Chapter 39
The Contract Marriage (Complete)
Ryouma's P.O.V
I don't know why but I'm having a bad feeling and the reason of course is my wife whom I haven't seen since the moment I woke up. I thought I will mend things with her but she's nowhere to be found. Suddenly I heard her voice and rushed down and saw her setting the breakfast table with my mother. Well that's weird she actually woke up early in the morning and helped my mother preparing breakfast? Did sun rise from west today?
Our eyes met and I smiled but she looked at me like she was stabbing me in her mind with thousands of knives and looked away.
"What the hell did I do?" I muttered.
"Take your seat, son." My mother signed me.
I took my seat but my plate was snatched just when I was about to take the sandwich from the plate.
"Get your own breakfast it's mine." My wife gave me an ice freezing cold glare.
"Oh okay." was the only thing I could say. What the hell was that? I mean even if she is angry, I've never seen her cold and scary. If she's angry her eyes blazes fire but today it looks like its winter on her anger land, freezing deadly winter. And I am sure it has something to do with me because I noticed that her coldness is only towards me as she was brightly smiling to my mom and dad. But the thing is I don't remember doing anything that would drive her this crazy or maybe I did?but what?
"I'm done. Bye mom, bye dad." She smiled at them.
"Wait, I'll drop you." I held her hand.
She glared at me and I immediately leave her.
"I mean we're going to the same place, we can... umm.... go together." I stammered.
"Really? But you're not even ready and I'm getting late so no thank you, I can go on my own." Her voice was as cold as winter snows that I found myself shiver a little.
"That's rare of you getting late." Commented dad.
"Well he must have been dreaming sweet dreams that he didn't want to wake up at all. In fact he must be cursing the morning for waking him up right, husband?" She stormed out.
What is she going on about?
Even my mom, dad noticed something off with her and they both glared at me demanding to know what the hell did I do this time? Well that's exactly I want to know too. I just stared at a blank space trying to figure out.
Office
"Sir... Excuse me." I found my secretary waving her hands in front of my face bringing me from my deep thoughts back to reality.
"Yes."
"This is the file you asked for and..." She continued.
Just what did I do to make her this angry? I thought.
Just then I noticed my wife and her dear Ren, chatting happily. Wow! She"s giving me death glares since morning and with him she's smiling like an idiot.
"Sir?" My view was blocked by my secretary's hand which she was waving in front of my face.
"What the hell is your problem? Can't you mind your own business?" I lost my temper and shouted.
"But..."
"Get out!"
"I'm sorr..."
"Just get the hell out of here." I stood up and banged the desk.
"I'm sorry." She rushed out.
I sat back and opened my laptop but it won't open.
"The hell! Seriously why're everybody/everything messing with me today?" I threw the laptop.
"And why is my table in such a mess!" I shouted with frustration, throwing every single thing from my table.
"Okay, so this is what scaring your office staffs. My best friend is creating havoc here." Entered my best friend I don't even know his presence would help me with my anger or multiply it.
"Don't. Just do not mess with me right now. Leave me alone."
"Let me guess your wife.."
I glared at him.
"Oh so I'm right. If she affects you and your work so drastically then why do you always fight with her? Tell me what did you do this time?" He asked crossing his arms in front of his chest.
"That's exactly what I'm trying to figure out, but I've got no luck. I don't even know what I did or what I didn't. Last night everything was fine, she was at least talking to me but I don't know what the hell happened overnight that she's piercing me with her cold glares. Now I don't know what to do!" I ranted.
"hahaha"
"What's so funny?" I want to murder him seriously. Here I am going mad with anger and this guy who calls himself as my best friend is laughing at me!
"Never thought I'll get you see worry over a girl to such an extent that would destroy your peace and you can't even work. I mean Ryouma the great workaholic can't work. Pftt." He continued to laugh.
"Rihito, before I forget that you are my best friend and murder you right here, get out." I warned him.
Third person's P.O.V
"Are you sure you want to kick me out? I thought my friend needs my help." Rihito teased his friend.
