Chapter 26—Taking care again

last update Last Updated: 2022-03-16 20:29:57

 

“you both really should control yourself. What if it wasn’t a minor injury? You guys are already old enough to know to take care of your bodies. Doing such things is okay but this should still be done in moderation.” Since, no matter what we say, Victoria is not going to listen to us, Alexander and I kept quiet and just listened to what she was saying while ignoring each of these grinning teenagers.

“Amelia, I’ll inform Janise and tell her what happened to you.” She patted my head as I blinked my eyes, completely tired of the pain tinkling repeatedly from my back to my neck. She turned to Alexander and said “Take care of her and no dirty business. She is not well right now for such things.”

Alexander almost groaned and his other cousins fought the smile.

Marco and Sophia both looked especially constipated and turned their head to the other side.

“Mom, we already told you, Amelia was washing utensils and I was standing beside her, and she just slipped and while saving her, I fell on her. That’s why she was more hurt.”

“Why were you beside her? Why was a man taller than her and stronger than her wasn’t able to save her? There are so many loopholes in your story, I don’t believe a word that comes out of you.” Victoria said and left after giving a warning look to Alexander who was trying to speak again.

“What are you guys snickering at? Laugh again and I’ll make you cry more.” Alexander said and warned his cousins who were still laughing and finally sobered up.

They circled around me, and Sophia asked, “How are you feeling, Amy?”

I nodded at her, still not wanting to speak. Marco squeezed my hand and said, “The doctor said, by evening today, you will feel a lot better.”

“I think we should let her rest now.” Another one of their cousins smiled at me and told all of them to leave and Sophia said “We actually shopped for your engagement party and came to put the stuff in Alex’s place. The date is not yet decided for the party, but Aunt Vic was excited and shopped, so we came to help her with it. We will put it in the guest room. You rest and get well soon.”

I looked at Alexander as soon as I heard the talk of my engagement and he blinked at me while waved at his cousins to leave.

“Why do you always get hurt whenever we sleep together? Last time, you got allergy, this time you fell. What next?”

“…” Now, that he joked about this, I also remembered of how i broke his nose, or hit him where it hurts the most. Almost demolished any hope for new generation of Alexeev’s.

And as his face turned bad, I felt that even he too thought about all the incidents as well.

“Are we really okay for each other?” Alexander who was joking till now suddenly looked constipated from the thought.

I too wondered for a while before shaking my head and whispering "It doesn’t matter, it’s not real anyway."

He peered in my eyes and nodded at me.

“Right. Not real anyway.”

“I’ll get something light for you to eat. You didn’t eat anything in the last four hours.” He got up to leave and I held his hand when he was leaving.

This time, he turned around and sat back in his chair. He saw as I strained a little to talk to him and smiled as I leaned towards his side on my pillow and closed my eyes.

It was the first time I held someone’s hand and didn’t let go just to hold and sleep. It was a new sensation, but it wasn’t a weird one. Alexander’s hand touched my hairs and I let myself snuggle up to his palm and he allowed it to happen. He caressed my hairs and cheeks before kissing my forehead.

I wondered if kissing forehead was some habit of these people and smiled in my haze.

He let me hold him to sleep and even kissed my forehead. Was it really just friendship or was it more?

The questions flashed and lost in my head. It was not a matter of thinking anyways, what will finding answers would do?

I let myself fall deeper in sleep with a calm mind and easeful sleep. The pain in my neck finally eased a little because of his constant massaging of my hair but that might just be my delusion from sleep.

“Amy, get up and eat something now.” I looked at Alexander gazing down at me holding a tray in his hand and lazily got up slowly not feeling much on my back and smiled as he placed the tray in my lap and caressed my neck a little for a comfort touch and I leaned on his palm before eating the food. It was just some rice porridge and vegetables but still nice enough to eat.

“The doctor said we can take you home as all the reports came out and there’s no internal injury. Just some bruises that will get well if you keep applying sprays on them.” Alexander said and packed some of my stuff as I ate.

He took the tray from me when I finished my food and gave me clothes to change. I tried to get up but still felt dull pain in my mid-riff and had to take Alexander’s help to reach the washroom and changed while he stood outside.

As soon as I changed, I opened the door and Alexander stood there with all my stuff and his, held his hand out to me.

I looked at his hand for a few second and finally held his hand and he placed his other hand on my waist to help me move easily.

    Nik looked at his father working on a file and opened his own toy laptop that he got after a lot of begging from his mother. His mother is a nice woman but surely, a strict mom. She loves watching all kinds of drama and she believes that help only when you can, otherwise just sit on the sidelines with a snack to watch. Even Nona believes so. Nona definitely taught Mom well. She is exactly like her. “Hey dad, what do we do now?” Nik asked as he tried to copy his father as he worked on files and other things. Today, he was in his dad’s office as his dear mother had to go for some promotions of her books and also, his little sister went to attend her play school while he, who had his holidays because of exams was left here to work with his father. “You can go and ask Sib to give you games.” Dad said with his eyes still on the screen causing Nik to almost say ‘how rude’ but he stopped because he didn’t want to get smacked again for talking nonsense. Though, Nik felt that those smac

    "Dad, you think it's good?" My seven-year-old son asked as he checked the gift I bought for his mom and my wife."Dad, why do I feel you are cheating on mom?" Nik asked as he touched the necklace and I looked at him incredulously."What are you speaking about?" I don't understand how exactly he reached that conclusion."Well, me and mom were watching this nice drama and–""You and your mom? She let you watch with her?" The woman who is usually shouting all the time about not letting these kids watch drama because they ask questions that are way mind-blowing than anything, let him watch with her..."She didn't let me, I watched myself. These are my eyes, dad." This little twit actually rolled his eyes at me as I kept looking at him and suddenly, he flexed himself and said, "I know I am handsome, no need to stare."I am sure my smiling lips suddenly twitched when I calmed down and said, "You were telling me about why you think I am cheating.""Oh yes, you interrupted me." He said and I

    "Mom!!!!" A loud cry sounded as I let go of the spatula and it felt with a loud clatter, and I hurriedly moved away as I looked behind me to see my daughter of four running towards me with the very expression as if her world has shattered."Pia, what–" little Pia ran to me as her hands wrapped around me and I smiled as her hands wrapped around me knowing whatever she was going to say is going to make me laugh without limit."I think–" her sobs hardened as she reached the part and I wondered what happened to make her cry so much."Baby, calm down, shush now, no more crying." I said as I kept petting her arms and kissed the side of her head and switched of stove leaving the kitchen with her in my arms."Mom, dad–" okay, what did that man do to make her cry like that with no end?"What did he do? Did he shout because you touched his folders and draw on them?" I asked her as I kissed her forehead while wiping her face and cuddling her on the sofa.She shook her head as she denied every sp

    “I think I’m pregnant.” Amelia said as she looked right at the line that proved she was pregnant, and I stilled.“You were on birth control, weren’t you?” I whispered though I was trying to talk.It’s been six months since I married this beautiful woman but all I can feel right now is confused with what is happening right now after I heard what she was talking about.“I am on birth control but this,” she stopped to look at me and came to me to hug after she washed her hands and threw the sticks she used to confirm. “It could be a fake alarm too, you know.”“Right, it’s fake. I don’t want a baby right now and you know it. You want to further your career and I will be leaving for Switzerland in a few days and will only come back after a month or so, we can’t care for a baby right now. We will not take a chance with this. You understand me, right?” whatever I was speaking were the exact thoughts that are clashing in my head but the fear that we will be killing a life was also there.“I k
