Aku Cinta Kamu - Unbreakable Family

Chapter Five

I’m sitting on the couch after coming home from a tired day at work. Being Head of the Institute puts a lot of pressure on my shoulders. I’m constantly on missions, constantly having stacks of paperwork and I’m constantly being asked questions. So being tired and irritated is officially marked off my “to-do” list for today.

After drinking all my tea I finally hear the sound of the door opening and heels tapping on the wooden floor. I look up and see Magnus walking in the living room with bags hanging on his arms. He walks over and drops the bags pulling me into a kiss.

“How was work today?”

“Horrible. I seriously need a break.”

“Darling you had a break a month ago. They need you there.”

“That break was also only maybe four days. Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Normal weekend with only two weekdays. Hardly call it a break. Izzy also had a freaking melt down when I wasn’t at the Institute at all Thursday, Friday and Saturday.”

“Well you spent the time with me. You’ve also got the weekend.”

“Magnus you proposed that’s why I took Thursday and Friday off. The weekend barley gives me any time to be away completely. I’m always connected to that stupid place no matter where I go.”

“So what? The weekends don’t matter? Those are the only days I get to see you for a full day and even then I don’t really see you. You always talk about that darn place and then you find an excuse to leave to go back. Even though I know for damn well everything is under control.”

“Magnus. You know I like the weekends.”

“Do you? That’s not what I just heard and apparently you can’t take days off unless it is very important. And the way you said and I repeat ‘Magnus you proposed to me that’s why I took Thursday and Friday off.’ kinda sounded like you don’t really care about our time together.”

“What? How so? Magnus I took days off to spend time with you. That literally made no sense.”

“Exactly Alexander! It makes no sense. You have a perfect job. Yeah it might not be that well because you might get injured but you do everything new every day. I get to deal with people everyday who threaten me and tell me how to do my job. You’re with your family everyday.

    Then you say that the weekends barley gives you time to be away from that place? From your family? I don’t know because all you said was the weekend barley gives me time to be away. Then you basically just act like you only take time off when something important happens. Alec we have been dating for three years and you want to know how many times you took time off? Twice. Twice. And that was because one, you were sick and two, I proposed to you. But in reality you are never home. You have the weekends off and you still find time to get away from home to do anything else. You’re family has offered you many times to take days off and even mention time with me and you don’t accept.

And here you are complaining that you’re tired with your job. Well it’s my turn to complain too. I’m tired of you complaining about it and then not even being home at all! You might think what I’m saying is stupid but you're not in my shoes. You don’t understand my perspective of things. This isn’t stupid or dumb in my eyes because it doesn’t happen to you…….it happens to me. You leave me. You. Leave. Me. and I’m done with that.”

I watch as Magnus stand up and walks away, he turns around and points to the bags on the ground with tears in his eyes.

“By the way, Happy Anniversary so I should've said we’ve been dating four years instead of three.” Magnus says and walks out of the apartment. I look down at the bags with tears in my eyes not having the willpower to open it up and see what’s inside. I lean my head on the back of the couch and I pinch the middle of my nose, “I’m so sorry Magnus. I’m so sorry.”
