A Lie In Church

15 | Misunderstanding

Winter POV.

I woke up by the sound slamming door. I think it's from the living room. I checked the time and it's 9:00 am in the morning.

I looked at the sleeping Alexis on my side. I smile and caressed her hair before getting up.

I fixed my hair into ponytail and brushed my teeth. I didn't wake Alexis up maybe I wake her up after I finish preparing for breakfast.

When I open the door, fuming Cloud was on the doorstep, looking at me like I made a mistake. If stares could kill I'll be dead right now.

"Goodmorn-" I didn't finish my sentence when he pulled me inside of his room. What the?

"How could you do this Winter". I looked at him confused. What did I do this time?

"What do you mean, Cloud". I ask calmly I cannot help my self to freak out when his holding me tightly in my shoulder with his both hands. I'm scared I never seen Cloud like this before.

"My parents told me that they sent Nisha money for her treatment! Then I ask Nisha myself and she said you're the one who's threatening and rubbing her money for her treatment so she could suffer and die!". His hold make me suffocate. I never could imagine Cloud being like this. I never do anything.

"Obviously, Nisha's not telling the truth at all Cloud. You know me since we were a child. I could never do this kind of shit for someone that I love". He pushed me aside and comb his hair in frustration. My tears starting to flow down my cheeks. I look at his eyes.

"Why didn't you believe me? Why would you believe Nisha!" He smirked and look at me.

"Because she's the one I love, I know her at all". I was stunned, of course he will believe her, she's his great love.

"Believe what you want to believe, Cloud. But I know myself I've true to all my actions and words. I have good intentions not just for you but especially Nisha who I hurt the most when I marry you!". I walked away wiping my tears.

I saw Alexis in my bedroom door, I immediately calm myself and I brought back inside the room.

"Are you two fighting?" She said while sitting in the bed, then I grab the clothes I buy for her and give her a bath without answering her question.

"Is it because of me?" She said and I shake my head telling her no.

Things are so hard, I don't want Alexis to be involved in this. She's just a child and she has her own problem and fear. I want to build a safe environment for her but knowing that me and Cloud are fighting I don't think I can make this fine as it was again.

"Do you want to meet my parents, Alexis?" I asked and she giggled and nodded. I smiled a little, thanks to her I can ignore our problem but I won't be ignoring it for the rest of my life. I want answer from Nisha why did she do this.

I packed a little clothes for me and Alexis. Maybe we will eat outside and I inform my parents that I will be visiting and bring someone with me.

I saw Cloud in the counter drinking while looking at us. He's a bit drunk and I just ignore it, he's too old, he can handle himself.

He stop when he saw I'm holding a bag and he looked away. Maybe it's fine that we ignore each other to cool down and for me take action.

I put our things in the car and I put her in the backseat and clipped her seatbelt.

I drove and find somewhere to eat. I think there is a kid coffee shop in this neighborhood. When I spotted one, I park my car and get her.

When we walk inside, there's a lot of kids. She squeezed my hand tightly I guess she's nervous of being around with crowded people.

"Hey it's okay, you can play and I order something, what do you want to eat?" I asked patting her hair, she look at the menu and gently look at me.

"I can't read, and I'm not picky with food, so I'll eat what you order for me". I didn't want her to notice that I pity her so I just smile and let her play.

After I order, I looked at her not letting her lose my sight.

She can't read? I think I should get her to school and also thinking about adopting her. I know we decide to not adopt her but the attachment that I had to this kid is insane. I love her already.

When our order been placed in the table, I called her and she cheerfully run to me. She sat down and placed her food infront of her.

"I think I made a friend over there". She's pointing at a boy who I think is a bit older than her maybe one year gap.

"Really that's good to know that your making friends. What his name?" She pouted and scratch her hand.

"I didn't ask him because we're to caught up playing, btw thank you for the food". She smiled and pray before eating. She raised very well and I think her parents are so proud of her from above.

"What do you think if I adopt you, will you be happy with me". Her face lightened up and immediately hug me. This is so warm and new to me. I hug her and we both get up after we wait. She waved goodbye to the kid.

I contact my lawyer about the situation and he will get the paper right away. I am thrilled and happy, being a parent is a hard work but with this adorable kid I will not get tired taking care of her.

But first I need to get Cloud's permission, he's my husband after all.
