My Wife & I

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 2

---

The car was parked and Daniel got

down from the Toyota Venza. He looked

at Nora and smiled as he motioned

inside the plaza. He had told her to wait

for him outside there, he was just

wanted to get something. Still unknown

to Nora, she patiently waited.

She had waited for some minutes and

decided to peep outside because she

had been busy pinging her friends and

wedding planner. Then, her peep met

Alex’s stare.

She couldn’t help her ecstasy but to

rush to meet Alex. Both of them hugged

each other firmly for seconds until Daniel

came outside and met the scene. It

seemed Nora’s ecstasy had made her

forgotten that she would get married

the next day.

Daniel didn’t know Alex, but even if

that was her brother, the hug shouldn’t

be as firm as it was! He had thought as

the package he was holding dropped

down and his mouth wide open.

By the time Nora would know she

was doing the wrong thing, she saw

Daniel’s face and froze also. Alex, looking

away also saw the face of his wife-to-be

that he had told to park by the entrance

of Esmak Plaza and his heart skipped a

beat.

Daniel swooshed out a long breath as

he managed hold his tears back. He

walked into the car and Nora rushed

into the car too. She wouldn’t leave her

husband-to-be to leave angrily.

Daniel, also pulling out of the Plaza

indignantly now saw Gloria and

marched on the brake quickly. Was he

seeing a ghost? What was really

happening? He parked the vehicle and

rushed down. “Gloria?” He shouted as

he widened his eyes and moved closer.

The name made Gloria look the

direction and saw him too. “Daniel!” She

called as the key to her vehicle that she

was holding dropped on the floor.

Daniel couldn’t hold himself back, both

rushed to each other also, not minding

the fact that they were engaged.

The bond of love was still there! As I

saw her, I wanted to die. I thought I just

saw a ghost now, if she was, I was

ready to follow her! No! I still loved her

so much that I couldn’t hold back myself.

Maybe that was how Alex and Nora

felt too. But, I still loved her. I wiped my

tears continuously as I looked into her

eyes. She had grown more beautiful and

matured. Gloria was my life.

Looking back, I saw Nora, already out

of the car, looking at me. Alex had also

stood akimbo, looking at Gloria and I,

then I knew I was done for too.

At first, I thought it was t-t for tat but I

felt uncomfortable. Is this how Nora is

feeling presently? I asked myself as I

saw Gloria also looking at Alex.

Then Alex approached us and nabbed

Gloria’s hand. He pushed her into the

vehicle and drove away. I looked at the

Hyundai car as it sped off until I was

unable to see the vehicle again. I walked

back to my car and looked at Nora who

was probably in shock or… what should

I even call this?

We both entered into the vehicle and I

drove off. The car just remained silent. I

wasn’t pleased with what she did and

she wasn’t pleased with mine.
