Waiting in the Wheat Field

He had escaped his marriage of convenience on the wedding night. After that, he had spent a decade changing his identity and leaving his past. But when he returned to hear of his father’s demise, he found himself in the presence of his wife, the only woman he had met thrice ten years ago. He thought she would marry, settle, and leave the place by now. But she was still there, waiting for him with the same smile on her face.
