121 Open Challenge

Life was back to normal and I was thankful for that. He started working from his office. I wasn't needed there so I was sitting in my bedroom. I should join back on my work. But I didn't know how I could just go back. I didn't care about them and neither did they. They might even call fair weather friends. I don't blame them they must know that I didn't entertain visitors at that point. But they could have called me and asked about my well-being. It was only manners.I heard a knock and instantly knew that it must be Fathima. She came inside with a cup of coffee. All I wanted to do was kiss her. She was indeed a good housekeeper."Thanks, Fathima", I told her."Why are you not going to your office?", she asked me. I almost spit my coffee by surprise."Why do you ask?", I managed to say."Because you don't look good sitting in your bedroom moping", she said without batting an eye."I thought you hated me going to work", I said."I only thought your work is making you sullen but now I r

122 Overboard

I came outside wearing the pearls that would fit the charity endeavor I'm running. The only compromise I have done was that I have swapped the heels with a comfortable shoes. I'm wearing sneakers so that I could run or even climb the wall if the security tried to tackle me. I was now having a staring contest with the security person. He got a phone call and he backed away. I resumed it with another guy who was now standing in my way."Here Mr Wellington wants to talk to you", said the security.The usual madam and respect was lost probably because of my attitude. I didn't mind it I would rather they treat me as an equal than some queen."I'm going no matter what you say. The only way you can stop me is to restrain me", I told him."Fine. You do what you want as always. But if something happens then you can kiss your chance of ever seeing the sky goodbye", he said. I knew it was a threat but I wasn't intimidated.I had let go of Enzo. He used to live in my head rent free all this time

123 The new chair person

"You must all check out the amazing response I'm getting", said Heidi but once she saw me her face lost the enthusiasm. "You are back", said she and went to sit next to Irene."Yes I'm. Congratulations by the way", I said to my sister. I thought she would show me a small percentage of the attention she gave me when she thought I would leave Dane. But with Dane paralysed she lost her interest in him and is dating some banker."Thanks Ziva. How is Dane?", she asked impersonally."He is doing good. He had rejoined his work as well. So I thought I should start mine", I told her."With Heidi being the new chair the organisation has started to be really interesting", said Irene."Really? So it hasn't got anything to do with your enmity with Ziva?", asked André casually."André no one wants to know what you think", hissed Irene."I have started a promotion in vogue. It is costly but it is definitely worth it", said she dreamily."We already had a promotion in vogue", I reminded her."Oh tha

124 Left out

"What is it? Is it about Dane?", she asked."No. It is about the organisation. What are you doing with it Heidi?", I asked."I'm trying to give it my best", she said haughtily."By paying out the precious funds?", I asked her."I'm not wasting money", she said irritated."You are that too on meaningless promotions", I said to her."You are jealous that you are not the face of the campaign anymore", she said."Heidi please let us talk like adults here. I'm not jealous. I'm concerned about your plans. We need the funds for the meals", I explained to her."I know the meals are important but so is the promotion. We need a lot of money now considering Dane is trying to get rid of it", said she."What?", I asked shocked."So you haven't heard about it. Thought you shared everything", she said with a smirk."Why would he do that?", I asked gutted. Why wasn't he talking to me about such things?"Because he is afraid that Enzo will shoot him again", said she with a shrug. I gasped when she sai

125 Broken promise

I love this life. I know it is cruel of me to confess it but I can't stop thinking about the fact that I have to go away from Dane whenyge gets better. That doesn't mean that I don't want him to be OK. I want what is best for him. I know he will walk soon since he had promised to attend the therapy sessions. It makes me smile what he did to me last night. He shows me heaven every time when we are together. But I would never forget last time. We made love like we had all the time in the world.I woke up early and saw my hubby was already up and went away. He is an early bird and one hardly forgets their routine. But I on the other hand wakes up really late and thankfully Fathima makes me coffee so I could chase away my Monday blues. But my husband hardly requires a coffee. He runs like a well oiled machine. I knew he was very keen on his morning runs. When he wakes up earlier than I could ever imagine. I knew he missed it. I hardly ever witnessed it happen. I only saw the proof of his

