Novel & Cerita Unscramble Waited

Cute. Wait. Cute?

Dangerous. Waiting.

I walked to places, and where I couldn't, I took a taxi, like a regular bloke. I made myself lunch and sat in front of my window looking down at the London traffic. It moved at a snail's pace, that was how I felt things were moving for me. Once satisfied I had done what I could to lift my spirits, I dialed my Uncle's number and he picked up on the first ring. "Took you long enough. How hard can it be to look over one store?" he boomed over the phone, something was wrong. "It's good to hear your voice. I missed you too."

I was the coward. Far off, the announcement called for boarding. Through the crowd, I moved the opposite way. This time, my steps were steady. I stopped in front of Ewan. As his eyes widened, I held out my hand to him. "Okay." A single tear, warm with heat, fell from my eye onto our tightly clasped hands.

Bruno clearly knew about the pregnancy, too. But none of their business had anything to do with me anymore. I struggled to my feet, rubbing my aching back, and carefully made my way downstairs. I hailed the fastest cab I could find. Even though I moved as quickly as possible, my back slowed me down and I was still a step too late. I had to reschedule my flight. Despite that, I didn’t feel discouraged. I put some medicine on my back and booked the next available flight, spending the night at the airport. I also used this time to change my visa from short-term to long-term, as I wasn’t planning to come back anytime soon.

Life did not rush back in all at once. It returned in pieces—small, ordinary fragments that felt strangely sacred after everything they had endured. Morning sunlight through the kitchen window. The quiet clink of a spoon against a mug. The low murmur of the radio playing a song no one was really listening to. Evelyn’s recovery shaped their days. She wasn’t allowed to do much at first, which irritated her greatly. “I am not an invalid,” she announced one morning, attempting to stand without help.

I waited. And waited. But nothing happened.

Not raised. Not sheathed. Waiting.

"Now wait here." "Wait for what?"
