Chapter 6

1034 Words
My stomach made an irking sound for the nth this hour. I get up from laying uncomfortably on this supposedly comfy bed. I should be sleeping peacefully now but my very much hungry stomach won't even let me take a nap. I sauntered towards the mini fridge. I breathe exasperatedly and grab another bottle of water from there. It's my third bottle of water tonight and even if I drown myself with it, it wouldn't be enough to suffice my untamed hunger. I shut my eyes. I hold the water bottle hard and then throw it somewhere. After a fleeting seconds, I heard a crashing sound. My eyes quickly checked the direction where the noise came from. I covered my mouth automatically and started to panic after I saw that the bottle hits an expensive looking painting. The said painting fell off the ground and gets broken. "What the f**k, Ibixa." I look around. I gulp simultaneously before I crawl to the spot where it fell and starts picking up the broken glasses of its frame. The door opened violently. With a gray pajama and white shirt on, Ender showed himself. "Ouch." I let go of the broken glass' piece after I felt a spang of pain in my hands. A red fluid followed. I bit my lower lip and utter curses under my breathe. Endeavor rushed to my side. He snatch my bleeding hand that I tried to take away from him but failed. He stares at the mess on the floor. He clenched his jaw while I, on the other hands started to sew made up story inside of my head to defend myself if he ever asks what happened here. And the painting. What am I gonna told him about that? An earthquake occured here earlier that's why it fell? In my head, I already slap myself. He's not gonna believe that. Even a toddler won't. "What are you doing? You should be asleep." I took my hand from him again and closes it immediately after I succeeded. I felt another flickered of pain because of it. I silently mimic him. His thick and well-shaped eyebrow lifts. I play with my tongue and then smiles mockingly. "How can I? I'm starving, Ender." I eyed the drawer near him. I think I saw a first aid kit there earlier. I'll treat this damn wound after he leaves. "Even if you cry a river, you won't have your dinner tonight. I give punishment to those who defy me and my commands. You're my wife but you're not an exception, Ibixa." I swallowed hard. I clutch on my stomach again after I felt it grow. I looked away to hide my tears. I moved my head bitterly, accepting the fact that he's a plain jerk and a monster. Heartless! "I hate you," I whispered. Ender lifted my chin. My heart stops breathing and my system shut down as he leans closer to me and kisses my cheek. "I know, sweetheart. I know," he murmur near my ears. The sun is starting to make everyone see and feel his presence but I haven't had a good sleep yet. My finger traces the cut in my left palm. Aside from the fact that I didn't get to sleep, this cut is an evidence that whatever happens last night isn't a dream. I did broke the painting. Ender came here last night and he kissed me on my cheeks. "Good Morning, Mrs. Mendeleev," Hedero greeted me with a sunshine on her lift that almost fade as she realize that I look so restless now. She didn't say anything thou. She walks to the french window and sweep the see-through fabric of the curtain to the side, revealing the sun. My eyes adjusted on the light of sun that covers my room entirely. She brought back her gaze at me. "Where do you want to have your breakfast? In the garden or here?" I snatches the robe from the rack and wear it as a new layer of fabric against my body. Using a ponytail that I found in one of the drawer in my dresser, I tied my hair. Meanwhile, Hedero waited patiently for my answer. I was about to say that I wanna have my breakfast in the garden that I haven't seen yet but then I remember Ender. He might be having his breakfast too. I shook my head to disagree in my own idea. "Mrs. Mendeleev, are you okay?" "Yes." The corner of my lip stretches. "I'd like to have my breakfast here instead. I don't want to see him." She stopped herself from walking away. "If you're trying to avoid Mr. Mendeleev, he already left for California before the sun shine," she said. I look back at her, puzzled. He did? He stayed here for quite sometime yet he didn't say anything about leaving. "Ohh." She raises her forefinger and gets back at me. She took a black iphone from the pocket of her apron and handed it to me. I stare at it blankly. I'm not even allowed to use this to contact my parents so what is the purpose of this? Nonethless, I accepted it. I heard the door closes. My deadpan eyes checked every application installed on the phone and neither one of them is something I can use to entertain myself. I continued swiping until I accidentally pressed note and saw my name on it. It got my full attention. I seated myself on the cream-coloured couch. "Ibixa, use this to communicate with me, only me, understood? Also, make sure that you'll tell me your whereabouts." I groaned and throw the phone on the bed. Could he get bossier that this? My mind already know how demanding he's that even his voices in my head sounds terrifying! The iphone suddenly ring. Ender's name flashes. I thought he already left for California? How come he's calling me? If I remember it correctly, passengers are not allowed to use their mobile phones while on board. "Hello?" "Go eat your breakfast now, baby." The line went dead. Okay, that's the weirdest phone call that I received! Ender is a hella weird man.
