UNDERSTANDING HIM

Chapter 4

It was 9 PM already and no trace of Adam. The helper Tessa, she told me he usually returns by 8 every day.

I was waiting for him so that we can have dinner together and clear the misunderstanding which led him to his behaviour the previous night.

I heard the door open and saw Adam entering. He looked exhausted.

"Welcome home Adam. Dinner is ready. Freshnup and come down. Let me take your bag" I said walking towards him.
He did not even glanced at me and went upstairs.

I waited on dining table for him to come down. My stomach was gurgling. I am super hungry, just few minutes till Adam comes then we will have dinner together.

I felt someone nudging and shaking me. I squeezed my eyes shut due to brightness in here and tried to open them again slowly. I turn my head and saw it was morning already. Huh....I think I slept here waiting for Adam.

"Maam are you okay? Why are you sleeping here should I get you something?"one of the helper asked.

"Oh..no, I'm okay. Where is Adam?"I enquired.

"maam, he left for office just now"

"Did he had anything before leaving?"I asked but she shook her head in negative.
Oh God, he didn't even eat his dinner last night.

I went to my room to take bath. After having lunch I thought to watch some TV as I was getting bored. After some hours of changing channels I again got exhausted. Nothing interesting to watch. What should I do? Then I got an idea.
I quickly went downstairs and searched for Tessa. She was in the kitchen giving instructions to other maids.

" Hey Tessa, can I ask you a favour?"I said
"Mila, yes sure, whatever you need I'm here "she said.
" I want you to teach me all Adam's favorite food. I want to cook for him." I said smiling. I cant wait to cook for him.
"Oh.. yes why not. Do you know to cook?" She asked.
" No, that's why I am asking you to teach me" i said.
"Okh...so when shall we start then?"she asked.
" How about now" she nodded.

She told me some basics about cooking and I was very excited to learn. The idea of me cooking for him brings a sudden smile on my lips. Let's see hubby how long you can ignore me.

We almost spent our whole afternoon cooking various dishes and desserts. When we fnally finished it was 5:30 already. After wrapping up in the kitchen I went to my room to get shower and decided to take a quick nap before he arrives.

I woke up and went to the living room, it was 9:30 and Adam is still not home. I decided to watch TV in living room till he arrives. I don't know how I dozzed off.
I wake up with sudden loud noise of TV. I checked the time and it was 3 in the morning. Is Adam home? I went to check on him in his room but he was not there. I checked in gym, library and also his office which is next to library but he wasn't even there. Which means he is not home yet. Where is he? I hope he's fine.

I don't know have his phone number.
Uhhh...what kind of wife I am who doesn't even has her husband's contact number.

I woke up in the morning hearing someone cursing loudly. It was my dear husband in the living room talking to someone on the phone wearing an angry expression on this face.
So now he gets time to return home huh?

I went towards him and saw him hanging up on the person." Where were you last night?"I asked him folding my hand standing in front of him. I bet it would be very funny  to watch a person with such a short height standing and interrogation in front of his huge figure. He ignored me and was about to leave when I grabbed his arm.
" I asked you something?"I said.
He twitch my hand and faced me. His beautiful grey eyes were now intimidating me.

He pointed his index finger at me and shouted "Stay out of my business. You are no one to ask me my whereabouts." And he left.
No one? Ain't I his wife? I feel wetness on my cheek as tears rolled down and I ran towards my bedroom.
