Their Last Wish

Chapter-3

I woke up when the sun was troubling my eyes, yesterday it rained heavily but today the weather was sunny, clear of all black clouds. After getting ready i went to dining room to meet Sarah and have breakfast.

When i entered the dining hall the smell of a delicious breakfast filled my nostrils and i inhaled it willingly already loving the start of a new day. I saw her standing and preparing food, her back was to me and she was wearing a yellow dress which was looking very good on her.

Blindly i went near her and embraced her in my arms. My arms touched her stomach and i lowered my head to her right shoulder and planted a soft kiss. This was the first time i had taken her in my arms, she felt wonderful, so delicate as if a little strength and she would break. But i knew better. Whatever perfume she used was definitely resurfacing. I whispered  “Good morning beautiful!”

I didn’t notice that Sarah stood frozen in my arms not returning the affection. “Er Thanks.” and then pushed me away. I was very irritated and she without looking at me, again started preparing food.

“Breakfast is ready. You eat till i make coffee.” She said coldly. My hands were balled into tight fists. This is it, it is now or never, i have to ask her what this all is about. But first i need to calm down so i turned around without saying anything and went on to sit on the dining chair and waited for her to come and sit too.

After what seemed like a long time she came with two cups of coffee and also joined me. She pushed the plate forward and gestured me to eat pretending as if nothing had happened. My appetite was already lost, maybe this day is not as good as it seemed to be earlier.

“Stop pretending.” I said unknowingly. “There is nothing to pretend Sebastian.” “What did i ever do wrong?” i asked as patiently as possible, she stopped eating mid-way and stared at me incredulously. I stared right back at her. Then she lowered her head, looking down as if in defeat, what is she thinking?

When she raised her head her expression had changed into a cold one but her eyes were telling a different story. “I’m sorry Sebastian, i’m probably hurting you- not giving what you want so badly, but it was not me who asked to marry.” She said those words so venomously that i lost my cool and involuntarily my fist came in contact with the table with a loud bang. Sarah didn’t even flinch “ Oh yeah, but then it was not me who said yes.” My voice going an octave. “I warned you Sebastian that you can never be happy with me but you still wanted to marry me, its because of your desperateness in marrying me that now you are suffering, if it so much troubling you then why don’t you call and bang a prostitute, i will not mind.” WHAT? She said what?

I pushed my chair which fell to the ground and stood, staring at her and shouting “This is what you think of me!!! That i just want to hit on you. Man! What the fuck is your problem??” the flower vase that was decorating the dining table was now smashed into pieces by me. “Why do you hate me?” Sarah didn’t even look at me but she was also now standing. One minute passed in silence and i didn’t got any reply, “Answer me dammit. Yeah you’re right i was the one who asked you out, you know why because i love you. Sometimes when i’m with you i feel like talking to a stranger. Are we even married? Oh yes! I remember we are but do we act like that-NO. Do you hate me so much that you are just living for the sake of marriage? Which one is it Sarah?.” 

By now she was looking at me but all she said was “ You’re getting late for work, eat quickly.” I lay there standing in complete shock, i didn’t even feel like eating in fact i didn’t feel like doing anything. I just took all my stuff and went for the door. “You are insane Sarah. Maybe you want my money or maybe we should call off this marriage.” And then i shut the door.

My most worst first fight with someone most precious to me. I was extremely sad. The drive from home to my office went thinking about my wife. I didn’t feel like going to dad’s one so i went in mine. “A very good morning sir.” The guard replied. I nodded my head. As i entered the lift, my cell phone buzzed, it was James. Urgh! now was not the right time to hear his babbling, but i picked it up anyway. “What?” i said. “Woah someone is not in a good mood today.” He cheered. “What is it James? I’m busy.” “Are you not coming to office today?” “No, i’ll be working at mine today.” He sighed and replied in a tiring voice “ both are yours Sebastian since your father died, i don’t understand why you don’t accept it.” I sighed clearly not the right time “ yeah yeah i know its just kinda hard to wrap my head around it since i didn’t do anything to take the company, it was passed on to me freely just because my father died.” “you will get used to it don’t ya worry kid.” “yeah old man.” I replied.
