If I only could

Chapter 9

"Someone who just met a girl but now it's coming back to the past." His sister Vicky said as he gets down. He saw them decorating the house as he planned.

"Oh come on!" He said.

"Isn't it better?" Suddenly their Mum said and everyone just shut their mouths. He just laughed.

"Oh just make sure she's not fooling you around." Andi said and he look at her as he get ellaine from Ian's arms.

"Come on, Guys. I can handle my wife." He said.

"Nevermind." Andi said while helping his sister Mandy baking the cake.

He went back upstairs with Ellaine in his arms to wake his wife up.

He smiled as he open the door and there she is sitting up the bed.

"Good morning, Mum!" He said and close the door behind him before walking to his wife.

He sat next to her and left a kiss on her lips and gave Ellaine to her.

"Happy birthday my love." His wife said and kiss the forehead of their baby. He hug her.

"How time flies! It's been a year now when you gave me this precious gift ever." He said and she smile. Suddenly her phone beep. He look at her.

"Just ignore it." She said.

"Will you just come back with us?" He said but he heard no answer from her. "Okay, Just get ready, I will let Ellaine to play with her cousins downstairs." He said and get up next to her with Ellaine in his arms. He just left a kiss on her forehead before walking away.

He went back in his room and saw his wife with only her two piece. She suddenly turned her back like she's too shy to show herself. He laughed.

"No need to hide, Remember how we have Ellaine." He said and chuckled.

"Just go, I'll dress up for a while." She said still shy, he just laughed and kiss her forehead.

"We'll stay." He said and sat on the bed. Jessie picked her clothes and walk to the bathroom. He sighed.

"I'l be downstairs then baby!" He yelled for Jessie to hear him.

-

Jessie were about to walk down the stairs but then he heard his husband talking to someone the reason she step back.

"Come on, Jackie. I know, I know. I can't be there right now, I have to celebrate with my daughter.... Oh no, please don't .. Okay I'm sorry... I know, I know.. I'll see you tomorrow, okay?" That's it and she heard nothing.

She went back to their room, yep, she shouldn't be jealous especially it's not clear at all. But knowing her Danny's friendship with that girl is growing.

She lock the door behind her and sat down. She hug herself.

If she'll lose him then everything will be gone.

How she wish Danny knew the whole reason why she's with Jack.

It's a shame that she can't tell her husband everything just because she don't want him to be involved.

Her phone suddenly rang. She walk to get her phone under the bed side table.

-

She saw everyone enjoying the day, while her daughter is with Danny talking to some of their closest friends while there she is trying to find time to escape.

Yeah, she has to leave just what Jack's wants.

Since nobody seems to noticed her, it will be a good timing to escape.

Everything is settle now, she'll leave this house and stay to some hotel near by until her flight back to U.S

As she was about to walk away she saw her husband walking near her with their daughter with him.

"Hold her for a second, I'll get something upstairs." He said and hand Ellaine over her.

She hug her daughter for the last time. Wish that she could stay here with them.

"Mummy has to go, be good to Daddy okay? I love you and I love your Dad." She said whispering to her baby. She kiss her forehead. "Mummy will find a way, Okay?" She said again and kiss the baby's cheeks.

Her husband is back and she gave Ellaine back.

"I'll be inside." She said and Danny just nod. He walk away and meet some people and have a little chat.

As she saw all of her in laws busy with their own things she took the chance to get out there.

She succeed without them knowing that she left. She doesn't want to but she surely don't want her husband to be involved with this life though he's the only way for her to get her freedom.

-

All of their guests have left and he felt like something missing.. Or better say someone is missing.

"Have you seen my wife??" He asked everyone in the house.

"No, I haven't seen her since this afternoon." Dara his brother said. She's not in their room, for short she's not anywhere. He pulled his phone from his pocket and dial her number.

After a 2 rings, it's off. She turned off.

"She left!" He said in disappointment. He sat down on the couch next to his sister Mandy.

"Oh really? Great, she fooled you again." Vicky said. He can't blame her nor everyone.

"Oh well, she'll choose the guy over you. She forgot the vow she made herself when you both declared officially as husband and wife." That's Andi. He sighed.. He thought everything will be alright after she let him kiss her.

"Let her be." He said and get up. He get his daughter and went upstairs.

Maybe it's time for him to move on now, it's time to accept the thruth that his wife will never come back to him.

After feeding his daughter, he put her down next to him and get his phone.

While scrolling down there he saw a post from his wife.

"Oh great! You're thinking of him even in your daughter's birthday. You can't even wait few hours before leaving." He said and turned off the phone.

It's a disappointment to see her post of the guy she's dating while saying on the caption that she can't wait to see him in 2 days. He sighed and lay down next to his daughter.

"Don't leave me, minimal, Okay?" He said though he knew that his daughter won't respond in her deep sleep.
