Chapter 37 - Uncalled Fight (1/2)

My anxiety didn't let me calm down even for a moment. It may seem like a normal issue but I was freaking out like hell. I knew that I should go home and wait for her arrival.

It was around 4.30 pm when I reached home. I stayed there thinking that she will come home soon. Sitting on the couch I kept on tapping my foot vigorously. One minute felt like one hour to me.

Thankfully I heard someone's footsteps approaching me and I got up from my sit with a little faith in my heart. As I looked up to see the person walked at me I ran and warped my arms around her.

” Hey..... what are doing?” Stella asked me with a frown. She was confused with my reaction.

” I was worried about you.” That was all I could say.

” But why? Nothing happened to me.” I let go her from my grip. It was already awkward that I hugged her suddenly. I had no intention of making her feel uncomfortable.

” Well... your phone was switched off so, I thought something might happen to you.” I sounded so childish with my reasoning. Like seriously?! Who would ever do that?

” Actually my phone is having some problems so it turned off when I was talking to you. I would have called you back but I didn't remembered your number.” I kept my head down. It was embarrassing for me to speak with her eye to eye contact. ” Even though I didn't called you back, there was no need for you to worry for me. I was having lunch with Ray.”

As soon I heard that guy's name I was furious. My mood became cranky thinking about Ray since everything turned out like this because of him. I tried to calm my self down and control my temper.

” Why would he have lunch with you? You were supposed to be at the office. How did you guys meet up?” Shit. I screwed up everything. I wanted to be civil and solve the issue quickly but my bitch side popped up at the wrong time.

Great.

” Why are you saying it like that Theo? Ray was around that area when I was about to have lunch with my colleagues. Since he left yesterday without having dinner I decided to take him for lunch. But I don't see any issue with this. Why are you mad at me?” Stella's attitude changed too. She looked angry and irritated with me. The situation is going out of hand.

” I don't care with whom you have lunch with but you should have informed me about it.” I spat out in anger and instantly regretted my action.

” Why do I have to tell you?! Didn't we agreed to stay out of each other's life? Then why are you buŧŧing in my life?”

” Your life? You should be aware that what you do outside with others, it can affect my public image. So, I'm only concerned about that. Make sure you remember it.” I left there and shut my door with a bang.

What have I done? I kept on asking myself. This is the first time I had a fight with Stella. I never thought that I will say those words to her. All because of this Ray. I'm so fuċkɨnġ pissed at myself that I wanna punch myself.

Lamenting on my action will do me no good.

I laid on my bed and stared at the ceiling. Thoughts kept on flashing over my eyes. It seems like I was reviewing my past. The happy moments which I had spent with Stella. Our honeymoon trip which was probably the best trip I ever had. The time we spent together eating breakfast and dinner. I feel a sudden pain spreading inside my heart like a thorn being pierced.
