Ego!

Nevile pressed his lips and gritted his teeth in anger, “Elsa Rosewood get back here right now." Elsa chuckled, “Why will I come back Ex darling? Just because you want me. I am not obeying you anymore, we are divorced now." “ I am giving you another chance! I said congress back or you will regret it. Over everything I want you to change the reason for divorce." Elsa's smile widened, “ Is there something wrong in what I wrote? Ex-Baby? Is been 8 months you have been healed from the coma, but you never touched me or paid any attention to me all this time. So what am I supposed to think about you, silly vegetable. You were in coma for the passed 3 years, I think your manhood is rusted by now, go get yourself checked by a doctor."

Nevil was speechless and he felt as though the nerves on his head were about to burst. This woman is insane! He said angrily. “I'll show you how capable in bed I am one day Elsa Rosewood!” “Sorry ex babe you have lost the chance. You had 8 long months to prove yourself. Now it's over between us. I am no more your wife." “Elsa!” after a couple of beeps the phone was disconnected. Nevil was warm in rage, his face was red and head nerves were bulging out. A couple of beeps sounded and the call was abruptly disconnected. Nevil wanted to erupt over Elsa but her call was busy. “Elsa Rosewood!” he barked and banged his hand on his study table. Elsa had already arrived at get best friend Gale D'Sa's house.

When she hung up, Gale burst into laughter, “That's perfect Elsy,  now he will be probably so disturbed and angry that he will break his fists." Elsa felt thay because she was too humble. All these years she had relentlessly sacrificed herself like a loyal lamb. People should love themselves before loving others. It wasn't easy to prioritize one's happiness. Gale added, “When, Elena found out Mr. Lobo was in coma, she left him right away and ran abroad. But now that he is awake, that slut is back again, and she won that fool too. Better leave a man like that than live with him.” Elsa unwrapped a chocolate and popped it into her mouth. The sweet taste and flavour blended in her mouth. The chocolate seemed to make her forget her sadness. “Gale that's the difference between being loved and unloved." Elsa replied in melancholy. Gale glanced at Elsa who had already eaten a whole big bar of chocolate. “Cheer up, Elsy it's only a difference between perspectives, don't worry if you lose one fish you have more to catch. I'll hire a place in La plaza hotel for us tonight we will have a party there." Elsa laughed pressing her forehead. At that moment, Gale took out Elsa's black framed glasses and threw them into the bin. “My glasses!" - Elsa sent to pick them back. Gale stopped her, “Elsy you are too used of wearing those glasses since a long time. Now or is time to change yourself, make yourself hot, and remarkable. The way Elena is."

Elsa remembered how her mom Anna said that she wasn't peeth enough for a guy like Nevile. It seemed that it wasn't only her parents that thought this way, every man and even Nevile probably looked at her that way. Gale pulled Elsa out of the room, “Come on babe, I am going to make you the star tonight. You will have a makeover, let those ugly hags see how beautiful you are. You will look even better than that model Elena.” As they were leaving Gale asked Elsa about the alimony and  property. But Elsa said that she was leaving it to Mr. Lobo and Elena only. She didn't want a dime. She had her own money. “Where is the card Mr. Lobo gave you?” Nevile had always been generous and handed a platinum plated card to Elsa. But she had never used it. Elsa pulled the card out of her  purse, “Our today's shopping spree sponsor will be Mr. Lobo.” she smirked and said.

Club 007 had been the most elite rich club in Goa. Where the rich people spent their money on drinks and food. That night the Dj kept the music rolling and the crowd, danced widely. On one of luxurious table Nevile sat wearing a black suit. He was the ideal aristocratic figure. A man who every woman wished for. Sitting beside hoon was his good friend Xavier Alfonso. Heir to the Alfonso family. A real business man. Xavier laughed out loudly, “What is this Nevile? I heard that Elsa wants a divorce." The others joined in the laughter too. Everyone mocked him for a long time.

“Who doesn't know how much Mrs. Lobo loves you, Neville? She married you while you were in coma, and she will leave you now? Not happening! I bet you she will be back soon." One of them mocked. “What about making a bet and setting guys, if Elsa can stay without him." Another guy laughed.

Xavier chimed in, “ I m already betting that she won't even last a day without, our Nevile." He laughed. Nevil was quite, with a sten expression. He pulled out his phone and showed them his chats with Elsa. Her last message was from the night before. Elsa had sent him a picture of the browny she had baked. “baby the browny with your favorite flavor is waiting for you on the dinner table, please come home early." As he scrolled up he had daily messages from Elsa to which he had never replied. But tonight, there was nothing from her and his blood was boiling. Just then a notification of a new message signaled Nevil. But before he opened the message, Xavier said in a teasing tone, “See guys Elsa is messaging him." Everyone laughed, the notification kept ringing as several texts came in. “mmm I guess she cannot hold back huh!" Another said teasingly. Xavier urged Nevile to open the texts, immediately. Neville's heart jumped and there were butterflies flying in his stomach, thinking that she had messages him to sought the matters. He thought to himself, that of she wanted to make peace then, why did she even create a scene in the morning?

The moment he opened the messages he froze. Xavier immediately took the phone in his hands and read the message loud, while poor Nevile was still in shock. “Your card ending in 7786 has been charged, 1500 rupees at apsara nails." Everyone went silent staring in confusion. Nevile scrolled up and saw a ton full of messages of Elsa's spendings. There were no messages of asking for reconciliation, instead messages of her spending were rightly visible to all. The group remained dumbstruck and it looked as of Elsa has slapped them across their faces. Male ego was hurt. Nevil's face darkened as he slammed his phone on the table. It wasn't the money that bothered, but Elsa's attitude. The woman he had known for 3 long years, was showing her true colors.

Xavier blurted in anger, “huh! Is that ugly rag planning to become like Elena, the beauty model. I don't think that she will match up to her beauty standards. Coal is coal and a diamond is a diamond. The group continued laughing at Elsa. At the same moment there was an instance where someone who entered the club grabbed everyone's attention. Someone gasped, “guys, look! Diva."
