Ch10: Stay

It was over a month now since he left for Germany. He finally decided to come back. Her mother's serious health condition made him come back. Her only wish was to see him happy and he wanted to give her that even if it was fake. He also heard about Ray's fights due to her agitating attitude due to pregnancy and her bad health that made her lose ton of weight and faint at many occasions.

She was going back home from hospital because of his sudden text. He was at home waiting for her. She was worried about how he was going to react and what he was going to say now.She entered halls passing through the living area he was sitting next to her mother in the centre and he was looking at her. He has trimmed his beard and hair. It was clear that he made some effort and that was rare of him.

Looking at her coming inside he asked her to follow her with his eyes. She started following him like a puppet. They were now on rooftop it was empty and the sky looked a little cloudy like usual he was staring at the sky and she was facing his back. Then he started speaking after a moment.

Sam: " I met your physician you have lost ton of weight and due to overwork you are over stressing too if this will go on it will be bad for both of you. So from now on you will go for regular checkup twice a week. I have ordered chef he will take care of your nutrition specifically.

You will only work five hours a day no overtime and also weekends will be off. No late night parties or drinking or any useless stuff. We are going for a trip to the farmhouse tomorrow as well so pack your bags. I will take care of you from now on and you will do as I say understood?."

Ray: "why?" She was shocked.

Sam: " Because of mom I want her to be happy and because I want to perform my responsibilities at least until delivery if I will get used to it I will stay even later." His face was cold.

Ray: "You will stay here?" She further asked.

Sam: "Yes.Now let's go everybody is waiting." He had his poker face on.

He left her standing there. He went down he was still calm. She was amazed she could not believe he was actually there now she went down.He was sitting with everyone trying to indulge himself in chats and sometimes he would fake his laugh. They were planning about their family trip.

She was on the stairs as she was so focused on them she slipped her foot.Quickly he ran towards her he was panicking. In a nick of time she was now in his arms and he was holding her carefully. Her arms wrapped around his neck. Her face close to her heart and she could hear his heartbeat. He put her down on the sofa and was looking at her feet luckily she was not injured. He asked the cook to deliver her food on sofa.

He was sitting on the table next to sofa looking at her carefully making sure that she ends her plate. He was totally unaware of the other people staring at them. After talking for hours in living room with everybody it was finally night. He held her hand and led her to the room. He carefully made her lie on bed. Then he removed her shoe and put a blanket on her gently. Then he lie down next to her and pulled her closer to him.

"Why are you being so nice?" She questioned.

"I am doing what's good for your health." He was staring at the roof.He pulled her even closer to him and his arm around her head.

"Did she also asked to do this?" She teased him.

"She told me that you are facing loneliness and it will be good for you if someone can...." he stopped and made an awkward face.

"Complete your sentence Sam or are you being shy?" She teased him.

"Stop falling. If you will have a miscarriage I will not get drunk again and sleep with you."

"Such sentences are good for my health too right?" In an irritated voice. He has offended her again.

"You are good at taking benefit. Anyway do you know its gender?" He sounded curious.

"No it's still early."

"I want a girl." He spoke joyfully.

"I want a boy and it will be a boy." She was confident.

"You can never do what I want right." He was agitated by her answer.

"I just know it's a boy."

"Your belly.... I mean your waist...forget it." He was irritated.

He looked at her tummy. She knew what he was trying to say. He was still shy even when he was hugging her tightly but still he was looking away, avoiding eye contact. Trying to talk about stuff to overcome his anxiety.

"I know you like my waist line but I will grow even fat now. I will dance for you in a half crop tank after delivery I promise you will see it this time and I will not do anything this time."

"I do not like it and I do not want to see." He denied.

He looked away. She put her face closer to his chest his heart was beating fast and his face was red.

"I read your books. I was captivated by your words. It reminded me of everything. I really cherish all of that. I miss the old you. Do you not write poems anymore?"

He was shocked. He shuddered he was embarrassed he felt as if somebody saw him naked he tried to move away but she quickly pulled him closer.

"Do some poem for me sometime like the good old days. Good night."

She was grabbing him even tightly with her head on his chest. Her eyes were closed. She was silently listening to his racing heart. Finding himself helpless he was trying to calm himself but soon he fell asleep too. He denied the fact but he could always sleep easily in her presence without any medications being used.
