Leon

The look on Pob's face was undeniable. To one who didn't know him, they will not be able to tell but I saw the way his eyes dimmed and the slight shift in his stance despite the smile on his face.

"Congratulations! Proud and happy for you Leon" Pob chirped merrily, he greeted Leena respectfully and mentioned about having to go home before it got too late. Before I could respond, Pob had left.

I wanted to go after him but Leena stopped me. "You promised, 2 years of this and I will let you go. But if you do anything funny in between, you can be guaranteed I will tell my family."

I stopped, gripping and clenching my fists in anger. I took a deep breath and turned to her, "Let's go home then dear."

Leena changed her look completely, smiled sweetly and walked off. I followed after her, eyes just a little glimmery.

I could never be happy, could I?

(The next day)

I sent Leena to work and was off to mine when I saw Pob in a cafe opposite her work place having his breakfast. It was a cat cafe too and there were cats milling about, lazing. I caught him petting them and just being his usual self. I smiled and desperately wanted to go there and say hi. I wonder if he still remember the first time we met, me having gotten slapped by a girl and he offering me ice whilst cradling a little kitty fellow. I smiled at that again and decided to make my way over.

I walked in only to find him standing up. SHIT! He was done with his breakfast. He turned around cradling a baby kitten and was smiling away. He saw me and his smile dimmed a little but it soon went back to the smile he reserved for strangers.

I was put out, I knew me being married was going to shock him but I hoped he will hear me out. Will he?

He came towards me, smiled and left, still cradling the kitten. 1st strike out.
