Chapter 89 - Greatest Achievement (2/2)
” That's harsh! How can you reject your husband like that?” My last chance was to whɨnė like a kid. If that fails, I'll end up getting smacked right to my Greek-god like face. It will leave hand prints or bruise to my soft apple like cheeks, which I most certainly don't want.
” I can. Because I'm his wife. Now get up from my tummy. Let me eat in peace.” A very aggravated and annoyed Stella replied. This is where I step back. Tch! I failed my mission but that's not the end. Because I have obtained my other motive proficiently.
” Fine.” I hope it helped her to lighten up her mood. My intention was not to make her mad but to lighten her stress. Yes, I wanted her to forget all the bad things that happened to her. Seeing her smile makes me take a sigh of relief.
Lucy placed the foods on the table. I have told her to cook the favourite items of Stella. No wonder she was being extra hungry today. The smell of foods have reached her nose. We began to dig into our breakfast with a positive vibe and it's all thanks to me of course.
” You did it on purpose right?” Her question came like a cold wind in a rainy night. Not what you expect or want at that time.
” I guess so.” There's no need to lie. The answer was obvious as she found it out before I revealed it. The positivity I created with my stupid words, is starting to fade away into the darkness of her sorrow. Her heart was an abyss of pain.
” Don't be sad. I know you want me to forget everything and move on. Trust me, I'm trying my best.”
” Of course I trust you. I just wanna help you in this crisis.”
” You're doing your best which I'm grateful for. I know I need to be strong, I need to stand on my feet and overcome the situation. Sadly it's not that easy as I imagined.”
” Take your time. No need for rush. You know I'm always by your side. Even if you don't give me your ŀȧp to lay down my head, I'll always lend my shoulder and my body whenever you need it.” Yes. It made her laugh. She can't hide it or deny my charms. Baby show me that bright smile of yours that can make the sun jealous. I want my jolly girl back.
” Theo” she couldn't finish off her sentence as her laughter was hard to hold. ” ..... God! You're crazy!”
” Crazy for you.”
” All of these won't change the current situation.”
” But it made you laugh. It made you happy.” No words to say for her, after I made that melty cheesy statement. Cherish the moment when you have it. Soon it will be gone.
Recreating a hearty moment is hard like fixing a broken mirror. Because the time and the person, both will be changed.
” I love you honey. I can't see you in pain anymore.” That's how I broke the silence between us. She was speechless and overwhelmed.
” Theo, having you beside me, is the greatest achievement of my life. You are my strength. You're like the sun who gives me the light and shows me the way.” Funny. I think the same about her. Our hearts are connected and so is our minds. We are two different person yet one soul, bound by love.
Isn't that beautiful?
