Smart Man – 51

Kushi, planning for the divorce before she even married Paul,   decided to have him help her become a real estate agent.   Although she already had a job, she could take on more.  She made it seems she wanted to be with him, part of his life, which pleased him.

She planned to take every one of his clients when she left.   It wouldn’t be hard, Paul had nothing resembling a personality, he was cold, suspicious, superior.

She’d be warm,  kind, sweet.

Kushi wanted to stockpile her own money and have a profession when she walked out.  

During the scant free time she had, Kushi often visited the house that was in her’s and Paul’s name.  She made sure that the tenants stayed out of her section.   She collected rent from them, although Paul didn’t know. 

She would also visit her mother’s house, giving her the rent to help her pay off the mortgage that much quicker. She always carried her daughter Priya, to expose her to Hindu life and create close connections.

Paul didn’t like being alone, but was made to  understand how real, close families behave.

The life of Paul and Kushi went on in this fashion.   There was no dissension, no changes, everything seemed to be as it was.
