Chapter 7 new normal

Amellie Cruz "We need a framed wedding picture in his room and we need to decorate his and put your things in his room. I already talk to everyone and they already knew how to act in front of him."-mom. "Don t worry about the room, I already talk to Susan and she knew what to do. As for the wedding picture, I already took care of that. They ll be delivering it anytime soon. I have used the power of technology. For the wedding pictures, tell him that you lose the SD card for that a month after the wedding."-dad. I nodded to agree. "We need to make sure that when he gets home, nothing suspicious will trigger him. Let time heal his physical and mental state."-mom. "Don t worry mom, I ll try my best to cope up with my new role."-I said. They both hug me. "I m sorry honey, you put in this situation. You must have been the woman that he wanted to be his wife should have. Tyra is the reason why--okay. I shouldn t think of that woman. Let s concentrate on the problems now."-she added. "Yes mom. We should concentrate in that."-I said. Tomorrow will be my brother s discharge in hospital. I took my bag and I need to go back in the hospital and our parents stay here to finish what we need to prepare to hide the truth to him. "I m back. I cook something for you."-I said. Peter is here. He smiled on me. "Amellie, good thing you came back. You brother…I mean husband is waiting for that magic food that he s talking about."-he said. "I m sorry, I caught into a traffic jam. You can join us for lunch."-I said. He smiled. "Well, I won t decline that."-he said. We all eat together and he can be able to move around now. He stays here for 10 days already. "Peter, why are you giving me that weird gaze? Exactly how mom and dad gave to me since I woke up from my surgery." "Oh that? I m sorry if it gives you uneasiness. I m still amaze how you and Amellie became lovers then now a married couple." "C mon dude. It s been a year. Still can t believe it?" "Well, you can t blame me. She s your sister, remember?"-he said. I just listen to their conversation. He smiled. "But technically we re not blood related." "Well, yes. Ah, never mind. What I want for you is to recover and be happy again." "Thank you dude. You ll be a godparent of our first baby and even to our last born."-he said. We almost choke ourselves because of what he said. I m really in a big trouble. Will I really be his wife forever? Ethan Andrews She helps me to get inside and everyone gives me a warm smile. I miss home. "Welcome home, Sir Ethan!"-they said. I smiled. "Thanks everyone. I m finally here. The hospital is very boring."-I said. They smiled. Nanny Susan hug me and I knew she is really worried. "I;m glad your back."-she said. I hug her back. "Of course nanny Susan."-I said and caress her back. "You should take a rest and later on, dinner will be serve."-I said. "Susan, make sure to make an healthy food for dinner okay?"-om. "Yes, Mrs. Andrews. Don t worry about that."-she answered. They help me in guiding him upstairs. Good thing that he s recovering much faster than the doctor thought. In his room turns our room, the door opens. I m surprised on how they changed it. Even the big portrait of the edited wedding picture of us on the wall. "I m happy to be back again."-he said. "We;re also happy son that your recovering much faster than the doctor expected from you." "Maybe because of your caring thoughts and actions mom and dad. Especially you, love."-I said to her. I can see the awkwardness in my parents and even here whenever I showed them my affection to Amellie. Why is that? She nodded and put down the bag on the floor. "I ll take that bag and tomorrow the maids will take care of it. You need to enroll in Friday isn t it?" "Yes dad. Thank you."-she said. "We ll leave you two. We ll just call in the intercom when the dinner is ready."-mom. "Yes mom. Thank you."-I said. Dad took the bag and leave us. She sits down beside me at the edge of the bed. "Love, is everything okay? I have been noticing this since the first time that I woke up from my surgery. Everyone and even you are having that weird expression whenever I called you love and show my affection to you." "Huh? Did we?" "You do. Is there anything you want to confess to me? Tell me now. I don t want you to hide something from me. So please, did we get into fight before my accident? Is that the reason why I went to a drink? Tell me." "Love, nothing is happening between us okay? Trust me. We re just making faces because of the thought that we almost lost you. Nothing serious okay?"-she said. But I can sense it. I hug her and tried to hide her that I m doubting her. "I love you, Amellie."-I said. She caress my back. "Me too. I love you."