A Crush On My Husband

31. A Crush On My Husband

"I gotta leave to England tonight."

"What?!"

I flickered my eyelids a few times trying to absorb what I just heard.

All of sudden, why England?

"Official work. Now, could you help me with the packing?" He kissed my forehead and pulled me up to our flat like there is no big history with that place.

Though he looked genuinely reasonable for his England trip. I just didn't feel it right. I felt like something bad is gonna happen.

"When will you be back?" I asked him while we enter the lift.

"Not sure,depends on how fast the work ends. But I'll be back home very soon."

He gives me back a sincere smile but I still didn't know why I didn't want to let him go to England. I know his ex-girlfriend is from that place, but she is dead and decayed and still my instinct doesn't let me think straight.

"Take care Ana, stay safe. I'll be back soon."

"You too Dra....I'll miss you.." Though I had the urge to tell those three words to him, I didn't feel like telling him now. Probably, I shall confess when he returns back home.

I hug him tightly. "I'll miss you too, Ana.." He hugged me back and we stayed like that for a while. But slowly he pulled away hesitantly. Damn! Why should he leave now? We both were good in each others arms and now we gotta part...hopefully its just for a day or two.

"Bye Ana.."

"Bye Dra..."

I look at the bed on which I sleep all alone daily. But today it looked empty. Well actually, the entire house was eerily silent. I walk out of the bedroom with no mood of sleeping on the bed and reach the living room.

My eyes fall on the couch on which Drake lays down every night. I smile at the imaginary Drake sleeping on it and walk towards the couch. I lay on the soft cushion and watch the ceiling which probably Drake looks at it every night while falling asleep.

I could still smell his scent from the cushions and it felt like I was back in his arms.

I sigh and decide to call her who is the reason I'm here right now.

"Mom...."

"Ana!!! My baby!!! How're you? I love you so much dear!!!"

Though her voice seemed tired outta work, she didn't loose the sparkle. She was so glad that I found time at least now to call her.

"I love you too mom and I miss you so much!! I'm good and what about you?"

"Yeah I'm fine. Where's Drake?"

"Eh...he left to England a while back. Work-related." I didn't have the mood to explain in detail and decided to just give the keywords so she could frame the story on her own and since my mom knows me really well. She decided not to talk or ask more about it.

We spoke for a little longer and it felt like being back to just playing the role of a daughter ignoring the role of a wife for the time being. My heart felt light and I could breathe peacefully after speaking to mom for so long.

"Thankyou so much mom. Love you"

"Love you more sweetheart."

She agreed to my request. I better inform Drake before he boards the flight.
