37.How dare you?

I have become restless since I have met Jade who had claimed Shaub as her son and who is also Luimon's mom. The whole day I was trying to figure out what their relation was but came up with nothing. And talking about her facial feature, she has same deep ocean blue eyes as Shaub with blonde hair but Luim has green eyes with black hair. Then who is the real son of her and why Shaub ignored her instead of greeting his mom if he was her real son.

Maybe they are brothers?

Ugh! I couldn't predict everything when I do not know anything about his life and he had never told me anything. But he had told me that his father had died when he was little and about his mother, he hardly talks or even mention her. I have met with Nicho, Nessy, Rachel and Lenard but they too have never mentioned about his mother. In his mansion too I haven't seen any pictures of his mother, all were of his father's or grandfathers.

And most importantly when my mom had told him to call her mom, I have noticed that he was quite nervous to voiced it out and whenever mom would show motherly affection towards him, he would be so happy like a child who was deprived of such affection. Only my mom could bring his real personality otherwise he would go back to his jerk face which made me dislike him to fullest.

I so wanted to ask him about his past but whenever I wanted to question him, I would see him smiling and then I would stop myself from asking him as not to spoil his wonderful mood. I do not know what has happened to him but this days he has been treating me nicely and the mocking has ended.

When Nicho had called me to ask about Shaub and me, I had tell him that he was taking me out to dinner and lunch which had made me amazed at how he can be a gentleman and Nicho told me that he wasn't arrogant and rude like he showed up but something happened in past which made him to act like a jerk. I so wanted to ask him more about his so called past but refrain myself as he would be suspicious of our marriage thing.

"Choco! Syong told me that you have stolen his favourite t-shirt which I have bought him." Bell yelled at me which broke my trance and I looked up at her.

"Umm..yeah. I asked him nicely but he didn't give away so I have taken when he couldn't see me and you didn't bought one for me." I said in a bored tone holding the cup of coffee.

"I don't know that you like men things . And what are you thinking so deeply?" Bell raised a eyebrow at me and sipped her coffee while waiting for me to speak.

"Huh. It's nothing and have you hear from Luim?" I tried to divert the question sipping my own coffee.

"I just know that his father is in I.C.U so he couldn't come and don't divert the question. Tell me what's bugging you? Tell your bff choco, I might help you." Bell gave a puppy eyes which made me open my mouth.

"It's about Shaub. He..." Bell whistle stop me from talking further.

"Oho! You were thinking about your hubby. Did he kiss you? Or you too have done the deed? Don't tell me..." Bell was babbling without caring of her surroundings and other were glancing our way as the cafe was crowded.

"Shut your mouth Bell and it's not what I was thinking about?" I shot a glare at her which made her sit properly on the chair.

"Alright, alright. I will zip my mouth and speak after you finished." She closed her mouth and gestured me to speak.

"It's about Shaub and his past. I don't want to interfere in his life but certain circumstances made me to know about it and now I don't know who could help me to know more about it. I had wanted to ask him myself but whenever I tried something stop me and I...I don't know whether to dig it or not." I pouted looking at Bell who was listening to me attentively.

"It's simple choco. You should try to know more about it and if you couldn't ask him then you can ask someone close to him." Bell said in a duh tone.

"Someone close to him?!" I made a mental list of people associated with Shaub and came up with a name.

"Len! He could help me." I said with a small grin plastered on my lips.

"Len? How will he help?" Bell asked with a confused face.

"He is his best friend so he might know about it and he was his friend since diapers. So thanks Bell for the advice." I stand to give a hug and she responded while patting my back.

"Ok. Then when you are you gonna meet him?" Bell asked once the waiter took our empty cup and we stand to get out of the cafe.

"Soon and now I need to get home. Bye see ya." With a last hug I bid goodbye to her and hopped on the car driving to the mansion.

When I entered my room I call Luim asking him how was his dad doing and if everything was okay and he told me that his health has slightly improved and it was the reason due to which his mom and him needed to left me alone during lunch two weeks ago. And I told him that he did not need to worry about me and he should be there for his family and also to give my regards to his mom. Then I ended the call and drifted to sleep not before telling Lia that I won't have a dinner.