"Really? And I think you don't want to help but just laugh at my misery, isn't it?" Ryouma glared at him.
"Ryouma how can you think of me like that? you broke my heart today, my heart hurts." Rihito placed his hands on his chest and shed some crocodile tears.
"You actually have a death wish don't you?" Ryouma fisted his palm.
"But I am glad you know me so well. You found my intentions, that's why you're my best friend. I love you bro." Rihito hugged Ryouma.
Ryouma sat on the chair with his hands on his head trying to suppress his laugh, figuring out whether he should laugh or just kill him.
Suddenly someone entered banging the door. The boys looked at the door to be greeted by Ryouma's wife who seemed angrier than ever, followed by her best friend who was trying to calm her down.
Now what? thought Ryouma.
"How dare you make her cry?" his wife shouted.
"Whom are you talking about?"
"Miya, ofcourse. What did you say to her that she won't stop crying?"
"Who is Miya?"
"Are you trying to pull a joke? Let me tell you failed miserably. She's your damn secretary!"
"Oh"
"Don't "oh" me. Just what did you say to her?"
"She was bothering me so I just told her to get out. If she's crying because of that it's her problem not mine."
"Oh there you go. I know how exactly you treat your secretaries because I've been one. Forget secretaries, you don't even know how to treat your mom and your wife."
"Okay now where is this topic coming from?"
"It never went anywhere, it was always there."
"I get it that you're mad for some reason god knows what but that doesn't mean...."
"Forget it. I don't even want to see your face so just go and apologies to her and end this matter."
"I won't."
"You seriously don't want to mess with me right now."
"Really? Fine if you're going to get mad at me for no reason then I'll give you a reason, I won't apologies."
"Fine then! Didn't even expect you to, cause you're just a heartless jerk."
"Heartless? Here I was worrying over the fact that I did something to make you angry but I forgot that you are Teresa and you don't need a reason to fight." Ryouma accused her.
"I fight without a reason? It's you who messes with me every single time." she retorted.
"Really? Then can you be kind enough to tell me what did I do this time? Cause I've already got a headache trying to figure out what?"
"Wow this time at least you agree you did something and I don't get mad for no reason."
"Okay. So what do you want me to do to end our fight? Let's do this you win, I lose and I am very very sorry for whatever I did. Now I even apologized, happy?"
"Excuse me you're acting as if you've done a great thing apologizing? I don't want your meaningless sorry. You don't even know what you're sorry about."
"That's exactly what I'm telling you. So please tell me what I did? You can at least tell me what I did right? Or you expect me to get inside your head to figure that out?"
While the couple were busy fight their best friends held their head, already tired of their everyday's fight but this time they both knew it wasn't there usual day to day fight.
"Umm guys? Is everything okay?" Sam and Sara entered.
Seeing Sara was enough to get Teresa crazy again.
"Oh sorry, you two must have missed each other. I think we should leave. Talk as much as you want." Teresa took Rina's hand and was about to leave when Sara held her hand.
"What's wrong? Are you okay?"
"That's none of your business." Teresa walked out of the room jerking Sara's hands off her whereas the other four just blankly stared at each other shocked at her behaviour.
When they reached Teresa's cabin Rina looked at her best friend and demanded an answer for her weird behaviour.
"Care explaining what are you so mad about?" Rina enquired. "And don't you dare tell me it's nothing cause my dear bff you can't hide anything from me so don't even try to." She added.
"I know." Teresa said with tears in her eyes.
"I shouldn't have. Shit I need to apologize to Sara immediately. She has nothing to do with this. I need to go and apologize right?" She walked towards the door but Rina stopped her.
"And what is this thing you're talking about???"
"Sara is so sweet, she's been so good to me. She's become like a sister and I...." Teresa now started crying because of the guilt.
"Teresa you're driving me crazy now. Please stop crying and just tell me what the hell is going on, would you?"
"My husband is still in love with his ex-fiance Sara!" Teresa shouted.
