Michael got down from the car tiredly and sat on his wheelchair, it was very difficult for him to be walking and still be moving around in a wheelchair once he gets home, but if that is the price for him pay to have his beloved by his side, then he will gladly do it. Gary wheeled him inside and they were surprised when they saw the dinning table already occupied with food, what is happening? Michael thought before he saw Sasha walking out of the kitchen in an apron, she was carrying a plate of food and was surprised when she saw him but then, she offered him a smile he never expected to receive from her and his heart melted "you are back" she said.
Michael nodded softly, he still hasn't gotten a hold of what was happening "what are you doing?""I'm making dinner silly" she smiled "now go take a shower, I will be done before you are back. You too Gary, you can freshen up in the guest room."Gary was surprised but he still looked at Michael for a go ahead, when Michael noddedJanet entered Sasha's office later, "tell me all about it and leave nothing out" she said as she made herself comfortable in the chair opposite her.Sasha laughed "tell you what?" She feigned ignorance.Janet gave her an unbelievable look before rolling her eyes, she leaned forward then, not letting anything dampen her enthusiasm, "how did Michael react when he saw the dinner you made?""Well" Sasha stalled."Well?" Janet urged and she laughed."Michael and I... I don't even know what is happening between us now but what I do know is that we are a little bit closer than the way we have ever been."Janet closed her mouth as her eyes revealed how happy she was for her best friend, "I'm so happy for you. Did he lick his plate last night?""Ew, Janet" Sasha laughed "but with the look on his face, he enjoyed it. I never knew having a man eat the food you cook can be so heart satisfying.""It is if you love the man and you my dear, is hopelessly in love with him."
Michael couldn't hold back his smile when she did that, he can't believe she is the one pushing him now. He felt blissful and couldn't help but detect that there was love in the air.Gary opened the car door and Sasha helped Michael to enter the car before walking around the car to get in from the other side. They both sat in the car but rather than the air in the car to be filled with loneliness and coldness like it always use to when they were seated together in the car. It was rather hot and there was not enough space in the car to hide the love that was hovering in the air. Michael slowly grasped her hand in his and when she looked at him, he looked out the window, pretending not to know what he was doing.Sasha smiled secretly and tightened their hold while looking out the window too. Their hearts were fluttering in happiness and they were both blushing really hard. The car ride was silent but their loud beating hearts were not. Sasha turned to glance at him but he happen
Days passed with things getting better and better with Sasha and Michael, no more ignoring of each other and they were more like a married couple than strangers and they both wished it will never end. Vanessa was surprised and happy when she talked with Sasha and found out how things were turning out for them, she didn't see that coming and her joy was unexplainable as she listened to all of Sasha's stories. Janet and the girls were also happy, they all believed that Sasha deserves a chance to be happy and with the man of her dreams.Sasha ran down the stairs after Michael, she caught up to him getting into the car, "hey, I was wondering if you can come back a little early today?"Michael looked at her when he sat inside the car and Gary picked up his wheelchair to put inside the car trunk, "it's there a reason for that?""Yep, I want us to go for an evening stroll and then grab dinner before returning. How about that?""Okay" he replied.Sasha smiled, "good, have a g
Hours passed by without them knowing and it was only until their fingers started hurting as well as their backs and their tummies rumbling did they realize it was time for lunch. They both shut down their laptops and left the study room for the kitchen where they fixed a quick lunch for themselves.They sat in the living room after the lunch, each secretly enjoying the day off which they spends beside each other, oh, how they wish the moment will never end."So what game are we going to play?" Sasha asked."You choose.""Okay then" she sighed as she thought on what game to play, "how about Truth or Dare?" She suggested."Hmm, I have heard about the game, how does one play it?""What the hell, Michael!" She was shocked "didn't you go to parties in college? Didn't you play with friends?""I don't have friends and I never attended parties in college.""Then what did you do in college?""Attend lectures, go home, work, sleep, attend lectures the next day and r
The question was unexpected and Michael was silent for a while. Sasha held her breath as she waited for him to answer, her main reason of suggesting the game was because she wants to know what happened to the girl he loves, why they weren't together and she hoped he will answer.Michael let out a deep breath, "yes.""Oh, where is she?""She is married.""I see. Where you two ever together?"Michael bit his lower lips and sighed, "no.""What happened, she doesn't love you back?""She doesn't even know I love her" he chuckled faintly."Why didn't you ever tell her?""Well, I tried a lot of times but never succeeded. I always wait around if she is dating, waiting to know if they will break up, which they will end up doing but before I could say how I feel, she has gotten someone else and seeing how happy she is, I couldn't bear to ruin it for her.""Damn, what kind of a girl is she? How can she always find someone else before you can tell her how you feel?
One week later, Sasha walked out of the conference room with Janet, Agnes, Agatha and Marilyn. They were all pestering her to know how life with Michael has been judging by the fact that he picked her from work yesterday and as well as the constant smile that was always on her face. They followed her into her office and clustered around her desk while Sasha sat down, smiling as she looked at their faces one after the other "what do you girls want?""The hot juice, spill it out girl" Agatha urged and the rest nodded."Life has been good honestly" she smiled as she picked up her phone, she saw the time and immediately stood up "hey girls I'm sorry, we will continue this discussion some other time, I have to go now.""Where to?" Janet asked."I overheard Michael and Gary talking today. Michael will be going to the rehab to see his doctor and I want to surprise him by showing up. I have missed a lot of his sessions, but I don't want to anymore. After today I will ask him the
The lawyer arrived later in the evening with the already prepared papers for them. Sasha came down to meet them. Michael was still sitting on the couch while the lawyer was sitting in a sofa opposite him, Gary was standing beside Michael. The three men looked at Sasha when she arrived but she went straight and sat in the same couch with Michael. He glanced at her but her eyes was fixed on the lawyer "Mrs. Brown" he greeted."Where is it?" She asked directly.The lawyer looked at Michael and then back at her "are you sure you really want to do this ma'am?""Where is it?" Sasha demanded."Right here ma'am" he stood up and placed the divorce papers and a pen on the table. Sasha picked it up with the pen and sat back down. She flipped through the papers and input her signatures where necessary before placing the papers and pen back on the table.The lawyer glanced at Michael and he sighed before nodding at Gary who picked up the papers and brought to him. He handed him th
'My darling Sasha!'Sasha gulped when she saw the words, her heart missed a beat, her fingers shook. Her eyes locked on the three words, fourteen letters, darling Sasha? He...he...called her darling Sasha?There was no other letter nor word on the page again, she got her shaking fingers to turn the page and that was where she saw full page written in the handwriting of a twelve year old or thirteen. She took a deep breath and began reading."Dear grandma!Ever since your death, life hasn't been meaningful anymore. Mom is trying her best but it's not the same. I miss you, so much and I can't stop wishing for you to come back, even though mom said you are in a better place now.My birthday is next week and mom is planning a birthday party for me.