The next few days I spend most of the time in the hospital with patient and talking about the plan to talk with Len about Shaub's past life, my mind was having constant battle with interfering his life and trying to find something which he wouldn't want to share.

I did not want to know but seeing him sad and some kind of pain in that deep ocean blues eyes which were so mesmerizing, made me to know what has made him like this and if I could help then it would be great. So, after thinking and thinking I call Len asking to meet and he was okay with it and told me to meet at his hotel.

"Hello! Shalifa. It's nice to see you." Len greeted me and engulfed me in a hug which I return instantly.

"Hi! And it's same for me. I don't know that you own this beautiful hotel." I said looking around the crafted walls with pure adoration.

"It's one of the hotels I own and let's take a sit before we chitchat." Len lead the way and we sat at the table near the pool with a little bit of privacy.

"Thank you." I said when I seated on the chair he had pulled and with a small welcome he too take sat down in front of me.

"So what do you want to order?" He said gesturing me to look at the menu and he too do the same.

"Okay now what do you want to ask about Shaub?" Len said after we have given our order and the waiter had left.

"Huh. How you know I'm here to ask about Shaub?" I haven't told him and he could read mind?

"I can't read mind but I know you're here to ask about him. It's kind of instinct and tell me if I'm wrong?" Len raised a eye brow at me and I shake my head with a no.

"When you told me that you have seen a hidden door in his mansion and he shouted at you like a mad man then I know that you will come soon to ask me about him and sorry to say this but I was stunt when he didn't kick you out the instant as he didn't tolerate anyone who interfere his privacy. And I know that I was right about you." Then a waiter came with our food and when the waiter left Len again continued not letting me say a word.

"Knowing Shaub and his temper, I don't want to tell you about his past but I can say that he hate his mom so much that whenever someone ask him about her, he become someone different and can't control himself. I don't know clearly what she had done but I know that they have some sort of misunderstandings which she wanted to clear but Shaub doesn't want to listen a word nor see her that he had become cold hearted to the world." Len stopped talking, chew his meat and then we eat in silence with me processing the things he had just said.

"Thank you Len for the meal. I have a great time." I said in a pleased voice when we're at the front door and Len asked for my mobile. He typed a number and saved it as Jade.

Then I return to the mansion and couldn't decide whether to call her or not. At last I didn't call her as the confirmation of her as his mother was enough for the day and I was tired of battling with my mind. And the following day I was appointed to the emergency room and was busy with the emergency patient that I forgot about Shaub and his mom.

After a week on the weekend, I was alone at the mansion and Lia was out doing grocery shopping and I hadn't heard from Shaub since morning, so I got to explore the mansion. I tried to remember about the hidden door pathway but I couldn't remember a bit of it so I walked around randomly where my leg takes me and then once again I ended up in the same hallway which I recognize when I saw my earring which I have on Nicho's birthday which was lost that day lying on the floor. I picked it up and examine to find it the same earring I thought to have lost and taking slow step ahead I was about to walk further when a pissed voice stop me.

"What are you doing here?" Shaub pissed voiced echo in the hallway which made me to turn around to look at his angry face.

I tried to come up with some excuse or something which will made him cool down but nothing came to my mind. I was embarrassed to say that I was spying on his things and wanted to explore the hidden door. So I looked down when he advanced towards me with a clenched fist and waited for something hard or harsh contact me but a familiar voiced stop him.

"Shaub! Let her go." Jade voiced came from the other end which made Shaub to turn around to look at her.

"Who let you enter here? And Why are interfering in my matters?" Shaub shouted at her which made me to flinch.

"I'm here to talk with you. I have tried to approach you before but you always send me away. But now I will go back only after I talk with you." Jade said in a firm voice and her face soften when she saw me.

"How dare you? You have no right to come to talk to me." Shaub said harshly with a venomous glare at Jade.

"Don't forget that I'm your mother?" Jade screamed raising her voice with a harsh glare.

For a while they kept giving hard glare to each other and there was a dangerous silence lingering around the hallway. I wanted to get out from there but seeing them rooted to the same position I too kept quite while biting my lips and pray that the ground would open up for me to take me away form the awkward moment. And then a loud bang sounded which almost made my eyes to pop out of the socket and it scared me to death.

Also, Shaub seems to be pissed more than I could imagined!
