I woke up early... or shall I say didn't slept at all. I was turning all night as the thoughts weren't ready to leave my mind as why she said all those things to me.
I decided to go for a run as it acts like a therapy for me when I get frustrated or stressed.
Victor was sleeping peacefully. Why won't he be ? It's fucking 5 in the morning !
I got fresh and went for a run. I ran for almost 2 hours and finally felt a bit better after running and sweating.
I returned home and took shower. I am fucking hungry after the good run.
I went to the dining table for breakfast and saw my love was standing there looking at me. Neither of us smiled, it was kinda awkward.
I sat on my place and saw a plate full of sandwiches. I don't like them at all but I don't care I am so hungry, I can even eat fucking soil right now.
I took a bite and the fucking disgusting taste of capsicum hit my taste bud and before I could say anything my mouth started fucking burning as the hotness hit me !
I was about to spit it out but I asked first,
" Who made this ? "
I almost yelled in frustration.
" Uh... I... I made them... "
Aurora shuttered.
What ? She prepared them ?
What the fuck man !
She prepared something for me for the very first time and that too the thing I hate most, adding the veggie I hate most and on top of that she made them spicy as hell !
What shall I do ? I can't break her heart. But I can't even eat it !
I will die !
" Oh ! It's so tasty ! "
I said and tried to keep smile on my face and ate them quickly.
I did maintained the smile but I couldn't help keep hissing at the burning sensation in my mouth.
" I... I am sorry. You didn't liked them ? "
Aurora asked feeling guilty and she was looking like she was about to cry.
Oh god no ! Please, baby please, don't cry.
" No no. I loved them ! "
I said.
" Look at him, Ana ! He hates capsicum the most and spicy food too yet, he finished it without complaining just because his wife prepared it !
If, it was someone else; he would have threw them away and left hangry ! Hungry and angry and frustrated ! "
Mom said spilling the beans.
Mom ! Did you really had to do that ?
" By the way baby, why did you prepared them like this ? Do you like them this way ? "
Mom asked Aurora. She shook her head in disagreement.
" Then why ? You should have asked someone from this house to help you ! Look you made him eat what he hates the most ! "
Rachel's mom said shaking her head.
" Aunty ! Don't talk to my wife like that. She didn't know and that's OK. She will know eventually. No need to drag the topic ! "
I said getting mad at her when, I saw Aurora's eyes wet.
" Well, she didn't do it on purpose, aunty ! Rachel helped her. I heard with my own ears. I was there !
She told exactly how the others want their sandwiches; but lied about Vladimir's !
Didn't you Rachel ? "
Victor said smiling innocently, which I know isn't innocent at all.
" Why did you mislead her ? "
I asked getting mad.
The burning in my mouth wasn't reducing and this mother daughter duo always get on my nerves and so, my words were coming more bitterly than I expected.
" I... I was just messing with her. I just wanted to tease you. It was just a prank ! "
Rachel said as if, it was nothing.
I glared at her and left as it was getting unable to stand the burning in my mouth and I didn't wanted Aurora feel guilty and so, I left to Victor's room.
After a while I heard knock at the door and I opened the door to see, my baby with tears in her eyes and a tray in her hands.
I badly wanted to wipe her tears but her words from last night echoed in my mind and I stopped myself from touching her. I gave her way to get inside the room.
She put the tray on the table and sat on the bed. I looked at her and she patted beside her, gesturing me to take a seat there. I sat beside her and she handed me a glass of cold milk.
" It... it will help to... reduce the bur... burning... "
She chocked on her sobs.
" Please Aurora, don't cry baby. "
I whispered.
She quickly wiped her tears away and I gulped down the milk and then, she gave me custard to make the hot and chilli taste go away. I ate the custard and it did felt good.
She then gave me a bowl full of honey and a spoon. I had the honey till I felt the burning reduce bit by bit and then placed the bowl back in tray.
She wasn't looking at me.
" Baby, look at me. "
I said trying not to hiss as the hotness was still there.
She didn't looked at me and tears were flowing down her eyes without even a pause. I felt my heart wreck.
I couldn't even touch her ! I held myself back from touching her for a while but then gave up. I don't care if, she slapps my hand away but I need to console her !
I placed my hand around her shoulder and pulled her towards me. She willingly came close to me and wrapped her arms around me. I tighten my grip on her and pressed my lips on her head.
" Shhh. Calm down baby, you know I can't watch you cry. Please stop crying, my heart hurts watching you like this. "
I whispered softly to her.
" I... I am so... sorry. I didn't know... I should have asked... I am really sorry... I didn't do it on purpose... Rachel... she said... Victor told me not to trust her but... I should have listened to him... I am so sorry... "
She said crying out loud.
" Hey, it's alright, baby. You don't have to apologize. And I know you didn't do it on purpose.
And yes, you should have listened to Victor. I know he have troubled you but trust me he isn't a bad guy.
I have confronted him for troubling you, he said he was just teasing you to make you feel home and not feel like you are at some unknown place.
And whatever he did, I swear he won't repeat it.
And to be honest, trust anyone in the world but Rachel and her mom ! They are the definition of double faced and evil people. Especially towards you, so just be aware of them, ok ? "
I said caressing her back lovingly.
" What have I done to them ? I don't even know them ! "
She said sniffing.
" I know love ! You haven't done anything. It's just that Rachel's mom wanted me to marry her daughter and so, she tried to push us together.
But I was in love with you since forever and so, I didn't paid attention to her and that got her mad.
She purposefully made you buy that stupid gown for our wedding. I knew her plan I just didn't wanted her to find it out till our wedding day that, I have changed your gown.
And her face was a site to watch when you entered the hall all gorgeous with the stunning gown ! "
I said chuckling remembering her face.
Aurora stiffened in my arms. Maybe she got uncomfortable and so, I let her go.
" Stop crying, ok ? I am not mad at you. "
I said.
She looked at me with her big innocent eyes and I badly wanted to kiss her. I even leaned in a bit; but I remembered my mouth still have hotness and I don't want her to taste it as well and so I pecked her forehead instead and leaned back.
It's becoming very awkward between us like this and I am not liking it.
" Um... I need to go to work. I am so sorry but something urgent came. I really don't wanna leave you alone on the very next day of our wedding but... it's something really unevitable, baby. "
I said hesitantly feeling really bad for her.
" It's alright. And no, you don't have to feel bad because... even I need to go to work today. It's also very important. Even I am sorry I have to go. "
She said biting her lower lip nervously.
