream and tell everyone what your loving wife is doing right now with your driver and his friends", -- Rishabh whispered in my ears.
I left his collar.
"Let's go to your home; anyway, your wife won't return tonight, " Rishabh said.
