Semua Bab The Husband Who Wakes Up Loving Me (English): Bab 1 - Bab 9

The entire house was quiet. Too quiet for a home that had once been filled with laughter, affection, and dreams.Sophia Gonzaga sat at the long dining table, staring at the food that had already gone cold. It was ten o’clock at night. Two hours had passed since she and her husband were supposed to have dinner together.But as usual, Adrian was nowhere to be seen.Once again, he had not come home early. And just like every other night, she would probably end up eating alone. Not that it mattered, the food was already cold.She let out a quiet sigh as she glanced at the wall clock. Even the ticking seemed to understand how empty she felt.10:07 PM.How many times has this happened? She had already lost count.At first, she used to worry. She would call Adrian over and over again and send him countless messages. She would stay awake until dawn just to make sure he got home safely.Because he was her husband but eventually, she grew tired. Every time she showed concern, Adrian always gave

It turned out that there was nothing more painful than seeing your greatest fear finally become reality. That was what Sophia learned as she sat on the floor of Adrian's home office. She had no idea how long she had been crying.Maybe a few minutes or maybe an hour. Maybe even longer. She no longer cared.It felt as though time had stopped and the world had stopped. Everything had stopped. Everything except the pain that continued to consume her.Adrian's phone was still beside her and the screen was still on. And the messages were still there, stabbing her heart over and over again."I miss you already.""Last night was perfect.""When are you telling your wife?"Wife.Not Sophia and not her name. Just a wife.As if she was nothing more than an obstacle in their lives. A problem that needed to be removed. She closed her eyes and wiped away her tears. She didn't know which hurt more. The fact that Adrian had cheated on her or the fact that it had been going on for so long because wha

Three days had passed since Sophia decided to end her marriage. And during those three days, she had not felt any relief. She thought that once she made her decision, everything would become easier. She thought that once she accepted that it was over, the pain would lessen but that wasn't how it worked.Because no matter how painful the truth was, she still loved Adrian and that was the biggest problem. She didn't need to learn how to forget him. She needed to learn how to let him go while she still loved him. She was sitting in her small library on the second floor of the house.The room was quiet, with only the soft sound of the wind coming from outside. Maybe that was better. At least the silence gave her mind a little peace.In front of her was a blank sheet of paper. Beside it was an expensive fountain pen. A gift Adrian had given her on their second wedding anniversary. A bitter smile crossed her lips. She still couldn't believe he had done all of this.Back then, Adrian knew ev

A heavy silence settled over the house after Sophia left their bedroom.Adrian Gonzaga remained seated on the edge of the bed, his eyes fixed on the closed door she had disappeared through moments ago. He stayed there for a long time and just stared. Listening to the silence she had left behind.On the bed in front of him lay the divorce papers and the letter Sophia had written. Neither of them had been touched. Neither of them had been opened and for some reason, he couldn't bring himself to do it.It was kinda strange and a part of him wanted to know what she had written. Another part of him didn't. Something inside him kept whispering not to touch the envelope, not yet. So he simply sat there, staring and thinking.The room suddenly felt too quiet and too empty. His gaze drifted back to the door. The same door Sophia had walked through only minutes ago and for the first time, a strange feeling settled inside his chest.It wasn't guilt, it wasn't a regret and it was something else.

Three days had passed, and Adrian still had not woken up. For three days, Sophia had barely left the hospital. For three days, she had sat beside the ICU room, watching the man lying motionless in the bed.He still had not moved. He looked as though he was simply sleeping but everyone knew the truth that the situation was far more serious than that. His condition was still critical. Although his vital signs had stabilized, there was still no guarantee about when he would wake up.Or if he would ever wake up at all.And with every hour that passed, fear wrapped itself tighter around Sophia's heart. She no longer understood her own feelings. Should she be angry? Should she be hurt? She did not know anymore.The pain Adrian had caused her was still there. She knew it would never disappear so easily.But whenever she looked at him lying helplessly in that hospital bed, all those painful feelings seemed to fade away. And all that remained was the man she had once loved with all her heart.
