His silent wife

Episode 14

Sofia .. I heard Mrs Edina call me excitedly and stood up on her seat and walked to me ,

"You look so Preety , how are you feeling now darling ?"  She asks and pat my red cheeks .

i am alright , I replied softly with a small smile . Oh I am so glad , Come meet your dearest father in law ,

My heart almost stopped when she mentioned that ,I Walked with her and greeted Mr Gerald .

Hello, it's nice to see you , and thank you for coming .

He chuckled in response and pat my head ruffling my hair, " Ah, don't worry child .. you are as important as our own children " After all you are going to become a new member soon, I can't wait .His tone was filled with excitement as he talked .
I was surprised seeing this this side of him ,

i nod my head and i was told to take a seat beside Mrs Edina , I looked around and met my brothers gaze but I lowered my eyes and looked for one face that I wanted to see.

"Yuna ,"

Where the hell is she ? Didn't she come ? i ask myself looking around .

Oh honey you looking for your future husband? Ah that cold son of mine is busy working, You all know how workhalic is he ?

Mrs Edina says taking me by surprise making my face all red and confused  , That goat? Are they talking about the so called Erick ?

pfft , he could die for all I care, i huffed out in my mind .

Oh Edina don't worry, " Your sweet son spent the night here yesterday and I am pretty sure they had already seen each other early in the morning . "

Mom said to her with a flaring smile making every one to look at me , I frowned a little and fidget with my fingers trying to say something but couldn't .

"Really ?" Mrs Edina asks excitedly and with a disbelief clasping her hands like she won a candy.

Stop teasing the little girl you two .Her husband said with a chuckle making every one of them  laugh.

I stayed silent and played with the hem of my dress , " Honey why aren't you saying a thing ?" We are all here because of you,

I didn't  ask for any of this , I internally thought but couldn't dare say a thing .

Or aren't you happy with the arrangement that we made ? Mrs Edina asked ,

i stutter forming words from my mouth which I failed and looked at my mom who had an intense gaze towards me together with dad and replied softly .

" Umm .. it's okay ."

l hold the tears that wanted to fall .

Fantastic !! Then it's all done , we wanted to hear what your opinion is , becuase you are the one who is getting married soon and we want to make sure you are okay amd comfortable with everything.

Her hands were on mine as she looked at me with a warm smile .

I nod my head and looked at mom who smiled at me with a winning gaze ,

And oh I almost forgot, " How are you feeling now darling ?" Mr Gerald ask .

I am alright now , it was just a mere headache that I encountered earlier yesterday .

Hmm, you should drink alot of water and eat as much as you can , You look so slim . it's a good thing that your mom told me earlier that you have an eating disorder so that I can be incharge of your eating habits before the wedding .

Mrs Edina says interrupting her husband ,

Me,? eating disorder? Since when ?  I didn't know about this , I tried looking at  mom who was smiling ear to ear uncomfortably,

We want our bride to look like a full Meal , all gorgeous and beautiful in and out. She stated to me and played with my hair .

Okay .. I replied with a small smile that didn't reach on my cheek ,

it has always been like this , me not having an upper hand on saying what I want , or what I like and being pressured onby every one who is introduced to me .

As every one sat and talked I didn't realise that it was lunch . The maid's came with the food and arranged it on the table properly.

The aroma of the food made my mouth water and all that I could see , smell and hear is food .

" My stomach rumbled lowly and I touched it embarrassed ."

As the plates were being arranged , Mrs Edina got a phone call .

Erick !

Oh you are here ? She asks excitedly and cut the call after whispering You are at the right moment .

Well Erick is here !! Mrs Edina announced at the table excited ,

"I will go welcome him then," David finally broke his silence and walked out .

what about Yuna ? i found my voice asking timidly ,

Oh honey, Yuna is off to Paris , she had work and it was urgent . I am sorry that she didn't tell you about this ,

It's okay , I replied with a nod.

A moment later, Erick stroded inside the dining room together with a stoned face brother of mine in tow .

i didn't even bother looking at him until I was alerted by mom through her eyes .

He walked and stood just beside me and looked at me after saying Hello to everyone .

He looked at me emotionless making me tremble under his sharp watch,

"it's . it's nice to see you again . I whispered shakily . "

He took a seat beside me and we were served . I wanted to eat everything on the table but I couldn't. I didn't want to piss mom off anymore and I am tired of being slapped or punished .

After I got served I dived in , I ate but my eyes were at the dry roasted meat that layed just a little far from the table . I wanted to devour that dish and eat it all by myself and make sure that I savour every bones in there by myself .

Just there , I started dreaming of the dry roasted meat . Seeing myself in a big hot dish , eating inside it and licking my fingers washing it off with my tongue .

Sofia .. Sofia !!

I snapped out my thoughts looking at the person who called my name .My cheeks reddened looking at the man beside me ,

Day dreaming in the dining table now  ? He asks with a very beautiful accent that made me look at him twice and questioned if it is the same man who came in my room earlier today.

With a state of confusion , I looked at him again before returning to my food saying nothing .

I told you Edina , look at her ! She doesn't eat but day dreams all day long every day .Mom intervined making my appetite to evaporate .

I looked at her meekily before she caught me , I  drank a glass of water and chugged it down my throat  avoiding her stares .

" Done ?" Mrs Edina asked and I nod ,

Ridiculous !!You need to eat my dear, Here have this ! She scold and put a hand full of vegetables together with the roasted meet and salads that covered the whole plate .

I frown and looked at her ,

She looked at me with an intense gaze and dared me to argue but I didn't anymore.

it's not that I wasn't happy with the food , No !! i wanted to eat it so bad , But couldn't because of the salad .

I don't like Salads at all . I have eaten these for as long as I could remember,

Eat ! Mom says sternly and I sighed and started eating the food shoving it down my throat as my taste buds became tatse less  with every bite as my appetite died as i gazed at her smugness.

How ironic , Eat ? Roasted meat ?From Mom ?..That's so rich coming from her .
