The playful Greek dad

Chapter thirteen

"Thanks kuya!"

Thrilled with excitement,I put my phone down. Two more hours and I'm done for the week,excited for the weekend to come so I can spend time with my family.

My brother wants me to follow them in Manly to where they took their vacation. I haven't been there for long time now. Manly is a small island more than an hour away from Sydney harbour. It's a tourist destanation,quite a place to relax and enjoy from the busy city of Sydney.

The past few days is so quiet,Geoffrey and I barely talked,unless it's about business. We don't even regarded each others pressence at work,he will leave a notes or send emails. That's how we communicate most of the time .

Like today,he send me some files through email and I have to print them,study the whole proposal before I submit it to him. I've finished the files and submitted it while he was on a meeting early this afternoon.

I rang the day care center telling them that I'm on my way to pick up George. I'm excited to see my brother and Diane again and I know George too.

"You seem happy!"

I looked at the guy standing in front of my desk table. He is frowning,looking at me. I haven't noticed him,might be because of my attention stock on my excitement to be with my family again.

"Pardon?"

I said

"You seem happy,I wonder why? The fact that you have talked to me profesionally,treating me so cold as if I am the one who should feel guilty,makes me feel more fuming with anger,while there you are smiling happy"

His face is grim and I can feel his heated anger towards me. And I wont let that succumb me,not once,not ever. I've cried every night since our confrontation about George and my infidelity according to him.

"It's not my fault you didn't listen to me and it's not my fault you chose to sulked over a thing that doesn't have to be and I am happy that I will be seeing my son and will be spending a weekend away from this crazy situation and away from you"

I saw how shocked he is to what I've just said. Then slowly his shock expression change in to neutral again,no emotion shown and I can't see him again. He then smirked and looked at me knowingly.

"Yeah! Away from me,liked what you did two years ago,you run away from me without a word that you will leave,that's where you good at leaving everything behind you,never cared for what would you left would feel,you are being so selfish again,over and over again"

I'm beyond speechless,is that how he saw me? A selfish woman?

Suddenly I sat down to my chair,my knees are shaking,my whole being are shaking. I am selfish! He is right I am selfish when I decided to leave him and run away. I am selfish when I decided to stop reaching up for him to let him know we are expecting a baby.

"I....I never intended to.....but I have to......and your actions...your actions pushed me away...."

I stopped when my phone ring. I looked at him,he looked away from me but he didn't move. I cleared my throat and took my phone,private number registered without hesitation I answer the call.

"Hell....hello?"

"Anak?"

"Ma?"

I didn't expect this call,so I am surprise she rang me.

"Surprise honey,I'm at the lobby waiting for you"

Lobby? What is she talking about? She doesn't even know where I work and she's in the UK. Oh god! She's making fun of me again.