-she said and kiss my cheek. Amellie Cruz He s already sleeping but here I am, looking stiff while staring the ceiling. I can t believe that I m already in this situation where I can t runaway. "Why do you have to be in this situation brother?"-I said and face his side. I look at his angelic face. He s sleeping like a baby. What I m going to do if one day he will ask me to do it with him? But we almost do that before. Good thing I have my senses back and smack his nape to made him dead sleep or else… "Good morning, love." "Oh my gosh!"-I shouted. He give me a surprise look. I cleared my throat and think of a reason why I reacted that way. 'I m sorry. You scared me because your face is too close."-I said. He chuckled. "I m just staring on my wife s beautiful face. I still can t believe that your my wife even if you marry me since last year. Thinking that we started as siblings then our age gap as well." "Oh that? Jus like you have said, its been a year and why you still have to look at me like that? And I grow up with you. How come that you think that I m so beautiful. Are you sure your eyes are still okay?"-I said. He suddenly pulled me in his arms and pulled the quilt to cover us. "It s too early for your perverted thought."-I said just to warn him. He laugh softly and suddenly makes a serious face. "Love, tell me, are you happy or did I put you in a bad situation and stole your chances to enjoy your youthful life/ I know I have rush you out to marry me and its because of my foolishness. I m too afraid that someone will take you away from me." "Huh?"-I said. I tried to know what kind of thought his head made for him. "I thought my love for you is because your my sister but when I saw you smiling to a man at school? My day is ruined and I even ask Peter to drink with me. That s when I realized that I love you as a woman."-he said. I sigh. "But you shouldn t think of that way. I m not going anywhere and that man must have been asking something and you just thought that my smile meant the way other." "Maybe so. That s why I ask mom and dad to let me marry you or else, I ll destroy my life." "Now I know. That s why mom and dad convince me."-I said acting that we re really in that kind of situation even if it doesn t exist at all. After eating breakfast, he said that he will be reading his favorite book and I excused myself and talk to mom and dad. We agreed that we will report on each other if he told us about his fake memories. Ethan Andrews It took me two weeks before I can be able to go back in the office again. My wife already went back to school and she ll be graduating this school year. I look at my notes and I saw an important message. "What is the meaning of this? -I mumbled. I decided to talk to dad s secretary and told him to give me the papers and files that I needed. "Sir Ethan, you have to take it slowly. Remember that you just had a surgery in your brain." "I can do this. Alert mom and dad as well." "I will, Sir Ethan. -he said. I started to work and later on, mom came into my office. "How did you have this kind of notes? Secretary Miller told me about your suspicion." "Yes mom, I have learned to make a code myself. And the way I wrote that and the codes that I made? I think that person is trying to sell something out of our sight." "A code? What code?"-mom ask. "The dots in three vowels of the second, fifth and sevenths words."-I said. I close that folder and look at my desktop. "If it was a vowel, it is an emergency security for our company. If it is in the consonants, it means someone is trying to embezzle the company s funds." "Is that so? Then let us do it, don t push yourself that hard. You have to remember that your still recuperating."-she said and took some of the folders in my table. I look at her and smile. "I m okay mom. Don t baby me, I m already an old boy."-I said. She laugh. "But your still that baby in my eyes. Let us handle the rest okay? Just take it easy."-she said. "It s okay mom. We should know who is behind this and dad and you might have any idea for that. Just give this part to me, okay?" "Well, you have a point. Just take it easy then. I ll be back when I have an answer. Your dad is in a meeting to a certain client outside. Just call me okay?"-she said. I smiled and nodded. She leave me here. For some reason, I have this feeling that I have forgotten something that is important. But I also have this guts that I don t want to think about that anymore. And that made me curious. "Hello, love. I want to pick you up at school. I m on my way."-I said over the phone. (What? But I m already outside. I m on my way home. I m in a subway.) "What? Get out on the next station. I want to have a date with you tonight."-I said. (Okay. I will. I ll message you then.) "Okay. Love you." (Love you too. Be safe in driving.) "I will/ I ll see you then."-I said and drop the call.
