### **Chapter 1: The Unspoken Distance**
The bustling streets of Kolkata mirrored the chaos in Bhabotosh Chakraborty's mind. His marriage with Sharmistha was falling apart, and he couldn't quite understand why. Sharmistha had started keeping to herself, creating an invisible wall between them. Every night felt colder, and her silence pierced deeper than any words.

Sharmistha, meanwhile, was suffocating. The more she tried to love her husband, the more she felt Glish's shadow hanging over them. Bhabotosh had told her about Glish when they first got married, assuring her that their relationship was long over. But over the years, Glish's name kept creeping into their lives, in stories, in memories, and sometimes, in phone calls.

She couldn't stand it anymore. The feeling of being second best had eroded her self-worth. She would see the way Bhabotosh would light up whenever he spoke of London or heard from Glish. How could she compete with someone who had his heart first?

Bhabotosh, unaware of the storm brewing inside Sharmistha, tried his best to maintain normalcy. He loved her dearly, but he couldn't deny that Glish still had a place in his thoughts. Every decision he made seemed to be tainted by memories of his past, and Sharmistha's distance left him confused.

As the days grew longer and colder, Sharmistha reached a breaking point. The love she had for her husband had been eclipsed by a bitterness she couldn't shake off. She had to confront him, and soon.
