It was 30 minutes before lunch break. She first made sure she was near her husband's office before texting and informing him of the plan. She's on the stairs going to the company entrance when her cell phone rings.
"Hello?"
"Why didn't you tell me right away?" He asked right away.
"Will it be a surprise if I told you?" She said, laughing. She also heard his soft laugh, then the voice of the father-in-law in the background.
"W-Wait! You are not in the office with

They were dead eyes looking at her. As if he didn't really know her. "E-Elroy, you don't know me?" "N-No." He said straightforwardly. "Elroy, it’s I-Infinity. Your wife." She is holding her chest because her heart is about to burst, her heart is beating crazy right now. "What are you saying?" She could see that he was annoyed. "No…I don't have a wife yet." Now he was confused. Elroy’s disgruntled with what's happening right now. He woke up a month ago with broken bones, lying in bed with wires attached to his head and whole body.

He still vividly remembers the shocked faces of his parents.

She wiped away the tears that fell spontaneously. "This will not make your husband happy." "But I think this is what he needs. This is what we need.” Her voice broke from holding back the tears. “He… He needs to focus on healing. For his memories to come back. For everything to be fine, I will focus on our son. I will take care of him, love him. For the time that his father has recovered, we are both okay. He will come back to us. Whole and he
