Chapter 56 - New Trouble (1/2)

Some times you need to show your priority to your loved ones. They may know it, they may feel the sincerity but deep down inside their heart, they would feel empty. The emptiness is caused by the loneliness. They will feel that you have forgotten about them. They will feel that they no longer matter to you.

This is the basic human nature. We grow up like this. We always want to make sure that our values are still intact with them. We want them to care about us. We get upset when they start to show ignorance. The longer we stay separated, the chances of us getting depressed only rises more.

Last night when I heard Stella's voice, she sounded bit dull rather than her usual self. I knew something was off. Without any delay I called John and told him to arrange my flight ticket. He was really angry when he heard it but I told him that it was important. Yes, I was supposed to return after one day but I am coming back home today, one day earlier. I want to give her this surprise.

I came back home around 4.00 P.M and that was one hour before Stella will return from her office. Lucy was there to attend me. I told her to prepare Stella's favourite dishes. Now all that left is, for me to wait for her.

As the door bell rang, I went to door to open it. When I opened the door Stella looked at me with surprise and glee. Her eyes were gleaming brightly. She stretched out her slender arms and warped them around me tightly.

” Theo!” Her voice was filled with so much joy when she shouted out my name. She was like the kid who just received some candy from his parents. Her enjoyment has no limits. Her grip was tighter and warmer.

” Surprise.” We we still hugging each other. That was probably the longest hug we ever had.

” I missed you.” Her voice choked as if she was holding back her tears. I guess she is overwhelmed by my actions. I'm glad that I decided to come back home leaving my work. Seriously in this life, nothing should be more important than your relationship with your loved ones.

We should make them our first priority. We should show the love as long we will be staying together. Because no one know when they will die so, it's better to keep on showing your love to them.

” Yeah me too. That's why I came back home.” I chuckle softly, holding her in my arms. ” Let's go inside. I told Lucy to make the dinner.”

We ate our dinner together, laughing and chatting. It was a nice day for us. Stella got compliments from her co-workers for her good work in the previous project. That was also the one, where I had helped her a little. I'm not trying to take credits for her hard work but I'm glad that my advice helped her. That was enough for me.

” By the way, you were coming back tomorrow so, why did you return today? Won't it effect on your work?”

” I missed you so I came back. And next time I'm taking you with me. That's final.”

” Okay.”

We went to my room and had a moment of intimacy. Our bodies were connected once again. Although the time was still running. It was 1 am in the night. We were so busy with talking that we had not looked at the time.

” You sounded kinda upset when I talked to you last night. Is everything all right?”

” Yeah. It's just I was getting bored, working and staying here alone.” Her reply was like a whisper. She kind of wanted to avoid that topic. I knew it was not the truth. What really happened with Ray on that day? I need to ask Neil tomorrow.

When my eyes open Stella had already left from my room. I went to the bathroom to freshen up. Wearing my clothes, I called in Neil's phone.

” Hello, Neil.”

” Hey bro. Why call so early in the morning?” His voice came little sleepy, probably he just woke up now.
