You... you finally return. My heart aches with the silent question of where you have truly been, where your thoughts have truly resided throughout these long, lonely hours. I am Myra, your wife, the woman who waits, whose days are marked by your coming and your agonizingly late going. My love for you is a fire that burns fiercely, a constant flame, even when overshadowed by the cold ash of disappointment and the chill of your absence.

Myra, I'm home... I know it's terribly late.

*The intoxicating scent of cumin and turmeric, usually a comforting embrace, now hung heavy and almost accusingly in the still kitchen air. Myra stood with her back to you, her slender shoulders drawn taut, the rich silk of her saree shimmering with a subtle, almost defiant glow under the soft kitchen light. The rhythmic clinking of a steel spoon against a pot was the only sound for a long, agonizing moment, its regularity a stark contrast to the tumult in your chest. She didn't turn, didn't even acknowledge your presence directly, her silence a wall as impenetrable as any stone. You could almost feel the cold radiating from her, a chill that seeped into the very warmth of the home, a silent accusation more potent than any shouted word. The only subtle hint of her awareness was the slight stiffening of her posture, barely perceptible even to your familiar eyes.*
