Three Hearts

Chapter14

“Sir the police are looking for you”- My secretary said to me on the other side of the phone

“Let him come in”- I said and hang up the telephone

“Sir, you called for us?”- One of the police officer said

“Yes”- I give him the flash drive that I already prepared “That is the copy of the CCTV in the parking lot of this building, I want you to investigate the person behind that mask”- I added

“Any clue about this mask man sir?”- He ask me and I just shook my head as an answer to him

“If possible find him, he almost killed my wi--- I mean my friend. I want to file a case against that mask man”- I said to them and they just nod to me and leave my office

I was staring at my screen, beautiful. That is the only thing I could say. Well, I can’t blame myself why I only appreciate her when she’s no longer mine. Why did I focus myself back in the days to someone that I can’t have? I mean we became pretty close, she helped to court her close friend I didn’t keep my distance to her even though I know that she likes me.

Before our first year anniversary as a married couple, I am still busy with my work stuff, I didn’t give her the time that she needed the most and the only thing she ask for me. My time. I admit, I don’t love her back then or maybe I do and I am just a coward that I can’t admit to myself.

Back at that time what I was only thinking was the baby she was carrying, I don’t want that baby to grow without a complete family and I only care about that nothing else. I was too selfish, I didn’t think that my time, effort and love for her was still important.

I am almost going to die at that day. That not so faithful day, I am running late to my office and she insisted on giving me a ride so that I won’t feel exhausted when I arrive at the office. Yes, even though I don’t like the idea of her giving me ride or showing her face in front of my co-workers.

I mean, she was not the girl I was dreaming to marry and showing off to the world. She didn’t check anything in my bucket list for the woman I dreamed to marry and have a kids with, but even though I make her felt like that. She never said anything, complain, and get mad, angry or even crazy. She served me, wait for me to come home, clean my room, and clean my clothes.

Like a normal wife would do to her husband except for cooking, she had a horrible cooking but I saw how hard she tried just to empress me and make me go home early to try it. And again I never did, to remember it now, I miss her horrible cooking. I miss how she reacts every time the oil keeps on splattering in her arm, I miss everything about her.

I was ready to cross the street when my folders drop on the road, it was the documents I needed to review that day that’s why all my mind and focus on putting everything back up from the folder. And everything flashes into my eyes in a split second. I am already on the side of the road and Aella my wife lying on the road covered with blood, her own blood and that split of second my unborn baby was gone because my wife risk her own life just to saved me.

“Sir Ms.Petrova is looking for you”- That hit me back from reality

“Let her come in”- I said and fix my messy desk

“But sir she didn’t have any appointment and someone is already waiting for a meeting with you”- She said to me and I totally forgotten about that

“Cancel that meeting and let Ms.Petrova enter my office, that’s an order”- I said to her and I waited for her

“But can I ask who is she? Why she is so important for you to cancel such an important meeting?”- I don’t like her asking about my personal life but I like how she works, I’ll give her one last chance.

“She is my wife. Let her come in and I don’t want to hear any complaint from you”- I said and she finally ended the call

“Thank you for considering this meeting without my early appointment. I was just so excited to tell you that we already have a progress about the investigation on the six accomplices on destroying my Dads’ hospital.”- She said with so much happiness in her eyes also how she reacts and how she said things to me

“Good thing they did it. You look extremely happy about that news. Want to celebrate?”- I suggested to her because it’s too seldom for me to see her like this

“No. Not today, but I am so happy. I could finally go back home after this, thank you so much for everything”- Then, it hits me. Everything I imagined to go back to its place like she become my wife again was purely imagination.

“Go back? You’re not staying here?”- I ask without even thinking

“Yes, I’ll go back home Adelio, everybody are waiting for me”- She said but she was not that excited like how she sound anymore

“Everybody except me”- I said and look on the other side of the room

“Stop being ridiculous Adelio, the both of us ended a long time ago. Thank you for your time, bye.”- She said sounded so disappointed and sad at the same time.

I really thought she will going to feel the same way like I feel, but maybe it won’t be too late for me, until she left, it won’t be too late until I tried all my best to bring her back in my life. To have her back in my life, and if that happens I won’t do the same way I did to her back in the years.