126 Fighting and making up

"Hey", I heard a voice from outside. I looked at the clock. He was an hour late. Normally our fights end within an hour and the make up sex would have started by now. But today I wasn't in the mood to give up. I want him to take my words seriously and jumping into the bed as soon as his head appeared in the door frame wouldn't send the right signal to him. Ignoring him would be deemed as too childish. So I gave him a look which should give him a warning to stay away or approach me with caution. But he didn't realise it or probably he doesn't even care. He wheeled towards me holding a plate."What is this?", I asked him."Fathima said you didn't eat anything and waited for me", he said with remorse."I wasn't hungry and I don't want any food right now", I told him with a frown."Well I cooked for you. So that you give me a chance to seek forgiveness for my callousness", he told me."Are you a good cook?", I asked doubtfully. I have never seen him wearing an apron. He made a decent coff

127 Inspiration

We were watching bachelor and spending quality time according to my husband. But in reality watching mindless TV is just a farce. We were waiting for the therapist to come home for his session which is going to be pretty regular in the future. He had promised it and intends to keep it hopefully. I know he is very much sceptical. But I wasn't not even for a moment. I know he is going to come out as a winner. He always had before. I knew there wasn't an award that he had been nominated to but did not win. It made me wonder was I unlucky to him.I remembered Ella making me sit out in the car because Heidi once lost a competition because of me. My father had agreed to that to my horror. I waited in the car in tears while Heidi performed and lost. So I got demoted from the car to my home permanently and I never got a chance to go out with them again. Not unless I was old enough to hold her bags and booze. Those disturbing dark days started peeking it's ugly head in my eyes. I should probab

128 Knight in shining armour

I watch my husband juggling his work, therapy and love life all for me. I feel guilty. I'm no longer interested in going to work which I fought with Dane so I could go. But I still go it was a habit now. But I see hardly anything gets done. The new chairperson who also happens to be Heidi is hyperfocused on the promotion of her social media. It is very sad to see my hard work going down the drain. However, I couldn't do anything because I wasn't the chairperson anymore. I knew my husband would have let me have it back but dealing with a cranky sister was not worth it. Besides I'm no longer the woman who has the iron will. The accident that happened to my husband changed me. I'm now a shell of a person. Even Charlie complains about it. She said I was a recluse earlier but I made a small effort to change it back then. Now she says all I speak about is Dane. I sleep with his name on my lips. I agree with her. But I won't do anything to change it.The worst thing that I see is watching m

129 Get together

The news was so good that we couldn't help ourselves but we called our friends home. Fathima was in her glory times. It had been a while since she had any kind of party. She even allowed alcohol to be served to the guests. That should say something. We were waiting for everyone to come. He insisted that it was ridiculous to hold a party over nothing. But it wasn't anything and he too was excited about meeting everyone. Once they reached everyone hugged each other. They were so happy that it felt as though things were now back to normal. I didn't call Ella or Heidi since I knew that it would end in a disaster. I had called Charlie but she was going away with Janine so she declined."I hope you enjoyed the time we stayed away", said Jake. He had been constantly travelling. He was now attending all meetings. Dane says the responsibilities had changed him completely."We did. But don't ask for any details", said Dane with a sigh."Dane son I knew you would walk again. This only cements my

130 Work life balance

currentlyrentlyrentlyectly at?", I said in shock. Though I heard her correctly I simply couldn't believe that her affections fluctuated at the speed of lightning."I realised that he was my True love", she said with a sigh."But you said you can't accept him since he wasn't walking", I tried to remind her."That was before now I had seen him he looks far better. He is also very self-sufficient. I didn't see you once running for his aid", said Heidi."But Heidi that is because it is Dane and you know how stubborn he is. He hardly ever accepts help. Even if he is in dire need of it. That doesn't mean he is OK", I tried to talk some sense to her."That is not what you said earlier", she said suspiciously."I had promised you to leave him because of the threats Enzo had posed on his life. But now he is not walking and Enzo had quit his rampage. There is no need for me to worry. I can completely focus on his health and well-being", I told her."I knew that you will back out soon with ever
