I Want My Love Back

Dan Miller I dare you.

"Stop acting like a drama queen, Dan. Your childish behaviour already makes you get to the hospital. Will you act just a little like a mature old man ? Poor Maria I can't even imagine how much she has to torment because of you.", Pablo scolded him.

Dan plead again while trying to get out of the bed, "Brother, you have no idea how Maria is. It's been more than 15 years since you last saw her. The Maria that you knew before we left the country and settled in X country and the current Maria is totally different. It's not she who is tormenting, it's me your Budy, your brother who had been tormenting daily. Please brother for the sack of the good years we have to spend together, please let me go before she comes please.".

"Dan Miller I dare you to take one more step if you really have courage.", Dan and Pablo both froze as soon as they heard a woman's cold voice.

Valda was also a stunt, right now her back was towards the entrance so she did not know who had just come in and warned Dan. When she heard the voice she recognized who the owner of this voice is. But in her memory, she never heard Maria talking this coldly to Dan. From the beginning of their relationship, it was always Maria who used to act humbly, always afraid to make Dan angry, and was always sweet like honey to Dan. When did she start treating Dan this harshly ?

Valda turned to look at the person and Said happily, "Maria, long time. How are you, my dear ? ".

The moment Maria saw Valda's face the coldness and sharpness she had when she entered inside the room vanished and was replaced with gentleness and warmth, "Ah Valda, really such a long time. When I left the country I thought I would never be able to see you again.", she walked closed to Valda and hugged her.

Valda hugged her back, "Well when you left I thought we would be able to visit each other at least once a year but who knew life would become so busy that we won't be able to meet each other in past 15 years.".

Maria let go of Valda and complained, "All because of Dan. To get rid of his big brother's shadow he decided to start a new life in a foreign country without even discussing it with me. I endured all his dictatorship because I was blind in love. But when I left the country it was so hard for me to live in such a foreign environment, there was no one who I knew or who I could call a friend. I used to miss you daily.".

"Aw, I missed you too.", Valda felt touched.

At this moment Dan who before Maria's arrival was making a fuss was so quiet and trying hard to act as invisible, to not attract Maria's attention.

Beside him Pablo was also looking at his wife who was passionately interacting with her old friend, totally forgetting about the fact that she called her here because of Dan. He was also not planning to remind her as after all Dan is his Budy and the way Maria coldly warned him just now. He also felt he should help his friend to escape as soon as possible.

Valda apologized to Maria, “Maria, for today I am really sorry. Dan got sick at our home, but bel…”.

Maria interrupted her, “Valda, don’t be sorry, it’s not your mistake. In fact, I am sorry because of my so-called husband, you and Pablo have to go through so much trouble.”, then she shot daggers through her eyes at Dan, who was trying his best to hide behind Pablo.

“Buddy, save me this time, please I promise from now on I will lose all chess games to you.”, Dan begged.

Dan’s words hurt Pablo’s self-esteem and he roared, “Damn it you, do you think I am a loser? Who needs you to lose? I want a fair competition, the last game that you won because of Valda’s intervention. That doesn’t count. We will play again.”.

“You two still have the energy to talk about your stupid chess game.”, Valda scolded them.

“Why can’t we? Honey, stop scolding me because of this i***t. He ate the muffin by himself. It had nothing to do with our chess game and our home. He was lucky that he ate it at our home. If it was somewhere else, it would be difficult for outsiders to understand what was wrong with him, and even getting hospitalized on time would also be difficult. Maria, you should hire a bodyguard for him who can stop him from doing stupid things.”, Pablo, who a minute ago was trying hard to save Dan, betrayed him and even added more fuel to the fire.

“Damn you, Pablo.”, Dan cursed him.

When Dan saw his only hope vanish, he started acting weak to make his wife worry about him, “hu… hu… hu… honey I hu … I am not feeling well. Can we talk tomorrow? Hu …. Hu .. I ... Ah .... my chest hurts.”.

“AH what happened, Pablo, call the doctor quickly.”, Valda became anxious.

“Relax, no need to call the doctor. I know him, he is just acting to make me sympathize with him.”, Maria said to Valda calmly.

"Ah ... Ah ... I am not dear. Ah ... I am really in pain.", Dan cried.

Pablo also became anxious, he quickly pressed the bell and said to Dan, "Bear it for a minute. The doctor will be here soon.".

"Maria, it doesn't look like he is acting, he really is in pain.", Valda said to Maria with worry.

"You two don't know him well. Although you know him from school time, I have wasted my whole damn beautiful years with this man. I know him well.", she took out her mobile and continued, "You don't believe me, then you just wait let me call Juliet here. She will fix this old man.".

When Dan heard this name, he panicked, "Ah ... ah ... No don't.... don't call her. Look, I am fine, I am absolutely fine. I am sorry, Honey, I made you worry. It was all my fault, but please don't call her here. I promise I will not do such a stupid thing again. In fact, Pablo is right. You should hire a bodyguard for me. I deserved to be watched like a criminal.".
