She was simple, yet, he couldn't figure her out.

It has been almost a month now. 

They have been married for almost a month, but he couldn't help but feel like it has been only a day.

As a soon to be retired army officer, he had some wrap up work for a few months to do before joining the police force. He was busy, yes, but so was she. They almost never saw each other. 

She was at the clinic the whole day, coming home late, and waking up earlier than him. Which was almost ridiculous considering that he wakes up at 5am.

Sighing deeply, he remembered the day he had met her for the first time.

Her dad was a well-known former army officer. He now retired after some health problems. He was an admirable man, who served the country for many years. He was very good in what he was doing, and he was an inspiration for lots of young men who joined the force. 

When her dad asked his dad if his son was ready to get married, there was no good reason to decline, so, the families arranged an official meeting.

At the meeting itself, he could remember only a few things. 

The Lehenga she was wearing was so simple, dark blue and nothing was too overboard. And what intrigued him the most was her expressionless face. He was not able to read her at all. He was an army officer, he was trained to read one's faces after all, yet, he was unable to read anything.

She smiled politely, answered all the questions my parents had calmly and with ease. 

This girl was so smart. 

Nonetheless, he was having a really hard time getting her to look him in the eyes. 

He was searching for them, but she was focused on his parents or looked blankly at a spot in front of her when she was not speaking.

And then it was time for them to talk in private. 

He was not prepared for her to not break the eye-contact for those 10 minutes they talked. 

Her attention was fully directed towards him and he couldn't even remember what they were talking about, too preoccupied by the fact that she was paying full attention to him. All he knew was that he was captivated by her eyes. 

He was trying to figure out what her deal was, but he couldn't find anything. But the longer he looked into her eyes, the more he wanted to get to know her.

Afterwards, a few weeks later, with their agreement, the wedding was planned and conducted as per their parents wish. 

And now, almost another a month later, he was sitting here on the bed, her side felt cold and empty, the sheets however neatly folded.

Again, sighing deeply he ran his hand through his hair. He then also saw that everything was prepared for his day as well...

Precap:

"Stop!", he called out or rather almost shouted, louder than he himself anticipated and scolded himself for it mentally. She stopped in her track and turned around.

"Why do you do all this?", he asked as he didn't get any kind of further reaction from her.

She was just blankly staring at him. She was not even frowning.

"Do what?", she then asked, tilting her head to a side.
