The love of my Wife

Chapter 5

Chapter 5

It was a week after her brothers' wedding. We had gone out because it was the day the guys were being sent to her house.

We went shopping for few gifts so I could win her family over.

She told them we were dating when they caught us stealing kisses in the kitchen one day. She had come clean and told them that I had asked for her hand in marriage.

Well, they were pretty chilly from then on. I think her GrandMa is always giving me the stinky eyes whenever I was around her. Her brothers just ask me a few questions and move on they actually weren't too pleased about it too I guess.

I told her what I thought and she just shrugged and said it gets awkward around her family whenever the subject of marriage is brought up and not too worry much.

It was almost late in the afternoon and we were in a restaurant to get lunch when the guys called.

" Soo, how are you man?" Daniel asked he was on speaker and his voice wasn't as chirpy as before.

" I'm good."

" Dan so," She asked expectantly.

" Soo, How much do you love her?" he asked ignoring her.

" Enough to give her the whole world." I answered.

She was surprised and gave me a small lingering smile

" Call you in a bit guys." he said and hanged up.

By this time my nerves were getting to me I couldn't even handle the shakiness in my legs. She even looked so nervous that she was biting her nails. I took her hands in mine and started giving them kisses.

" What if they say no? Can you run away with me?" I asked jokingly but honestly, I had lost that much to my nerves.

" Will we be happy? " She questioned.

" I can try to make you happy?"

she didn't look pleased and just hang her head in defeat. She was scared too so I hugged her close. Suddenly the waiter came and she left my embrace.

" What can I get you?" he asked with a broken English and looked over at her. She had her head turned so he didn't get a close look.

" We will order a bit late, Amesegenalew ( Thank you )" I said I couldn't imagine stomaching any food now.

She looked troubled and had tears in her eyes it was my turn to console her.

"It's ok. Don't worry your mom likes me, remember." I assured.

Yep her mom truly adores me and tries to make conversation with me. She always has a sweet smiles very similar to hers. They were

carbon copies of each other.

She cleared her tears and smiled at me.

We were thinking up a whole scenario of bad cases.

Her phone cleared us away from our thoughts when it started ringing.

" Henok," She said waiting expectantly for his response.

" Are you free on Saturday this week? " he suddenly asked. We looked at each other confused.

" huh?"

" mene(huh)?"

" Well they said they were giving us the response then." He cheered.

" Oh my God! Are you serious? " she suddenly said and wrapped herself around me.

" I don't understand they didn't give a clear answer" I said confusion taking over.
