Chapter 21 - Silent Treatment

" See you all later " she added in a rush as she sprinted out of the living room , seconds later they heard the roar of her motorcycle engine as she zoomed off while the family gapped at the entrance of the living room with disbelieve written all over their faces . Well , they definitely didn't see that coming .

" What more could a man asked if he has that kind of a woman in his life " Renly's grandfather muttered with a smile . After the family had breakfast , Renly went upstairs to catch up some sleep , he was tired and sleepy , plus he needs to get his jumble thoughts on track because his thoughts right now are not in the right direction.

He was ashamed and guilty , he felt like he has cheated . The more he remembered her words before she left for work , the more uncomfortable the feeling in his chest grew , he has never felt this guiltier in his life but after changing into his pijamas and crashing into his bed his exhaustion worn over his guilty conscience as he was lured by sleep.

" There's a saying that even the most dangerous animal can never overcome sleep " which is true . Every humans is vulnerable when they fall asleep , it is our greatest weakness which we don't consider . Sleep can take away your thoughts and worries most atimes , even if you are traumatized by something , you can sleep for sometime before waking up by your trauma.

Zilvshun returned from work at midnight , everyone was asleep by then , she punched in the code and the door clicked opened , she dragged her exhausted body to the elevator , after getting to the bedroom she shares with the young man , she dropped her belongings on. the sofa and went into the bathroom to take a bath , even though she was tired , she couldn't sleep without having a bath or shower , she wouldn't feel comfortable sleeping like that .

After having a quick shower she went into the closet and put on one of Renly's shirt and one of her cotton shorts , she quickly blow-dry her hair with half closed eyes before dragging herself to the bedroom , she crashed into the soft bed with a satisfied moan . She looked at the young man who was sleeping soundly with complicated eyes before laying on her stomach , she quickly drifted off to sleep with a slight frown between her brows.

She was so damn tired , it been a hectic day , the number of people she had conducted emergency surgery on was too much , she has been doing the surgery the whole day and half the night , the last person she conducted the surgery on was severely injured which took almost all her time , the surgery ended at eleven forty and she got home at twelve midnight . Having shower and the rest took thirty minutes of her time .

The next day , Renly woke up and saw that the young woman was sleeping by his side while laying on her belly as she was facing the other side of the bed with her face. She didn't even bothered about using the blanket to cover herself , she was only wearing one of his shirt paired with a cotton short which he guessed was hers .

Renly sighed as the memories of the previous day flushed in his mind while he starred at the young woman who was sleeping without a care in the world.

Renly pulled the blanket over her sleeping form as she turned to lay side ways with her face which was covered by her head towards him , he tucked away the hair from her face with a slight chuckle . She looks cute with her hair all over the place while her lips were pursed tightly.

Renly sat up , threw off the blanket and waltzed into the bathroom to do his morning bussines after taking his bath he came out , he starred at the young woman for a while before entering his closet , Renly came out dressed in black suit and trouser which he paired with leather shoe .

He walked towards the bed , leaving a kiss on her forehead gently and vanished from the room. Renly got downstairs walking into the kitchen , as he entered he saw Adir whipping up something , he got curious so he greeted , followed by his question.

" Good morning Adir . What are you cooking.... " he asked popping his head over his shoulder to get a glimpse of what he was doing .

" Good morning to you too , I'm making pancakes and bacon for my sister , she loves to eat this whenever she comes back late from work . She told me it takes away her stress " Adir said to Renly with a chuckle.

" waow , that sounds funny " Renly said with an amused chuckle. Renly thought Adir was making that for himself or his sister Mirabelle but turns out he was doing all that for his own sister talking of which , she walked into the kitchen with half closed eyes accompanied with a tired yawn.

" Good morning , hey bro what's up. Why are you in the kitchen so early "Zilvshun asked her brother who was now dishing out the food.

" Good morning baby , go and have a seat in the dining. I will bring it to you " Adir said not responding to her question .

" Okay " she said dragging herself out of the kitchen without casting Renly even a glance which Adir noticed but decided not to say anything about it yet , whatever her sister decides he would always have her back no matter how hard it is for her.

Renly pursed his lips tightly as he gazed at the young woman's back , her back view seemed lonely and defeated , it was as if she has been deserted by the world . Renly made a cup of coffee for himself before walking into the dining room , he sat across from her as she rested her chin on her folded hands which was on the table .

Renly wanted to say something to her but what could probably make her feel bettering....? , he didn't want to lie to her so he chose to keep silent and just watch her. Zilvshun could feel the young man's intense gaze on her but she didn't want to say anything to him , after all what could he probably say to her when they both knew the truth.

Adir brought the tray of foods and juice , he set the tray in front of her , at the same time the servants also set up the table with the breakfast they've made for the family as the family flooded in .

Adir sat beside his sister who raised her head and smiled at the tray of breakfast in front of her. " Geeze bro , I've really missed this " Zilvshun said as she rubbed her hands together while licking her lips . Adir and the others laughed in amusement , they didn't know that a mere breakfast can draw such reaction from her.

" Come on , dig in " Adir told her as he tucked a strand of her hair behind her ears. Not desiring to be told twice , Zilvshun dag in , she moaned softly as her taste buds exploded. " This feels like heaven " she said after swallowing the food in her mouth. " Unfortunately this heaven is only yours " Adir said with a chuckle.

Everyone had their breakfast in comfortable silence , throughout the entire breakfast Zilvshun never once gave Renly a glance , she was so invested in the food on her plate than giving him a simple glance. Renly felt uncomfortable with her silence treatment , he wants them go back to how they've been during the previous days.

" I'm leaving for work now " Renly said to them but the young woman didn't even glanced his way which made the man sighed helplessly as he walked out of the dinning room. Adir allowed a sigh of helplessness slipped his thin lips , typical Zilvshun for you , she might care for you but if you failed to trust her , she won't talk to you until she is satisfied.

After breakfast , Zilvshun went back to bed , she was tired and needed much rest , she doesn't have time to think about anything else at the moment . " I'm worried about them " Mirabelle said to Adir with a worried sigh .

" They will be fine if Renly knows what to do " Adir replied squeezing Mirabelle's hand in assurance .

While Zilvshun slept like a baby that morning , Renly couldn't concentrate on his work , he kept checking his cell phone every now and then but she didn't even bothered calling him or sending him any text messages like the previous night.

Renly opened his messages and clicked on her contact reading the previous messages.

" Hey there , are you okay. I'm just worried about you " the first text message read .

" Tell me your location and I will pick you up if needed " was the second message .

" Okay if you don't want to talk to me just let me know if you are okay , that's all I wanna I hear " third message

" I can't get any sleep when you out there in the cold and God knows where " fourth message..

" Why do you refused to pick up my calls ? " she asked in the fifth message.

" Have I done anything wrong...? , just tell me what it is and I'll apologise to you " sixth message .

" You know you can trust me right...? " seventh message.

" I just wait for you downstairs until you get home " eighth message..

Renly massage his temples with a sad smile on his lips.
