The first day of new year gave us the biggest shock. It was 1st of January. I was having my breakfast with Stella. We were talking about going on a dinner soon. At that moment I received a phone call from a very close friend of mine.
It was my dear friend, Luke.
" Happy new year bro." I wished him cheerfully with my whole heart. My mood was good since the past few days. I was already going to call all my friends to wish them a happy new year, after the breakfast.
" Thanks man. Wish you the best for this year too." I got surprised to hear his voice. He didn't seem like drunk.
" You sound sober. That's unusual." Luke is the type of guy who would get drunk his ȧss off then on the next day he would nag about his hangover.
I have been witnessing this irritating drama for many years now. To tell you the truth, it's annoying like hell. It's even more annoying when I was there with him. Because of that very reason I stopped going to his parties. And even if I have to go there for his sake, I would leave soon.
" I have a good news."
" Good news? Hmm, let me guess. You probably won a fortune in the casino."
" No dude. I got married."
" What!" I yelled out in shock. This is totally unexpected. There is no way Luke would get married. I can't imagine him being settled with one woman. He has been fooling around for a long time. I don't remember if I have ever seen him in a serious relationship.
Then what's this sudden change of heart?
" Yeah man." He chuckles like fool.
" When did it happen?"
" Yesterday." Stella was staring at me with curiosity. Judging by my reaction she can tell that I'm having a really strange conversation.
" Can't believe it actually happened. So, who is it?"
" Regina."
" WHAT!" This time I shouted out frantically while getting up from my seat. It literally jolted my mind. I can't believe my own ears. What the hell just happened? What's going on?
" What did he say?" She couldn't stay quite. She asked me with a puzzled look on her face.
" Luke married Regina. Yesterday." I covered the phones speaker with my hand as I spoke to my wife.
" Oh." She didn't look surprised at all.
" What's with the 'oh'? Aren't you surprised to hear it?" Frowning at her words, I asked.
" Hello? Hello? Anybody there? Theo?" My phone wasn't on hold. I had to return back again to hear the whole thing.
" Yeah I'm back. Seriously dude, I never imagined that you and Regina would get married."
" Are you upset cause she's your ex?" One of the traits of Luke is, he can say anything bluntly. Even without showing any sort of emotion. It can be a bad and a good thing sometimes.
" What? No! I'm only surprised that you decided to get married so suddenly. It has nothing to do with Regina. Trust me bro. I'm happy that you finally decided to settle down." I couldn't feel calm after hearing his words. Because I don't want my friend to have any false impression on me.
My relationship with Regina ended a long time ago. I may have spent two years with her. Both mentally and physically. But none of us were able to connect our hearts with each other.
We were like the emotionless puppets being controlled by our minds. The reason we stuck around for such long time was our personalities.
After I realised my feeling for Stella I knew what love really is.
" Yeah..... I was gonna tell you guys to be there, then everything just happened. That's why I called you. If you're free tonight, let's go on a dinner. All four of us. I have so many things to say and it'll be best if we talk face to face. By the way the double date was Regina's idea." Luke's reaction is very common. But I knew he had a lot of thing pulled up inside his head. I wasn't able to meet up with him for a while.
But who could have thought that he was going to take a serious step.
" Okay man. See you tonight."
" Bye. I'll text you the location." He ended the call. I kept my phone and found my wife gazing at me, waiting for some answers. But how come she's so calm? She probably have an idea about what happened.
" Okay, seriously. Why are you so calm? You don't even look surprised at all."
" Well, I kind of had a hunch that it'll happen soon. But of course it happened way sooner than I had anticipated."
" Regina.... How could I forget that you guys are buddies." The answer was so obvious. I should have thought it on the first place.
Regina and Stella have became good friends. A chatty jolly person like Stella can spark up conversations with anyone. Literally anyone. So, she pretty much had an idea after hearing to Regina's words.
After we got married Stella has been talking with my mom frequently which I'm thankful for. Me being the son, I kept on avoiding them— my parents. The work is what keeps me busy day and night. But that shouldn't be my main priority.
Money is important but not more important than your loved ones.
" So, what did Luke say?"
" He invited us to a double date tonight."
" Good, then let's go buy the present." She said smiling cheerful at me.
" Present?" Raising my eyebrow I asked with a confused look.
" Oh come on! You are going to meet your newly wedded friends without any gift?"
" Then just buy a pack of ċȯndȯm." I suggested her.
" For god sake! Theo!" She yelled at me in a disgusting manner.
" But he did the same with me. You can ask him if you want." I told her with a 'very Obvious' face.
" Regina is my friend and I'll buy gift for her. You can come with me if you want or just do whatever you like." Clenching her jaw, Stella grumbled at me.
Uh- oh .... did I made her mad?
Shit! Shit! Shit!
Damn you Luke and Regina!
You guys are happily enjoying your marriage and I'm getting into fights with my wife because of you two.
Curse you!
" Awww! Don't be mad at me, honey." Pressing my lips on her soft rosy cheeks, I applied some gentle force while kissing her to my heart's content. " I love you, honey. I'll do anything for you. Just tell me where you wanna go, okay?"
" Fine." Thank god she calmed down.
Angry wife can be a hard one to please. Even though she loves you, she will not forgive you easily. You have try harder to overcome her rage.
This I swore to myself that I have to become the slave of her love to keep this happily prosperous marriage.
The life of a slave can be amazing indeed if the master is such an angel.
