I knocked at the wooden door in the house. I forgot to mention the house being of different phases. The room was just a little stepped away from the living room with other rooms beside it. Since Arnold had decided to pack his luggage away from our room to avoid me, he had made the guest room his.I switched on my phone to check what time it was as I got no response while knocking at the door for the past few minutes now. Has he slept already? I need to speak to Arnold this night. I just hoped he opened up the door for me. I knocked again, there comes a slight opened of the door. My heart skipped as I held on the door knob. I shut my eyes closed and moved inside the bedroom after few seconds of drama.I am just being scared of what the outcome could be. I stood closed to the door after I locked it back.The only brightness that was visible in the room was that of his screen laptop. I heard the sound as he used his finger tips on the keyboard. He sat o
"Are you there Monica?" Fedrick's voice came through the phone immediately I peered it in my ear."I am listening Fedrick. Why do you call so late at night?" I cupped my forehead on my hand."I am sorry I called so late. I and Victor just departed, I am driving home now." Horns of cars sounded over the phone, disturbing my ear drum."Oh! What happened over there? Are you able to bring down something?""Monica, like I said, Victor had this planned down for so long. I don't really know who to believe right now. I don't know what really happened that night, but he repeated all he said to you, to me this night. He said you had something, he let me know you are not in your right mind so he took advantage of that. He said it confidently that he enjoyed every bit of the night. You guys had intimacy girl, think about it. I am not able to record such nasty things, there is no prove in it. It will only make it worse.""This can't be. How come I don't

Arnold stood furiously at the dining table in a full of raged. His face was covered up with sweat and I could see the liquid in his forehead dripped down his face. His eyes widened up in horror, looks like he was going attack whoever came close. His chest beat faster, visible inside his house wear.I heard the sound of thick liquid as it drizzled down the tiled floor continously, their are blood traced on the floor. Up to his palm, was a hand soaked in blood. His arm trembled to the reaction of the cut in his palm."Oh my God! Ar–" I ran down to him at the dining table. He raised up his hand to stop me before I could get to him. "This is not the time to be stubborn. Let me–""Don't come close to me!" His breathing started all over as he growled, then he flung the broken glass cup on the white table with the same bloody hand to the floor."Arrgh!" I covered my mouth in reaction. The tears came again. I have never seen Arnold in this kind of situation, not even in such anger."Brother!"
I quivered awake from bed in an heavy breath and perspiration all over my body. I gasped in and out making an heavy sound. I looked around the room, all in good state then I strained my hair to the back, face down as I dropped my elbow on my kneel. "Arrgh!" I growled, ruffled my hair, whimpered, and gasped continuously again trying to recover from the horrible nightmare. I made a throaty sound as I heard the sound of a twist in the door.I palmed my hand on the bed and looked closely at the door. I got frightened at the sight of Arnold. I moved an inch backward and shook my head slightly."We heard your scream Monica. Are you okay?" Loveth climbed on the bed to get close to me but my focus was still on Arnold. "What happened?" I turned my gaze to Loveth and pulled her in for an embrace, in fear and heavy tears."Do you have a nightmare?" She rubbed my hair aback. I squeezed her vintage shirt and shut my eyes closed which I am sure it would have gotten wrinkled by now. "I don't wanna
Arnold was rushed into the operation room just immediately we got to the city hospital. I paced about the reception in his blood stained all over my pink pyjamas. A familiar smell overcame me, the pungent smell of the hospital that reeked of my nostrils.The smells of sickness, antiseptic, mortality, the putrid smells that would make you never want to be in here. This is not a place anyone wanted to be. Not even the problems and the tears you see in patients faces. The place was clean and tidy, so I don't need to feel irritated about anything at all.Just then, a patient was rushed in with an oxygen in his nose. The female guardians eyes were heavy with tears as she roamed about in confusion. She was a slim and dark skinned lady robed in a fabric styled in gown. Her hair was messy, in brown colour. She wandered down to the waiting room where few patients are. I guessed those ones are appointed patients.I caught a guy at the middle of the pa
Mum had been visiting since the beginning the incident happened. It had been a week now, Arnold still haven't wake up from coma. Not even a sign that he would wake up anytime soon.I laid down on the long chair in Arnold's ward asleep then I felt a touch on my skin. I moved my body a bit. The hand on my skin again, I opened up my eyes reluctantly to see a tall figure in front of me.A muscular arm and a long face with beard in his chin. His whole skin was dark but fresh. His teeth made a difference as he widened up his lips."You?! What are you doing here?" I frowned at him."Hey! Calm down wife! I am just here to check on you. You haven't been coming to work, because of your broken husband to prevent your already broken marriage." He sat close to Arnold on bed and that alone made me boiled up.I jerked up from where I laid. I walked a few steps down to him and pulled him up on the bed."I don't need your sympathy so just leave me and my husband a
"Hello hello! It is a bright new day–oh! Look at them."I stretched my hand grudgingly and made few sound to the reaction of the voice that came through early morning."Come on. Arnold is awake.""Hmm!" I opened up my eyes. I was still on his chest as our gazes met with each other. "Oh! Good morning Loveth." I got up from his chest, then he gasped out. "Are you okay? Oh my God, I slept on your chest the whole night."Loveth chuckled covering up her mouth with the colourful– yellow, green and pink flower in her hand."Is it funny?""Of course it is. That must be hell for him and you know he can't talk just yet.""Oh God! I am really sorry.""Hello! Good morning this beautiful morning."We both looked back to the door to see the doctor."Hi doc!""Hello doctor!" Loveth said as she dropped her portable handy bag on the sofa with the flower."This is a beautiful morning indeed," he moved clos
