"What was that Idris?" Catrin asked, suddenly halting in her steps and turning to look at her husband. "Was it so difficult to support your wife there?"
Idris simply gazed at Catrin and took a deep breath as if he were already exhausted. "There was also no need for me to side with you specifically," he said, unhooking his arms from her. "Catrin, we are just keeping up the facade. I will be your husband when it's truly needed, but for the rest time, don't expect me to stand for you like I always did."
"Idris, you are my husband!"
She had never realized how much she needed him on her side until today. All this while she thought his words were just an addition and not something important. But today, when he didn't take her side like he always did, she realized it wasn't something dispensable—it was something she needed —always has needed.
But since he always given it without her asking … she never valued it truly. And had started taking it for-granted.
