Episode 03

Lucas's POV:

"Popcorn??" My eyes pooped out in shock.

"What's up with the shout Lucas? What happened?" Bernadette asked as she walked to me.

"Berna you served me popcorn as lunch?" I asked as she rolled her eyes.

"So what Lucas? What's wrong with eating popcorn?" She asked as I arched my eyebrows.

"What? Am famished Bernadette.... And you prepared popcorn" I replied.

"Huh? What are you trying to say Lucas? I took my time to prepare that for you and instead of you to be happy here you are grumbling" She raised her voice.

I wheeled myself closer to her and touched her hand.

"You stay away from me.... You are nothing but an ingrate" She shouted giving me a scornful look.

"I'm sorry baby, but I just don't understand you these days.... Why are you getting so annoyed with me that you had to prepare popcorn for me as lunch?" I said as she scoffed.

"You should be grateful Lucas.... Yes! Show a little of gratitude at least" She sneered at me.

" But I wasn't ungrateful you know.... I was short of words that I wondered why you would prepare such for me" I said as she sighed.

"If you are wondering then get up from that useless wheelchair prepare lunch yourself" She rolled her eyes.

Hot tears circulated in my eyes as she said that to me.

"Bernadette??" Was all I could say as she snorted.

"What? If you don't want popcorn for lunch then go into the kitchen and prepare something for yourself" She shrugged as she walked away.

I blinked hard, but I still couldn't control the tears from rolling down my face.

Oh, God!

Is this some sort of dream?

Bernadette???

Is she speaking to me in such a manner?

*************

I opened my eyes gradually as I yawned tiredly.

I can't believe it's morning already.

Furthermore, I need to get to work since I now work on my office files at home.

Likewise, I gradually sat up on the bed.

That was when I noticed that the wheelchair was far from me that I couldn't get it.

"Berna! Babe!!" I called but I got no response.

Where could she be?

The door swing open, and she walked in with her cell phone on her ear.

"Uhm.... Babe please help me get the wheelchair" I said as she looked at me with disdain.

"Really? Are you deaf or are you pretending to be stupid Lucas?" She barked at me.

"What is wrong this time?" I asked as she sighed.

"Lucas can't you see, huh? Can't you see that am on the phone, huh?" She replied.

"I know, but you can still get me the wheelchair and continue your call" I said as she clapped her hands in gossip manner.

"Gosh.... You irritate me so much Lucas! What about you? Can't you also stay there until am done answering calls?" She eyed me.

"What? Bernadette?? Why are you treating me this way? If you were to be the one in my shoes now,,,, I will definitely stand by you and...." I said as she flared up.

"God forbid that I will ever be in your shoes.... Don't you dare put me in your shoes" She snapped.

"I know, and I never wanted this to happen to me in the first place so stop making me feel more useless" I replied.

"Well that's because you are useless Lucas.... What the hell is wrong with you Lucas? I can't make calls anymore because I'm babysitting an old man like you, huh?" She shouted at me.

"Bernadette.... Why are you speaking to me in such a tone?" I asked with a teary voice.

"Stop acting pathetic Lucas.... As a matter of fact Lucas you can go get your wheelchair and stop pestering my life" She yelled as she dialed the number.

She laughed as she answered the call and walked away.

Tears streamed down my face as I struggled to get down from the bed and ended up falling from the bed.

I groaned in pains as I managed to drag myself to the place where the wheelchair is.

I kept struggling before I was able to sit on the wheelchair with wounds all over my body.

Bernadette's POV:

"Really? Listen I'm trying my best babe.... I don't want him to say I left by myself, so I want him to ask me to leave so that I can come to you" I laughed.

"I can't wait Berna.... Just cut all ties with that crippled already so that both of us can plan our wedding and future ahead already" Patrick said as I smiled broadly.

"You don't have to worry Pat... I won't waste more time here cos he will be forced to ask me for a breakup" I said.

"Please be quick Berna.... I can't wait to have you here" He said as we shared a laugh.

I hung up smiling broadly.

Not only that, but I can't wait to leave this hopeless man.

Even with his money,,,,, he is still useless to me on that wheelchair.

I heard a loud car horn.

Who could that be?

I walked past the sitting room and saw him chatting with his friend.

That's what he is good at.....

I really need to leave this crippled before he ruins in my life.

************

I crushed the chicken bones noisily as I ate the fried rice and sipped the drink.

Lucas wheeled into the room and I eyed him angrily.

"Uhm.... Babe where is my own food?" he asked as I burst into laughter.

"Your own food indeed?" I sighed and continued eating.

"Bernadette what's all this?" He sounded so angry.

"What Lucas? I ordered for my own food so do the same and stop expecting me to get into the kitchen and stain my well manicured hands" I said as I walked out of the room.

I kept the plate and headed into the bathroom.

Furthermore, I dried my wet hair with a towel as I walked out of the bathroom with a towel tied around my chest.

Likewise, I watched him as he kept yawning hungrily.

How would he order it's almost past eleven?

I smirked mischievously.

Let him starve.

"Bernadette what have I ever done wrong to you?" He broke the silence.

"Let me be Lucas.... Please get out of my room and stop pestering me" I yelled.

"You know I need to take medicine before sleeping, and I can't do that on an empty stomach" He said as I scoffed.

"I don't care... Just get out I need to take my beauty sleep" I said as I pushed his wheelchair out and shut the door.

"Useless crippled" I shouted at him as I closed the door......

TBC.....
