Every Glance Counts

Chapter 2 : Hoping

happy chapter 2 !

-------------------

Malik may have an amnesia.. but he's still my husband. Nothing has change, his presence, the powerful aura that's surrounding him, it's still there. That's why I still can't look at him directly in the eyes.

"I will go home to fetch your clothes" Malik was satisfied with her reasoning, walk to approach her and the next thing that she knew, she was again, sitting on Malik's lap. The warm body of my husband was feeling my body.. My body was cold, probably from nervousness.

"You can ask John to fetch it. The only place that you should be in right now, is in your husband's side." This man is really different! Is it possible for a person to change his personality after having an amnesia? or maybe this is not really my husband? did the enemies kidnapped my real husband and had this impostor to pretend?

My head is clouded because of how my husband's action when I suddenly felt his nose in my neck. "Why aren't you talking? are you still worried about me" Malik is like a kid, wanting for my attention as he keeps rubbing his nose in my neck

Even if I wanted to stand and hide my face, I can't seem to do it because of the strong arm around my waist. All I can do is to touch his head to avoid him from looking at me,

I know I'll melt from the stares that he will give me. Back then, I count every glance that he gives me, wanting him to look at me even more. But now, I feel like I can't move my legs everytime I meet his stares because of the emotions that he kept on showing!

"Okay. are you hungry? do you want me to peel a orange for you?' I don't now where I got my courage to talk, but I took that opportunity to get off from his lap. If only this happened when he doesn't have an amnesia, I'm sure I will be the happiest woman alive. But now is different, I feel like I'm talking to another person.

When he nodded, I carefully stood up from his lap, not wanting to hurt his nose if ever I stood up aggresively. The fruits are in the table away from the bed. I turn my back against him as I peel some oranges,

Even when I'm far away from him, I can still feel his piercing stare in my back as if I'll disappear any seconds if he left his gaze in me.

After I peeled some oranges, I quickly go to his side, avoiding to have a chance for our stares to meet if I walked slow. I was holding the orange in my hand while waiting for him to open his mouth.

I felt like my cheeks burning as soon as his soft lips touched the tip of my finger when I put a orange in his mouth. As soon as he finished chewing it, I put another orange in his mouth, not wanting him to have a chance to talk.

My actions continued until his mouth is already full of oranges. He suddenly grab my hand when I was about to put another orange in his mouth. " It's really sweet. taste it" I thought that he will make me it the orange in my hand, but I was wrong. Instead of a fruit, I felt a soft lips feeling mine.

My eyes were widening as I feel him pushed something in my mouth. At first I thought, it's his tongue but then I when it glided in my teeth, it suddenly burst. That's when I realize it's a orange. He let go of my lips while we're both gapping for air. So that's what he means when he said 'taste it'

"It's sweet. Right? We should ask Baron to buy more of those fruits" yes, it really is sweet, but I don't know if it's the fruit or your lips I blushed with that thought.

I looked at him, his eyes never left mine and his expression says that he is waiting for my opinion. I was about to open my lips to say yes when the door suddenly opened and my in laws entered the room.

"What happened? why is he acting weird? I closed the door behind me and faced mama Clarita. Mama Clarita is Malik's mother. After checking on Malik's condition, she asked me to talk with her privately. Maybe because she's confused on how Malik treats me differently.

Papa Alejandro, Malik's father is inside the room with Malik to keep him accompany since Malik doesn't want me to leave the room.

All of the people around us, our families know how Malik treats me. He may not be hurting me, but he's always giving me a cold treatment. And we understand why Malik treats me that way since I'm the one who took his freedom from him when I suggested the marriage to my father.

"He's suffering from amnesia because of the accident, Mama There were also toxins that may cause him to recover slowly.." Mama Clarita showed me a shock expression. I know how worried she is because of what happened to her son. Even I, I'm also worried to my husband. Our relationship may have flaws but that will not change the fact that I am his wife.

"How about you Anastacia? Are you okay? From what I saw awhile ago he treats you nicely" Even when I'm a selfish woman, Mama Clarita never failed to show me that she cares for me and that she treats me as her own,

"I'm always okay mama. Malik always treats me nicely, he never hurt me. Though this time it might be different beacause he really treats me as his wife.You don't have to worry Mama he will not become a duke if he's weak. And I will take care of him"

After the conversation with mama, She entered the room and asked Malik about his condition. While the doctor approached me and ask to come into his office to discuss about Malik's condition.
