Martha's P.o.v
"So my dear Andrews, how is life?" She asked then held his hand in hers.
"Well, okay I guess. I'm just so astonished and amazed to find you here. The last time I heard about you, it was when you were going out of the country to pursue your dream career." He answered cheerfully.
"Yeah, I was so happy then. Sadly it never worked out, so I came back and well ...went to college here, I'm mostly busy with trying to run some few things here and there." She said with sadness lanced in her voice.
The more she talked, the more I was getting pissed. What the hell was I to them?. Invisible?.
"We should get dinner sometime." He whispered surprising me.
"That would be ni..."
"Excuse me," I spat getting both their attention.
"Linda, this man in front of you is my husband." I warned seriously.
"What?" She asked while blinking a few times.
"Wait, You married Andrews?" She asked in nearly a scream.
"Well yeah, problem?" I asked coldly as I stood up.
She quickly looked at him then back at me.
"No, not at all. I was just a bit surprised that he is your husband." She answered in a low tone.
I was about to ask why was that when sonny cleared his throat.
"Well, I too I'm surprised at what is going on. I had no idea that you are my wife's sister." He said seriously then forced a smile on his face.
Wait, What was that expression on his face?. Was it disappointment?.
"I am the younger sister of your wife." She said simply then took a step back.
"So you are my sister-in-law I guess, what a small world we live in."He whispered.
Was he seriously disappointed!.
"Yes. Anyway, what brings you here?" She asked surprising me even more.
That was suppose to be my freaking question!.
"I came here to take my wife for lunch. We are having lunch together with my mother, but you can join in if you want." He said.
"Well, I would lo...."
"f*****g no." I yelled.
They both looked at me as if I was crazy.
"No f*****g way is she coming with us." I said seriously.
She waved her hand in the air then chuckled softly.
"And why is that?" She asked.
"Because you are very busy, remember Linda?" I asked in a threatening tone.
"Yeah I do....um... Eli, I'm sorry I can't tag along. Hopefully next time I get to have more time." She said as I clenched my hands in fists.
They even had their own f*****g pet names. What were they to each other?. Because no matter how looked at it. They had this ex's still in love aura around them.
"Sis, I have to leave now. So please keep me updated with your plans." She said then walked out of the office without another word.
I threw Myself in the chair and brushed my hands through my hair with a low groan.
"So, how are you, Martha?" He asked as I gave out a short laugh then faced him.
"Don't make me laugh in tears, Sonny. After all that time, this is when I have become visible?" I asked seriously as he smiled.
"I'm so sorry, it's just that I didn't expect to see my former best friend and ex in your office." I answered with a grin.
I kept quiet and let his words sink in.
"Ex?" I asked in a whisper.
"Yeah, Linda is my ex. The thing that made us break us was the fact that she was leaving the country." He said simply.
I stood up slowly and moved closer to him. My hands were slightly trembling and my breath getting labored.
"Martha." He called softly.
I held his hand and smiled with tears in my eyes.
I was feeling pain just knowing that the two of them were lovers.
"Martha, we have to go and have lunch with my mother. But first, I want you to meet someone." He said then pulled out his hand and went to the door and opened it.
I took in a deep breath and released it. Whoever he or she was. They weren't suppose to see me in such a state.
"Come on," Sonny whispered softly and opened the door wide.
A handsome boy entered and walked in with a smile.
I frowned then glanced at Sonny for a second before turning my gaze completely to the boy. He was tall and slender with beautiful ocean blue eyes, his hair was thick and black, and he wore black shorts which was matching perfectly with his checked t-shirt.
Something about him felt tremendously familiar and friendly.
He pointed a finger and me and looked at Sonny who nodded with a smile.
He moved closer and stood in front of me.
"Hello mother," He greeted as I powerlessly fell to my knees
"Martha!" Sonny called and rushed to my side kneeling beside me.
The boy had a scared expression on his face.
For a minute my vision became blurry and my hearing dimmed.
"Martha!" Sonny's loud voice came through.
I faced him slowly and swallowed hard.
"Damn it. Son find that secretary and quickly call her to come here." He ordered.
The boy was about to go when I quickly grabbed his hand.
He slowly turned and faced me with a sad expression.
"Mother. Are you alright?" He asked softly.
I bite my lower lip hard as tears blurred my vision.
"Martha," Sonny called loudly.
I couldn't keep it in. Tears rolled on my cheeks and my hands began trembling terribly.
"Son," I whispered softly as tears continued to fall.
"Mother." He answered.
I quickly embraced him and cried out loud.
"My son!. My baby boy?" I cried on top of my voice.
He really was in my arms. He finally was in my arms once small.
"I didn't want to leave you I swear, I had no choice." I sobbed loudly.
If he could only forgive me for what I had done. I really never wanted to let him go.
"Martha," Sonny called softly.
I pulled back and looked at him.
He had tears filled in his eyes and a sad smile.
"Have you forgotten that mother is waiting for us? Your son won't be going anywhere. He will be with you forever." He said softly.
I crawled to him and wrapped my arms around his shoulders.
"Thank you, Sonny. Thank you." I whispered huskily.
All the anger and hate I felt towards him was vanishing and being replaced by gratitude and happiness.
