Goodbye Yesterday

Fixing The Bitch's Wagon

Hello, ghost readers *clears throat*

Please 🙏 please, if you can keep reading this book, then surely you can spare a minute to vote and comment. It's all I ask for. Have some conscience na 😪  This is the point I need everyone's support. This book is just starting and if you can't support me at this crucial time, then I'm afraid, I'll have to put it on hold and focus on my other stories instead. Thank you for your understanding 🙂

Here's an update! Enjoy! 💕

"I thought...I thought," she stuttered, searching for a coherent excuse to give.  "I thought your phone was ringing. Yes. So, I came to check, but you startled me."

"Sorry." He apologized and rubbed his eyes to wear off sleep from them. "Let me have the phone. I hope it's not badly broken."

"Yes." She quickly crouched and picked up the phone. Her eyes scanned every corner of the phone, before she extended it to him. "Just a small crack. It's still working."

Sameer collected the outstretched phone and went through it. "But nobody called." He remarked.

"Yes, I discovered. I must have imagined it. I rushed over to see, in case it was an important business call. Sorry for disturbing your sleep." She apologized, balling her hand into a fist. In spite of not being the ideal husband to her, she had never complained, but if he was indeed cheating on her, she vowed not to let it slide easily.

He hummed. "You should go back to sleep."

Adhika forced a smile and ambled to her side of the bed and got in. She watched as Sameer instantly went back to sleep — his soft snores could be heard.

She wiped away the tears that wouldn't stop streaming down her cheeks. The pain of betrayal wasn't one she could put up with. It felt as though someone had stabbed her in the heart with a dagger and was slowing ripping out the organ.

Morning arrived slower than Adhika had anticipated. She stretched out her limbs and let out a yawn. Her gaze then darted to the empty space beside her. Without a doubt, she knew Sameer had already left for work, without even telling her. She was supposed to be used to it by now, but she couldn't bring herself to get used to the fact that her husband didn't value her that much.

After she was done with her morning routine, she went downstairs to help Divija with some of the chores.

"Hey! Good morning. You look pale." She observed, as soon as she walked into the kitchen. "Are you sure we don't have to go to the doctor?"

"Good morning to you too and yes, we don't have to go to the hospital." She heaved a sigh and massaged her temple. "I just didn't have enough sleep last night."

"Really?" Divija wiggled her brows, jestingly, bumping their shoulders together. "You didn't have enough sleep? What were you doing all night?"

Adhika cringed at her words and pushed her away. "Your mind is perverted."

"What is so perverted about my mind? Duh!" She rolled her eyes. "You two are married and you just said tiu didn't have enough sleep. What do you expect me to think?"

"You're impossible." She shook her head and brought out a crate of eggs from the refrigerator. "I'm going to fry some eggs. Do you want the same thing for breakfast?"

"Anything will do." She shrugged. "You know me, I'm not picky. Uhm...is it just the two of us?"

"Yes." She responded, breaking some of the eggs in a bowl. "It's just the two of us. Sameer left for work early."
