I woke up late next morning and was instantly standing and going to the connected room. The sun had risen, hiding all the traces of darkness outside. The smell of fresh bread and butter wafted inside Jim's room. I closed the door behind me only to open it again.
Jim wasn't in the room.
Aaron must have something to do with it. I was sweating profusely and after checking the whole house including the garden and the washrooms. I asked Mr and Mrs. Butler but they didn't know anything.
At last I called Aaron. He picked up on the first ring.
" Hello Wife."
I frowned.
" You know my number. " I asked even though I knew the answer.
" You seriously think that while you sleep coddling my chest in a short black slip, I will just lay there waiting for your mobile to fly over to me from the guest room. " he said ," I took your number."
" Other than being a sanctimonious, rich, hypocritical bastard, you're also a thief. " I said exasperated.
" Thief? Sweetheart, stow away your claws, I didn't steal anything. I took it. Its one of my right as a husband."
Rights as a husband! Where were those rights when you slept with other women?
" I want my son back ! Right here! Right now. " I exclaimed.
" I will be back in another two hours. We are in the zoo with my Mom. "
Mom ..
The world stopped for a second. One person who hated me more than anything was Mrs. Cole. With her extravagant and ostentatious profile, one would never doubt her as a conventional person.
But she was.
" You are American. No Italian blood in you. You will spoil our blood. Your son would never be my grandson. You are a wench, Savannah Waters, nothing else. No one would respect you in my family."
And no one did. I never met Aaron's cousins or his half brothers. Even during our marriage, Aaron never talked of his family. When questioned, he got annoyed or changed the topic.
" Why are you so adamant about it? I said No, so No." He concluded with a harsh sound.
" I just want to meet.." He interrupted.
" I don't want to talk about this, not again. They don't want to meet your Jim or you. Get it in your fat brain."
