Love Hate Relationship - Chapter 32：What are you trying to do?

Sasha walked down the hall in low spirit and walked out through the hospital doors. The night was pitch black and the breeze was cool more like cold. She looked around and thankfully there was a fast food just opposite the hospital and it was still open, she crossed the road and pushed opened the door of the shop, a bell jingled to signal the waiter or waitress about her presence. It wasn’t up to five seconds and a middle age woman walked out from a room and smiled to her, the shop was almost empty with just a man and a woman sitting on a table at the far end of the room.

“Hello, good evening” the lady greeted and Sasha nodded “what can I get for you?”

“Noodles” Sasha answered directly and went to sit down on one of the empty tables.

“Right way” the woman said after her before dashing back into the room she had emerged from.

Sasha sat on a table near the glass wall, she rested her hear on it and closed her eyes, both Michael’s accident and what Gary told her has really changed her mood. She had concluded within herself that he hates her only to discover that he was responsible for the sudden growth of her company, at the moment, Sasha was lost, she doesn’t know what to think anymore, does he love or hate her? Or does he love and hate her at the same time? Is their marriage a love hate relationship? She really can’t tell.

She sat lost in thought there while she wait for her noodles, she tried to think about some happy moments but there was no happy moment she has with Michael except in highschool when he always respond to her formal greetings, she heaved a sigh. She can still remember the day of her birthday, she had received birthday wishes from everybody, she had thought her husband will wish her but he had walked in and went straight to his room as usual, she shook her head and heaved a sigh, that is not a happy moment, she chided herself.

The woman emerged again from the room carrying a tray which she dropped on the table Sasha was sitting on, her action had jolted Sasha out of her thoughts, she looked at the woman who smiled at her “I hope you enjoy it” she uttered and walked away.

Sasha stared at the noodles and her tummy rumbled again, she sighed and picked up her fork and started eating, she can’t really tell the taste of the noodles but all she knows is that it was satisfying her hunger. She paid the woman when she was done and left the shop, she walked to the hospital with her head staring on the floor and her hands in her pant pockets.

“Whoa, finally. I have been worried sick” she heard and looked up to see Gary with his hand on his chest and he was breathing heavily as a sign of relief, his boss might be treating her coldly but he will really kill him if anything happens to her.

Sasha smiled faintly at his acting “when did you wake up?”

“Close to twenty minutes ago” he answered and they both started walking back to Michael’s room “so where went you?”

“I got hungry, so I left in search of what to eat.”

“Did you find?”

“Yea, there is a fast food just opposite the hospital.”

“You could have just told me to get something for you” he rolled his eyes.

Sasha chuckled lightly at that, she found it amazing that Michael’s assistant can be so easy to talk to “I couldn’t bear to wake you up, you looked so tired and like you needed the sleep.”

He heaved a sigh “yea, but still, you should have told me. I can always come back and continue sleeping.”

Sasha smiled “next time then.”

They both remained quiet after that and walked silently to the room, a thought suddenly occurred to Sasha and she looked at Gary “you said you have been with Michael since he was eighteen right?”

“That’s right” he nodded.

Sasha bit her lower lip “is there by any chance you know if there is a girl he likes, you know like a past love or something?”

Gary grew quiet and just when she thought he wouldn’t answer, he spoke up “I don’t think it’s in my power to talk about his love life, I hope you understands” he looked at her.

Sasha shrugged before nodding “yea I do, I understand” she was quiet “don’t mind me, I just wanted to know and again to keep the conversation going.”

“I know” he smiled “but such information has to be told by him.”

“Yea, you are right” they have reached the room by then and they both sat on the chair, each lost to their own thoughts. Sasha was actually counting the minutes in her heart, she got tired of sitting and decided to go in to lie down a little.

Immediately she stood, Gary opened his eyes and he was staring at her intently “what?” Sasha asked.

“I just want to know if you will leave without telling me again.”

“I know, but I have already set myself to wake up once you stand up, that’s all.”

Sasha smiled and let out a deep breath “I will go in now, he still has an hour to wake up, let me know if I can catch a sleep with that.”

“Sure” Gary nodded.

“Goodnight Gary.”

“Goodnight mistress” he replied and Sasha walked into in the room. Her gaze fell on the peaceful man laying on the bed with his eyes closed, she inhaled and exhaled slowly before walking closer to him, she stared at his facial features and marveled at how handsome he looked, how long his lashes are, whereas she as a woman has to fix artificial at times, just why was he blessed with everything? She can’t help but wonder.

She let out a deep breath again and stretched out her hand to caress his cheek when a pair of crystal blue eyes was staring at her suddenly. Sasha froze and her hand hovered in mid air, she gulped as she stared at those deep blue eyes, why did he wake up suddenly? Didn’t the doctor said he will wake up in the next hour?

“What are you trying to do?” He asked, his voice was low and almost a whisper but it still sounded cold to those who hear it and she involuntarily shuddered.
