Chapter 126: 126
I slowly walked toward my room. Actually it was not the room i ’ m used to stay with him but the room i was assigned at first. Yeah, I have entered the room. My anger kept on building inside my head. I’m driving myself mad.
All this time I was thinking he may have been stuck in some work but now when I came I found him having fun in the living room. Wow, I can’t believe it. It is really making me believe as if i ’m acting all stupid when it is not at all like that but who cares? He does? I don’t think so.
"Eli, can you bring me a glass of water?" i told her and thud on bed as she went to get water for me but after a while i heard the door knocking sound.
I got up from bed and went to unlock it, finding James holding the glass of water.
"Here, I bought water", he said, but my expression did not change.
I took the glass of water and made it slip through my hand falling on the floor breaking into pieces and falling here and there. Some even pierce my feet but none of them hit him nor hurt him as he was wearing shoes while I was on my bare feet.
"Eli, can you bring me a glass of water?" I said , looking at her again.
"Ok", she said and left in a hurry.
I tried to enter my room while wherever I was placing my feet I could see my blood stamp on the floor.
"Chloe, you are bleeding", he was saying in a straight face.
I turned, " Am i? Thanks for letting me know."
"Why are you doing this?" he asked.
"Why don’t you ask yourself Mr. Perfect?" As I said, my tears were about to come out of my eyes. Now I realize how Ayla must have felt when she didn’t get to be with Aaron when she needed to. But I didn’t know he purposely didn’t come. So arrogant. I can’t believe it.
"Here Miss, I have brought water for you", she said and handed me the water.
I gulped it at once. I was so thirsty. My throat was becoming so dry thinking about all the stuff. It is suffocating as well but that is what I can manage on my own.
"Thank you Eli. or i would have died or thirst", i smiled awkwardly.
"Let me bandage your feet", she said.
"No it is ok i can do it on my own", i said and locked the door again.
As I went inside I tried to search for the fast aid box. I don’t know where i kept it because i haven’t been here for months maybe. I only sometimes enter this room when I want to be alone with my serious working projects and this hasn’t happened for months now.
My blood kept on coming out of my feet giving me pain. I don’t know just how deep the glass pierced inside my feet but this is so painful making me cry like a child.
After a long search I found the box. I sat in my bed while putting my right leg on my left leg and slowly tried to pull out the glass pieces. It hurts. I yelped but I finally did it but the blood came out even more.
I instantly put on the antiseptic medicine and wrapped the bandage properly with cotton. It was intact but the blood still was coming out a bit.
"Chloe, open the door. I want to see the wound", I heard his voice but I ignored.
"Chloe, open the door i will just break the door", he threatened me but still i ignored but again i started hearing noises making me open the door for him.
"Were you going to break the door?" I asked.
"Yeah I was", he said.
"Ok do it." i left the room and walked toward Mr. King’s room.
"Where are you going?" he asked.
"Where do I wish?" I said.
I somehow entered Mr. King’s study which was beside his room and he was there writing something on his note.
"Chloe?"
"Yes", I sat in front of him.
"Chloe", James too came following after me but stopped.
"James you too?" he said.
"What is going on?" he asked.
"I’m not sure but I think I’m in need of another room for myself", i said.
"Another room? Don’t you have a spare room already?" he answered.
"But your son is about to break the room so I’m in need of another room. I don’t want to be in control of anyone. I want my privacy. Can you grant me?" I said.
He massaged his face.
"I have no idea what you are trying to say but yeah i can give you the room beside mine", he said.
"But isn’t it-
James tried to say.
"Yeah it is the room of Aaron’s mother. So what? It is empty." he said but i still don’t want to take the place which is precious to him but i did.
"James you stay here", He said while i escaped from the place and locked myself inside the room so that i can be alone.
I don’t know how long it has been since I was alone like this from the moment I returned but I felt good. I didn’t think about anything which will bring me bad thinking or bad memories just like last night but i talked to my baby who kicked me for the first time. Yeah I’m too on my verge of giving birth but he hasn’t kicked or moved until now.
My tears started coming out of my eyes.
"Well done"
"Well done Rion", yeah i named him Rion.
I don’t know why but yeah i liked this name a lot.
I finally snapped out my thoughts and looked at the wall clock. It was already eight thirty. I actually haven’t done my breakfast or lunch but still I feel neither hungry nor feel weak until I got up from bed and my stomach started growling.
"So is this why I didn’t feel anything?" I said while laughing.
I haven’t used my energy at all.
I unlocked my room door and walked toward the living room. It was already so silent as if all ate and left to their own rooms while I was only left here. But I’m so hungry. What should I do?
I let out my phone and dialed the number of Ayla.
It rang for a long time but at last someone received it.
"Ayla?" I said.
"Sorry it is me Aaron", he sounded nervous.
"Where is she?" I asked.
"She is sleeping with both kids so i received it", i can hear his never ending smile.
"So what can I help you with?" he said in a teased tone.
"Ha ha nothing. I wanted to try a new recipe so I called her to tell me", I said while scratching my head.
"Who did you even think of asking? She dont cook." he said.
"Like never?"
"Yeah never. She doesn’t know how to cook", both of us laugh out loud.
Gosh if I laugh like this I ’m sure my stomach will start to hurt but till now i didn’t realize she doesn’t cook but I always talk about how well I cook.
"So should I guide you, Miss Chloe?" he said.
"Sure Brother in law", we both laughed again.
I know it has been so long since I have been calling him this way as I think Ayla is my sister. But this bond is something I could die for. We really are like real siblings. We are like something we could beat each other when the time comes and we will end up beating others when the time comes as well.
"So first ...r", he guided me but i forgot to put on the gas.
I chuckled and then placed a pan in the gas.
He kept on guide me while I grilled chicken with spicy strawberry bbq sauce which I ended up loving. I don’t have any idea how much but yeah i almost fell in love.
"So you can do it alone right?" he asked for the next time.
"Of course but even if I forget just message me the recipe", as I said he laughed again.
I was laughing so hard when I saw James standing in front of me on the other side of the kitchen component.
I ignored.
"Chloe"
"Why are you doing this to me?" He acted all pitiful.
"Ok Aaron i will call you some other time. Tell Ayla I called but she ditched me", I said and hung up.
"What am I doing to you?"
"Did I say anything?"
"Did I slap you?"
"Did I beat you?"
"I did nothing right? Then what are you blaming me for?" I said.
"Your behavior....
"Your behavior is hurting me so much that I’m in so much pain", he said grabbing his chest.
"Then what about me? My feelings doesnt matter?"
"Oh right, I never had anything to say. How could I even forget?"
