Wedding Eve Error

Chapter 19

Micheal released her hand immediately they got to the door of their room. “Uhm..thank you” she said in a low voice when they entered the room. “Thank you?” he scoffed. “Don’t delude yourself Mrs Obi, I didn’t do that for you, I did it to save my face in front of those people out there. If not you would have tainted me with getting involved with that fool!” he scolded her. “I’m sorry. I didn’t get involved with him, he was the one that kept pestering me, you saw it too” she said with a pleading look in her eyes. “I don’t really care to listen to your gospel, but please let this not happen again. I don’t care if they are the ones pestering you or you do the pestering, just avoid doing it in the public” he glared at her and left to the balcony of their room. Klara turned towards the bed with sadness in her eyes. It hurts her the most whenever he says the he doesn'tc. care about her being with other men. As she laid on the bed, she thought about what happened some minutes back, how Micheal defended her and couldn’t help but smiled. He had always showed care for in public, he held her hands throughout the tour they had in the morning, helping her cross all the difficult landscape. “I want to be with him in the public all the time, that way we will be more close” she said as she smiled mischievously. She got up and peaked into the balcony through the glass and saw him sitting down with his legs on the table. She decided not to disturb him because he seemed to be in a bad mood, so she went back to bed and started pressing her phone but fell asleep later.

When she woke up around 7pm, she couldn’t find him in the room, at the balcony or the garden, so she showered and left the room in search of him. She first went to the beach but he wasn’t there, she then went to the bar but he was still not there, she tried calling him but he kept on rejecting her calls. As she was about to leave, she saw Ken, “hi Ken, did you see my husband?” she asked. “Hey Klara, no I haven’t seen him since after the incident at the beach, hope you are ok?” he asked concerned. “Yes I am, just that I woke and couldn’t find him” she said. “Not to worry, he might be somewhere around” he said. “Hmm..alright I will head back to the room, have a good night rest” she said with a smile as she left. “Young couple, so much in love that they can’t be apart from each other” Ken said to himself as he chuckled and waved a good night to Klara’s receding back. Klara waited for Micheal till 9pm, then ordered for dinner to eat by herself in the room. She would have loved to eat with him but she was so hungry and it was also getting late. She waited for him after dinner while watching the television, but still no sign of him at 11pm. His phone was switch off also which got her worried. She didn’t know where else to look. The hotel is so big. She called the reception and they told her that they saw Micheal leave in the hotel shuttle with a female guest. 'At least he is fine. But who is the female guest he was with and where did they go?' she was having many thoughts in her head. “Get your thoughts together Klara” she cautioned herself as she continued waiting for him. She couldn’t concentrate on the television anymore so she put it off.

She heard the sound of the door being turned on with the key card, she looked at the clock on the wall and it was 1:43am. She rushed to him when he entered, “babe, where have you been? I’ve been worried sick looking for you, your phone is even turned off” she said. “Worried sick looking for me? What am I, a child?” he scoffed. “You are drunk” Klara said as she perceived the smell of alcohol oozing from him. “Excellent observation wifey!” he responded sarcastically as he staggered to the bed and slumped into it. Klara went to him and removed his shoes. She then proceeded to help him lay properly on the bed. As she was trying to pull him up the bed, Micheal drew her down on top of him. They were so close that she could feel his breath on her face. She just stayed there without knowing what to do or think. “My beautiful cheating wife. Tell me, how did you feel when you cheated on me? Was that even your first time of cheating? Did you feel remorseful like I’m feeling right now?” he asked mockingly. Klara swallowed hard, “what do you mean by ‘feeling remorseful like you are doing right now’, did you cheat on me? Is it with the girl you left the hotel with? Who is she?” she asked curiously. He pushed her off him, “do you think you have the right to question me about cheating or feel cheated on? Yes we kissed, but you can’t really consider that cheating with the level of what I saw you do. What I don’t understand is why I feel so remorseful about it. Oh I know why, It’s because I have a conscience, something I don’t think you ever had” he said while pointing and glaring at her with an unsteady pair of eyes. He then dragged himself up the bed, covered himself up and dozed off.

Klara was lost and sad, she felt hot tears trickled down her cheeks. She wiped her cheek with the back of her palm. She looked at Micheal who was snoring lightly. He doesn’t snore, 'he must have drank a lot' she thought to herself as she went closer to him, covered him up properly and went to lay on the other side of the bed. 'Who is this girl that he kissed? Is she more beautiful than I am? Are they just meeting for the first time? I must have to find out who she is' she pondered while tossing in the bed.
