A week later, Laura had just returned from the mall that Saturday morning. A national holiday was observed that day and that's why she hadn't gone to work and same with every worker in the country. She slumped on the sofa when she rolled her eyes to the door. The living room was quiet and she wondered where her mother could be at the moment. Feran had already left in the morning without clearly telling her where he was off to.Some few minutes later, Laura heard the doorbell rang and stood up then walked to the door. "Good afternoon, Ms Laura Miguel," A delivery guy in a recognized uniform said the minute Laura opened the door. "Good afternoon,how may I help you?" Laura inquired."I've got a package for you," the guy said and held up a small wrapped box. "Oh." Laura took it after signing and went back into the house. She unwrapped the box and hissed when she saw an invitation card inside."Gosh,I thought there was something nice in this box. Just an unneeded card," Laura mumbled to
Feran was greatly stunned by Laura's reaction. He never in his greatest imagination imagined that Laura would flare up by the simple question he had asked, wishing not to offend her. But thinking it over again, he considered himself to be blamed. "I could have just let her go in and freshen up instead of bombarding her with unimportant questions. I guess she felt irritated by the questions due to stress she had accumulated at the party," Feran said to himself and he thought it would be best to go into the room and sought an opportunity to apologize. When he walked into the room, he met Laura seated on the bed, taking off her shoes. She glanced at him and took off her ornaments. "L…Laura, I am…" Feran attempted to apologize but Laura ignored him and headed to the bathroom after grabbing her nightwear from the closet. He felt he deserved the attitude she was giving so he decided to wait for her. Laura walked out of the bathroom, clad in her nightgown and as before, Feran tried to a
Feran couldn't believe what the manager told him. So he asked the manager again in bewilderment. "M…my father's plan?" "Yes, sir. He said it was a plan to help you wake up from your slumber," the manager said reluctantly,nor wishing to offend Feran with his words in any way. "My slumber?" "Yes. And, I'm sorry but I had to prepare those documents and had it delivered to Laura because he ordered me to. I couldn't inform you sooner, sir. I'm sorry about that," the manager apologized. "It's okay," Feran simply said and hung up. He waited for a while for Laura to come out from the bathroom before heading out to get her dinner. "Hey, what happened to my precious daughter, Feran?" Mitchel asked when age walked into the kitchen and met him dishing out some food for Laura. "Nothing, mother. Laura just got stressed about work issues," Feran said. " 'Work issues?' What sort of issues?" Mitchel asked. Frank walked up to her from the dining room. "So this is where my dear wife is? Are you
Laura walked into her office and collapsed on her seat. She hung down her head, trying to forget a that had happened in the meeting at the conference room. She heard a knock on the door and lifted up her head to see her father, Frank walked in with a smile. "Hey, madam. What's with the sas expression on my daughter's face?" Frank asked, humorously as he walked up to her desk. "Dad, I'm fine," Laura simply said, tucking her hair in the back of her ears. Frank gave her a doubtful look. "Father, believe me, I'm certainly okay," Laura said, trying to make her father believe her instead of worrying about her. "Okay, then. I hope you don't think much about everything and just forget what your sisters, brothers and infact what every single person uttered in the conference room. Forget about it all, Laura," Frank said. Laura faked a smile and nodded. "Okay. I'm going back to my working place. See you later at home, dear," Frank said and waved at Laura then headed to the door. He pulled the
Feran stumbled upon hearing what Laura said. He was stunned to know that Laura could say she would think about divorcing him. He couldn't really believe what he had heard her say. Taking a few steps back as the was pulled open from the inside, his mother-in-law walked out and he fixed his gaze on the floor. "Were you eavesdropping on us?" Mitchel asked, suspecting Feran was by the way he acted and the shock expression he had on his face and was trying to hide from her. Feran gazed up at her and looked away without answering her question. With that, Mitchel confirmed that he must have likely overheard their discussion and maybe heard what Laura said too. To see him in a kind of strike dumb state made Mitchel inwardly happy but she went further to ask him a question to upset him more. "Did you hear what Laura said, then, Feran?" Feran flicked at his mother-in-law a stare and shook his head. Mitchel knew he was lying and smirked. "You're nothing, Feran. And you mean absolutely nothin
When Laura got home, she went straight to her room but was surprised to see the room out of light when she opened the door. She wondered why there was light in the house apart from the room. She groped with her hand against the wall in search of the light switch and heaved a light sigh when she felt the switch. Sve flicked it on and was thrown off balance when Feran held up a cute little teddy bear in front of her face. "Feran, what the…" Laura paused as she read the inscription on the frontal of the teddy bear and she read it out: " 'I am sorry?' " Feran nodded with a pout like an innocent child that had wronged his mother. "What's all this, Feran?" Laura asked, folding her hands and rolling her eyes to the bed. "I'm truly sorry, Laura," Feran uttered. Laura squinted and tucked her hair behind her ear. "Sorry about what now, Feran?" Laura asked. "For upsetting you last night and I am sorry about the other ways which you think I've offended you," Feran said. " 'Other ways?'
When Laura walked into her office, grinning from ear to ear because of the two days leave she had bagged, she got a call from Lucas."Hello, Laura. Good morning," Lucas' voice boomed through the phone. "Good morning, Lucas, I'm doing good," Laura said, honestly."Woa, I can sense that from the joy in your voice. I guess someone woke up at the right side of the bed, hm," Lucas said.Laura laughed and took her seat."Well, I'm happy and you're responsible for that. Thanks for what you did, Lucas," Laura appreciated. Lucas was a bit surprised when she thanked him because he had no idea why she was thanking him. He didn't know what Mark had told and offered to Laura. He had only decided to call Mark this morning and promised to recommend him to a well-known business tycoon in return for a favor which was that he persuades Laura to go out with him this Saturday and Mark had accepted to do that happily.So, Lucas didn't bother to ask Laura why she had thanked him or what he had done for he
Not bothering to cast a glance at the man who asked Laura a question, Lucas brought down his gaze to Laura and saw the great shock in her eyes. He looked the other side and his gaze met with Feran's."Do you know him, Laura?" Lucas asked in a strange manner, still staring at Feran.Laura woke up from her trance and looked around to see some people in the store and a bit far away from the counter watching them. She couldn't bring herself to answer Lucas' question."Excuse me? Who are you? And I should rather ask you this. Do you know who she is to me?" Feran asked with anger.Lucas chuckled and gave him a displeasing look."I don't care about you," Lucas uttered to Feran's surprise. "I only care about my lady," he added and Feran narrowed his eyes and stared in bewilderment at Laura who was now standing behind Lucas, trying to avoid his gaze."Your what? She is who to you?" Feran asked."Are you deaf? She's my lady. She's someone special to me!" Lucas yelled to Laura's great surprise n
