Fate

10 - One marriage trial

Hope you're enjoying the story. Here comes another trilling chapter.

Daniel's POV
"What the hell are you doing here?"I asked Damilola.
"Is there anything bad in coming to my husband's room?"She replied me then added, "you know, I'm really tired and I don't have any strength to argue about anything with you, I just brought your dinner up for you because I know you'll be really tired so you can eat here, and don't think you can do what you did this morning and get away with it".
"Good night"She said then left the room.

I stood at a spot listening to all what she said. Wait; was she threatening me or what?; What guts she has.
I looked over to the dinner she brought; I had already had dinner and even if I hadn't, I wasn't going to eat something she prepared or probably bought. And what she said were just mere threats, nothing more.
I was so tired that I didn't have any strength to think about anything she said or whatever she wanted to do; that's her problem.

Damilola's POV
Daniel really dared me; I didn't blame him anyways but as I said he wasn't going to get away with it. I didn't even bother prepare breakfast for him at all. I didn't even greet him or talk to him till he left for work.
His no care attitude was going to change whether he liked it or not.

For the next two days, things remained the same but after then something changed.

I woke up on Friday morning; quite very early and I don't know why. I had my bath, got dressed and went downstairs to prepare breakfast for myself alone.

Some minutes later, I began to eat. While eating, Daniel came downstairs already for work; he came towards me and then said,"Good morning".
"Morning"I answered him politely without looking at him.
"How was your night?"He asked; wait when did he start caring about me?.
"Good"I replied him and then got surprised by the next thing he said,
"I just want to say I'm sorry for the way I behaved towards you, it wasn't appropriate and I totally understand why you're doing everything so I'm sorry".

Daniel is apologizing?; That's nice.

I turned to face him; stared at him for some seconds then replied;
"Okay, no problem".
"Thanks, take care........ and I'll be home for dinner"Daniel said before he left.

He's gonna be home for dinner?; I was completely dumbfounded. Why the sudden change of heart?. It wasn't like I didn't want that but it's strange.
************************************

Daniel said he was going to be home for dinner so I had to prepare something. I had called Dara to help me out because I knew I couldn't cook that well.
I was learning though but not that good.
Dara had arrived; though she was teasing me about the whole Daniel and cooking thing. She was a savior though.

I waited for Daniel; I had a kind of feeling that maybe he wanted to try something stupid and if he actually did that he was going to regret it for the rest of his life.

Daniel's POV
I got home right on time for dinner. I don't know what got changed in me towards Damilola. I felt like I was doing something wrong to her and needed to make amends though it was Kola that talked to me about everything.

As soon as I got inside, Damilola and I greeted each other like always. I went upstairs to freshen up and got down some minutes later.
Damilola had served the dinner; I sat down to eat. She had this kind of look in her face about me.
It was quite strange though the way I changed towards her.

The table was quiet; no one said anything but then....
"How was your day?"I asked breaking the silence.

"Good and you?"

"It was good"

"Okay"

"I hope you're not still angry at me"

"No I'm not"

"Okay, I want to talk to you after dinner"

"Sure"Damilola answered.

The rest of the dinner was quiet. After dinner, I went upstairs while Damilola cleared the table.
I received a call while waiting for Damilola; it was from Beatrice.
What now?; Not right now.
"Hey baby, how are you doing?"She said.
"Good, and you?"
"Good of course, men I really miss you, here is just so boring without you"
"Mmmm, can I call you back later?"I asked.
"You don't want to talk to me, fine"She answered angrily.
"It's not like that, I'll call you back I promise"I replied before she cut the call.

"You can come in"I said to Damilola who knocked on my room door. She entered inside and then sat at the edge of my bed.
I moved closer to her; sitting by her side just few centimeters away.
"Okay"I muttered aloud.

"I don't know where to start"I said.

"Begin anyway you like"She replied.

"Once more I just want to say I'm sorry, and I get that you're trying your best to give our marriage a chance, and I gave you a hard time in doing that, we did this because of our parents but we can't just live like this isn't real, you're my wife and I'm your husband, nothing could change that"

"I think I should do the same by giving this marriage a chance, we could start from being friends getting to know each other first, you're okay with that?"I said.

"Okay, I'm good with that, I believe things could actually work out so no problem"Damilola answered me calmly.

"Fine, I guess we're friends now, I shouldn't keep you up for long, my friend's well being is very important to me"I replied her then she chuckled softly and then said,
"Okay, Good night then, Sweet dreams"; She said as she stood up before she left the room.
Thank Goodness this went well. What a good start. Let's wait and see.
