Yesterday my brother-in-law came to visit us and even though there was some awkward situations which were unpleasant, everything went well. Neil left without eating breakfast. It was only me and Stella sitting on the table. I dig into my food while reading the newspaper. In the mean time Stella had already finished her food. She got up from her chair and started to walk away from dining room. I thought she's gonna bring something from kitchen but she walked into the hallway direction.
" Where are you going?" I asked, placing the newspaper on the table.
" To my room. I'll be back." She walked around the stairs with her slim legs. I waited for her arrival while eating my breakfast. After a few minutes she came back holding a box in her hand. It wasn't a big box still I couldn't decide what was inside it.
" What's this?" Raising my eyebrows upward I asked her.
" It's a gift for you. Here open it." She handed me the box and I opened it up. It was a pen with a very elegant looking appearance. The jet black colour had a glossy finish with a gold lining. It was indeed good and quite expensive.
" This is so beautiful, I really loved it. But why did spend your money buying me a gift? It must have costed you a lot." I sincerely told her.
" Remember you bought me those dresses on our trip? I also wanted to buy you something with my money and with my salary I wouldn't be able to get something expensive that you'll like. So I thought I should gift you a pen since you'll need it often." I noticed how much effort she had put into it. I was happy in the first place that she gave me something but knowing how much thoughts she had put into it made me more overwhelmed.
" I would be happy with anything given by you. It doesn't have to be expensive."
" True. But I have never seen Mr. Theo using something that is not branded or made by designer." She mocked me with her sarcasm. I liked how she emphasised my name to taunt at me.
" Well that's also true. Anyway what did your brother asked from you?"
" He literally robbed me since it's my first pay. I bought him a pair of Nike sneaker and they were super expensive." Stella sighed and greeted her teeth. Seems like her brother got a good haul yesterday.
" Aww! Don't be sad. He was just so excited and happy that his big sister is buying him something with her first earning money." I tried to cheer her up.
" I'm not really mad at him. When he was a kid, he used to ask me to buy him stuffs. That time I used the money given by my parents since I don't really spend it that much. But now that I'm earning I was able to buy something with my own money. My parents still don't know about me working. Or else I would have got something for them. Since it's only you and my brother who supported me, you guys deserves this."
" I am honoured." I bowed down my head, keeping my left hand on my ċhėst. My breakfast was finished by the time. But we were still talking.
" Umm and also I'm sorry for what my brother did yesterday, I mean he's kinda dumb so please forgive him on my behalf." Her voice sounded bit hesitant as she apologised on behalf of her little brother.
" It's fine, really. I didn't mind at all but apparently I do have some problems recently." It was true that lately I have been trying to avoid Regina. Yesterday was on another level. I never rejected anyone or turned down having sėx with them as far I can remember. But I felt really annoyed and irritated that time. Maybe I should ask Stella. She's a girl and she also knows Regina. So I can get a solution from her.
" What type of problems? You can tell me if you want." She eagerly replied back.
" Actually thing is, Regina is really upset with me I mean she's acting weird. I have no idea how to fix that." I sighed and face palmed myself. I do wanted to ask her about my recent behaviour but somehow the words didn't came out from my mouth.
" You can take her to a fancy dinner, give her a flower bouquet, go on a long drive that will help you out for sure." Her suggestion sounds plain and simple.
" You think so?"
" Yeah, I mean I would be very pleased if someone did them to me."
" Jesus! You're so easy to please." I laughed off hearing her statement.
" Happiness is every where, you just have to find it." Her lips tuned into a bright smile as she looked at me.
" Fine then. I'll try them out."
I like how simple and modest she is. She can find happiness in small things. That's the best thing about her. I left for my office although it was late. When I entered my office John rushed inside holding the project files.
Alas! My few moments of happiness is over now. I began to do my work and finished it by the time. I thought about calling Regina to meet up with her. But I really didn't felt like seeing her. I had no idea why I'm acting this way.
I can't even ask Luke since he doesn't knows about the whole thing. If I let it go like this things will be more complicated between me and Regina. Our relationship is almost two year old and we never really faced this type of situation. Since we have so much in common we would agree on one thing. In fact we never had a fight in all this years.We can easily understand each other.
But is this all enough to make me happy?
I was not serious about marriage but now I'm not even maintaining our relationship properly. This is a big issue. I should meet up with her and talk this through.
But sadly I didn't met her up that day. Luke called me later and told me his dad was admitted to hospital. I went there after receiving the information. His dad had a minor heart problem and since he was admitted there in the right time everything went well.
Just like that one week had past and I still didn't encounter with Regina. In fact I didn't even called her or texted her in that time. At this moment I felt like a bad person who's playing with someone's feelings. I couldn't endure the guilt any longer and I finally decided to meet up with her.
I had already booked us a table in her favourite restaurant. I told her that I would pick her up but she denied. Instead she will come here by herself. I was there on the time and sat by myself looking at the window.
As I was taking sip of the wine from my glass Regina walked in and sat opposite me.
" Hey." I gently greeted her.
" What did you wanna talk?" She replied me with annoyance. I gave her the bouquet of red roses.
" Here this is for you."
" Is this your way of asking for apology?" This time her voice sounded angry.
" No I thought you'd like it." I was calm and tensed also. It was like walking on a field with lots of traps in it. You never know when you'll get caught by one.
" Huh! Like you ever cared about my likes and dislikes before."
" What do you mean by that?"
" What I mean is crystal clear. You don't want to continue this relationship at all." She spat out with rage.
" I never said this even for a once. How could you say it bluntly?" I felt insulted as she put the blame directly on me. Yes she was angry with me but that was not the reason to make this judgement without any specific cause.
" Of course I can! Your behaviour tells everything."
