Fated to be together or not [COMPLETED]

He is caring for you

Nicolle:

I slept the whole day, as I couldn't sleep in the night thinking about Alex.

"Hey Nicolle." I saw Alex sitting on the chair across the bed. He had another chair in front of him and his legs were resting on it. He was working on his laptop when I woke up.

"You came early."

"Umm, Yes. I had some work nearby so I thought to check how are you feeling. Do you think we should go to doctor?"

"No, I am Ok." I want to ask him about yesterday but I cant. If he wanted to tell me, he should have told me by now. He was definitely un-comfortable and now I can tell, its his left arm or shoulder.

"How are you feeling dear." Aunt Grace came in.

"I am feeling good now. It was a bit dizzy in the morning." I replied with a smile.

"I think I should leave now. I just got a message from office. See you later Aunty and let me know if you need anything. We can visit a doctor if you think. Just message me."

Alex stood and tried to pack his laptop which was difficult for him given his wound. But he didn't show anything on his face. Alan quickly dashed in, and Alex left without his laptop. They were working in coordination as though they both have a chemistry. They both left and Aunt Grace sat near me with a bright smile.

"Alex never comes home early, but here he is. He was at home the within minutes I sent him message that you were feeling unwell and taking rest. I am happy he is taking care of you."

"He told me he had work nearby."

"Ok, then why didn't he leave early? He came to the room directly and was sitting here all the time. And the moment you woke up, he left."

"May be he wanted to check me or touch my body when I was sleeping." I thought to myself and a wave of disgust ran through my body. What if he touched my body? He must have touched me. A jerk like him cant stop his hands.

"Have some rest, I will send some fruits with Roni." Aunt kissed my forehead and left.

Thanks to the full day rest, I was fully awake in the night. Alex came little early today and directly went to balcony. I followed him and he was drinking.

He had a glass in his right hand and a whiskey bottle on the floor. He was sitting on the corner of swimming pool with his legs in water. He was looking irritated. What's up with him?

He gulped down half of the glass in a sip and smashed the it on floor. With his hand running in his hairs, he took the bottle and took a sip from bottle directly. Woah, I have never seen someone drinking whiskey with bottle.

He looked at me with unreadable expressions in his eyes. I guess I made a sound which indicated that I was standing there. He kept the bottle on ground.

"You are not sleeping?" He said in a husky drunk heavy voice.

"I was sleeping, I just heard something."

"Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you. I will remember not to make a noise in future." He lightly chuckled and took another sip. He was heavily drunk.

"Since how long have you been drinking today?"

"Let me see, Umm, I guess I don't remember. All I remember is that s**t happened and I went to the bar nearby. Then Alan brought me home and here I am."

"What do you mean by s**t happened?" I asked him moving forward. I was curious, something in his eyes was glittering as if he was about to cry. He was smiling but that smile was causing tears to gather up more.

"I don't think you should worry about that. You already had a lot in your life. You should get some sleep." He looked towards water, indicating that from his side the conversation is over.

I left him near the swimming pool and got to sleep when he went to office at 7. No matter how long it takes him to sleep, he always leaves at 7. But I don't care if he sleeps or not. I am here to make his life a living hell. I guess I got little distracted, but now I am back on track.

I went in kitchen and asked if it is ok for me to take lunch for him at his office. I was not doing this out of care or love. I know he has problems with red pepper. He cant digest it. So he always take black pepper or blunt food like salad. I came to know about this when I asked Aunty when was the last time he had burger. She told me he cant have pepper. Well I am allowed to forget it, after all its been 3 years.

I prepared salad for him and made sure to add lot of red pepper in the sauce.

Alex:

"Sir, your wife is here."

Nicolle is here, why? "Send her in."

"Hey, I know you take lunch here. I thought you drank a lot last night and might be having hangover. So, here lunch for you."

She bought me lunch. I smiled at myself. Well for the first time some one did that for me. Not that nobody wants to do it, but she doesn't want me to interact with anyone more than necessary. So I have to shut everyone out. But I guess with Nicolle, she will behave differently.

I quickly called Mary, and asked her to bring plates for me and Nicolle.

First bite, and I knew it's going to be very problematic for me.

"Why don't you continue. I will eat it later. I just remember I need to send a mail." I told her trying to maintain my composure. I don't want her to feel uncomfortable.

"You hardly took a bite."

"Yes, I took heavy breakfast. Give me 10 minutes."

With that I rushed outside. I know I need medicine right now, otherwise I will end up having ulcers in my mouth and food pipe.

Nicolle:

I saw him rushing outside. So it worked. I gave myself a high five and left for home.

Alex came home at 12 and without saying a word, he slept on the couch. Well none of my business.

I hardly saw him for next 3 days and then, I saw him. Alan was helping him to enter the room. Was he drunk, but no its just noon. He helped him sleep on the bed and went outside. I saw him and noticed he was dizzy.

After few minutes Aunty came with a nurse and started caring for him. The nurse was busy setting up IV Saline and I was just standing there. Shelly came running and hugged unconscious Alex.

"What's happening Shelly?"

"BBro cant have peppers, he gets ulcers in stomach. Its so painful that he cant even drink water or speak anything. God knows how but we think he had peppers. He fainted in a meeting today because he hasn't eaten anything in 3 days. He was only drinking water, that too very less. So he is dehydrated too. We have never see him like this before."

"That's true. Sir is always careful about what he is having. I am with him for past 8 years and have not seen him like this. Someone did this on purpose."

Alan came inside and stood beside Alex, looking like he will find out the person who did this.

I gulped hard. If anyone finds out it was me who did this, I don't know how will they react. I looked at Alex, and yes he was looking pale. I wanted to hurt him, but now I am feeling bad. I don't know why but I didn't want him to get sick.

Why are you feeling bad? You were in hospital for a week because of what he did. You should not forget it. Its just a small price. You need to do more.

But what if he tells everyone that I was the one who put peppers in his lunch.
